Denver Broncos 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft: Bo Nix gets some new toys to play with, and defense upgrades physicality

Round 2, Pick 51: Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss

Harris isn’t a dynamic athlete but he has outstanding ball skills and hands. He also improved a ton as a route runner in 2024, adding another way to create separation to his game. This is an extremely dependable second receiver on the NFL level.

Round 3, Pick 85: Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa

The Broncos need to find a more consistent running game. It’s possible someone like Audric Estime could make a big second year jump, but Johnson is just too good to pass up in this slot. If Denver is able to improve the offensive line in free agency, then this offense could be exciting in 2025.

Round 4, Pick 121: Jordan Phillips, DT, Maryland

When you draw up what a nose tackle looks like on the NFL level, you might find a picture of Phillips. He is compact, extremely powerful, and plays with tremendous natural leverage. Phillips probably won’t make a ton of plays behind the line, but has a clear role on the next level.

Round 6, Pick 193: Francisco Mauigoa, LB, Miami

After a good 2023 season, Mauigoa didn’t have the final year most hoped for. He possesses a great body type and closing speed. The former Washington State and Miami star just needs to finish more plays.

Round 6, Pick 199: CJ West, DT, Indiana

It’s very possible that West ends up going considerably higher than this, but this is how the board fell. The former Kent State transfer is dense and extremely powerful. West also has underrated short area quickness to make an occasional play behind the line of scrimmage.

Round 6, Pick 210: Maxen Hook, S, Toledo

At this point in the draft, finding a core team special teamer who brings some alignment versatility on defense is perfect. Hook plays fast and physical, and always seems to be around the football. He’s the type of player who just finds a way to stick on the next level.
