* The Broncos traded their fourth-round selection to the [[Baltimore Ravens]] in exchange for [[Center (American and Canadian football)|center]] [[Gino Gradkowski]] and the Ravens' fifth-round selection.<ref>{{cite news |last=Renck |first=Troy |title=Broncos acquire center Gino Gradkowski in trade with Ravens |url=http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_27829281/broncos-acquire-center-gino-gradkowski-trade-ravens |newspaper=The Denver Post |date=April 1, 2015 |accessdate=April 1, 2015}}</ref> However, Gradkowski was released by the Broncos prior to the [[2015 Denver Broncos season|2015]] season.<ref>{{cite news |author=Jhabvala, Nicki |title=Broncos claim C James Ferentz, TE Mitchell Henry; release Montee Ball, Gino Gradkowski |url=http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_28768291/broncos-claim-c-james-ferentz-te-mitchell-henry |newspaper=The Denver Post |date=September 6, 2015 |accessdate=September 6, 2015}}</ref>
* The Broncos traded one of their two fifth-round selections, along with their [[2015 NFL draft|2015]] first- and fifth-round selections and [[Guard (American and Canadian football)|guard]]/center [[Manny Ramirez (American football)|Manny Ramirez]] to [[Detroit Lions]] in exchange for the Lions' 2015 first-round selection.<ref>{{cite web |author=DeChant, David |title=Broncos trade up for Missouri LB Shane Ray in first round of 2015 NFL Draft |url=http://www.denverbroncos.com/news-and-blogs/article-1/Broncos-trade-up-for-Missouri-LB-Shane-Ray-in-first-round-of-2015-NFL-Draft/06396ca0-917a-4932-bb23-4713af78acf5 |work=Denver Broncos |date=April 30, 2015 |accessdate=April 30, 2015}}</ref>
* The Broncos acquired an additional seventh-round selection in a trade that sent [[offensive tackle]] [[Chris Clark (American football)|Chris Clark]] to the [[Houston Texans]].<ref>{{cite news |author=Jhabvala, Nicki |title=Chris Clark, Broncos OL, traded to Texans for 2016 draft pick |url=http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_28732429/chris-clark-traded-houston-texans-2016-draft-pick |newspaper=The Denver Post |date=August 31, 2015 |accessdate=August 31, 2015}}</ref>
* As the result of a negative differential of free agent signings and departures that the Broncos experienced during the {{nfly|2015}} free agency period, the team is expected to receive up to three [[National Football League draft#Compensatory picks|compensatory selection]]s for the 2016 draft.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://overthecap.com/draft/ |title=Over The Cap}}</ref> Free agent transactions that occurred after May 12, 2015 did not impact the team's formula for determining compensatory selections for the 2016 draft.<ref>{{cite web |author=Florio, Mike |title=June 1 free-agency deadline moved to May 12 |url=http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/31/june-1-free-agency-deadline-moved-to-may-12/ |work=[[Profootballtalk.com|ProFootballTalk]] |date=March 31, 2015 |accessdate=March 31, 2015}}</ref> Exact numbers of the selections from rounds 4–7 will be determined when compensatory selections are awarded at the [[National Football League|NFL]]'s annual spring owners' meetings in March.
