- Notes
- The Broncos traded their fourth-round selection to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for center Gino Gradkowski and the Ravens' fifth-round selection.[1] However, Gradkowski was released by the Broncos prior to the 2015 season.[2]
- The Broncos traded one of their two fifth-round selections, along with their 2015 first- and fifth-round selections and guard/center Manny Ramirez to Detroit Lions in exchange for the Lions' 2015 first-round selection.[3]
- The Broncos acquired an additional seventh-round selection in a trade that sent offensive tackle Chris Clark to the Houston Texans.[4]
- As the result of a negative differential of free agent signings and departures that the Broncos experienced during the 2015 free agency period, the team is expected to receive up to three compensatory selections for the 2016 draft.[5] Free agent transactions that occurred after May 12, 2015 did not impact the team's formula for determining compensatory selections for the 2016 draft.[6] Exact numbers of the selections from rounds 4–7 will be determined when compensatory selections are awarded at the NFL's annual spring owners' meetings in March.
