Broncos Scout QBs for 2026 Draft

0:00On April 1st, the Denver Broncos are scouting developmental quarterbacks for the 2026 NFL draft with Jared Stidham at 29 and Sam Ellinger at 27, both hitting free agency in 2027. They're getting ahead of the curve by chatting up some under-the-radar arms who could be late-round picks or undrafted free agents. First up, Derek Robertson from Monmouth in the FCS level. His 6-foot-2, 214-pound guy transferred from Maine, balled out with over 6,400 passing yards, 58 touchdowns, and just 11 picks and 19 games over two seasons. He snagged CWLA offensive player of the year in 2024 and second team all CWLA last year, and he just wrapped a virtual interview with their new QB coach Logan Kilgore. Meanwhile, they also met virtually with Jack Strand from Minnesota State Morehead, a big 6-foot-5, 240-pounder out of Division 2. Over four years and 42 games, he racked up 13,161 yards, 126 touchdowns, and 50.

1:07Interceptions, raw talent with some seasoning. Earlier reports confirmed another sit-down with Rutgers' Atheon Kaliakmanis, who backed it up in a recent interview. These moves show Denver's building depth at the position without rushing big swings. After that Jalen Waddle trade, they've got seven picks lined up for the Pittsburgh draft from April 23 to 25, so keep eyes peeled. On how these prospects fit into their long game.
