One prospect that may appeal to the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft is Cincinnati linebacker Jake Golday, who stands at 6-4 and weighs 239 pounds. Ranked as the fourth-best linebacker and 42nd overall by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, Golday recorded 163 tackles and 5 sacks over two seasons, earning First-Team All-Big 12 honors. Though he has room for development, particularly in coverage, his size, speed, and explosive playmaking ability make him a strong candidate to bolster the Broncos’ linebacker corps. If available at the 62nd pick, Golday could provide immediate depth and long-term potential behind veterans Alex Singleton and Justin Strnad.
