Broncos trade up to end Troy Franklin's slide

The Denver Broncos traded up to select Oregon wide receiver Troy Franklin in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft with the No. 102 pick.

The Broncos swung a deal with the Seattle Seahawks to get picks No. 102 and 235 in exchange for the No. 121, 136, and 207 selections.

Franklin will be reunited with former Oregon teammate Bo Nix. Denver drafted the quarterback in the first round.

Franklin broke out in 2023, catching 81 passes for 1,383 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Pre-draft profile

Franklin is one of the most well-balanced wide receivers in this class' second tier. A strong route-runner who can open cornerbacks up with ease, Franklin excels from the release through the stem. He's not just a good route-runner, though, as he also possesses the speed to be a dangerous deep threat. His only concerns come down to his thin frame and a few consistency issues with drops, but there's a good chance that Franklin will carve out a solid NFL career.
