Summarize and humanize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in EnglishWith the 2025 NFL draft just over one week away, The Athletic’s Dane Brugler has released a seven-round mock draft with predictions for all 257 picks.Before the Broncos go on the clock at pick No. 20, Brugler has Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty going off the board to the Jacksonville Jaguars at pick No. 5.He later has Penn State tight end Tyler Warren landing with the Chicago Bears (No. 10) and Michigan tight end Colston Loveland going to the Indianapolis Colts (No. 14). That leaves UNC running back Omarion Hampton to fall to Denver.”With his blend of patience, power and speed, the former Tar Heels back would help elevate Sean Payton’s offense,” Brugler wrote of Hampton.Things get interesting in the second round when Brugler has the Broncos picking Oregon edge defender Jordan Burch at No. 51. You can never have too many pass rushers, but Burch would be a somewhat surprising pick at that spot.In the third round, Denver picks up Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson (love it), a prospect who feels like he was born to play for the Broncos. Up next in the fourth round is Virginia Tech defensive lineman Aeneas Peebles, who had eight sacks in his final two college seasons.The Broncos then wrap up the sixth round with a trio of picks: Boston College interior offensive lineman Drew Kendall, Miami wide receiver Xavier Restrepo and California cornerback Marcus Harris.The biggest complaint with this mock draft is Denver waiting until late in the draft to add a wide receiver. Brugler has the team passing on Utah State’s Jalen Royals, Mississippi’s Tre Harris, TCU’s Jack Bech, CSU’s Tory Horton and Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor, among others.Dane Brugler’s Broncos mock draftRound 1: Omarion Hampton, RB, North CarolinaRound 2: Jordan Burch, Edge, OregonRound 3: Terrance Ferguson, TE, OregonRound 4: Aeneas Peebles, DL, Virginia TechRound 6: Drew Kendall, IOL, Boston CollegeRound 6: Xavier Restrepo, WR, MiamiRound 6: Marcus Harris, CB, CaliforniaThe 2025 NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26.
