Took FB Andy Janovich from Nebraska (6th rd). A tough, hard-nosed player who can block & play special teams. An old-school throwback player.

Connor McGovern, our 5th rd pick from Missouri, is a tough, intelligent & athletic guard. He's also played some tackle.

Picked RB Devontae Booker in 4th rd from Utah. One of the highest rated RBs on our board. Physical, versatile & has great ball skills.

Our 3rd rd pick is Justin Simmons, a big rangy safety from Boston College. He's a center fielder with great cover skills.

#Broncos have best DL coach in business in Bill Kollar. So there's something in Gotsis #Broncos liked. Track record on Dline is strong

We've added DL Adam Gotsis in the 2nd rd from Georgia Tech. Talented athlete w/big upside who has really adapted well to American football.

We’re not done yet!
Ever since the Draft switched to its current 3-day format, I’ve come to appreciate the second and third rounds almost as much as the first. With an overnight break in the action, teams and draft nerds alike have a chance to reset their boards and get ready to pick up some solid contributors, and maybe even a few immediate starters. Day 2 is really the meat and potatoes of the draft. Sure, the champagne and caviar of the first round is fancy and expensive, but tonight is where champions are made.

You gotta love it when things fall into place.
Ever since Brock Osweiler bolted the Broncos for the Texans and a contract that was more than what he may have been worth at that point, John Elway never panicked.
Others would have caved in and given the 49ers and Colin Kaepernick whatever they wanted. Or the Eagles and Sam Bradford whatever they wanted. Or chase after any veteran QB they could find, just to say they had filled the position.
Not Elway. Because that’s not how he plays the game.
