Denver Broncos 2018 NFL Draft tracker, player highlights
Denver Broncos 2018 NFL Draft tracker and player highlights. How will John Elway fill out the roster and get his team back into AFC West contention?
There’s never a dull moment in the offseason when it comes to the Denver Broncos.
John Elway went out and agreed to a contract with Case Keenum as soon as the legal negotiating period opened up in March, filling the team’s most pressing need.
Keenum’s presence in the locker room has already reignited a flame that had been missing around the Denver Broncos’ facility since Peyton Manning left the building before the 2016 season.
The Broncos were happy to ride the coattails of their unbelievable success in 2015 for a season, but the 2017 season was flat out unacceptable with a 5-11 finish and one of the worst seasons in team history.
Despite the shortcomings of 2017, the Broncos and Elway stuck it out with head coach Vance Joseph, and are hoping the newfound leadership in the locker room among the players can help get this team back to its winning ways.
Gone are Super Bowl 50 players like Aqib Talib and C.J. Anderson, but the Broncos have brought in some intriguing pieces to fill out their roster in free agency and have set themselves up well for pretty much anything they want in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Here’s a quick recap of the Broncos’ offseason moves, and a tracker of every pick they make in the 2018 NFL Draft:
