Denver Broncos
23. Missouri OLB Shane Ray
59. Colorado State T/G Ty Sambrailo
92. Ohio State TE Jeff Heuerman
133. Florida C Max Garcia
164. Tulane CB Lorenzo Doss
203. Maryland NT Darius Kilgo
250. Northwestern QB Trevor Siemian
251. Tulane CB Taurean Nixon
252. Oklahoma State SS Josh Furman
Overview: I've seen John Elway billed in some circles as a GM whose team perenially makes the playoffs "because he has Peyton Manning." First of all, Elway deserves applause -- not to be diminished -- for securing Peyton during 2012's league-wide bidding war. Second, Elway has done a masterful job of building one of the NFL's premier rosters, drafting as well as any general manager in football the past several seasons. His 2015 draft was pretty nuts and bolts. Elway went hard after Ray, parting with fifth-round picks in both 2015 and 2016 plus G/C Manuel Ramirez in exchange for a five-spot jump in round one. Sambrailo is a Week 1 starter, and Garcia has an outside shot to be one, as well. A pro-ready blocker and underrated athlete, Heuerman may quietly be Denver's tight end of the future. Kilgo is a worthwhile run-stopping prospect, and Doss profiles as a potential playmaking slot cornerback. My guess is Siemian, Nixon, and likely special teamer Furman won't amount to much. I think this was a solid if unspectacular draft that brought reasonably good value and knocked out a few needs.
