After looking at the best recent draft picks for teams that currently occupy the first nine selections of April’s draft, it’s time to look at the Broncos who have the tenth pick. Charles Davis of NFL.com has them selecting linebacker Devin White out of LSU with that pick.
The Broncos made the Super Bowl in the 2013 (lost) and 2015 (won) seasons, and both of these teams had draft picks that played a large role. Some of those are featured on this list.
Note: Only time with the Broncos was considered for the list. Where they were drafted makes a difference - meaning this isn’t exactly a top-ten players drafted by Denver since 2000 list. Someone like Bradley Chubb will eventually deserve to be on this list after a couple more solid seasons. Some late-round picks who didn’t quite make the list but had solid careers with the team include Ben Hamilton (fourth round, 2001), Chris Kuper (fifth round, 2006), Julius Thomas (fourth round, 2011), Malik Jackson (fifth round, 2012), Danny Trevathan (sixth round, 2012), and Matt Paradis (sixth round, 2014).
Von Miller, LB - 1st round, 2nd overall (2011); time with Broncos: 2011-present
It has been a historic career, already, for Miller who won Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2011 and was named Super Bowl 50 MVP. In eight years, he has made seven Pro Bowls, been named a First Team All-Pro three times, and recorded 98 sacks. According to the Denver Post, actor can also be added to his resume as he will voice a character in "Mars Martians."
Elvis Dumervil, DE - 4th round, 126th overall (2006); time with Broncos: 2006-2012
While he missed the entire 2010 season, Dumervil had 63.5 sacks in his other six years with Denver. He led the league with 17 in 2009 and reached double figures two other times.
Ryan Clady, OT - 1st round, 12th overall (2008); time with Broncos: 2008-2014
Clady started all 16 games at left tackle for the Broncos in six of his seven years with the team. Three times he was invited to the Pro Bowl and he was a First Team All-Pro in 2012.
Demaryius Thomas, WR - 1st round, 22nd overall (2010); time with Broncos: 2010-2018
In Broncos history, Thomas ranks second in both receiving yards (9,055) and receiving touchdowns (60) while sitting third in franchise history with 665 catches. He had five straight seasons with 1,000+ receiving yards from 2012-2016.
Brandon Marshall, WR - 4th round, 119th overall (2006); time with Broncos: 2006-2009
As a fourth round pick, Marshall put together excellent value in his four years with Denver. In each of the last three, he finished with more than 100 receptions while also totaling 3,710 yards and 23 touchdowns in those three seasons.
Clinton Portis, RB - 2nd round, 51st overall (2002); time with Broncos: 2002-2003
Yes, Portis did only play two seasons with Denver. When you see his numbers in those two years, though, it's easy to understand why he is placed here. The 2002 Offensive Rookie of the Year was extraordinary running for 3,099 yards and 29 touchdowns during his Broncos tenure.
Eric Decker, WR - 3rd round, 87th overall (2010); time with Broncos: 2010-2013
His last two years with Denver is what allows Decker to be on this list. In 2012-2013, he caught a total of 172 passes for 2,352 yards and 24 touchdowns.
Mike Anderson, RB - 6th round, 189th overall (2000); time with Broncos: 2000-2005
It isn't often that a sixth round pick is named Offensive Rookie of the Year as Anderson was in 2000. He ran for 1,487 yards and 15 touchdowns that season and also ran for another 1,014 with 12 touchdowns in 2005.
Zane Beadles, G - 2nd round, 45th overall (2010); time with Broncos: 2010-2013
Beadles played all 64 of his team's games and started 62 of them while he was with the Broncos. The left guard was a Pro Bowl representative in the 2012 season.
Ben Hamilton, G - 4th round, 113th overall (2001); time with Broncos: 2001-2009
Altogether, Hamilton made 104 starts along the offensive line for Denver. He started all 16 games in six different seasons for the team.
