ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway ended the second day of the draft in mic-drop style, saying, “I like to be good, but I also like to be lucky,” as he walked off the stage at his post-draft press conference.
And for good reason, too.
The Broncos started the second day of the draft scheduled to wait 18 picks until their first selection at No. 51 overall. They had a dilemma, though. They didn’t want to miss out on one of the top players on their board, defensive end DeMarcus Walker, so they attempted to make multiple moves to go up the draft board and get him.
