The NFL announced its compensatory picks for the 2018 NFL Draft and the Denver Broncos were one of 15 clubs to be awarded one of those picks. The Broncos only received one, but it was a good one in the third round.
The compensatory pick was the result of the 4-year, $53 million deal offensive tackle Russell Okung signed with the Los Angeles Chargers last year. Okung had a good season with the Chargers, but the Broncos will take that third round compensatory pick and try to use it to revamp its roster this April.
