Denver Broncos surprisingly select Albert Okwuegbunam in the fourth

Through the first part of the final day of the NFL draft, nobody can say that John Elway and the Denver Broncos aren't trying to make the Drew Lock era work. After doubling down on wide receivers in rounds one and two, and selecting a potential day one starter at center in Lloyd Cushenberry in the third, the Denver Broncos added Lock's old throwing target, Missouri's Albert Okwuegbunam.

On the surface, this is a puzzling pick given Denver's needs at other positions and the fact that they have invested heavily in the tight end position in the last five years.
