KJ Hamler drafted by Denver Broncos in second round of NFL draft at No. 46 overall

John Elway is loading up the offense for quarterback Drew Lock’s second season.

The Broncos took Penn State wideout K.J. Hamler with their second-round pick at No. 46 overall on Friday. That follows the selection of Alabama wideout Jerry Jeudy with the No. 15 overall pick on Thursday.

The pick comes as somewhat of a surprise, considering other more highly-rated players on the board at positions of need for the Broncos (i.e. center, cornerback). It’s also the first time in Broncos history that they’ve picked wideouts with their first two draft picks.

Hamler had 98 catches for 1,658 yards in two seasons with the Nittany Lions.
