MOBILE, ALA. – Broncos general manager John Elway was busy during last year’s draft, making a trade in six of the seven rounds, toggling that allowed him to select tight end Noah Fant, left guard Dalton Risner and quarterback Drew Lock (good) and acquire quarterback Joe Flacco and linebacker Dekoda Watson (didn’t work out).
Elway could be similarly active this year.
The Broncos currently have nine picks — one each in rounds 1-2 and 6-7, three third-round selections and two fourth-round picks.
Earlier this month, the industry website Over The Cap projected three compensatory selections for the Broncos: A fifth-rounder (guard Billy Turner signing with Green Bay) and two sevenths (guard Max Garcia and cornerback Tramaine Brock both signed with Arizona).
