Denver Broncos take a gamble on a truly developmental quarterback prospect (Watch)

Rest easy Brock Osweiler, while the Broncos selected a quarterback in the seventh round, I think your job is safe. As for Zac Dysert, I’m not so sure.

With the 250th pick of the NFL Draft, John Elway and the Denver Broncos selected Trevor Siemian, a three-year starter at Northwestern.

7th rd pick Trevor Siemian had a productive career as a quarterback at Northwestern. He has raw talent and we think he will develop nicely.

Siemian was CBSSports 22nd ranked quarterback, which doesn’t sound all that great, but, apparently, the Broncos felt differently.
