Broncos 2010 draft class featured plenty of risk, reward and Tim Tebow

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Breaking down one of the riskiest draft moves by the Denver Broncos over the past 25 years:

Round/overall selection: The 2010 draft class featured three of the team's higher-risk picks in Demaryius Thomas (Round 1, No. 22 overall), Tim Tebow (Round 1, No. 25 overall) and Eric Decker (Round 3, No. 87 overall).

Did the moves pay off? Thomas and Decker were coming off foot injuries. Thomas suffered a fracture in a pre-combine workout, and Decker’s senior season at Minnesota had ended with a Lisfranc injury.
