The Denver Broncos reportedly tried to trade up in the 2014 NFL Draft to select linebacker C.J. Mosley of Alabama. There were reports that they tried to trade up in the 2011 NFL Draft for Nick Fairley. In 2012, they were rumored to be candidates to move up for Robert Griffin III.
So apparently, this is the time of year when the Broncos like to leak that they might be interested in trading up.
Mike Klis of the Denver Post says he would be ‘surprised’ if John Elway doesn’t make every effort possible to trade up in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
