2011: Tight ends Julius Thomas (fourth round) and Virgil Green (seventh). Thomas had 24 touchdown catches in 2013-14 and Green played seven years for the Broncos.
Error 0:
2012: Defensive end/tackle Malik Jackson (fifth round) and linebacker Danny Trevathan (sixth). Both were on the 2015 Super Bowl team and signed lucrative contracts with Jacksonville and Chicago, respectively, after leaving Denver.
