According to NBC Sports Washington’s J.P. Finlay, the Denver Broncos had a first-round grade on Su’a Cravens prior to the 2016 NFL Draft.
Denver had 1st round grade on Cravens prior to 2016 draft. Broncos hold two 3rd round picks, two 4th round picks and two 5th round picks in 2018 Draft.. Plenty of chances to make deal.

As we know, the Broncos ended up trading a third-round pick to move up to select quarterback Paxton Lynch, so they never really had a chance to select him in the first-round.
