By drafting receivers with his first- and second-round picks last week, Broncos general manager John Elway moved aggressively to fix an offense that finished no better than 22nd in scoring each of the past four seasons.
It was also an almost unprecedented approach in trying to surround quarterback Drew Lock with needed talent.
The selections of Jerry Jeudy (15th overall) and KJ Hamler (46th) marked only the third time since 1970 an NFL team used its lone first- and second-round picks on receivers, joining the 1996 New York Jets (Keyshawn Johnson and Alex Van Dyke) and 1981 Cincinnati Bengals (David Verser and Cris Collinsworth), according to Pro Football Reference draft archives.
