The Broncos, in a move that completely upended most pre-draft logic, took neither back. Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron, who stole Payton and general manager George Paton’s eyes on film, came in. Hampton went two picks later to the Chargers, Denver’s foe in the AFC West. Henderson stayed on the board. And Denver seemed wholly unconcerned.

The Denver Broncos are heading into the NFL Draft with seven picks this year. That includes No. 20 overall, but there were some rumors in the days leading up to the Thursday -- the first night of the draft -- that they might try to trade up.
