MHR\u2019s Feed<\/a>.<\/p>\nBroncos draft historyMaybe we should trade out of the 30 spot\u2026<\/p>\n
For today\u2019s history review, I decided to look at who the Broncos have drafted with the 30th overall pick in their draft history. Surprisingly, they only have two in their entire franchise history. One in the first round and the other at the front end of the second round. Let\u2019s take a look at these two picks.<\/p>\n
1991: Round 2, Pick 30: Tight End Reggie Johnson<\/p>\n
I was neck deep into Denver Broncos football by 1991. I had already endured multiple humiliating defeats as a fan living in northern California and I made it past the San Francisco 49ers debacle in tact. That said, I literally have never heard of this guy before today. He played in Denver for three seasons before moving on to other teams to round out a 7-year NFL career. Not a bad deal for most draft picks. His best season with Denver was in 1993 when he caught 20 passes for 243 yards and a touchdown. I supposed I was all about Shannon Sharpe by then too.<\/p>\n

1998: Round 1, Pick 30: Wide Receiver Marcus Nash<\/p>\n
Whew, there were early signs Mike Shanahan wasn\u2019t going to be a great drafting coach. Nash would have been the first sign. He totaled just 4 catches for 76 yards in his short NFL career. Though he may have been a first-round bust, he did secure a Super Bowl championship with the Baltimore Ravens in his final season.<\/p>\n
After looking over those two 30th picks, I sure hope Denver breaks the trend with that pick here in 2026. Or maybe a good trade back might make some sense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We are officially moving into NFL Draft mode on Mile High Report.
