John Elway's name is all over Broncos' long draft history
BEST FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICK: John Elway’s first draft pick was his best: Texas A&M LB Von Miller with the second overall selection in 2011, one spot behind Cam Newton. Five years later, the two squared off in Super Bowl 50, where Miller got the best of Carolina’s QB with a pair of sacks that led to TDs in Denver’s 24-10 win. Miller parlayed his MVP performance into a record-breaking contract and Newton has never been the same. (Also noteworthy: Syracuse RB Floyd Little in 1967, Arkansas S Steve Atwater in 1989, Boise State LT Ryan Clady in 2008).
