Broncos 2012 draft update

By Dave Brown

The Denver Broncos had a solid draft in 2012, in my opinion, but how many of those picks are on board?

Seven teams have signed all of their draft picks, while five teams have signed no draft picks. The top picks Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III, and Trent Richardson remain unsigned. Brock Osweiler, the Broncos second round pick at #57 overall also remains unsigned, along with two other picks, but the Broncos do have four draft picks under contract.


Rd 2, Pick 4 (36) Wolfe, Derek DT - Signed
Rd 2, Pick 25 (57) Osweiler, Brock QB - Unsigned
Rd 3, Pick 4 (67) Hillman, Ronnie RB - Unsigned
Rd 4, Pick 6 (101) Bolden, Omar CB - Signed
Rd 4, Pick 13 (108) Blake, Philip C - Unsigned
Rd 5, Pick 2 (137) Jackson, Malik DT - Signed
Rd 6, Pick 18 (188) Trevathan, Danny OLB - Signed

Wayne Nunnely is retiring

Wayne Nunnely is retiring after spending the last three seasons as the Denver Broncos defensive line coach. His decision is based on a desire to spend more time with his wife and three children.

"This was not an easy decision, but it was the right one for me and my family," Nunnely said. "At this stage of my life, I want to devote more time to my wife, Velda, and the rest of our family. They have been with me every step of the way through an incredible career that I’ve been so blessed to enjoy. The NFL has a wonderful retirement plan, and it’s time for me to begin the next chapter of my life."

Jay Rodgers, who spent the last three seasons as a defensive assistant with the club now takes over as defensive line coach. Rodgers spent last season working primarily with Nunnely and the defensive line, so he should be ready to step in, and at this point it looks like he was being groomed for the role.
