Denver Broncos | News Sacco Sez: Former Broncos exec. John Beake recalls the 1983 draft and the trade for John Elway Apr 24, 2021 at 10:00 AM Copied!
Draftmania is once again upon the National Football League and its 32 member clubs.
And with that, there is the question of whether the Denver Broncos will hold on to the No. 9 pick, trade up or trade down.
And with that, will they acquire a quarterback as part of the process?
The unquestioned best draft trade ever executed by the Broncos came in 1983, one week after the draft had ended, when the Broncos traded their first-round selection (offensive lineman Chris Hinton), their 1984 first-round pick and reserve quarterback Mark Herrmann to the Baltimore Colts for quarterback John Elway.
