With quarterbacks Dwayne Haskins and Drew Lock and linebacker Devin Bush still on the board, the Broncos opted to trade down from the No. 10 spot in Thursday night’s NFL draft. The Broncos flipped their pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers for Nos. 20 and 52 in this draft and a 2020 third-rounder. The Steelers used the 10th pick to select Bush. The first nine picks of the draft: 1. QB Kyler Murray (Arizona); 2. DE/OLB Nick Bosa (San Francisco); 3. DL Quinnen Williams (New York Jets); 4. DE Clelin Ferrell (Oakland); 5. LB Devin White (Tampa Bay); 6. QB Daniel Jones (New York Giants); 7. DE Josh Allen (Jacksonville); 8. TE T.J. Hockenson (Detroit) and 9. DL Ed Oliver (Buffalo).<doc-sep>Getty Images It took 10 picks to get to the first trade, and the Steelers moved up 10 spots. The Steelers traded up to the No. 10 overall spot to get Michigan linebacker Devin Bush. The Steelers needed to make a move, because their defense hasn’t been the same since Ryan Shazier‘s spinal injury. Bush gives them a playmaker there, and with the steep drop to the next level of players at the position, it necessitated a move. The Broncos got the 20th overall pick, along with the Steelers’ second-rounder (52nd overall) and next year’s third-rounder. Thats a solid haul for a team without a quarterback plan for the future but with plenty of other needs.<doc-sep>How will the Broncos use their picks in the 2019 NFL draft? We’re breaking down every selection. The Broncos will have the No. 10 pick in the 2019 draft after finishing third in the AFC West at 6–10 last season. Denver will ride with a new starting quarterback in 2019 after trading for Joe Flacco in February. Denver selected Bradley Chubb with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2018 draft. The NC State product tallied 12 sacks and 60 tackles, forcing two fumbles. How will the Broncos use their picks in this year's NFL draft? We’re breaking down every selection below, with grades from The MMQB's Andy Benoit. Here's the full list of picks the Broncos hold in the 2019 draft, which will be updated as each selection is made. Round 1, Pick 20 (No. 20 overall): Noah Fant, TE, Iowa Andy Benoit's grade: B- Fant is a revered receiving talent, but he was not asked to block much at Iowa in a system that puts a premium on tight end blocking. What do we make of that? Denver’s incumbent tight end, Jeff Heuerman, is a serviceable starter at best, and you don’t take a player in the first-round with ideas of making him a backup. Fant is here to contribute, but it’s hard to imagine he CAN without becoming a respectable blocker. Heuerman doesn’t inspire a team to employ more two-tight end sets, and with Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton and presumably last year’s fourth-rounder DaeSean Hamilton, the Broncos can feel good about their three-receiver package. As a receiver, Fant is gifted, but some feel his route running needs to be polished. Given that and the questions about his blocking, we could be looking at a No. 2 tight end for 2019, but one with upside. Round 2, Pick 9 (No. 41 overall): Dalton Risner, T, Kansas State Andy Benoit's grade: B+ This is as simple as the Broncos addressing their biggest need, as this interior offensive line was in dire straits in 2018. Connor McGovern has struggled too often in one-on-one scenarios at right guard, while left guard Ronald Leary is coming off an Achilles injury and can be cut in 2020 for $8.5M in cap savings. Either of those men could be replaced, except there is also a vacancy at center, with Matt Paradis now in Carolina. Risner can play anywhere; most likely the team will choose to plug him into their weakest spot. Round 2, Pick 10 (No. 42 overall): Drew Lock, QB, Missouri Andy Benoit's grade: C John Elway had a big arm and that’s what he looks for in a QB. Hence the trade for Joe Flacco and now the trade up to get flamethrower Drew Lock. The question is whether Lock can refine his mechanics and decision-making, which is hard to do after joining the NFL. With Flacco aboard, Lock will be given time. Round 3, Pick 7 (No. 71 overall): Dre'Mont Jones, DT, Ohio State Andy Benoit's grade: B The Broncos have had success finding quality defensive tackles in the early middle rounds. Scouts love Jones’s one-gapping athleticism. Round 5, Pick 18 (No. 156 overall): Justin Hollins, LB, Oregon Round 6, Pick 15 (No. 187 overall): Juwann Winfree, WR, Colorado See every NFL team's 2019 picks by clicking the links below.

In the hours leading up to the 2019 NFL Draft, there was a lot of speculation that the Steelers were thinking about making a dramatic move into the top 10 and that's exactly what they did during the first round on Thursday. In the first trade of the NFL Draft, the Steelers made a huge jump from the 20th spot in the draft to the 10th overall pick to select former Michigan linebacker Devin Bush. The Steelers made the move by pulling off a trade with the Broncos, who picked up multiple picks. Not only will Denver get the Steelers' first-round pick (20th overall), but the Broncos also picked up Pittsburgh's second-round pick (52nd overall) along with a 2020 third round pick. Although there was some speculation that the Broncos might take a quarterback with the 10th overall pick, John Elway took a pass on both Dwayne Haskins and Drew Lock, who were both still available at the time when the Broncos went on the clock with the 10th overall pick. The trade likely means that Elway and the Broncos are more than comfortable going into the 2019 season with Joe Flacco as their starting quarterback. On the Steelers' end, the move made a lot of sense, and that's because going into the draft, the team had a serious need at linebacker. By trading up, not only were the Steelers able to get their guy, but they also jumped in front of the Bengals, who had the 11th overall pick and also had a need at linebacker (The Bengals selected Alabama offensive lineman Jonah Williams). CBS Sports senior NFL writer Pete Prisco liked the move by the Steelers, giving them a 'B' for their pick. The trade by the Steelers marked the first time since the 2006 draft that Pittsburgh moved up during the first round.
