Want to win a football autographed by the Broncos’ 2012 Draft Class?
Elway announced the contest via his Twitter account this morning after the Broncos’ front office wrapped up its draft preparations.
The fan that guesses the most Broncos draft choices in the 2012 draft will win that prize. To enter, tweet your picks using #BroncosPicks. To be eligible for the prize, all of the guesses must be submitted via one tweet. In the event of a tie, whoever submits the tweet first will be the winner.
Last names of draftees are fine, and the order they are listed in does not matter. You can guess as many names as you can fit in one tweet, but remember, the Broncos are scheduled to draft seven players.
We know that many of you have posted your own predictions in the comment section of blogs, but to be eligible for this prize, be sure to submit them on Twitter using #BroncosPicks.
Below is a sample tweet:
Luck, Griffin III, Claiborne, Richardson, Kalil, Blackmon, Cox #BroncosPicks
For the record, that tweet contains Mel Kiper, Jr.’s first seven players off the board in his mock draft, and takes up just 76 characters out of a possible 140.
Be sure to follow the Denver Broncos and John Elway on Twitter for more draft and team coverage.
UPDATE: The Contest will end at 4 p.m. MT on Wednesday, April 25.

Alright sndvl. Yea its late notice. Ive been meaning to set it up but always got to busy and jst decided to go with it last night.
BFE How bout you? You interested?
sndvl, they have taken notice of our mocks. that is pretty cool.
*your
In this twitter thing, can you pick as many players as you want to as long as its 140 characters??
CB I think so.
in Mike Mayock’s one and only mock, he has the browns taking Justin Blackmon with the 4th and Doug Martin with the 22nd. He has us taking Dontari Poe at 25
it has us passing on Donta Hightower as well
BFE just go to Twitter, and give them your email and make a name up and bop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-zoom-bam-boom!!!
I already made my picks so I might be the first ballot cast, meaning I have the edge on any tiebreakers!!!! ha!
I had to leave off a couple guys with long names so I could fit more guys in my Tweet….

Pretty cool that they are doing this.

Great Idea. And a great use of twitter. Hats off to the FO and The PR staff (as it wouldn’t shock me if they thought this off). Expect my draft selection from @_InfiniteReach_ (PICK ME) lol
later days, TRB

Bwaaaaahahahahaha!!!!!!
The Football is MINE!!!!!
Got you down Lonewolf7!
And I have been back tracking all the older blog entries. Lol!!!
I guess I already had a twitter account! Who knew?!?!?!!!
No prob OC on finding bucks mock draft. You have a good one and haven’t seen anyone else with Ronnie Hilman on there – good pick !!
Darn – need to look into setting up a twitter account!!
2 hours left before the Blog community mock draft.
If your interested theres 1 hour left before I split up the remaining divisions.
NFC East and South are still available.
AFC West has two (LAX and BNO14) going for it.
AFC South is BNO14 division if he doesnt get the West.
Someone needs to pick up those divisions!!!!
Stuart,
This is the first time I can recall a “Predict the Picks and Win” for us, the fans.
Thanks so much for thinking of us and reading the blogs knowing most of us die hards love tracking and seeing who the newest member of the Broncos family will be !! Always lots of excitement! What a way to get it started with an autographed football!!! Thanks again!!
GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!
Mike agreed! At least one person to take the NFC East.
Im think that whoever gets the AFC West can take the NFC South as well. IF they are ok with that. Since the Raiders and Saints dont have a 1st or 2nd and the Falcons dont have a 1st.
what time does the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft start? I have looked and looked. It does not show up on NFL.com anywhere. In Pacific Daylight Savings Time please
It starts 8 pm tomorrow night. 25 and a half hours from now.
ab, id be fine with taking two divisions. If LAX does win and doesnt want the NFC South, i will do it if i can do the draft
AB: Still not understanding how we post picks….we write the previous pick, our pick and who is on the clock?
Maybe we copy and paste prior pics then add our pick???
Mike here you go hope this help random picks and all that
With the 4th pick of round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft the:
Atlanta Falcons Select James Johnson ILB from San Diego State
Blah blah blah small paragraph for description/reasons for pick
The Baltimore Ravens are now on the clock
Round 1 Pick 3 Mr T OT Harvard
Round 1 Pick 2 Shaq DT Miami
Round 1 Pick 1 John Elway Stanford
Mike all you have to do is copy the previous selections from the last pick and paste it at the end of yours.
Gotcha!
Test:
With the 5th pick of round 1 of the 2012 NFL Draft the:
Baltimore Ravens Select Poop Sandwich DE from Sundusky All Girls Academy
Blah blah blah small paragraph for description/reasons for pick
The Tampa Bay Bucs are now on the clock
Round 1 Pick 4 James Johnson ILB San Diego State
Round 1 Pick 3 Mr T OT Harvard
Round 1 Pick 2 Shaq DT Miami
Round 1 Pick 1 John Elway Stanford
Mike thats exactly how it goes. I forgot to add QB by John Elway lol but thats not a big deal. Thats to help make sure there isnt any double selections.
Mike Mayock has the Broncos selecting DT Dontari Poe with the 25th pick!!
He has Mike Martin going at #22 to the Browns.
Rumors: Broncos have talked to the Jacksonville Jaguars about trading up in the first round
Sorry – Doug Martin at #22 to Browns.
AB, where are u posting your draft?
Buck are you talking about the community mock draft?
If so heres the link for where its going to happen at
http://blog.denverbroncos.com/denverbroncos/rice-takes-previewing-qbs-and-dbs/#comments
Doesnt start till 6 pm blog time. An Hour away.
No one took the divisions that remain so
Buccaneers Panthers Falcons Cowboys Eagles Giants and Redskins are available.
Since Falcons have a 2nd only and Redskins only have #2. Whoever gets the AFC West, do you mind taken both them to make up for the Raiders?
If BNO14 cant partake the the AFC South teams will be available thats also if he doesnt get the AFC West.
