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.

Just pulling your chain AB. Thanks for doing the contest, helps to pass the time.
Buck I wouldnt say its a contest just something to pass the time and give us regular Joes voice our opinions if we were teams GMs.
Prize? How do you decide who wins???
I left work early AB…I’ll be ready when you are!
I posted the link last page to where the Mock will be done along with the teams that are up for grabs. We gotta wait on BNO14 LAX TRB and VonDoomBronco. We still have a little over half an hour.
Also I would go by who was the most accurate with their picks and would need to be able to do trades.
Also I would go by who was the most accurate with their picks and would need to be able to do trades for a prize. Lol.
I guess most of us are too late for this contest = it ended at 4:00pm today?!?!?! WTF???
What O27C? Do you want part of the blog community mock draft?
AB Can I suggest we keep the pick thread cleaner? People can add their pick to the post then put comments etc in a separate post. Pics will go faster and it will be easier to modify.
Example: The first post would be from you…
2012 NFL Draft
1. Colts:
The next Post would be filled in by the Colts as such:
2012 NFL Draft
1. Colts: Andrew Luck
2. Redskins:
And so on…thoughts??
O27C you meant the Picks for Denver for the Football signed by the drafts class lol my bad.
Mike I like it. Still would need a reason/description though.
We can go with the first pick looking like the following
#1 Team Player Position School
Reason
#2 Team
Then Pick 2 would look
#2 Team Player Position School
Reason
#3 Team
#1 Team Player Position School.
And so on and so forth.
Lax has entered the Radio City Music Hall.
Yeah…need the position and school but still think the reason for picking could make it messy and harder to read. Put that in a followup post so people can see your pick faster…… But it’s your ballgame and I’m a team player!
I’ll shut up now!
Lol nice entrance LAX lol.
LAX now that your here. If you get the West would you be willing to take the Redskins and Falcons? Since the Raiders dont have a 1st or 2nd and the Skins have a 1st while Falcons have a 2nd?
LAX!! LMAO
Ahh ok Mike I get it now. Yeah thats fine. Posting just the pick then in a follow up post you can type up your reason.
Indeed I would sir
I can handle a few more teams…
And thank you I try to make an impression!
Who’s roger goodell so I can begin the proceedings by voicing my displeasure with this individual! lol
AB IS GOODELL!
Ok Mike.
Buccs and Panthers are available from the NFC South.
Cowboys Giants are available.
Im thinking about taking the Eagles but if someone else wants them they can take them.
Also if BNO14 is unable to participate the AFC South is available.
I know the NFC east better than the south. But whatever you need.
alaskanbronco06,
Yeah I’m too late for the Football! LOL
LAX If BNO14 doesnt show up in the next 10 to 15 minutes then the AFC West plus Redskins and Falcons are yours.
I would not win this year anyway! I think the Broncos will be active and moving if they are able!
Mike do you want the Cowboys and/or Eagles and/or Giants?
Idk I’m already here…. so I motion the commisioner to award the AFC West at this moment!
Boys and Eagles is fine
Ok Mike I have you marked down for the Boys and the Eagles.
Oh BTW last year the Broncos entertained trading for Osi Umenyiora… Could that trade come into reality come draft time? I think so!
Sine Mike took the Eagles lol ill take the Panthers.
LAX I hope not!! Osi wants star money.
Psh too bad he ain’t getting that anytime soon
Ok it is now 10 minutes till 6 pm blog time.
Here is the link to where the mock will take place.

I pick 14, 15 and 16…you guys get a smoke break I guess!
Lol Mike i didnt even think about that lol
Just waiting to see if TRB VonDoom and BNO14 show up. Ill give them a bout 10 minutes.
Double O is wise! Worry not my friend!
LAX The West is yours with the Redskins and Falcons.
If TRB VonDoom and BNO14 dont show up then theres three divisions to be grabbed.
Buccs and Giants are still available.
Good to go millertime2!
And lol the contest ending at 4…got my entry in with minutes to spare!!!!
Heck they only gave the blog 1 hour and 20 minutes notice,if you didn’t already have a twitter account you had very little time to do the football contest,sorry 027C that you didn’t get to enter for the football bro!

For anyone interest the blog community mock draft has started. Finally! lol
im not doing it. ive got to go. sorry im just now telling you
I guess I’m too late to win that football, but it’s pretty cool to see the blog do a contest for us! Keep ‘em coming, but give us a little more heads up next time!
Well, here are my picks.. I haven’t seen one mock with us take Mercilus, and while he might be a one year wonder, and even with some saying he’s better suited for the 3-4, you simply can’t argue with 16 sacks and 9 forced fumbles last year…..
#25 – first selection
a) Whitney Mercilus; DE/OLB
b) Doug Martin; RB
c) Chandler Jones; DE
#57 – second selection
a) Brandon Thompson; DT
b) Vinny Curry; DE
c) Zach Brown; OLB
#87 – third selection
a) Casey Hayward; CB
b) Billy Winn; DE/DT
c) Isaiah Pead; RB
#108 – fourth selection
a) Robert Turbin; RB
b) Chase Minnifield; CB
c) James-Michael Johnson; MLB
I may have over done it with the pass rushers… Lol. All I want is one and I’ll be happy!
You’re entered OrangeTsunami!
3 more hours left to submit entries!
Thx sndvl. Figured I’d go out on a limb and roll the dice with Mercilus. I can’t wait for tomorrow!
