The Denver Broncos traded their 10th overall NFL draft pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday evening. In exchange for the pick, the Steelers sent the Broncos their first-round pick (20th overall) second-round pick (52nd overall) and a third-round pick in 2020.
With the 10th overall pick, Pittsburgh selected Michigan inside linebacker Devin Bush. Bush (5-11, 234 pounds) was widely considered the second-best inside linebacker in this year’s class behind LSU’s Devin White (who was selected with the No. 5 pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers).
Bush ran a 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds and bench-pressed 225 pounds 21 times at the combine earlier this offseason. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has compared Bush to Stephen Tulloch, who was a fourth-round pick in the 2006 NFL draft.
After using the 20th pick, Denver is scheduled to make three more selections on Friday: Nos. 41 and 52 in the second round and No. 71 in the third round. The team now has nine total selections this year.
