The Redskins listened to trade offers for left tackle Trent Williams during the draft and ultimately decided to trade him to the 49ers in exchange for third- and fifth-round draft picks.
During a post-draft Zoom conference call with reporters, Broncos general manager John Elway said Denver needs “to get better” at left tackle but did not talk with Washington about potentially trading for Williams.
“No, we did not talk to them,” Elway said. “We had heard what was going on, but we also had heard what the compensation was.
“I think Tampa was in on it, Cleveland, several other teams were in on it, but where the compensation was, we didn’t feel like it was something that we wanted to get involved in.”
The Broncos also didn’t draft a tackle so as of now, Garett Bolles and Elijah Wilkinson are set to compete for the team’s starting left tackle job.
