Twitter reacts to Broncos selecting Drew Lock and Dalton Risner in NFL draft

Thanks to a trade, the Denver Broncos made back-to-back selections in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft on Friday evening: Nos. 41 and 42. With those picks, the Broncos drafted offensive lineman Dalton Risner and quarterback Drew Lock.

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter reacted to the two selections:

So John Elway gets Noah Fant, Dalton Risner and Drew Lock in the top 42 picks.

I'd say that's a decent haul.

Risner, Lock, and Fant…that O getting some talent… #Broncos

I don't think the Broncos ever planned on taking a QB in the first round. Still a bit gun shy after Paxton Lynch. You miss on a 1st-round QB, it really hurts your franchise. You have more leeway and time for growth with a 2nd-rounder.

Michael Porter Jr. and Drew Lock in Denver. So much Mizzou.

The @Broncos have absolutely dominated these rounds. They got 3 high valued players that they wanted. Nobody thought Drew Lock would drop to 42. Risner was the expectation at 41. So far, damn good draft. #BroncosCountry

Drew Lock will be Joe Flacco’s backup by the way. #9sports

This will be the pick that defines Elway's post Manning career. No doubt about that.

It is not yet clear what the Broncos traded to move up in the second round to select Lock. We will have another post about the team’s updated after order once the details of the trade become known.
