Omar Bolden, a fourth-round (101st overall pick) selection in the 2012 NFL Draft, has signed his rookie contract with the Denver Broncos. He is the first draft pick to sign with the Broncos so far.
Bolden missed the entire 2011 campaign due to an ACL injury, but he was an All-American in 2010. While he will receive playing time as a cornerback, we could expect him to act as a kick returner and in other roles on special teams.
With the current collective bargaining agreement, rookie contract are pretty much set in stone. The rest of the draft picks should be quick in signing.
Here is a complete list of 2012 Broncos draft picks:

The Denver Broncos opened their Day 3 of the 2012 NFL Draft with Arizona St. Sun Devils cornerback Omar Bolden. He is the second Arizona St. player the Broncos have taken this year, the other being quarterback Brock Osweiler. Bolden missed the entire 2011 season due to a torn ACL.
Bolden, provided he is fully healthy, provides depth at cornerback behind Champ Bailey and Tracy Porter while also giving the team an option at kick returner following the departure of Eddie Royal this offseason.
The Broncos make their next selection at No. 108 overall, which then leaves the team with two draft picks left for the day.
Here are the other Broncos picks so far:
Cincinnati DT Derek Wolfe
Arizona St. QB Brock Osweiler
San Diego St. RB Ronnie Hillman
