<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.milehighreport.com/">Denver Broncos</a> used their final pick in the 2012 NFL Draft on Kentucky linebacker <span>Danny Trevathan</span>. The pick was included as compensation in the trade that sent former quarterback <span>Tim Tebow</span> to the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.ganggreennation.com/">New York Jets</a>. Trevathan is expected to compete on special teams and add depth to a Denver defense that looked destructive for stretches last season.</p>
