Social media engagement is certainly an important avenue for every professional team in 2016, and Denver Broncos President John Elway is taking it to a new level during the NFL draft.
The Hall of Famer is tweeting out a description of every pick the Broncos make just seconds after the selection is announced.
It started in the first round after the club traded up to draft Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch.
We're thrilled that Paxton Lynch is going to be a Bronco. He fits what we do very well and plays the game with a lot of enthusiasm.

Elway admits the cover skills of Justin Simmons were the reason for the third-round selection.
Our 3rd rd pick is Justin Simmons, a big rangy safety from Boston College. He's a center fielder with great cover skills.

The Broncos snagged some value with highly ranked running back Devontae Booker in the fourth round.
Picked RB Devontae Booker in 4th rd from Utah. One of the highest rated RBs on our board. Physical, versatile & has great ball skills.

Connor McGovern is an absolute mauler on the offensive line that will help the run game for Gary Kubiak.
Connor McGovern, our 5th rd pick from Missouri, is a tough, intelligent & athletic guard. He's also played some tackle.

Special teams was addressed in the sixth-round selection of Nebraska's Andy Janovich.
Took FB Andy Janovich from Nebraska (6th rd). A tough, hard-nosed player who can block & play special teams. An old-school throwback player.
