DENVER — Many thought the Denver Broncos would make a trade or two on Friday night of the NFL Draft, given how many selections the team had in the third round. 

That didn't happen. 

So while dreams were dashed of moving up the board, GM John Elway was able to add a lot of depth to his team with three selections in an 18-pick span. 

Here are 9 fast facts about the newest members of the Broncos, cornerback Michael Ojemudia (Iowa), center Lloyd Cushenberry III (LSU) and defensive lineman McTelvin Agim (Arkansas).
