Pick No. 40: Courtland Sutton**

We had a 1st-round grade on SMU WR Courtland Sutton and we're excited to select him at No. 40.

He has tremendous upside as a player and on top of that is a great person. pic.twitter.com/qXiRMGg82A

Fellow former SMU Mustang Emmanuel Sanders was thrilled to welcome Sutton to the squad, especially after working out with him in March.

Congrats & welcome to my bro @SuttonCourtland. Last month we put in work together at @SMU_Football & joked about how lethal we’d be together. #InElwayWeTrust pic.twitter.com/iIy3BxdVUk

Pick No. 71: Royce Freeman

The tough running back from Oregon also got a tweet from Elway, who anticipated how well Freeman will fit in the group of running backs.

Royce Freeman had a tremendous career at Oregon and is our 3rd round pick. He's a big, physical runner who will fit in well in our backfield. pic.twitter.com/Cqq11cdVTL

Pick No. 99: Isaac Yiadom

Excited for Day 3 today.

Our final pick of Day 2 was CB Isaac Yiadom from BC. We got to know him at the Senior Bowl and really liked his competitiveness, size and physical style of play. pic.twitter.com/Wm0jVOgVPj

Yiadom joins the Broncos already quite familiar with one Bronco. That would be Justin Simmons, who was Yiadom's teammate at Boston College. And the man who announced the pick gave him another shoutout on Twitter.

Ike, what up?!

Remember his name! Isaac will be making plays for the Orange & Blue! pic.twitter.com/zy5d89R4XJ

After a busy second night, Chris Harris Jr.'s tweet summed up the evening after the Broncos secured some top talent.

Elway killing the draft lol
