The NFL draft season is in full swing. The East-West Shrine Bowl will be played on Saturday, Jan. 18, in St. Petersburg, Florida and that will be followed by Senior Bowl week in Mobile, Alabama, with the game being played on Jan. 25.

John Elway, the man that is in charge of the Denver Broncos draft room, participated in the Shrine Bowl and understands the importance of the game. Steve Atwater, one of the best players to ever put on a Broncos uniform also participated in the game.

In the last two drafts, Elway has drafted two players that participated in the Shrine Bowl. In 2018 he drafted DaeSean Hamilton in the fourth round. It’s also worth noting that Phillip Lindsay participated in the the game that year. This past year Elway drafted Justin Hollins in the fifth round.

Will Elway make it three years in a row by drafting a player that participated in the East-West Shrine Bowl? We spoke with Dane Brugler of The Athletic about seven players who may interest Elway.

1. Calvin Throckmorton, OL, Oregon

Throckmorton can play anywhere along the offensive line. He has starts at tackle, guard and center. Brugler said that Throckmorton’s greatest asset is his versatility.

“He has experience at tackle, guard and center and did pretty interchangeably for the Ducks,” Brugler said. “With his lack of length, scouts see him as an NFL guard. I have some questions about his quickness to reach linemen, but he gets after it and has the POA strength and toughness that stands out.”
