2. Maurice Clarett, RB, Ohio State, 2005 Third round, No. 101 overall: A freshman sensation for the national champion Buckeyes, Clarett sat out a year after he was declared ineligible for NFL draft and was badly out of shape upon his re-entry. He missed most of rookie training camp with a strained hamstring and was released. He later served prison time. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik) ( Clarett Comeback Football )

3. Tommy Maddox, QB, UCLA, 1992 First round, No. 25 overall: The Dan Reeves-John Elway feud reached its crescendo with this curious choice. Elway was far from finished. Maddox was 0-4 lifetime with the Broncos, although he did enjoy a weird career renaissance in the XFL in 2001 — nine years after he was drafted. (Otto Greule/Allsport) ( 7801006P UCLA V CALIFORNIA )

4.Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest Second round, No. 37 overall: The bad part of this deal is the Broncos traded their first-round pick in the 2010 draft to move up in the second round and take Smith. That first-round pick by Seattle turned out to be safety Earl Thomas III. Smith played sparingly as a rookie and was traded to Detroit before he would have been cut in his second season.

5. Marcus Nash, WR, Tennessee, 1998 First round, No. 30 overall: The slide from back-to-back Super Bowl championships began with a drafting slump. Nash had just four catches as a rookie; none in two games in his second season when he was traded to Miami. (Jed Jacobsohn/ Getty Images) ( 201167P TENNESSEE V UCLA )

6. Philip Blake, C, Baylor, 2012 Fourth round, No. 108 overall: He turned 27 in his rookie year. Never came close to playing for Broncos. (AP Photo/Michael Conroy) ( NFL Combine Football )

7. Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida, 2007 First round, No. 17 overall: Moss was only 250 pounds on a 6-foot-7 frame, and offensive tackles mauled him. Had just 3 ½ sacks in 3 ½ seasons with the Broncos. (Joe Amon/ The Denver Post) ( Broncos_ Jaguars_jaDSC_5558 )

8. Terry Pierce, LB, Kansas State, 2003 Second round, No. 51 overall: Pierce had eight tackles and no starts through his first two seasons. He was cut before his third season and never played again. (Donald Miralle/Allsport) ( 0301687P KANSAS ST V USC PALMER )

9. Bobby Anderson, RB, Colorado, 1970 First round, No. 11 overall: Hate to put the local hero on this list, but in four seasons with the Broncos, Anderson rushed for 368, 533, 319 and 61 yards.(The Denver Post Archive) ( image0000324A )

10. Willie Middlebrooks, CB, Minnesota, 2001 First round, No. 24 overall: Middlebrooks was a backup for four seasons with no interceptions and two starts before he was traded to San Francisco for defensive end John Engelberger. (Hyoung Chang/ The Denver Post) ( BRONCOS )
