Editor's note: Draft picks made prior to 1967 and the first AFL-NFL common draft are not designated with an overall pick number in the Denver Broncos media guide; as such, the overall selection numbers for players drafted in these years are pulled from Pro Football Reference. Also, the 1960 AFL Draft did not include a numerical order for the overall player selections.
