"Bringing back the classic uniforms celebrating the 1977 team and the Orange Crush defense is just a great honor to us who played during that era," Hall of Famer Randy Gradishar said.

Another veteran defender has joined the Broncos' roster.

The design process for the team's first new uniforms since 1997 may be just as impressive as the finalized threads.

The Orange uniform and Legacy Blue "D" helmet pays tribute to the Orange Crush era and specifically the 1977 season when the Broncos made their first Super Bowl appearance.

The Broncos' new threads have officially arrived.

This time, we're picking Denver's top draft pick from each of the Broncos' six-plus decades in the organization's history.

"I think the simple message [to the team] on Monday was, 'That's what we're doing right now,'" Payton said. "It's not football right now, it's getting our bodies [right]."

"We have flexibility, but we do know at 12, if we stand pat, we're going to get a really good player," Paton said.

"I'm [going] in with my teammates," Chavous said. "We all are one. … We're just coming back together again. I feel honored just to be in there with them."

A slew of mock drafts have projected the Broncos will execute a trade and pick somewhere other than 12th-overall spot in this year's draft. But will they move up? If so, how far? Will they move back instead?

The Broncos have found Hall of Fame talent late in the draft.

Blackson is a nine-year veteran who has appeared in 128 games in his career and started 42 contests.
