The Denver Broncos wrapped up their draft with a quarterback, with the 234th pick Denver drafted Zac Dysert from Miami (OH).

He broke Ben Roethlisberger's school record in 2012 becoming the school's passing leader. In his career at Miami (Ohio) he totaled 12,013 passing yards.

He roughed through four different head coaches in five years.Dysert was added to the 2012 Senior Bowl when Matt Barkley did not accept his invitation, prior to the draft he watched film with the Broncos' coaching staff.
