When the Cleveland Browns selected Denzel Ward with the 4th pick in the NFL draft they really changed the way the rest of the draft played out.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Buffalo Bills had a trade in place to take the Denver Broncos 5th pick, but when the Browns decided to take Denzel Ward the Broncos decided they couldn't pass up on Bradley Chubb and backed out of the trade.
Buffalo and Denver had agreed to a trade based on who was available; but Broncos decided not to pass up Bradley Chubb, then Bills went to No. 7 instead. For Josh Allen.

The Buffalo Bills then agreed to trade their first-round pick and both of their second-round picks to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to get Josh Allen from Wyoming.
For the Broncos they are only a few years removed from their Super Bowl win, and they really relied on their defense to win that title.
In Chubb, they get the top pass rusher in this draft, and many believe when it's all said and done he will be the best talent to come out of this draft class.
Pairing him with Von Miller on the line is going to be a problem for opposing offensive lines for many years to come. Just last week Miller talked about how much he would love to play with Chubb, and now that is happening.
“He’s Khalil Mack and Von Miller put together,” Miller told the Washington Post.
“He is a great player and I would love to have him on my team. You don’t come across guys like that often,” Miller added. “We don’t (normally) have the No. 5 pick in the draft. I hope we don’t have a high pick like that for a while. So if we can steal a player like that, I’m all for it.”
If the offense of the Broncos can play better the AFC is going to need to be put on notice, because this team is going to be a handful.
