The Broncos are the 12th team since 2001 to win their first six regular-season games.
Nine of the other 11 finished 13-3 or better. One finished 12-4. Another, the 2003 Vikings, finished 9-7.
Seahawks fans know were this is heading. Seattle owns the Broncos' 2010 first-round draft choice, a once-promising pick that depreciates with every Denver victory.
If the Broncos finish in the 13-3 range, the pick Seattle receives could be among the last few choices in the first round. The pick will almost certainly fall in the bottom third of the round.
The Seahawks can still come out OK. They sent the 37th overall choice to the Broncos in the deal. Denver used the pick for cornerback Alphonso Smith, a player the Broncos like, but also one who hasn't made an impact yet. The Seahawks found starting guard Max Unger in the second round even after giving up the 37th choice.
