Lets kick it off. At least we can talk about first rounders again…for now
Caleb or Maye or we are just another team til Patty Allen Herb Bur and Fabio gets old 10+ yrs from now.
No doubt. The top of the draft is REALLY good next year.Next draft could be one of the strongest since 2011. I was seeing about 10 guys for next year that probably would’ve gone Top 5 in 2023.
Sure Elway's drafting acumen fell off towards the later years as GM, but Elway's roster construction gave us 2 SB appearances and 1 Lombardi Trophy so I can't fault his approach too much.
I keep pointing this out, but Elway went downhill has a GM when he married the former Raiders cheerleader.Right. I think people often overlook that part of Elway a GM. Sure, having Manning here helped him sign a physical defense with proven vets who wanted to play here but Manning did sign Elway and either way he still signed the guys around him. You have to give Elway some credit for what he did here.
He couldn't draft worth a squat but he sure put together a team around Manning that got us another ring.
and for those who say if it wasn't for Manning, Elway wouldn't have brought in those other guys he was able to bring in... Couldn't you say that about most GM's? One move can go a long ways.
….. and the feuding estate of Pat Bowman was being dragged around like an anchor.I keep pointing this out, but Elway went downhill has a GM when he married the former Raiders cheerleader.
At what point does the talent available at the top of the draft being good become really good at the middle or great at the end?No doubt. The top of the draft is REALLY good next year.
