If you take away Von Miller, who are these great players Elway has drafted?

Chris Harris
Bradley Roby
Malik Jackson

That's all I'm seeing.
Von Miller was a no brainer. The 2011 draft was the best class in a very long time. He could have drafted any top 5 player and it would have been a home run it was that loaded at the top.
Unfortunately Dorsey's first draft was one of the worst in NFL history and he still got a solid LT and pro bowl TE. He also has been without a top 3 draft pick in 3/4 years here.
The jury is still out on his 2014 draft, but Dorsey crushed the 2015 draft. 2 pro bowl talents back-to-back, very good ST player and a WR who looks like he could be a good #2.

If you point to Dorsey's flaws, most will say Dee Ford. Elway has multiple Dee Ford question marks. Some even worse. Montee Ball, Cody Latimer, Schofield, Sylvester Williams, Osweiler failing miserably. That's 5 early rd disasters alone.

Manning did everything for Denver literally. Hidding a horrific OL and attracting all the FA's at good deals helped Elway more than Dorsey. Now all that is gone. Sanchez can't make a bad OL look good (saw the same from Osweiler) and Denver's FA's consist of a broken LT and our trash (Stephenson).
It's looking like 8-8 in Denver to me.
