Elway thought Kubiak could do something with him. Unfortunately his health deteriorated and he had to quit midway through Paxton's rookie year.
Again, Paxton was the best choice in a sea of bad options. It was either trade a 3rd for Kaep, trade a first for Sam Bradford, pay Brock Osweiler $18M per year, or draft Paxton at 24. Everybody here would've done the same thing.
Elway would've loved to trade up for Carson Wentz instead of Lynch, but there was no way he could've traded up from 31 to 2.
