It sure feels like Denver is "throwing in the towel" this season. This draft was good for them, but their personnel decisions leading up to the draft don't match the draft strategy.
Wouldn't you want Elway to cut salary or gain assets in deep positions on the team if he was planning to draft WR and OLB? I bet Thomas (whose replacement you obviously ended up draftomg), and either Ray or Barrett would have fetched picks or cap room to go after free agents, before the draft.
Just looking at it from the outside, it looks like this draft should have happened next year.
