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.

It wasn't the players they chose per se...it was the positions. WR/Edge weren't exactly needs until you look at the finances.
I'm not sure how happy I would be if I were a Donk follower...I think Horseface just conned the fans into whitewashing his fence.
They just passed up a franchise QB to relieve Ray of a $9 million dollar option. Had he lived up to his draft position, they wouldn't need Chubb. They passed moving up to get a guard to draft DT's replacement. Had Laitmore panned out...this wouldn't be happening.
This was all about the cap...which when Lynch busted, Keenum cost $36 million. Cause and effect...this was Horseface covering up his draft blunders.
