Drafting Bradley Chubb was one of the worst picks in the last ten years when you factor in the whole picture. For that pick to be considered good, he would have needed to be on a hall of fame pace by now, and he clearly isn’t even close.
When you jettison Derek Wolfe and Shaq Barrett to draft an edge player top 5, he needs to be remarkable.

Chubb was viewed as a Khalil Mack type of prospect. Joe Banner said when Denver drafted him that Denver just got the best player in the draft. If the QB Elway wanted was there at 5, they would've kept Shaq Barrett. Unfortunately, Elway didn't like Allen, and loved the idea of pairing Von Miller with a power rusher who would compliment him perfectly. With Shaq expected to be a high-priced FA, it made sense to draft a better, cheaper player at that position.
