What? Pretty sure there were quite a few people sick of both the bad contracts he handed out and the wasted picks on developmental prospects in the earlier rounds.

RunKC · 02-04-2018, 06:46 PM

How many All-Pro’s did Elway draft? Did he draft 3 in 4 years?

Those opinions were blasphemy before he got fired. I was the one who would laugh at all the contracts Dorsey would give out and nobody listened...

As are many others across the entire league. It's a wonderful place to be as a Chiefs fan.

Hopefully we can enjoy a minimum of 8 or more years of downward slide before the flames ignite and the pitchforks rise!

KnowMo's ride of choice:

Impossible, you say?

With Elfraud at the helm, it is VERY MUCH possible. Any objective football fan with no interests tied to Denver would look at Elfraud's track record and give him a C- at best for his entire tenure as GM thus far. Veach has never run a complete draft yet, but his offseason moves combined with bringing Mahomes to the table under Dorsey's time CLEARLY point to an upward arrow.

KC is sitting pretty. Denver, not so much.

People probably didn't take you seriously because you're a known troll. Just a guess. I know for a fact there were quite a few eyebrows raised at the extensions given to Fisher, Tardif, Hali, and DJ.

Jones, Peters, and....

Dorsey didn’t use a lot of early picks on defensive players though.

Jones and Peters >>> Elway’s offensive draft picks (which he clearly invested more early draft picks on)

Also, Tyreek and Hunt (and Mahomes) >>>> Elway’s recent draft picks on defense

He brought in Von Miller and Chris Harris in 2011.

RunKC · 02-04-2018, 06:54 PM

Kelce
Tyreek
Peters
Jones
Hunt

Yeah Elway isn’t even close to matching that.

Top 5 in your lifetime. Top 12 in mine. Learn some history.

12 of the first 16 picks in the 2011 draft went to the pro bowl. It was almost impossible to not draft a pro bowl player with the #2 pick in that draft. And even at that, Elway whiffed by passing over J.J. Watt, Julio Jones, and A.J. Green for a guy who was suspended for faking drug tests, arrested multiple times his first few years, and was caught associating with murderers on the same day that they robbed a restaurant and stabbed five people to death.

Yeah that all might be true but Von Miiller is a Super Bowl MVP and they're not sooo...
