PETA will run with this because they hate the NFL.

You don't usually see Joe Ellis' name mentioned when it comes to the draft...

As @AlbertBreer reported this morning, Broncos had dinner last night and visit today with Josh Rosen. Besides Elway/Joseph, Rosen also met with team president Joe Ellis among others. #9sports

Andy doesn’t have a high opinion of the Donk’s defense.

"I went into that game feeling like we could score anytime," Reid told "The Around the NFL Podcast" last month at the Annual League Meeting in Orlando, Florida. "Once I got into the game, I felt the same thing."

Like I said, if they didn’t kill it he’s fine. I was just trying to figure out whether they did or not because I’ve seen conflicting shit. Why are you so butthurt about that?

I’m not... story said they released.

1st overall picks rated in the common era

Ben Liebenberg/Associated Press

42) Eric Fisher, offensive tackle
Drafted by: Kansas City Chiefs, 2013.

Eric Fisher has at least become a reliable starter in Kansas City, even if he hasn't been the sort of All-Pro level player most offensive linemen taken that high are expected to be (think Joe Thomas). Fisher has only missed six starts since being tabbed as the top prospect in the 2013 NFL Draft. He's definitely a better player now than he was then, although 2017 wasn't his best season. Perhaps he can get a stronger grip on the left tackle position as he grows older. Don't watch this if you're a Chiefs fan. Please do if you like the Steelers.

LOL, I guess it could have been 8 spots worse.

I should have kept scrolling:

3) John Elway, quarterback
Drafted by: Baltimore Colts, 1983.

You could make the argument that John Elway belongs even higher, but given that he never played a down for the team that originally drafted him, third seems right. Elway refused to play in Baltimore, so in May 1983, the Colts traded him to the Denver Broncos for Chris Hinton (a fantastic offensive tackle), backup QB Mark Herrmann and a 1984 first-round pick. Of course, Elway wound up starting five Super Bowls for the Broncos. The two Super Bowl wins at the end of his career pushed him into legendary status, but fans should remember that Elway won the league MVP in only his fifth year, becoming one of the youngest quarterbacks to ever accomplish that feat.

1) Peyton Manning, quarterback
Drafted by: Indianapolis Colts, 1998.

Easy choice at the top of the list. Not only is Peyton Manning one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time (I have him at third), he remains at the top of the charts in most major passing stats. Manning threw 28 interceptions as a rookie but started picking things up over the back half of his debut season. By Year 2, he was a Pro Bowl-level player and had the Colts in the playoffs. Manning's total of five MVPs continues to boggle the mind. What player, in any sport, can lay claim to being the best of the best in five different years? Not many.

Not everyone can be as lucky as the Colts and have Elway, Manning and Luck sitting there at 1.

**** off fan boy

I wouldn't call having the 1st overall pick that often lucky.

I am surprised that you guys haven't picked 1 more often, especially during the 70's and early 80's.

Sassy Squatch · 04-04-2018, 08:42 PM

Broncos seem to be interested in Marquette King. That's a good move if it happens.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 04-04-2018, 08:54 PM

Donk fans now relegated to pimping the past. Must suck to have absolutely NOTHING to look forward to...

TomBarndtsTwin · 04-04-2018, 09:07 PM

At least the Chiefs have gotten something serviceable out of Eric Fisher, unlike another franchise that traded up in the first round to draft a QB who, shall we say, has been something less than serviceable.

But, hey, I’m sure Elway will figure it out this year and draft your QBOTF in the first round again. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

RunKC · 04-04-2018, 09:16 PM

Paxton Lynch is one of the worst QB busts of the last 20 years right? I mean at least Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder didn’t lose to a 7th rd QB and actually played a consistent amount of games for their teams.

Paxton played like 5 games in 2 years before the Broncos gave up on him

Quesadilla Joe · 04-04-2018, 09:22 PM

Lynch would've played a lot last year if he hadn't gotten hurt week 4 of the preseason, and then again in his first start of the season against the Raiders.

There is still a glimmer of hope for him.

The lucky part is the QBs that they’ve fallen into. Try to comprehend
