Arthur Arkush's 5 favorite NFL draft classes

Denver Broncos

No team consistently found greater value on the first two days than John Elway's, which might have secured the best overall prospect at No. 5; a "No Fly Zone" prototype CB at the back of Round 3; and a swift skill group transformation with Sutton, Freeman and Hamilton for Case Keenum. It's easy to envision Hamilton as Keenum's Thielen and Sutton as a younger Demaryius Thomas without the top-end speed. I also like insuring the Freeman pick — exciting runner but with a lot of mileage — in the Williams pick and going back to the B1G for Fumagalli with Jake Butt and Jeff Heuerman still unknowns.

That certainly helps. Having two picks in rounds 3, 4, and 5 also helped.

There's the polluted, ego-maniac we all know...still cant admit he moved up and drafted the biggest 1st round QB bust in years.

Lynch is so bad, they cant even let him try to be the starter after 2 years. I'm trying to remember another recent 1st round QB that never even got a chance to start...are there any? I mean one that didn't have an entrenched starter in front of him?

Keenum is going to get hurt at some point...so Horseface can watch his 1st round bust ruin another season. Not that they were going to do anything anyways...

Denver Broncos

John Elway understands what a perplexingly large number of fans and media do not: Denver’s Super Bowl window is still open. This defense is not much different than the one that brought home a Lombardy Trophy in 2015, especially now that Bradley Chubb is filling the void left by DeMarcus Ware. With Chubb joining Von Miller, Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett, Denver has four dynamic, flexible pass rushers, whom you’ll see all on the field together in certain passing situations.

Offensively, receiving options were needed behind Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. Those should be found between Courtland Sutton, DaeSean Hamilton and tight end Troy Fumagalli. Plus, getting a bruising runner like Royce Freeman amplifies what they have in starting running back Devontae Booker.

The only somewhat curious pick of the Broncos’ draft was cornerback Isaac Yiadom in the third round, given that Brendan Langley was drafted in this round a year ago.

Grade: A-

It's Elfraud; nothing good will come of this.

AND, even if EVERY. SINGLE. PLAYER. were bullseye's? They're going to a franchise coached by Radio and a host of other, assorted talent-killers.

You overlooked that his favorite was Arizona...who took Rosen.

If by "Super Bowl window" they mean "the windows on Barbie's town house", then yep; it's WIDE open.

5-11 team that still has a Superbowl window? They have progressively declined the last 2 years. Did Manning HGH 10 years off his life and making a comeback?

Do these pundits even realize that they were 28th in passing TDs given up...and that was WITH Talib?

Kansas City Chiefs
Draft picks: Mississippi LB Breeland Speaks (No. 46 overall), Florida State DT Derrick Nnadi (No. 75 overall), Clemson LB Dorian O'Daniel (No. 100 overall), Texas A&M S Armani Watts (No. 124 overall), Central Arkansas CB Tremon Smith (No. 196 overall), Tennessee OG Kahlil McKenzie (No. 198 overall).
Day 1 grade: A
Day 2 grade: B-
Day 3 grade: B-
Overall grade: B
The skinny: The Chiefs had no first-round selection this year because they traded up 17 spots in 2017 to bring in Patrick Mahomes. The young gunslinger played well enough last season that the team unloaded veteran Alex Smith this off-season. The Chiefs wanted a versatile defender in the second round, and they gave up a third-round pick to go get Speaks, who fits the bill. Speaks has potential, and he'll have to meet it to make the trade-up worthwhile. Nnadi will be a good nose tackle, but can he affect the passing game enough to justify the team's decision to give up a fourth-round pick to move up 11 spots to get him? With the final pick in the third round, the Chiefs added O'Daniel, who will play a safety/linebacker hybrid role. The value was about right, and it will be an interesting fit. Kansas City received pick 124 for cornerback Marcus Peters in their trade with the Rams this off-season, and they used the pick to meet their need for a safety in Watts. Smith could make the team because of its need to replace Peters. Interestingly, they're moving McKenzie from the defensive line to guard to take advantage of his size and athleticism.
