He is, and this also goes to show you how bad of a GM Elway is.Originally posted by EnglishBolt View PostComment

How many Super Bowls did Elway get to as GM? What's his record against us as a GM?
Drafting isn't everything, especially if you're always drafting late.Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

Getting players any way you can is his job. Any many fans thought Manning was done, he didn't.Originally posted by EnglishBolt View PostNow, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

So we just forget all of the QBs he drafted and expensive free agencies or trades he made in the last few years?Comment

Yep. Because winning counts more than drafting.Originally posted by EnglishBolt View PostNow, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

I think this draft class is pretty solid. The roster is loaded. Im still a little concerned about the OL. But he seems to think its fine. Time will tell. Hes not perfect. I hope Pipkins isnt another failed 3rd round OL pick by TT. Feeney should continue to get better.Originally posted by EnglishBolt View PostComment

Well, I'll wait to see if he can do it again before I judge.Originally posted by Formula 21 View PostComment

That and he had the second pick in the draft getting Von Miller and drafting early in every round. Still had some bad picks.Originally posted by EnglishBolt View Post
Drafted Raheem Moore at 45. Moore was awful his last year in college. He had one good college season but seems it was more luck than skill.
That same draft he picked Orlando Franklin. He was Meh for them and bad for us.
Elway seems to be better with signing vets though Keenum wasn't good.
I'm not a big fan of Lock either so his string of picking bad QBs early can continue.
Manning was his best move by far.Last edited by Boltjolt; 05-12-2019, 03:52 PM.11 Brock Bowers TE - Georgia

Here's an article grading Elway on his drafts. His first two were good; after that, it's been up and down. Here's an eval. of the 2017 draft: 2017 draft scoresOriginally posted by Boltjolt View Post
Garett Bolles: +1
*DeMarcus Walker: -2*
Carlos Henderson: -4
Brendan Langley: -2*
Jake Butt: 0
Isaiah McKenzie: 0
De'Angelo Henderson: 0
Chad Kelly: 0
Total: -7
I won't be going over 2017 draft classes in my comparisons between Elway and others who make personnel decisions. However, I wanted to grade this class for additional perspective.
At this point, only Garett Bolles looks like he will have a chance to live up to expectations for the round in which he was taken -- but that will mean he needs to play well enough to merit an extension beyond his rookie deal.
But it's too late for Carlos Henderson, who goes down as another draft bust for Elway. And it's not looking good for DeMarcus Walker, who has yet to crack the starting lineup.
Perhaps Brendan Langley can make up ground if he catches on at wide receiver. But until then, we are looking at a draft class with four players taken in the first two days in which one is already a bust and the others are, at this time, dragging down Elway's draft score.
