Going into the 2019 draft most around Broncos Country were dismayed to see John Elway pass on taking a pure off ball linebacker. Most around the league see it as one of the biggest holes on this year’s roster.
That may not be the case. Something I’ve noticed over my years following the NFL is how short the memory of the draft community seems to be. While this year’s Broncos don’t have a flashy first round backer like Devin Bush, it was merely one year ago Elway drafted two linebackers. Everyone who bleeds orange and blue knows about Josey Jewell, the 2018 4th round pick slated to start next to Todd Davis.
