The pending trade agreement for Joe Flacco to the Broncos is an intriguing scenario for Denver - a team desperately trying to build for the future while not sacrificing the GM’s oft-cited mantra to “Win now.”
Because with Flacco the starting quarterback for the near future, the Broncos now have a lot more room to breathe with their No. 10 pick in the draft.
So for all you NFL Draft mocksters out there, change your No. 10 pick guesses from Lock/Jones/Kyler/Haskins to Greedy/Baker/Murphy. Or Devin White. #9sports

Although Elway could certainly pick a quarterback at the 10th spot - and may still do so - the move for Flacco signals a hesitation for this year’s top draft QBs and hints that Elway could go a different direction.
