There was not a singular ah-ha moment for Broncos general manager John Elway and his personnel staff as the 2017 season fell apart with an eight-game losing streak.
There didn’t need to be.
It was all right in front of Elway each Sunday as he and director of player personnel Matt Russell watched from their stadium suite and every Monday when they reviewed the wreckage on video.
Just two years removed from a Super Bowl title, the Broncos’ draft model was fractured and needed to be fixed.
“We looked exactly at where we’ve been and what had been going on,” Elway said during an interview with The Denver Post last month.
