John Elway started drafting well since he came into the league in 2011 with his first pick, Von Miller. The 2011 NFL Draft could go down as the best draft of all-time. Elway’s first pick of the Broncos era in Von Miller would trickle down as a foundation establishing a defensive first team. Another solid draft picks in 2011, Rahim Moore, Orlando Franklin (Franklin still made an impact when Ryan Clady was injured), Julius Thomas and Virgil Green. Missed in Von Miller draft for the Elway and the Broncos, Elway signed Chris Harris Jr. as an undrafted free agent; now is a top five cornerback in the league.
