With the fifth pick in the NFL draft, there’s no way the Broncos can lose. Even John Elway cannot mess it up. Can he?
If we’re talking touchdown passes or $50 steaks, Elway is a Hall of Famer. But you might as well blindfold Elway, spin him around three times and let him fire a dart at Denver’s draft board. Since taking over as football architect of the Broncos in 2011, Elway’s draft choices have been hit or miss. Mostly miss.
Now for the good news: The Broncos are sitting pretty at No. 5 in the first round.
