Peyton Manning helped shape John Elway's view of quarterbacks
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- John Elway is now in his eighth season as the Denver Broncos' general manager, and he is still trying to settle things down at quarterback in the post-Peyton Manning era. He said he continues to learn and continues to adjust how he evaluates quarterback prospects in the draft.
In his seven previous drafts as a team executive, Elway -- a Hall of Fame quarterback as a player -- has used five picks on quarterbacks, including taking Paxton Lynch in the first round in 2016. Brock Osweiler (2012, second round), Zac Dysert (2013, seventh round), Trevor Siemian (2015, seventh round) and Chad Kelly (2017, seventh round) were the others.
