In 2012, critics panned the Denver Broncos' draft class, calling it the definition of mediocrity. Defensive end Derek Wolfe over Devon Still or Jerel Worthy was a mistake. Quarterback Brock Osweiler made no sense. Defensive end Malik Jackson was undersized. And linebacker Danny Trevathan, well, most had to double-check the spelling of his last name. It was pegged as a draft class of hard-working players who didn't have much buzz. And the average grade on it was exactly that – average.
And that "C" assessment? Four years later, it's below average.
