Drafting QBs: Historical Perspective Part III

When John Elway came to the Denver Broncos front office, I saw what everyone else did. He was facing two big problems. On offense, Denver obviously needed to improve at quarterback. It was a fun ride to the Wild Card, but QB wasn’t a strong position.

Also, once the rest of the league figured out our defensive blitz packages the players weren't of high enough caliber in one-on-one matchups to stop the opposing offenses. Gary Kubiak's and Wade Phillips' defense is a lot better.

In both the draft and free agency it’s clear that Elway has a rare perspective.
