Kiper does his homework. A lot of people liked Te'o, not just Mel Kiper. [Reply]

If you want to hang your hat on Kiper, that's fine. I'm going to continue to view him as a shitty prospect because of his <60% completion rate. That's just horrifyingly bad to me. Maybe if he had played in a power 5 conference I'd be a bit more willing to buy the "talent around him" excuse, but he's playing in the fucking Mountain West. [Reply]

When he actually does his own work yeah he's still got it. Very rarely happens anymore.
It still seems like he knows his stuff. I mean, he can go on and on about punters and kickers that will go undrafted. Maybe you're right and he doesn't put in the work he used to, but he still has tons of connections to people in the NFL so his info is still generally good. [Reply]

Broncos got great value out of that pick. Instant starter who is getting All rookie honors, can't ask for more. Add another tackle in the draft and the OL rebuild is complete.
Incorrect. You got an aged dunderhead who has proven to be COMPLETELY unexceptional, and who will, with time, prove himself to be the kind of shitty pick that Elfraud is becoming famous for.

There is no way in hell you could look me in the eye and say you wouldn't rather have Ramczyk [Reply]

Elway made a reasonable decision at the time, and had Dak not gotten in trouble before the draft he might've been a Bronco, as there were multiple reports that the Broncos really liked him.
Elway is a used car salesman and it shows with every move he makes.
Moved up to draft Lynch
Signs Stephenson
Signs Watson
Butchered the deal for Dumervil and the fax machine
Put on Clown shoes for the CJ Anderson deal
Tried to pay Osweiler 18+m till Brock started clearing his calls
Got dissed by Von on SM
Got clowned by Malik Jackson in the media
The guy is gonna cut Talib and have to watch him shut Thomas down next year while Talib starts for KC.
Seriously...the ONLY good thing Elway has done as GM is sign Peyton Manning.
30 years of hope wrapped up in your new Elfavre... honestly hope he works out and becomes a top tier QB. Sincerely. I'm curious to see what the patience is around here for him to produce. [Reply]
