Here's something interesting to ponder today. Here's a list of the pro bowlers drafted by the Chiefs and the Broncos since Elway started drafting. (Pro bowls can be for the their team or some other team just to keep it easy.)

One can argue that the only successful draft pick in Elway's nine years was Von Miller, and it's hard to screw up the #2 pick in the draft.

Chiefs:

13 pro bowlers with 31 selections.

3-63 - Travis Kelce - 5 Pro Bowls
5-165 - Tyreek Hill - 4 Pro Bowls
3-70 - Justin Houston - 4 Pro Bowls
1-18 - Marcus Peters - 3 Pro Bowls
2-55 - Rodney Hudson - 3 Pro Bowls
1-10 - Patrick Mahomes - 2 Pro Bowls
1-11 - Dontari Poe - 2 Pro Bowls
2-56 - Mecole Hardman - 1 Pro Bowls
3-86 - Kareem Hunt - 1 Pro Bowls
2-37 - Chris Jones - 1 Pro Bowls
5-172 - D.J. Alexander - 1 Pro Bowls
1-23 - Dee Ford - 1 Pro Bowls
1-1 - Eric Fisher - 1 Pro Bowls

broncos:

4 pro bowlers with 12 selections

1-2 - Von Miller - 8 Pro Bowls
4-129 - Julius Thomas - 2 Pro Bowls
2-40 - Courtland Sutton - 1 Pro Bowls
5-137 - Malik Jackson - 1 Pro Bowls

It's been a good multi-decades long discussion for sure. :-)

I'm still curious what Goodell would do to a team that so overtly greased their jerseys...that they had to actually stop play during a post-season game.

I would think immediate forfeiture...coaching staff suspended for a year, player suspensions, docked draft picks...and massive fines...I mean they DID get docked draft picks and fines...but that was for the other systemic cheating they did that season.

Of course to the donk-cheater fanbase...it was a perfectly legitimate win. Even to this day...they cant admit it.

Love that Al Davis called them out.....

That's pretty interesting.

Of our 13 we have only 6 left on our roster.

Of Denvers 4 ,well, none are playing tonight.

Oh, there's always enough hate for those cheating pieces of shit to last until they're relevant again, and then some. :-)

It seems the Broncos coaching staff and Elway still can’t figure out the great mystery of how to properly wear a mask. It is no wonder they can’t understand the more complicated concepts like how to play football well. I wonder if all the camera shots of assistant coaches and Elway wearing masks incorrectly in tonight’s game will cause the NFL to hand out more punishment? IMO the Broncos should volunteer to surrender draft picks since they would just waste those anyhow.

RunKC tell me again how there is “no way” the Broncos could beat the Jets.

:-)

As for you Broncos fans, good luck out-sucking the Jets and Giants.

Only 6 may be on our roster, but all of them are still on NFL rosters. DJ Alexander may not be. Not sure about him.

I didn’t watch but didn’t Darnold leave half the game due to injury?
[Reply]

No, it was just a few snaps.
[Reply]

No, he missed a play or two

The Jets would have to win 2 games...and the Donks would have to lose the rest of the way out.

No Lawrence for you....enjoy your toilet bowl trophy!!

Fangio is Herm in every way possible.

It's like they haven't quite grasped the idea that Mahomes will be in their division for the next 12 years...and he's only getting better.

"Hey...let's win a meaningless game...and blow our only real shot at being competitive for the next decade".

I love this win...but doubt the implications register with Donk fans. Mahomes transcendent talent has changed how this works now...

Don't worry...another generational QB will come around in 5 years.

I lived in Chi-Town during the Jordan years...Donks are becoming invisible.
