Llllloooooaded, right Knowmo? Elway has hit on some good players, but then again so has Scott Pioli. Here are your "hits" since Elway took over:
Trevor Semen (7th round QB who will be a capable backup in the league isn't bad)
Matt Paradis
Derek Wolfe
Malik Jackson
Sylvester Williams
Von Miller (gimme pick)
Julius Thomas (though he hasn't done much with his new team)
Yeah, you got some nice depth/special teamers who stick around for one or two years? How special that must be for you.

You forgot Roby, Ray, Janovich, Justin Simmons, and Riley Dixon (
who had one of the best rookie punting seasons of all time) Also, Paxton Lynch could turn out to be the best pick Elway has made since Von Miller.
You're also forgetting the undrafted guys Elway has brought in like CJ Anderson, Chris Harris, and Shaq Barrett.
Dorsey's hits:
Fisher (Not what you want from a #1 OVR pick, but it came in a terrible draft so I'll allow it)
Kelce (props for finding him in the aforementioned terrible draft)
Ford (Finally did something this year but still isn't that great)
Peters
Morse (Could be off this list if he continues his downward trend)
Chris Jones (Could've had Lynch if Dorsey would've been aggressive)
I'm not counting Fulton, Ehringer, and Tardif because they're no better than Max Garcia. And Hill wasn't added because fuck him.
Elway has clearly had more hits.
