Dorsey played Elway and Oakland like a fiddle last year when they overpaid for Donald Stephenson and Sean Smith.
Both of these players were benched and we got comp picks for them :-) [Reply]

Dorsey must be the greatest ever... some around here like to say he hoodwinked the Broncos into taking Lynch. Lots of strategery and misdirection in the draft for sure, but giving Dorsey all this credit for what other teams do is kinda funny. It's as silly as someone suggesting that Elway tricked Houston into overpaying for Brock when Denver offered and was willing to pay about $3M less per year. Elway was lucky that he stood his ground on the money and that Houston was willing to pay more without meeting with or spending time with Brock. [Reply]

I don't think Dorsey tricked Elway into drafting Lynch. I think KC had no ammo. Elway did the right thing with Brock IMO.
What's funny is Schwartz was brought in to shut down Von Miller and then Von went out and got 3 sacks on him the next time he played against him. :-) [Reply]

Thank goodness the rest of the Broncos sucked that game. [Reply]

You silly infant.
John Elway offered Brock Osweiler more than 17m per year and tried to offer more when Brock stopped taking his calls and basically gave Elway a "Bye, Felecia"
Then, he went out and signed 2 offensive tackles (to replace the offensive tackles he had drafted the previous year in the second and third round) to stupid contracts that he's having to release this offseason.
The best part of that is by signing those 2 guys, Elway was so sure they were the answer to his OL problems that he lost premium comp picks by signing them.

One of the sacks was a designed screen that Alex ruined by holding the ball. The play design was for Schwartz to let Von free and get to the 2nd level.
