Seems like we have had a good chunk of our draft picks over the last 4-6 years leave via FA.. Many that were good, but not great players but with out winning success get more money from other teams.

It's a good and bad thing.

If you get 4 years out of a draft pick as a starter - you've done better than average in the drafting game. No superheros in this bunch though.

Will miss Kayvon the most and think he will be more valuable to his team. He will ball out guaranteed ! :)

That is the thing is not like this draft class didn't have guys go get paid it just wasn't by the Broncos. So still some decent value and some of them big contributors to our Super Bowl run. Sly was actually pretty impressive for us in 2015 and Kayvon obviously with his special teams work was huge down the stretch.

I would still say Elway's worst draft but I think a lot of GM's would say the same thing as that class in general was terrible.

Astounding how bad this draft class was as a whole for the league. Even some of the decent players are flakey such as Lane Johnson and Sheldon Richardson.

The bottom line is this draft class was a class that won a super bowl. That is all that really matters. :)

And to me I don't think you can call this draft a complete bust. Just because we didn't re-sign any of them doesn't mean that we didn't and other teams didn't like some of these players. I mean some of them went and got decent contracts elsewhere. Yes not Elway's best draft but again when compared to the rest of the league in that 2013 draft not close to the worst draft either among teams.

Oh yeah I surely wouldn't call it a bust draft.
It wasn't good either minus two guys who did make impacts for us, just not long term ones. When you think about it who lasted in the NFL the shortest in this draft? Montee Ball!!!

Smith is now out of the NFL. The rest are still in the NFL... King, Painter and Dysert were all on NFL rosters last year. Not real impactful but nonetheless on a roster.
