It takes very motivated reasoning to look at that situation and say that Elway was particularly stupid in that situation.

I actually agree with you regarding the circumstance of the Broncos not moving up for Mahomes.
Given the state of the franchise during that draft, someone still held out hope that Lynch would put the pieces together...
All that said, if you think John Elway is anything more than a failure as a gm that lucked into Manning and his ability to recruit players (Manning, not Elway) you're in for a harsh reality...
