Denver reminds me of Baltimore from the 2000's. After they won that 2000 SB, they went crazy building defense for years and they still had some legit great defenses through the decade (the 2006 team was a legit SB contender) but rarely did they have a QB worth anything, which came back to haunt them every single time in the playoffs. Defenses may win championships, but rarely without a decent QB.

The 2000 Ravens and 2015 Broncos are those rare exceptions where a defense does all the heavy lifting and wins.

Fortunately for us, Elway also passed on Ryan Ramcyzk who I considered a Top 15 pick...
