Being a former high end NFL QB, one would think Elway would be great at evaluating offensive talent, yet he's awful at it and brilliant at finding defensive talent. Elway has yet to draft and develop a decent QB, TE, or RB. The TE situation has been really bad. Virgil Green has been predicted to have "a breakout year" for the last 3 years. 57 catches over 6 seasons? It's fair to say he hasn't worked out. Heuerman still has a chance to be good, but needs to stay healthy. He started to play well in the last 3 games of the 2016 season, so hopefully he can build on that. Jake Butt has promise, however he's recovering from injury and isn't a proven NFL talent yet. Elway is playing with fire if he doesn't sign FA TE Gary Barnidge. Barnidge proved his worth when putting up good stats with the Cleveland QB carousel. With 2 young QBs and all the uncertainty at TE, a 2 year deal would be a wise move. That way if Heuermann or Butt breakthrough this season, Barnidge can be traded or cut.
