In February 2014, two weeks after the Broncos were thrashed in Super Bowl XLVIII, general manager John Elway stood inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and tipped his cards to his next move. His Broncos were just mauled by a Seattle defense Elway knew he had to match. So, as more than 300 draft prospects prepared to take the field for an array of drills and media meet-and-greets at the NFL combine, Elway began to look ahead to the first step of his offseason makeover. He talked about the need for “those strong safeties that also have the ability to cover.” He addressed the need for speed on the defensive side to handle mobile quarterbacks.
