    Mel Kiper's highest-graded quarterbacks ever for the NFL draft:

    1. John Elway, Stanford
    Draft class: 1983

    Pick: No. 1 overall, Denver Broncos (Um, Mel - the Broncos didn't draft Elway, but whatever...)

    What I wrote at the time: "Perhaps the best evaluation of his talents was given by Cardinals coach Paul Wiggin, who said: 'He's got the confidence and field instincts of John Brodie, the special human qualities of Archie Manning, and the physical attributes of Terry Bradshaw.' In my final evaluation, Elway received the highest grades one can achieve in all categories. He has no discernible weaknesses and is the prototype QB. Without question Elway is a can't-miss All-Pro NFL QB who has the ability to make a place for himself in the Pro Football Hall of Fame."

    Career notes: Elway started 231 games for the Broncos and won two Super Bowls to close out his 16-year NFL career. His 300 career touchdown passes rank 12th all time. He entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004.

    Barry McKockiner just did a top-10 QB of all time video recently, and had Elway at 10, below Drew Brees, Brett Favre, and Russell Wilson (which is crap):

    He's a parody account if you weren't aware. You know, if the name didn't tip you off.
