    Default Sacco Sez: How the Broncos were really built

    This is a really good read by Jim Saccomano

    On Nov. 28, I was called into his hotel suite at the Town and Country Hotel in San Diego, where we were to play the Chargers that afternoon.

    Mr. Kaiser had asked me there to share my opinion as to whether or not it was worth it to acquire Stanford quarterback John Elway, the best quarterback prospect since Johnny Unitas and the certain first pick in the 1983 draft.

    I said there was no way we could get Elway, as he was certain to be the first pick in the draft.
