One qualification:

Shanahan in Denver rarely if ever had a draft choice this high to potentially go and draft a franchise quarterback.

The reason he was going with the Bristers and Beureleins as backups and taking guys in Rounds 4-7 is because his Denver teams were finishing 12-4, 13-3, 10-6 or 9-7 and were drafting in the middle to late of Round 1.

This year will mark a departure from that history.

The Oakland experience I throw out because Al Davis runs the draft with little input from the OC.
