Part 8: The Game Made April 26, 2023 - Englewood, CO As George Paton surveyed the Broncos draft landscape, he couldn't help but feel a perverse sense of relief at what to most would seem an untenable situation. It all started back in February, when a sense of desperation led Paton to mortgage

Part 3: The Trade March 9 - Engelwood, Colorado “Well, I think I just landed my Manning!” George Paton seemed extremely proud of himself.
