To be fair, they wouldn't have done any better with DJ Moore and random QB X, and this year they'd be picking Caleb WIllaims..who may or may not be the answer. Their mistake wasn't the trade, it was the pick (compounded by not adding a damned thing for him to work with)
Just to play a devils advocate type scenario.
Minnesota holds #11 and #23. #11 is ahead of both Denver and Vegas, which by most accounts, are the final two "QB needy" teams in the upper half of the first round. given most people's opinions about how the draft will fall, its a relative...
Well to climb on my soap box for a minute -
I think that's %100 factual. Regardless of Rashee Rice being suspended or not, Toney is the most physically talented wideout on the team. And I'd go so far as to say that unless they draft Harrison, Nabors or Odunze, he'd still be the most...
I would hope the Broncos are shooting for more than "OK". But you ain't wrong. History is littered with guys like Rich Gannon, Fitzpatrick, Geno, etc..who ended up having very nice careers after being let downs early on
Jaylen Wright is also on my list of guys I HOPE end up in a good spot, and that MIGHT surprise a little. I didn't see anything on film to get all that excited about, but he does have some physical traits/abilities, that if he blossoms a bit, he could be a very interesting piece. He could...
Denver dropped their promo video for they new jerseys (ugly as F btw).
Two played featured in the vid.
Patrick Surtain
And
JaLeel McLaughlin
Maybe means nothing.. maybe means something
probably true, I still bet someone pulls the trigger, not wanting to be Sean Peyton circa 2017 sitting at #11 thinking your gonna score Pat Mahomes, and then you're left holding the bag and drafting a corner
that one had bene rumored since before the start of free agency, I had given up thinking about at this point. Former #2 overall for the cost of the difference between a 6th and a 7th. So long as all the Denver people keep their moms off the streets, not much of a risk.
Never know, maybe Sean...
Well Denver's GM is a GM in title only, so he'll likely simply be allowed to hang around until his contract is up. As soon as they hired Sean Peyton, George Paton became nothing more than a figurehead.
Supposedly he's a great evaluator of 'talent' so maybe he'd be a good 'director of scouting'...
Well that was one uneventful waiver period..one claim, and it's was a Team DST.
WE'RE PARTYING NOW!!
waivers/adds are once again locked until after the rookie draft
TO be honest, I HOPE we can add Vegas to this list as they trade #13, and D. Adams, and maybe a '25 #1 to move up and grab Jayden Daniels. PIpe dream, but don't piss on my rainbow
just a couple comments -
Depending on the outcome of the Courtland Sutton sit out, Denver could go form the most expensive WR room in NFL history, to a barren wasteland within 3 months. They won't say it, but most likely scenario is Sutton is dealt before or during the draft. Leaving them...
The whole Rashaad Penny thing just baffles me. The dude can't stay on the field, I get it, other than his slightly used rookie year with 14 games, he's never made it past 10 games played. He can't be depended on for 17, no question about it.
BUT, the dude is sitting on 5.6 ypc on 348 attempts...
