So if Lamb, Jeudy, and Hederson are gone at 15 would you draft Kinlaw, Ruggs, or trade down?

I also think Isaiah Simmons while great film and workout numbers also poses a high bust potential. I may be in the minority on this one. But where does he play? He isn’t a SAM. He isn’t a true safety, you almost have to let him strictly roam and find the ball to be most impactful. I think fit is extremely important for him. He has to be used right to live up to his hype and that might be harder to do then many think. Huge upside but also high bust poential, imo. Probably would be find under a coach like Fangio.

I've been thinking the same for Akeem Davis-Gaither. Not quite a LB, not quite an edge rusher, not quite a safety but played them all in different situations. Has to land with the right team to take advantage of it.

Yeah- Not the highest on Davis-Gaither either for the reason you mentioned above, but I also see a little bit of Ian Gold in him who worked out well here.

If we trade up to 10 and Simmons, Jeudy, Lamb, and Ruggs is there. Who do you take?

I think I still go with the WR, but I pause because Simmons could be huge when facing Waller, Henry, and Kelce. I am sure Fangio would find a way to use him.

My take

Best Blocker- Ceedee Lamb
Best at tracking football in air- Ceedee Lamb
Best playmaker/speed- Henry Ruggs
Best Hands- Van Jefferson (Something Elway really keys in on his WR's)
Best Route Runner- Jerry Jeudy
Best YAC- Ceedee Lamb, Brandon Aiyuk
Best use of frame- Ceedee Lamb
Best at catching the ball in traffic- Ceedee Lamb (Jeudy not far behind)
Best inside the red zone- Denzel Mims (Something we need to improve on)
Best at one handed catches- Tee Higgins (Not that you really want to see a guy catch the ball one handed, but)
Best Gadget player (can line up at RB, WR, return specialist, can line up at QB as a trick player) Jalen Reagor
Most Dangerous with the ball in his hands- Henry Ruggs
Best Vision- Brandon Aiyuk
Best overall- Ceedee Lamb

Who do you draft? The one that fits your need the most! :)

I think he will be a S IMO and Chinn can do about the same thing

For Denver I would would go Ruggs because we need a play maker and a guy that can keep the defense more honest. Think we could go back to back WRs with Ruggs and Mims? That would definitely change the way Defenses view the Broncos Offense. I don't see it as a real likely scenario however.

I don’t see it but it sure as hell sounds fun!

Go from the Broncos being one of the least explosive teams in the league to one of the most for sure. Hard to see them making that kind of decision as I do worry about what that would mean for Sutton a bit and his future with the team. You don't usually invest that much draft capital and then also pay a guy huge money.

Personally what I would love to see is go get Ruggs in the 1st and then a guy like Jefferson in the 3rd. Gives you your new slot option who has very steady hands to be that 3rd down option in Jefferson and gives you the big play threat on the outside that opens things up for everyone else in Ruggs.
