This is true... George was awake for the entire first round.. Unless he drifted between commercials... But everyone left me to myself when the Jags took Travis Etienne. Gave me the silent treatment like Jaylen Waddle did to his family.
It's like the dugout when the rookie hits a HR.

Yahoo is full of yahoos giving us a C. Truly a dumb opinion
I see he gave the Broncos a "C" for not drafting Fields - and he gave the Bears a "C" and they did draft Fields.

I read an article in the Athletic - that showed a chart - that tracked the actual draft slot vs. the consensus mock draft chart - and in that exercise the Broncos finished 3rd in the league in Return on Investment - meaning compared to the consensus spot the Broncos took guys much later than than their consensus draft placement - i.e. PBA.

I understand the premium on QB thing, but it’s really one of the most difficult positions to draft, unless you’re talking consensus #1, and even then it’s difficult. I would’ve been miffed if we passed on Lance, but that’s just a personal favorite and has nothing to do with actual player evaluation. There is almost an equal premium on drafting a shut down CB, which for all intents and purposes, is what Surtain is. And CB is easier to evaluate for success. Paton nailed this draft

I can’t wait to see Williams bowling people over. This offense, with Sutton back healthy, should be fun to watch. And with sustainable drives, the defense is going to be well rested and downright scary

If you are going to grade a draft, you need to grade the players take and not what you wish a team would have done. The Fields situation is just an example of this.

You be rolling with Bronco history my friend. The Broncos have the offense and the defense set up just for guys like Williams and guys like Surtain shine. Excellent players with excellent situations.

Spielman wants to move up for Fields and move on from 35 TDs 13 INTs and 4300 yards?

Paton has fields sitting there at #9 and wants to roll into 2021 with Lock or bridgewater??

Interesting for a slow holiday weekend

June 2 is this Wednesday

You should post a picture of the jersey closet. Or is it a chair? A jersey chair?

It's two closets. I need to figure something out. It is getting out of hand. As a kid I got tons of jerseys even of my favorite player not on the Broncos. Then for about 5 years I sorta quit the collection then last year during covid I started doing things from my past to keep me busy (old hobbies, etc) and I bought a few jerseys and now I am all about the collection again. I figure as long as I stick to Bronco jerseys they will always mean something to me. Can't frame them all but I am looking to find some sort of way to display all of them.

Even though the draft has expired we can still get this to 1,000 and then lay it to rest.

I hope we don’t regret not drafting Justin Fields
