What's not to like for a Linebacker named Jamin?

I think Mond is a good prospect. I don't think he goes 2nd round - just because 1st rounders get 5 year control and 2nd rounders get 4 years - if a prospect is good enough to be a 2nd rounder QB - it seems to me - teams will trade into the end of the 1st round to get a guy like that. I'm thinking he will be there when the Broncos pick in round 3. I also think he will be a good hedge against Lock failing to impress.I think Mond is going 2nd round but I’d trade up into the back of the 2nd for him
Not having seen much of Mond or Dak on college their stats are similar. Not sure why Dak went in the 4th round but Mond seems like that type of prospectMond is getting 2nd round buzz. I like Mond and I don't like him if that makes sense.
In other words. I personally have always liked him since he hit the recruiting circuit and he has had a ton of hype coming into college but he has never consistently put it together. I wouldn't even lay a finger on him in Round 2 if I was drafting for a team. I don't see the consistency. He has the talent but but he has been basically a 4 year starter (started eary in his FR year after Nick Starkel got hurt) but he has really been the same QB all 4 years. I don't see the growth/development I look for in a QB out of him.
I would rather stick with Drew Lock if Kellen Mond is the best we can do this offseason. Mond to me is a guy who has played like a day 3 pick who will end up being reached for on day 2.
Last year Mond had a rd 6-7 national grade when he asked for his draft grade and I really didn't see much improvement this year. Maybe a little but not as much as you would like to see. He isn't awful. He doesn't make terrible decisions but he is just kind of another QB to me in which you will just be looking for another QB again in a few years. I am rooting for him though. Always been a fan of his from a personal standpoint. Always been waiting for him to develop, just haven't seen it yet.
The hype on Mond is based around the idea that he actually did improve last year. I do think someone will take him in rd2 but it will probably be a team that doesn't obviously need a QB. Nobody is going to roll into 2021 thinking that Mond is going to get serious play time.Last year Mond had a rd 6-7 national grade when he asked for his draft grade and I really didn't see much improvement this year.

Doesn't this draft have enough LB talent to get one later instead of at 9. Your not concerned with character issues?After careful thought - considerable homework - I have come to the conclusion that Micah Parsons is the obvious and best pick - if available at #9 for the Broncos. He is the anti-Mahomes weapon the Broncos need against the Chiefs.
I think he has matured - since becoming a father.Doesn't this draft have enough LB talent to get one later instead of at 9. Your not concerned with character issues?
Any word on the vibe coming from Bronco country after Miami’s trade?
@nflbronco Good question.
As you know I love Parsons. He was my pick looking back to when we first started draft discussion back after the 2020 draft but I think it is pretty telling when you see Parsons left off the top 10 right now by nearly every single "paid NFL Draft expert", the guys with the inside information on his character and how teams view it. This draft is too talented in the top 15, IMO to risk the character flaws of Parson, but I REALLY REALLY love him.
I also don't get paid to do the background check on Parsons so if he checks out for us and we take him I will be thrilled, but I just think the overall consensus in the NFL is that it is pretty concerning and will hurt him.
Did you hear that guys??? If we don’t trade up we get Foles. We must trade up nowHey sorry this has taken me so long to respond. Went to Vegas last week for a Spartan Race and this last week was Easter week which makes work a little busy.
This is what I've heard so far...
The Broncos really do love the QB's in this draft. Paton is a huge Trey Lance fan while others are big Fields fans. I think they could be happy with either if they end up winning the trade battle to get up to 4 or 5 for a QB. If Atlanta and Cincinnati decide to stay put though the bidding war could get a bit bigger. Atlanta and Cincinnati don't want to fall out of the top-10 eliminating some of the competition for a trade up. Detroit though could welcome a bunch of extra picks.
Right now seems like things will come down to if the Broncos can get to pick 4 then either Fields/Lance will be the pick. If they can't then they will look for a trade back option possibly Chicago because they then could get Foles as part of the trade back.
