#5: Who do you want? Who do you think?

[MileHigh64]

Pretty simple. If the Broncos stay at #5 in the draft, who do you want them to pick (if available) and who do you think they'll pick (if available). The two choices are not mutually exclusive.

 

[MileHigh64]

I want the Broncos to pick: Saquon Barkley
I think the Broncos will pick: Baker Mayfield

I want Josh Rosen
I think we draft Baker Mayfield.

Personally I want to go Barkley or Nelson. I am not sold on any of the QBs and want to see what Case can do before investing a high draft pick on a QB. If Case doesn't work out we will be drafting high again and can pick a QB then.

I see your point, but it's not often we pick at #5. If the guy is there we love at QB, we take him. If not we have other great options.

It should be a fun pick.

Barkley or Chubb - I think the Broncos pick Bradley Chubb.

I'd be happy with Barkley or Chubb or a QB or Nick Kendell.

Report: Broncos to visit with Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and Josh Allen over next week

 

[Draft Crazy]

Right- But I am asking if you have examples of where he has tipped his hand in the past? What about this from his past makes you think that he is leaving Mayfield out because he wants to draft him? Not saying you're wrong. He drooled over Mayfield at the SR bowl. Just thinking from past experiences is this a common trend of his? Or are you just guessing?

Do you guys have concerns over Rosen's injury history?

Do you guys have concerns over Rosen's injury history?

That is my biggest concern with him honestly. I think if he can stay healthy he has a very good chance to be a top-7 QB in this league.

Here is my issue with this line of thought...There is no guarantee that there will be better QB's in the next draft or the draft after that. If the Broncos like a QB in this draft and have the chance to get them then you don't pass on that opportunity. Scout.com has been giving draft grades for years and said this is the first time in a very long time that there have been 4 QB's with a grade above 90 in one draft. There is risk with all of these QB's but there is risk with both Barkley and Nelson as well. If I'm going to take a risk I would rather have it be on the biggest and most important position on the field.

At first I thought the same thing about the 4 QBs at 90+ but then I heard Stink say Scouts Inc at Espn is not really tied to professional scouting plus they had Vince Young 97 , Jamarus Russsell 98 . Makes me stop and pause. I think odds are 2 will bust, one will be great and one will be good. Who know maybe 2018 is the exception to the rule.

Not based off what any site or company says, but I agree with this.

Oh I'm not saying they are the end all be all of anything when it comes to scouting. Just more to show that this draft is unique in the possibility of 4 QB's turning into something. And I do agree that good chance 2 of these guys bust. I also look though at past drafts and see Guards that have been taken top-10 and RB's taken top-10 and the bust rate is actually still pretty high. Or at least I would say the impact they make is less than you would hope for in taking a player top-10. Chubb to me is the only player outside of the QB's worth taking. RB and Guard are both two fo the deeper positions in this entire draft. I would rather wait on those positions to still find a guy that can turn into a quality starter. Chubb though is the only pass rusher I trust to meet expectations from the pass rusher group. The others are huge unknowns. Some potential but guys who haven't shown a ton on the field yet.
