I've Seen Better Days
I'm not sure how I feel about all this love for Lock. I can't remember any team recently that has been this keyed in on a particular player. Especially, a team that is not picking 1st. If we really are this in love with the kid, we have done a terrible job of hiding the fact. If we are trying to throw smoke screens, then I think we have done a terrible job at that because it is almost unbelievable that Elway likes the kid this much.
Either way, I feel like we had a great opportunity to grab a better QB in last year's draft. Most of the reports that I have seen have all 4 of last year's top guys ahead of anybody in this class. And next year, the QBs are supposed to be much better than this year's crop as well. Seems odd that we would have traded back last year with 2 guys on the board. I get that Chubb looks to be pretty special and all, but if you have a chance at a franchise-type QB and you don't have one, you have to pull the trigger on one. Unless, Elway just likes Lock that much better than Rosen or Allen and Hebert and Fromm and Tua and those guys.
Maybe they have a short list of people that they would be willing to pick at #10 and they want to shake up the draft order a bit to make sure one falls to them.
