AFC West Denver Broncos

[SouthStands]

I'm hanging in here...good to hear about Your son...I can remember payphones and they only cost a dime...yes it's changing faster then we can keep up. If we have a decent draft..we'll be knocking on your door. I just read an article that Cleveland wants our #4 and Marcel Reece for their #12 and # 19...that would be huge for us...I love Reece, but we never use the guy.

I think I'd do that trade in a minute if I was Oakland. Reece is a quality guy and plays his butt off, but at the end of the day, he's only going to get you so many touches per game. Two first round picks gets Oakland a stud WR and then whatever DE falls (Dupree, Armstead). Not a bad deal at all.

[SouthStands]

I still don't see Erving going anywhere but the Chiefs . They need a Center in the worst way and He will be right for them at 18 He leaves the board there.

He could very easily...but they don't have any real tackles on their roster either. Fisher is a RT playing LT and they don't have anyone else really to speak of. I can see them using a couple of early picks on OL...maybe they target Grasu in the 3rd and get Collins in the first? Could go Erving in the first and look for that A&M kid to fall to them in the 2nd/3rd?

The intrigue of the draft...gotta love it!

I thought it was a joke at first...but they went on to say ExRaider coach DeFillipo is Cleveland's OC and loves Reece.

...and Cleveland reportedly wants Mariota something fierce. Not sure I get that, but whatever. Not sure how Cleveland gets Mariota at #4 unless Tennessee passes on him at #2. Jacksonville wouldn't take him, but who knows. Then it's a free fall for Williams, though I read somewhere that Atlanta would look to trade up with Washington at #5 if Fowler or Williams was available.

...like I said, the intrigue of the draft! It's my favorite time of the year!

Yup...that's what they said...it would depend on Tenn...but they want too much for the #2

I agree with you on Tenn. picking Mariiota then trading him later. I still think that trade will go to the Chargers For Rivers. Phillip doesn't want to go to LA and the Chargers want to. so If he won't sign with you next season get something for him this

I think the Browns are interested in a trade with the Chargers so they can grab Mariota and the Browns get Rivers!!! I guess in two days we'll find out.

Interesting angle. Could very well be. The Titans may surprise everyone and take Mariota and keep him too....lol. That's why the first 10-15 picks or so, should be very interesting and influence how the rest of the top rounds go. I think Denver is itching to trade up with somebody...for someone they have on the radar with 13 tradable picks in 2015 and 2016. But you never know with Elway.....he fakes one way and does the other sometimes....sometimes.

[R8der113]

Tenn...is the key Ute

[OnlyInUtah]

Tenn...is the key Ute

The Titans are the key but there are a lot of potential trades that could happen if someone slips further than projected. Mariota is the big press story but there are teams looking somewhere else than solely in his direction. I think most of the Mariota deal drama is really smoke and mirrors...and just hype.

I have to agree, the hype last year was all about Johnny Football and look what happened. Clowney got his PR guys rolling and was taken #1 despite an undisclosed gimpy ankle. We're talking millions here and it really is hard to cut through the BS. They've turned it into a science of sorts, but picking a blueblood is still a crapshoot!!!

[R8der113]

I went to lunch at Burger King today. Got a
Whopper with cheese and a medium fry. The exact total was $6.66. I ate it anyway but wonder if I somehow consumed an evil lunch? If I start speaking in tongue I am suing BK.

So You want us to start calling you Beelzepup now?

[R8der113]

...and my man Quanterus Smith was just waived. There goes that. I'm like the kiss of death for late round/undrafted guys. If I like you, you're going to get hurt and/or cut outright. First it was Mario Fannin, now Quanterus Smith...my bad fellas...

Can you start liking Brady then?

I'm hoping you make Peyton , your Favorite player.

[SouthStands]

Morning everyone...just about time!

So here's Denver's starting lineup today best I can figure:
OL - Clady-Smith-Ramirez-Vasquez-Schofield
QB/RB - Manning, Anderson
WR/TE - D. Thomas, C. Latimer, E. Sanders, Green

DL - Wolfe-Williams-Jackson
LB - Ware-Trevethan-Davis-Miller
DB - Talib-Roby-Ward-Harris

Players I see as needing to be replaced - Center - Ramirez; ILB - Davis

Players with something to prove - WR - Latimer; TE - Green; OG - Smith; OT - Schofield; NT - Williams; FS - Roby (he's a solid CB, not sure how he'll transition)

Players on the bench that can contribute - RB - Ball, Thompson, Hillman; TE - Casey; DL - Walker, Smith, Austin; OLB - Anunike, McCray; ILB - Marshall; DB - Stewart, Bruton

The way I see it, Denver is a strong team without a ton of reliable depth at this point. If you look at the roster DE may be the weakest link. Wolfe and Jackson are projected to start and Smith and Walker are very capable rotation players, but then that's it. They have Anunike listed at DE, but that has to be a mistake...he's 260...he'll need to be an OLB to contribute at all...which I think he will with his pass rush skills. With Wolfe's health and Smith's age, Denver only has Jackson and Walker at DE. That's concerning to me all of a sudden. I do like Williams and Austin at NT...I really think they are going to thrive in Phillips' defense. Nothing after Austin on the depth chart though.

LB is better, with the SILB the weak link here with Davis as the guy I penciled in. I like Ware and Miller on the outside and have some confidence in Anunike and McCray to back them up. The concern is that both Anunike and McCray have battled injuries throughout their short careers.

DB is rock solid in my eyes...especially if Roby can play FS like Elway thinks he can. Talib and Harris are as good as they come and Ward is a stud at the SS position. Solid depth with Stewart, Bolden, Bruton, Webster, and Roby able to play NB.

Offensively is a little more straight forward. I think Denver is set at QB with Manning now and either Osweiler or Dysert waiting in the wings to take over. Both guys fit Kubiak's system (in my opinion). At RB, Denver is absolutely set with Anderson, Ball, Hillman, and Thompson. Along the OL, Denver is young and has good depth with Clark, Cornick, Gradkowski, and Paradis. The starting Center and LG are in question, but there are capable depth players on the roster. TE has some promise behind Green with Duncan...I'm actually really looking forward to what that kid can do. WR is the only area where Denver has some unknowns. Latimer needs to step up, but I think he does this season. The only other guy I like is Fowler. There are capable backups in Caldwell and Palmer.

So all in all, Denver NEEDS help at OG/C and SILB, but then needs competition/backups along the DL (specifically at DE) and LB positions. I would be ok with a defensive heavy draft with one (maybe two) offensive linemen selected.

[IckyIPA]

Good stuff Southy, I think you forgot someone though... Owen Daniels will be one of Peytons main targets me thinks. I bet he will do like Sanders did in out performing Decker with the Jets, and put up bigger numbers than Julius does with the Jags

[IckyIPA]

History is about to be made when the Orioles and WhiteSox take to Camden Yards to play in front of an empty stadium... SMDH

[OnlyInUtah]

Off to Moab until tomorrow. I'm going to try to get back early afternoon tomorrow so I can be ready for the draft.

[kicks]

Just a quick drive by. Been super busy last 24 hours. Hope to see you all online tomorrow night.

Heard a rumor that the Raiders were interested in Q. Smith. Hope it's a passing rumor but Del Rio likes him a lot

[NewEraBroncos]

Maybe I missed it if it was already discussed, but I heard a rumor that the Broncos are possibly looking to trade DT for a first rounder.

Somewhere before the 22nd pick. What team(s) are in dire need of a #1 WR?

Cleveland and they have 2 first rounders

Taking a page out of last year and sporting the Avi of the man I want...Went back and forth between the Collins boys and finally decided on La'el over Landon. Watched a lot of film and this guy is the real deal. Supposed to be the best pass blocking OT in the draft and has great feet and leverage for plowing. Add to that he is nasty. Plug him in at RT for now and he also could be Clady's replacement in the long run. I don't see us trading DT for a pick, hope that is just pure speculation. Cleveland looking to trade it's two 1st round picks to Tenn. for 2nd pick

There's you answer, only problem is he hasn't signed his tender so can't trade him. Not enough time before the draft to match/not match a Cleveland offer sheet

[loutex]

hello kicks just a pass thru to wish you and the rest of bronco nation the best to you all in tomorrows draft!!

[OnlyInUtah]

Draft Day. A few more hours and we'll find out if all of this speculation is just hype. I think there's a good chance the Titans could just hold onto the number two pick and draft a position of need.
