John Elway talks Broncos roster changes, options in 2018 NFL draft

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hours after introducing Case Keenum as the Broncos’ new quarterback last week, general manager John Elway hopped on a private plane bound for Palm Beach, where his attention shifted to the NFL’s troublesome catch rule and an agenda of change for the league’s competition committee.

Then he whisked off to the Bahamas for a family vacation before returning to Florida for yet another round of meetings and discussions about the league, about his team, about 2018 — a year he hopes will be much better than the last.

And so far, he’s feeling pretty good about it all.

Elway on adding veteran TE to go with Jake Butt/JeffHeuerman: ”We've been looking for tight ends for a long time. We’ll continue to look for them and try to find one there. You never know what happens through either free agency or trades so we’ll try to address that.'' #9sports

Elway has to perform better.

[Cugel]

Elway has to perform better.

That mostly means just trying to make better choices in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft. He's done reasonably well when not drafting QBs and drafting in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

But, if he takes a QB in this draft he has to be sure that guy is the future franchise QB, and not another Osweiler/Lynch.

Osweiler/Lynch > CK.

[SmilinAssasSin27]

Osweiler/Lynch > CK.

Not sure I agree with that one. CK isn't setting any records, he has at least shown that he can run a team, read a defense and win some games. Perhaps Lynch can evolve, but CK is currently the better option.

While I agree that he should have hired Kyle Shanahan, I am penalizing you two coffees, because 3 coffees before 10 AM is too much caffeine!

yea, that would help. . . :laugh:

the first few drafts weren't bad. . . they've had a couple real stinkers, though, and last year's class is very much up in the air. . . they gotta get this one right. . .

If you only had 4 coffees all day by 3:00 P.M. that's OK.

And kept the best defensive coordinator in the NFL.

And kept the best defensive coordinator in the NFL.

yea, that would probably have been a wise move. . .


honestly, i'm still pissed about that one. . . it's gonna sting for a long time still. . .

[Cugel]

I think the Rams are going to have the best defense in the NFL this year. Give Wade Phillips 2 or 3 years to create a top 5 defense, and give him some elite players and watch out!

The Rams now have elite play-makers at all three levels. On their Dline they have Suh and Aaron Donald, while they have Talib and Marcus Peters as shut-down corners.

On offense of course they have Goff, and Todd Gurley, but also just added Branden Cook from the Patriots. They won their division last year and this year Goff is another year more experienced. They and the Eagles have to be co-favorites this year.

What? That pizza is overrated? There is only one pizza I like, and that's the all meat special from our local Pizza Man restaurant. Other than that, I'll take bacon, or a steak, anyday.
