He’s in the luxury box with a serious look on his face watching Oregon play the Washington Huskies. Looks like he realizes Keenum is not the answer. I’m not sure how I feel about this. I don’t watch much college football, but when I do it’s the Ducks. Herbert hasn’t impressed me. Not saying he won’t be good, just hasn’t excited me. The scarier thought? That Elway thinks we will have a chance at a high first rounder again. Yikes. Unless he is looking at Jake Browning too.

He could be looking at Browning who is pretty damn good.

I’m actually more impressed with him. He’s not expected to go in the 1st round quite yet, but I imagine he’ll rise in the draft prospect rankings quickly.

If you think you might need a QB, this one of the must-watch games of the college FB season. He'll probably catch Montez at some point too if he hasn't already, but that's easier to do in Colorado if he wants to. Doesn't mean anything about Kelly right now - it's covering the bases, which is something Elway should do more of. If Kelly gets into a bunch of Denver games this year he can put his own work on film, but this game is happening right now and we'd all crush Elway for not being at it if Kelly doesn't look good in regular season action.
Glad he's there.

He has scouts for that. I'm sure he'll be looking at a lot of players in this game, but he's there to observe the QBs in person. Even though he's the anti-QB whisperer to this point.

KUSA – Fresh off garnering his best rookie class in years, Broncos general manager John Elway is rolling up his sleeves and going to work on the 2019 draft.
Elway and director of player personnel Matt Russell will be attending the Oregon-Washington game today at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore., in what is the first of several college trips the Broncos’ duo is scheduled to take in the coming weeks.
Elway and Russell won’t be alone in Oregon today as the game is a must-scout for all NFL teams. More than 15 scouts/personnel executives around the league are scheduled to attend the Oregon-Washington matchup. It features the Ducks’ Justin Herbert, the projected top quarterback in next year’s draft, as well as several other early round prospects.
In all, 13 to 16 players overall from the game figure to one day play on Sundays in the near future.
Before anyone tries to connect Elway’s visit to the team’s three-game losing streak, this trip was planned back in July along with several others throughout the college football season.

Hard to say since he is not in the NFL yet. LmaoI am a Utah Utes fan so have watched Browning quite a bit. And the guy just doesn't look the part most of the time. I'd be very disappointed if he were drafted by the Broncos. He's got a good team and a great coach but I think he is going to end up being a back up QB in the NFL for a very short period of time.
I hope he is watching...it's kind of his job.

There is NFL talent on those teams other than 1 or 2 quarterbacks.
Our secondary is in desperate need of help.

But by blowing up a strength and replacing it with a band-aid you get a better team - Bronco fans several months ago.

Herbert is a stud. My biggest fear is that he should probably stay another year, but won't. Which means he'll need a little seasoning in the NFL...and I just don't see him getting it in Denver. At least not properly.

2016, he was a freshman and Helfrich went with Dakota Prukop, a senior grad transfer from Montana (Montana State? I can’t remember which one). Herbert was starting by mid October as a true frosh. He broke his collarbone as a sophomore.

I have not looked at the guy yet, but assuming he does get some seasoning, where would you kinda rank his likeyhood at? Is he a chad kelly, maybe more like a Josh Allen, A wentz (ive heard this comparison) a derek carr?

Of course he's looking at QBs. That's his job! :laugh:
He's President of Football Operations which means his job is to make all major personnel decisions. He has a scouting staff and boy has it changed over the last year!
Matt Russell Director of Player Personnel
Gary Kubiak Senior Personnel Advisor
A.J. Durso Director of Pro Personnel
Mike Sullivan Director of Football Administration
Until this year, Matt Russell made all the major draft recommendations to Elway and boy were they terrible! Just look at the last 4 years of the draft until THIS year when it suddenly turned amazing.
I mean Chubb is tearing it up, Courtland Sutton scored a first TD, Freeman and Lindsay have proven to have real starting ability, we'd be OK with either of them starting so they make a great duo.
Yiadom and DeShaun Hamilton have contributed and even their 7th round pick RB David Williams got picked up off the practice squad by some other team which means he's made the active roster somewhere at least temporarily.
What happened? Before this year they were drafting 1st and 2nd rounders like Paxton Lynch, Ty Sambrailo, Cody Latimer, Sylvester Williams, Montee Ball.
The rest of their drafts sucked just as bad.
They no longer let Matt Russell near an offensive draft selection. Kubiak does that. Russell presumably still makes defensive recommendations, but he basically got demoted. His role is less influential and Kubiak's role in personnel selection has grown enormously.
And it shows in this year's draft.
