They actually got a nice haul. NOt as good as last year's draft but last year they were drafting 5th in every round. That gets you a better class of players. Those early second rounders are pretty much equal to late first rounders, and so on for the later rounds.

I criticized moving back and getting another draft pick but Elway was clever enough to score his future franchise QB with his second pick of the 2nd round so that worked out better than I expected. He's very raw, but they can develop him for a couple of years behind Flacco, and let him learn. Then in year 3 he can step in and hopefully start.

If after a year he still looks confused like Paxton Lynch, you can always go out in the 2020 draft and draft a QB in the first round. If not, then you just keep rolling.

It would be amazing to find your future long term QB with the #42 pick.

Absolutely, and whats better is its not a reach nor a project. We actually got a bonafide 1st graded QB at a great value there. Will Lock be the guy? No one knows but the potential is much higher than the past QB selections.

I believe the Broncos played this draft perfectly. I was real big on White, but even I know he wasn't worth moving up for. The more I read on this Lock kid, the more I like him. I still believe any of these QBs were reaches in the top 10. I guess we'll find out with the Giants.

I saw all three of our top picks listed regularly as first-rounders so I'm pleased in that regard. Jones will make an impact and we now have a second guy to crack Juwanna Mann jokes at.

I was mentally prepared to see the Broncos take Lock at #10 so to get the same guy, plus a deep-threat TE llke Fant and a 2020 3rd rounder is outstanding, even if we had to give up a 4th and a 6th to do it.

Makes you wonder if the Broncos had stood pat and taken Lock instead of Risner then grabbed an OL at #52 if it would have worked out better. Assuming someone else took Risner before #52, the next drafted OLs were Max Sharping, Michael Deiter, Nate Davis and the Other Connor McGovern. Personally, I would have been happy with Deiter at 52 and kept my picks in the 4th and 6th.

Raw for the NFL. Some QBs are more prepared for the NFL than others. Lock is pretty much of a project. He even said in his interview that he has some technical issues with his footwork.

THat's what caused him to fall to the second round.

I heard it mentioned that's all I can say. I have a hunch he's going to be our starting left tackle which means depending on what they want to do with McGovern Denver needs either a starting center or guard.

There's no way he plays LT. If they decide that Bolles is just a bust, then they could possibly move Ju'Wan James to LT and have Risner play RT instead of G. But, they will try and get Bolles to not suck first, and only if he insists on continuing to suck despite receiving coaching from Munchak then they could just move Bolles to swing T backup, and start Wilkinson at RG, move James to LT and start Risner at RT.

I think that's the only chance he starts at T this year. But, they would prefer to play him at RG rather than T if possible.

Elway hasn't said where he'll play. He's played mostly at LT and I heard he's played a little at center. I don't see Denver moving a natural right tackle over to left tackle and natural left tackle to right tackle.

According to reports, Risner will start out at LG. Ron Leary is coming off injury and had a disappointing tenure so far in Denver. The T's are Bolles and James at RT. That would make McGovern the C and Wilkes the RG but those positions are not set. They could easily move Leary over to RG for instance. Leary isn't terribly mobile anymore which makes him a better fit for RG.

That lineup would change only if Munchak concludes that Bolles sucks too bad to start at LT and they have to make a move.

A gimpy Leary at left guard with risner at Center and McGovern It Right Guard for my money is much better than having McGovern at Center. I've also heard that Jones can play center. The nice thing about having Mike here is that it'll be a fresh set of eyes and nobody's locked in other than perhaps James.

nah, they're gonna start him inside. . . heard an interview with him yesterday-- he said he hasn't talked to munchak that much yet, but he thinks the plan is to start him at guard (most likely on the right side), and also get him some reps at center, with the possibility of trying him at tackle later down the road if they need him there. . . i would expect the line to initially look like bolles - leary - mcgovern - risner - james, with wilkinson backing up leary if he's not ready for OTAs. . .

in any case, i'm not worried about it-- coach nunchucks will sort 'em out. . . i'm super stoked that they got him a guy like risner to work with-- smart investment. . . real smart. . .

Yep short of Leary looking horrible this pre-season pretty sure he is going to be LG he is solid if healthy but there is question marks there for sure, only way he gets cut though is if he is just that bad he was pretty much locked in this year because of his contract and the injury guarantee he had, I agree with Risner at RG and McGovern at center, and the tackles already are pretty much set.

There is ZERO chance they are going to start a raw rookie at C. The C has to know every offensive play inside and out, and know what shifts and assignments for the line to call. He has to be smart and think on his feet. And he must be a veteran capable of leading the OL.

Maybe Risner in his 3rd or 4th year might make the transition. As of now, the LAST, absolutely LAST place they would consider playing him is starting C.

Unless they are going to tank for Tua and want to lose 12 games to get a top 3 draft pick of course. :coffee:

Dogfish is right, except that they will start Risner on the LEFT side, not the right, since Leary is coming off injury and will not be available right away. So, they will get to see how Risner does on the left side.

Leary is old and slowed by injury, while Risner is young and fast and athletic. The left side is the natural place for him, but when Leary comes back fully healthy then they may move Risner over to the right side. We don't know, but the strongest starting combo would be left to right - Bolles, Risner, McGovern, Leary, James.

If Denver loses 12 game it won't be because Denver played a rookie at center. Many teams have rookie centers who have done well.

If Denver loses 12 game it won't be because Denver played a rookie at center. Many teams have rookie centers who have done well.

True, but usually they were drafted as centers and played a lot of center in college. For instance, the Broncos were reportedly interested in drafting Garrett Bradbury, who was taken at #18 by the Vikings. He won the Rimington Trophy for the best Center in college football last year.

If a team drafts a C in the first round, then yes, he's going to start.

You're probably right though that if the team loses 12 games it won't be because Connor McGovern sucked at C. That won't help of course, but it will more likely be because Joe Flacco played like Case Keesum.

Sure, if the guy that plays center is suited for it won't help, at the end of the day one of main keys to whether Denver succeeds or fails is going to how the quarterback does.

Dalton Risner on local radio now with Dusty Dvoracek:


-Dusty really likes Risner, personally & as a player. Did lots of charity type work while at K-State.

-Saturday night in Wiggins: play pick-up basketball @ his house. Bonfires. 4-wheeling.

-Moment of pick: Tremendous feeling. Wanted to play in NFL his whole life, but to have John Elway & Von Miller calling his phone was amazing moment.

Dusty: I've always noticed your toughness, technique & tenaciousness. DR: That's just K-State football. Bill Snyder preaches that every day.

- Parents and community (Wiggins) instilled sense of responsibility for community. He started his foundation while in college, I didn't know that.

- Playing for Coach Snyder a lot of fun, but he is so detail oriented/old school. Day one he told Risner to cut his hair. He went and got a cut. Saw him the next day, and Snyder says, "I thought I told you to cut your hair." "I did coach, it was at my shoulders now it's just below my ears." "I said cut your hair, go get it cut." :D

- What position do you fit best at? Feels he can play across the board, and knows Broncos value that. Hasn't been told an exact position, but probably interior line. Wherever they put me, I'll go play there and have an impact. My goal is to earn respect of teammates, and coaching staff. I haven't done anything yet.
