Thread: Broncos traded something to the ravens for Center Gino Gradkoswki

This thread is going to be even more comical if Elway drafts Cameron Erving in the 1st.

What he wanted and what he will get are two different things. The markets drying up...

Fair point. I haven't been following that closely, as I know he's met with a ton of teams but remains unsigned. Could be similar to the Knighton situation, where something is stopping teams from going all in.

I still hope so. He can play Center like a Boss. He can play T pretty well and he can play Guard like a sexy MF too. He destroys in the run game and all of his deficiencies are things that can easily be coached up. He could be a stud at T with some coaching. He could be a super stud at G with some coaching. And an Elite Center with some coaching.

I know that four-ish teams brought wiz in for visits and he has the same 6-8 month recovery as I do. Myers has not been brought in by anyone and with at least 4 teams looking for a quality C- it shows his age and price tag are too much. It may be that he waits forever and when no one signs him he settles for 1.5 or something like we did for Montgomery last year, but as of now thats not the case.

The Denver Broncos are going to have a new-look offensive line in 2015 for many reasons. They could have as many as three new starters up front compared to the players they started out last season with. The Broncos are also going to employ a zone-blocking system, and that creates a need to find offensive linemen with a specific skill set.

New Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak knows the team needs to improve its play on the offensive line.

“We have to get better up front. There has been some shuffling going on. I feel good about our ability to develop these young guys. That’s our job as coaches.” Kubiak concluded, “We have a lot of confidence these guys have done this before.”

Although I'm concerned with their recent player acquisitions, l'll wait and see what they do in the draft before going into full melt-down mode.

I'm trying to do the same but my instinct is to bitch first and ask questions later.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Gino Gradkowski's excitement at joining the Broncos was palpable as he strolled the halls at Dove Valley on Thursday.
It's a new team in a new city -- but just like his old club, it's among the AFC's elite and on the short list of legitimate Super Bowl contenders. It a chance for a fresh start with familiar coaches watching him: Gary Kubiak and Rick Dennison, who worked under John Harbaugh on the Ravens' staff last year.

But it's also a chance to put a frustrating 2014 behind him.

Although his growth on the practice field last year led to the Broncos' decision to acquire him in a deal that saw an exchange of third-day draft picks, the 2014 season was nevertheless the most frustrating of Gradkowski's three years to date.

He played in just eight games last year and saw 10 offensive snaps in 2014, one year after starting all 16 games. He improved as 2013 progressed, cutting the sacks and pressures allowed in the second half of the year, but it was not enough to prevent the Ravens from trading for Jeremy Zuttah last offseason.

When Zuttah arrived, Gradkowski's playing time evaporated.

Maybe that chip on his shoulder can help his T-Rex arm length.
