Thread: 2016 Draft

Broncos need to draft OL. Offensive Lineman should be their top priority.

Marshall is the best of the 3, no doubt, but Trev is a better 3 down LB than Wright, imo. They have Davis too.

"Huge downgrade " might be an exaggeration but I don't think so.

If you're looking for a mid-round QB to compete in training camp next year, you could do worse than Wentz from North Dakota St. Lower level of competition and needs to be coached not to lock onto receivers but, overall, getting good review from scouts.

I like him, but I doubt he lasts that long. Analysts think they may be a top 50 pick, late 2nd round at worst.

He's my favorite since back when he was actually a mid-round pick. He's coming off an injury but it won't drop him in the draft, he'll probably be ready for post season bowls/workouts.

Tons of experience, even if it's FCS it's in a Pro Style offense, with boots and roll outs, to go along with shotgun/pistol. Above average arm and really good mobility for a 6-6 QB.

I'd be open to going for the kid. The kid checks every box on the prospect sheet. The only draw back is that he didn't play big time competition often, but neither did Ben Roethlisberger or Joe Flacco. You put a strong team around the kid and he'd be awesome.

Regardless, I think it's looking very likely that the Broncos will draft a QB in the top 3-4 rounds this year, it's just a matter of who that guy will be.

Anyone watching Indiana? Trying to keep an eye on that OT, but so far he has either had TE help or was blocking a smaller LB.

Safety Jeremy Cash not playing for Duke in this game. Wrist injury. Should be at the Senior Bowl.

Spriggs? He's projected to be a late 1st-mid 2nd round pick right now. From what I've read, he's been a LT his entire career and has been very consistent. He'd be a good pick for us, if we decide to move on from Clady.

Or if they decided to keep him, improve both T and G positions at once with moving Sambrailo to LG and Spriggs/Clady to RT.

I got into the game too much and totally stopped watching Spriggs.

Lot to consider leading up to the NFL draft. OL seems like the greatest need given the sacks Oz is taking. Not sure if Schofield has room for improvement but I'm disappointed. Don't disagree we need OL help even if Clady/Sambraillo are healthy next year. I think we need a Safety in the first three rounds cause we don't have much behind Ward/Stewart. Maybe take a TE in the first 3-4 rounds if Daniels (trouble getting separation) or Davis (????) are gone. I can't see the Broncos carrying only Green and Heuerman (coming off major knee injury) into next season (Light?). If Elway can't re-sign Jackson & Wolfe we will need a 3-4 DE (Anunike). I see these as priority needs for the Broncos- OL, Safety, TE, DE. But, as usual, we don't know what the Broncos draft board will look like and how players will be ranked. FA signings may/will change priorities for the draft.

One last thought. If PM is not re-signed (I hope not) I'm vacillating on what the Broncos will do to backup the Brockweiler. If Elway/Kubiak are happy with Siemians, then they may draft a developmental QB late. Or simply sign a FA QB to backup Brock.

Just some random thoughts

Jaylon Smith may have just become available to the Broncos.
