Dammit, beat me to it!

Two, the Broncos clearly aren’t satisfied with their tight end position because of injuries to Virgil Green and injury and slow development of former third-round draft pick Jeff Heuerman. Veteran John Phillips was signed as a street free agent on the eve of training camp and has been getting decent playing time through the team's first seven games.
And three, the Broncos’ personnel and coaching staff either loved Derby’s talent either as they evaluated him as he entered the 2015 draft, or watched him have 15 catches for 189 yards during the 2016 preseason.
Broncos general manager John Elway and Kubiak have both said they expect Derby to contribute quickly. The Broncos have signed, acquired, drafted and waived numerous young tight ends since Kubiak became their head coach in 2015.

THIS ONES FOR JOHNWOULD YOU RATHER WIN UGLY, OR LOSE PRETTY?
The answer is Butt in this coming draft.
PS- they cut Keo via twitter

The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
Giving up a fifth for this random guy makes me wonder why we didn't even consider giving up a fourth for Bennett this past offseason. Pats basically stole him
Derby is an interesting guy. Was a 4 star athlete coming out of high school, played LB and QB at Iowa, then transferred to Arkansas as a backup QB (which he was awful at) before moving to TE his senior year. He played as the #2 TE to Hunter Henry and showed a ton of potential even though he missed two games. So this is only his 3rd year playing TE but athletically he has shown a lot of promise. He outran Alabama's defense on a short crossing route and took it for a touchdown so that was pretty impressive. Had a great preseason too.
Or Ophelia.
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
