    He would be a decent signing.

    Depends on who doesn't re-sign, honestly. There's no point naming 2-3 dream options if their teams all extend them a week later. With that in mind, it does look like there should be some decent options; maybe not All Pros, but better than any rookie we can get at #20 in a weak OT class.
    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    Oh, he will. The irony is that when you tell him that sometimes there's not guys there to take that are worth it he ignores it. It's almost like selecting any tackle in the first round is THE thing to do.

    Someone beat McCaffrey's 3-cone time--the CB from Washington. But not Sidney Jones...the other one. Kevin King is his name. NFL Draft Scout had him at #79 overall, #13 CB prior to combine. His stock should rise after a good performance:

    6-3, 200#, 4.43, 39" vert, 6.56 3-cone

    I was blown away by Sidney Jones' film, his hips swivel like an action figure, he moves like he's Ghost in the Shelling everywhere. Now the other UW corner does this.

    I thought they had the best secondary in college football. They probably have 3 day one starters in the NFL.

    From what everyone says of this years draft, no, I can't, because the kind of subpar candidates everyone says are there aren't truly 1st round OTs. Contrary to what SOME people suggest, I do NOT advocate spending a 1st rounder on any random OT just for the Hell of it, no more than I support spending $12M+ for scrub FA OTs. The whole IDEA is that it takes premium picks/money to get premium players at premium positions; if that's not in the offing then no, that expense isn't justified.

    But: C'mon, no one can sit there pretending there have been NO 1st round-calibre OTs in the SIX SEASONS Elway's been drafting. That insults the intellect.

    Among FAs, even at this early point it appears most ships have already sailed, and Spotrac lists Clady and Will Beatty as the top remaining options. Of the two, I'd prefer the former, whose had some recurring injuries of his own in recent years, but hasn't further crippled the same leg year after year.

    Scroll down and right to "Free Agent Spending by Position" and you'll see LTs have gotten more money than ANY position except WRs, nearly matching even then despite HALF as many FA signings (i.e. 6 LTs to 14 WRs.) Include another $50M to 3 RTs alone and OTs have received more FA money this year than ANY other position, and average >$10M than any other position (with Gs a distant 2nd, DTs 4th and DEs 5th; CBs are the only non-linemen in the top five.)

    What are the odds of waiting til the end of the 2nd or 3rd round yet still finding a quality player at the most sought after non-QB position...?

    Doesn't mean you should pull the trigger on a down class out of desperation, but there have been multiple drafts with multiple solid OT prospects we sorely needed far more than a #4 LB or #3 CB. But we went Best Player Left after Twenty or Thirty Other Teams Picked, and this is what we have to show for that.

    Elway drafts defense first , it worked.

    I wouldn't mind if the trend continues this year.

    Joel is bitching that we've drafted BPA -it's helped us win and get to a SB- because the ideology of the offensive line has not been coddled.

    I wanted Cordy Glenn when they traded down and drafted Wolfe, I wish they found a way to get both.

    I'm greedy.
