Thread: John Elway pre-draft presser

Make Lamp the RG and move Garcia to Paradis backup, where they have nobody.

But make Lamp prove he can't survive at LT first.

This all sounds like the Texans saying they aren't sure they'll draft a quarterback.

Now, I wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos are still working the phones to get a LT in trade.

Elway is a master at misdirection. I find it comical anyone thinks he tipped his cards

He could literally just say what he wants to do and we couldn't believe it.

I prefer him over all over OL because he is the best of all lineman and can play all 5 positions. But we need bookends.

I'd be amazed if they weren't. That doesn't mean Elway will work a trade. But, he'd be crazy not to try. If he had a really good LT this team might have a chance to win the division, even with Trevor Siemian as the QB!

Of course, they still need a TE who's a red zone threat, they've lacked since Julius Thomas left. But, this is perhaps the deepest TE class in NFL history. At least it's very deep which means you can find a TE in the 3rd or even 4th round who will be better than anybody they have on the roster right now.

In addition, they need a slot WR, but there are multiple ways they might fill that need too. RB is another need, but they could pick up a RB in the 3rd round and be OK. There's always Jamal Charles who is still just sitting there waiting for a team to scoop him up. If he's even 60% of the player he was, he's still better than any RB on the roster other than CJ who is oft injured.

He's a projected pro-bowl caliber G at the NFL level, which is fine. But, that doesn't solve the need for a T. It's like entering a Lamborghini in a dirt bike race. Not the right course where the Lamborghini can really shine.

You arw talking about a guy who played LT entire college career. I would let try it out and not take it off tue board as option.
