The real question, especially if you’re talking about #5 overall pick, is who has the potential to be the most impactful player. Is it Nelson? A guard, who while he might be all-pro caliber is still just a Guard. Nobody takes Guards at #5 for a reason. Is it Barkley? The guy looks like another elite back in the Zeke Elliot mold. Is he worth it? How about Chubb (the pass rusher not the GA RB)? Line him up across from Von Miller and watch out. Is he worth it?
Or, do we grab the best remaining QB? A lot will be answered before the draft if we sign Cousins. There’s no way we draft a QB in the first if we sign Cousins but any other stopgap vet leaves that door open.
While Nelson may be awesome and might be safe, unless he can play LT, he’s just not worth the #5 overall pick, IMO. He’s a guard. Leary and McGovern will be fine next year.

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
Also have to take into consideration that a team has to be built from the inside out. So, I'm not a fan of the theory that an interior lineman isnt worthy of a top 5 pick. If he's the best player at a position of need, who is also considered a generational talent...you draft him. And adding a player of this caliber to left guard would in itself help to improve Bolles. And the OL talent is pretty deep this year. We could turn around and get a very good tackle with our 2nd round pick to play right side.
Taking a defender at #5 is not a bad approach honestly. The Broncos should be focused on getting the best player at their respective position and i dont think any of the QB's are worth that pick. Fine with OL because lord knows we need help there but if we take a DE like Chubb or a LB like Smith im down. We need help in those areas as well.
Agreed 100%. There is a chance we could pull McGlinchey as well. He's expected to go in the first, John could trade back into the first round and take him. Who knows. I know I'd be happy with the two of them playing next to each other like they have the last few years. I'd also be great with he and Bolles competing to see who is LT and who is RT, put Nelson at LG and Barbre at RG or flip them, whatever. That group (along with Paradis) should be a damn good group.
Tough to get a feel for where McGlinchey lands because of all the OT talent available this year. That being said, I'd be happy with any of him, Williams, Brown, Okorafor, Miller, Rankin, Crosby. And if one of them bests Bolles in camp, then move them to LT and Bolles to the right.
