Have you noticed how fast Keenum releases the ball? Practically no windup . . .

To me, a great guard is less impactful than even a good RB, and now it's rare for RB's to be drafted highly - think how good Barkley's grade was to be the second overall. Position matters, scarcity matters. These guards are hitting the free agency market. I'd rather have a stud like Chubb, and have to go and sign a guard then draft a stud guard and have to go sign a pass rusher like Chubb. And because McGovern is still improving but looked promising, taking Nelson over Chubb, even if you dismiss the positional argument, just strikes me as wrong.

I understand your position. You go more for the Madden, fun positions, rather then foundational positions that are needed to win. In Madden, a QB can spin around three times, hurdle two rushers, get outside the pocket and throw a 50 yard shot to a receiver in triple coverage and it be a completion. In the NFL, not so much.

No question that guards are rarely taken in the top five, or even top 10, because rarely do guards this good come out. When they do, they are picked in the top five or top 10, just like Nelson was.

Hopefully, Veldheer's injuries are behind him and he is a solid right tackle. The Broncos have had abysmal right tackle, worst in the league level, for several years. Hopefully, McGovern can play RG at a solid level, and we won't have all the interior pressure that we had last year, and it was a lot.

I'm excited about the Chubb pick, but Nelson was probably the right pick.

no guard is ever worth a top 5 pick if yiu have a top ranked Qb, LT or DE still on the board.

Case is the best of us.

I can't say I had noticed.

Anyway, I still think he's a transitioal player.

So many times last year, I heard "What a play!" and "What a throw!" for Keenum. Which
makes me wonder why he was not selected for the Pro Bowl. He actually outplayed those
who were.

There is something to be said for a hardworking person who doesn't give up. He is not hard to work for.

I heard Case Keenum was so good on his first day running the Broncos' 11-man offense today, it was like the defense was not even there.

The article says the defense wasn't there.

I would have been very worried if Keenum had thrown three picks to defense that wasn't even on the field.

TS would have found a way to throw a pick 6.

Ah come on Rick, even Siemian could do that.
