If they got to two and didn't get Rosen, it would upset me.

Mayfield has a lot more arm talent than McCoy did.

Who was the better pocket passer in your estimation.

I can’t say for sure, but I am confident in saying he couldn’t push the ball down the field like Mayfield can. It contracts the field for the defense when a guy can’t push the ball down the field.

I do not know. I dont. I hate this years draft. I am so torn.


On one hand, I do like Chad Kelly a fair amount and would like to see what he has. So a trade up would be bad.
On another hand, I would love to trade down with the bills or someone. We need a T in the worst way. Getting a T and a LB or someone...There are many good options here.
On (someone elses hand) I think Rosen is by far and away the best QB in this draft. So, if we want a QB of the future he is the guy to me. And to get him we would need to move up to do so.
On (someone elses other hand) I would be ok with Mayfield if he landed to us at 5. I do not want to burn picks to move up. I really want a RB and TE and LB and T from this draft. We have the picks to do so, but not if we move up.

After all of that babbling- If Rosen is the guy, and they see him like I do, yes I would trade up for him. (I think) I hate this draft. Soooo many good players and so many needs to fill. Yes. I have talked myself into it. Trade up for Rosen.

Any QB who gives Elway the vapors is good enough for me. If he doesn't want any of them or trades down, I'm okay with that too. Just get us some players that will put us back on top.

my brain wants us to trade back. . . my heart wants us to draft nelson so i can watch him mash fools for the next 15 years. . .

For me its like this. Id be happy with any of these players or combo of these players


Rosen
Mayfield
Chubb
Minkah
Mglichney
Hernandez
Nelson
Vea
Derwin
Roquan
the big white LB (whatever his name is- mini urlacher)
Barkley
Geuce
Michel

If we got Rosen I would be a happy person.

Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.

I appreciate what we have properly.

Or at least the first 5 and then he’ll price himself out of our range and become a 3rd round comp pick.

come on, buddy! i know you don't want him, and that's fine. . . but if a guard is gonna price himself out of our range, what do you think will happen with a quarterback or pass rusher?

If the pick is Mayfield and he doesn't succeed, it's won't have anything to do with him being 6'1".

Elway will value those guys...unless a career backup in an ideal situation does slightly above average. Then all bets are off!
