Oh...well, I wouldn't want to work with Irsay either...
I thought what Elway did here was the right move. Get a trade in place, but the guy you like is there so nix the trade. Personally, I wouldn't have traded the pick in any way since by pick 3, Chubb and Rosen were there.
Rosen will be the best QB of this draft followed by Lamar Jackson.
Haters gonna gate.
Phillip Rivers filed his retirement paperwork immediately following the 5th pick in the draft yesterday evening. When media caught up with him he was huddled in small ball, sucking his thumb and mumbling something that sounded like...no murder me, no von, no chubbs, no.
Well, then accepting the job in the first place might have been... inadvisable?
Yeah. Smart.
But Nelson was also there... and if you aren't looking at a QB, then I have no idea why Nelson wouldn't have been picked... I would have been irritated to see Elway trade back and lose Nelson... especially if you know your oline sucks balls.
But I guess it all depends on what was being offered.
I agree with all of this. All along I wanted either Nelson or Chubb. The Broncos need to strengthen both the OL and DL and they got the consensus best defensive player in the entire NFL draft."Broncos country, you should be rejoicing this morning with Bradley Chubb as your first round pick. They got a generational talent. We will watch the careers of Josh Allen and Josh Rosen to see how they compare, but the team clearly feels they are in a window to compete now. And Chubb wasn't supposed to be there, and they grab him because the Browns are really, really stupid. A poorly run franchise. Someone really needs to help out the Browns because they are beyond pathetic in the way they are drafting now with those first round picks.
No QB was rated higher than Bradley Chubb, none of them, not even Josh Rosen, I know about the attitude problems, but he was my #1 Qb on the board. No QB was worth taking at #5. None of them. So, they get a generational talent and one who will be ready to step in and make an immediate impact.
And I think once we see Chubb out there terrorizing QBs some people will come around [to this point of view]." - Cecil Lammey.
And there was serious speculation the Browns wanted to take him #1 overall, but were stymied in doing so because of the Jets move up to #3 where they were poised to take Baker Mayfield.
Then when they are on the Board at #4, the Broncos are all set to move back. THey had a deal lined up with Buffalo to move back to allow the Bills to move up to #5 and grab Josh Allen. Only Cleveland's pick of Denzel Ward, the best CB on the board, but a little guy, left Chubb available for the Broncos. And Elway immediately cancelled the deal and grabbed Chubb.
I don't even know how that actually happened. Chubb and Barkley were both supposed to be off the board at #5, and there he was.
