Thread: Draft Brett Rypien (or)

Grier, Thorson, Lock, also names to keep in mind for late rd 1 early rd 2 at this point. Thorson has battled hard with no surrounding talent against a couple elite college defenses. Lock is playing well and just upset Florida, and Grier’s 4th quarter comeback last weekend was a thing of beauty. All 3 have NFL skill sets.

As for rypien I think scouts will be just as split on him as draftniks....but he def has some talent to be a top 5 Qb in this class.

The draft apparently does not hold much either. The following year it looks pretty good I am told.

My hope is we land a top 5 pick this year. Move back and gain an extra 1st. to the 10s/early teens...Then move back one more time to mid/late teens and gaining another extra first while we draft a T, ILB, DT, CB.......Then next year- we have a few first rd picks to move up to grab Herbert, or TUa or whomever is a good QB (I do not know any of them)

With that list keenum is the better option, but I wouldn’t mind checking out bridgewater....

This year is really weak for QB class IMO. Right now the highest ranked is considered #10 overall.

Tired of chasing this project QBs with high ceiling and really low floor.

What's the solution, though? There's no top-flight quarterback available next year. You have to try your hand in the draft when you don't have one.

Keenum is better than Flacco, Bradford, Carr, Eli and Bridgewater?

How do you figure? Please show your work.

Flacco is definitely better.

Bradford is injury prone.

Carr is more attractive.

Eli is washed.

Bridgewater is cheaper, and not a whiny POS, so I'd rather cross the bridge.

Eli could be 50 and still be a better QB, Carr isn’t even debatable, We’re not talking about Bradford’s injuries and the possibility of Bridgewater playing was the reason Zimmer refused to stroke Keenum’s ego.

Eli is just horrible.

Carr is better.

Bradford's injuries are a part of him.

Zimmer isn't going to kiss the ass of a scrub. Because Zimmer is a man.

I didn’t say Eli wasn’t terrible. Or horrible.

If your talking pure football skillset then my statement is not entirely correct. If your talking based off what we have seen the last coupe years, then I feel I'm correct.

Bradford cant stay healthy nor throw past 10 yards now. Carr is a crybaby and lost his team already. Flacco is probably the closest to Keenum with a better arm, but he isn't a leader either, and is probably going to lose time to Lamar Jackson here shortly. Bridgewater is legit in my opinion but we have no real proof of where he is at for the last couple years. So its more my opinion then actual fact but there is enough evidence with those others players to have concern with them. I would rather draft a top rookie to compete with Keenum, then look at any of those with the exception of bridgewater.

Look I'm not saying Keenum is amazing, but when he is put in a offense or given play calls that suit his skillset he does well, the Texans game was finally proof of that. I have suspected most of the year was a combination of him forcing himself to look like the guy, and making stupid decisions, crap play calling, and a knee issue. I'm not willing to say I was right after just 1 game, but I suspect all of our issues the last 2 years are more coaching related then player related to include TS, OZ and Case Keenum. Only true waste of a player was lynch, aint no coach helping that dude lol

I would rather find a vet stop gap and get a team contributer in round 1 and 2 and a project is round 3.

Stop wasting picks when there are so many holes. For 1 fix the OL so you can have an average vet stay upright.

If you have to trade the farm for the right QB in top 5 then do it. Move up for right guy don't reach for these projects.

Right now I would take Bridgewater and Carr over keenum. I would like Bridgewater to come in next year to compete and don't draft a QB.

We have a vet stop gap, in Keenum. Why would we need another one?

The answer isn’t a veteran like Derek Carr/Jameis Winston, it isn’t a highly skilled rookie (or two) and it isn’t a Fitzmagic-type veteran/QB groomer.

The answer is All Of The Above.

Quit ******* around and fix something already.

Paul Klee hit the nail on the head today, the Broncos’ FO needs to be humbled ... they’re arrogant. Going with TS and CK is just arrogant, you’re not “All That” and you never were.

Chello made another great point; Elway and Kubiak are on the podium after SB50 and Kubiak says something to the effect of “we can win any way we want” ... that’s Kubiak’s mentality with QB’s (and OL), that’s always been his mentality and it always will be, he needs to accept that he’s not shopping for himself anymore and give the next OC/HC regime a fighting ******* chance.
