Thread: Draft Brett Rypien (or)

Bump from earlier discussion in Flacco thread.

Could def be coming to Denver now that Lock is out likely at 10 and they go after another QB in 2nd or 3rd Rd

Elway and Co. did meet with him after Shrine game

Why is Lock out? I must have missed something.

I cant see them Drafting Lock after Flacco with all the needs? Hey if they do, GREAT, but talent can be found in later rounds

I think the conventional wisdom is that since we got Flacco we won't draft a QB at 10

If lock is there at 10 I guarantee they draft him. They are not going to move up though.


I forsee a situation where Lock is gone before 10. We trade back a few spots w Miami or Washington maybe....And possibly one more time to load up on ammo for next year- and this year grab a CB. I see that.

This is what I think the Broncos will do as well. If Lock is gone I’d like to see them trade back. I see us drafting a mid to late round QB still

Maybe I doubt it. Trading for Flacco can but not necessarily mean that Elway likes Lock but doesn't think he'll fall all the way to the 10th pick. It can just as easily mean Elway isn't comfortable with Lock and or Haskins for that matter. I think the trade for Flacco means that Elway is looking to 2020 or 2021 for his quarterback of the future.

The second paragraph in your post I think is a real possibility. It may not necessarily be a corner but I see that happening.

While I do not disagree, and do 100% think a 2020 QB is the plan (herbert is my guess unless he bombs next year), we do know that:

Elway does indeed Love Lock!
Elway personally told Lock that he will be a top 10 pick this year.
So Elway does view lock as worthy of the 10 pick.


Buuuuuuuuuuuut, Elway nor the rest of us seem to think he will last to 10. From what I am hearing it is looking more and more likely that the giants are going haskins and that jags are a wild card, but Washington and Miami are both going to try and move into the top 10. Also, is seems like one of the playoff teams (chargers, pats, etc) is trying to feel out costs to move into range.

So, I agree that we will not get Lock. I agree Lock will go before 10 and I do agree with you that 2020 seems to be the target. However, if Lock does fall to 10, based on Elways infatuation with him and his direct quote to lock about being a top 10 pick, I think we would have another Bradley chubb situatiuon. They didnt expect him to be there and will pull the trigger if so.

This is where I stand right now as well. I don’t think we trade up for a QB....but if lock is in our lap at 10 i think we pull that trigger......if not then i think CB, OL or a BPA is in play.....i have said all along i love the position were in because we could potentially land a Franchise QB(which is a need) or a blue chip defensive player. I was more worried about last years draft then this one...I only believed in Mayfield last year, and was still not even a big fan of Darnold. Once Cleveland Picked Mayfield i thought we were screwed. I had zero inkling Chubb would make it to our pick....it worked out great but i had far more concern last year about what would happen then this year....luckily the top 5 picks pretty much all panned out very well....i love some of the options for us at 10....a bunch of them fill needs and are blue chip prospects...you cant predict the future but our standing at 10 feels pretty good right now to get a impact player to fill a need. Wether that’s lock as a future franchise guy, a CB, A tackle, or a DL player...were sitting pretty....lets just hope we don’t draft a TE at 10 though that would piss me off more then trading for Flacco....lol

I just wish Elway had the stones for trade up for Haskins.

He has the stones, Baskin Haskins isnt worth it tho.

Paxton Lynch took Elway's manhood.

Why are you sold on Haskins

He had a great season in spite of a lot of adversity. He's clearly a physical talent, but he doesn't run much and is a pocket passer. His accuracy was top notch. His leadership skills were high. He didn't shrink in big games. He basically checked every box except playing a second season.
