Two years ago the team took needs over BPA and it didn't work out so great (just see Bolles). Last year they went BPA and Denver had one of the best drafts ever. There's a lot of talent coming out this year, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Denver desperately needs a young QB but trading up or taking one at the 10 spot would be a HUGE reach. I'd roll the dice on the 2020 QB's.
I think you are putting Waaaaaay too much stock in the SB practices. They practice for like a week an throwing to guys who they have never thrown too before. The timing, the learning of the offense...All within 1 week time. Come on. Its the SB. What are you going to do when you draft a player. Go off of their years of tape which typically shows, consistently, the type of player they are.....or......are you going to base it off of 3 days at practice. Some of which were in typhoon type weather?
Did we judge our new players after 3 days of training camp? How about Roby getting torched repeatedly by manning. Tank Ronnie hillman being starter only to be benched for game 1 when knowshon had only like 3 carries all of TC and pre season?
The QB class here is really really good. I remember the last few QBs to light up the Senior Bowl.
Vince Young
Johnny manziel
They are both on your side.
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
