Thread: Joe Flacco is now a Bronco

Plug-in some better coaching in the defensive backfield another corner or two and a middle linebacker and this roster is built well as is on the defensive side of the ball. We need to pass catching tight ends a veteran receiver and more depth on the offensive line, but again there aren't the glaring holes that we had prior to Elway taking over. I just don't like the way he throws around draft picks like they don't mean anything

Therefore, you should be pleased with the Coaching change and a QB that isn't afraid to throw deep?

Confirming Joe Flacco was in Denver last week to undergo physical, (1st by AlbertBreer). I can add Flacco was inside Broncos HQers for physical and handshakes. Per NFL: A club can permit a player to visit another club to undergo a physical in regard to potential trade. #9sports

I wish he would just trade up for Haskins and end this charade.

No thanks. I'm confident Denver will draft a quarterback I just don't see it happening in the first two rounds.

Don't know if these have been posted or not, but decent reads.

Our options have not been awesome. And i rather not have the guy yet than be stuck with a guy that may not become one.
Ala Allen, Rosen or Jackson. If The broncos actually whiffed on a top 5 qb the the fallout would way worse than what we have now.
Elways biggest mistake was whiffing on Oz. Not really the 2nd round pick but the expecting he was going to be the guy for 4 years he was here the first time. That put everything else in motion. The most baffling of all decisions were around him.
Basically all other QB moves since have to been to patch that one.
I am totally behind the Flacco trade. It’s a no brainer. He’s better enough than Keenum to warrant a trade for a mid pick and he comes with no strings attached. Can’t for the life of me understand why people are that pissy about it.
Now if the broncos come out and say this is the guy from now on - we’ll then I would get it.

I pray You are wrong. I hope They get their guy as soon as humanly possible. 10th pick. Pretty please! Means that they love someone that much! And we need a top 10 NFL QB of the future. Not just a guy.

With the Denver Broncos making a trade for quarterback Joe Flacco, sending a fourth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange, their outlook for the 2019 NFL Draft has certainly changed.

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. is the first major mock draft expert to update their mocks to reflect this change. With the 10th overall pick, he bypassed quarterback Drew Lock in favor of LSU cornerback Greedy Williams.

10. Denver Broncos

Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

Yes, the Broncos traded for Joe Flacco, but they could still draft a quarterback high, even if it’s not in Round 1. Flacco has a team-friendly contract, and GM John Elway & Co. could still try to get their QB of the future. For now I’ll go with cornerback here, as the position is the team’s top need, especially with Bradley Roby likely to leave in free agency. There has been a lot of talk about Williams’ apparent allergy to tackling, but he can improve there in the NFL. And you don’t see pro-ready corners with his size (6-2, 180) and skill set often; he is a rare talent.

Is Mel Kiper ever right?

I suspect one of reasons that Denver is bringing in Flacco is because the guys at the top of the draft are not worth a top ten pick. In other words, I think this trade means Denver isn't looking to this draft to find their quarterback of the future. Taking a guy later isn't just taking a guy, but a guy they can develop into a back up quarterback. Hopefully it's a guy who won't criminally trespass and get himself beat up with vacuum hose. (The vacuum hose comment is borrowed from Buff)

Denver Broncos general manager John Elway made his decision. Right or wrong, Joe Flacco will be the starting quarterback once the proposed trade, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, with the Baltimore Ravens becomes official at the start of the league year.

Flacco's acquisition won't prevent the Broncos from adding a quarterback prospect, but the need to do so became less urgent. Denver is now Flacco's team. In order for the move to not become a complete disaster, the 34-year-old will need certain pieces around him.

The Broncos already feature two young and talented running backs in Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. Emmanuel Sanders, Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton form a solid wide receiver corps. Tight end is the missing piece.

I think he said the Colts would take Luck in 2012 draft other that, I can't think of anything else he's been right on.
