- John Elway“When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
White, Haskins, Lock or trade back. We can help our team soooooo much if we gain early picks in this draft. I really like Risner and the 3 big TEs if my top 3 aren't around. Wouldn't be mad if we got the Sooner Guard or Michigan MLB either if we trade back.
We get Risner and Irv Smith or Fant and we are a much better team immediately.
https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/j...e-of-free-agenOn the offensive side, Elway and Fangio see James as a player who could potentially fill a void at the right tackle position.
“Like I said, we think he’s a perfect system fit for us,” Elway said. “He’s had five great years down there in Miami, but [we] really think he can solidify that right tackle [position] and that’s our expectation.”
Added Fangio: “[He’s a] good athlete with length and size to him, and I like that he’s in the middle of his career. I think he’s got the chance to be a Bronco for a long time.”

I have no clue as to the validity of this, but curious what our local football junkies think:
Report: Dolphins 'laughing' at Broncos for signing Ja'Wuan James
https://247sports.com/nfl/denver-bro...mes-130244536/
how can the dolphins be laughing at anyone?
They are the dolphins.
Apparently Dolphins fans are denying the validity of it.

Talking s*** about our players as soon as they walk out the door...a timeless Dolphins traditionGuessing they're desperate for fans to have the perception that the FO did the right thingWho are these "some in Miami", considering we've just had a regime change in the coaching room and there's no around of any real authority who've had hands-on experience coaching James??
Secondly, we've had a LONG LIST of questionable OLinemen in Miami who've required assistance on nearly EVERY passing down since James was drafted by us, but I don't remember (having actually watched the games) that James was ever one of them, other than when he was up against a real stud pass-rusher. Think Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner, Steen, Urbik, Douglas, Bushrod, as well as Sterup and Young in 2018 -- all those guys needed assistance on every down basically. And before James showed up we had some complely disastrous tackles like Jason Fox and Tyson Claybo (<shivers>), and a few other fill-ins who were nearly all absolutely terrible!Broncos current assistant O-line coach is our former assistant O-line coach (Chris Kuper). I imagine if there were any truth to this bulls****, he would have sounded the alarm bells.I'm not real worried about it. Kuper knows him, he'd be well aware if it was as bad as the spin is claiming.seems pretty sensationalist. he might not be the best RT in the game today, but he's far from the worst. he's a good tackle, and there aren't a lot of those out there.
I have to think Kuper, who is familiar with him, and Munchak were consulted on this before it happened. So, I'm not too worried.
To be honest I think walterfootball.com has a valid take on the signing:

Broncos sign OT Ja'Wuan James (4 years, $52 million): B+ Grade
There have been many foolish big-money signings today, but this is definitely not one of them. The Broncos made a terrific move in acquiring Ja'Wuan James even though they'll be paying him more than any other right tackle in the NFL.
James was the 18th-ranked player in my Top 100 NFL Free Agents list, and he plays a very important position. He also provides a huge, much-needed upgrade on the offensive line. The Broncos had horrible play at right tackle last year, and this signing will change that.
A couple of other things to consider: James is just 26 (27 in June), so he still has plenty of time to improve his overall game. James has been stellar at times for the Dolphins, though not so much last year because of a strained patellar tendon. He should be 100 percent by training camp, so he figures to perform on a high level once again for his new team.
This signing won't be in the "A" range because it's not a bargain, but I think a B+ is certainly warranted.
