Thread: Broncos sign T JaWuan James

Very frustrating, but wishing for Elway to be better at drafting line talent wouldn't make it so. Now the hope is to add good linemen and hope coaching can make them great, I guess. If I loved the OL talent at the top of this draft it would be a different thing, I guess, but I'd rather see Denver not reach for an OT again and blow it again. They needs wins in this draft, so hopefully this is a win in FA that lets Denver score a real talent and not a bust early.

Maybe we’ll stop blaming the offensive line for poor quarterback play.

Lol, they both have sucked.

Anyone listen to Orlando on the fan? He's actually pretty damn good!

That is one of the scariest looking men I've ever seen. I loved having him on the team, big *******!

I always expected him to sound angry. He didn't though.

He's soft spoken and pretty knowledgeable. I was surprised.

It's that lazy eye. Makes him look mean as heck!

Was hoping we'd deal with this particular hole in the draft (mainly because this team has whiffed -so- badly with previous stabs at fixing the o-line in FA) - but maybe this will allow drafting in later rounds and letting Munchak work his magic with rawer talent for depth / the future ...

Most important for me is how they answer the question 'can I trust this guy?' Orlando says some obvious shit, but I feel like he's got my back. If that makes sense.

Plus I love how family-focused Orlando is. Seems like a genuine good dude with a healthy perspective on the violence of football and life itself.

They both have sucked yes. For years now they have sucked so badly. Since Peyton retired at least, and really before that. Peyton used to self-sack so it wasn't so glaring but yes, the OL has been terrible for years.

It just made me mad listening to him. He wanted to stay in Denver, and told his agent when he got a deal from the Chargers for more money, that he would take less to remain in Denver. The agent called Elway who told him "there's no offer here in Denver." They were all in on signing Donald Stephenson for a lot more money. We all know how brilliantly that worked out.

Elway signed Stephenson for $14 million over 3 years in 2016. Franklin signed with the Chargers for $36 million over 5 years and $20 million guaranteed in 2015...

Granted, Stephenson was terrible - but the deals weren't really close, let alone "a lot more money."

So now white and lock are the choices at 10 which OT and CB holes filled.

Hockenson is my sleeper pick at 10

I could see that, but I would be pretty upset if a franchise QB was there and we passed for a TE....We can have Kelce 2.0 all day but if we cant fix QB it wont matter. Also heard Detroit has interest in him as well as Buffalo....good for him if he goes that high....
