Denver's 2024 George Paton Draft/FA plan
Draft
RD1- TE Brock Bowers, GA
RD3- QB Spencer Rattler, SC
RD4- CB Josh Newton, TCU
RD5- S Reggie Pearson, OK
RD5- C Michael Jurgens, Wake Forest
RD6- K Jonah Dalmas, Boise St
FA
1. With what money
My take on this is that Paton isn't super high on Lock, but doesn't see most of the QBs who have moved this offseason as being that much better, so he's sniffed around to see who he could get on the cheap, but isn't going to overpay for someone who might not be that much better of an option than Lock. I really wouldn't be surprised at all if he's trying to move up in the draft at this point.
Yes, I appreciate that he's taking an opportunistic approach... That beats overpaying for guys like Case Keenum and Joe Flacco because you're panicked...
At this point it seems like drafting a QB is getting more and more likely - whether it's a 1st rounder or second day guy.
I see zero chance we bring in Teddy at that contract number. That would have to get reworked.
Every day it seems more and more like the intent is to try to get a QB in the draft and keep tabs on veteran options in the event we fail. And quite honestly, I think it's one of the top 5 or bust. Nothing after that really moves the needle enough to provide competition or hope for the future.
This is my take too. There isn’t one left that is appreciably better than Lock. My guess is that Paton was originally all in on Watson until the legal troubles. Still might be. Don’t feel he plans to move up either. Just stick with Drew this season and stack the defense. If Watson becomes available later, then he’ll try and get him.

i tend to think they'd like to get one of the top QB prospects if they can, and i'm not sure how to feel about it. . . i totally understand the appeal of adding talent at the most important position, but i don't love the way it's setting up. . . IMO, if they take a rook (other than possibly lance), it's almost inevitable that they'll end up forcing him into the lineup by the end of october. . . and if they don't win-- which is pretty much par for the course with rookie QBs, see herbert and burrow last year-- they'll end up firing fangio, and the whole retarded OC carousel will spin yet again, and they'll bungle the kid's development. . . i kinda feel like paton should connect lock and fangio at the hip-- let 'em sink or swim together. . . give drew a legit shot to develop, and hold off on drafting another QB until you're ready to pair him with a new head coach. . . it's better to get those two on the same timeline, instead of constantly changing significant parts every single off-season. . .

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.”
