Broncos need Lynch to show something while getting the 1st or 2nd pick (behind SF) so they can get an RGIII haul from Browns. Their wannabe moneyball FO is losing sway with that corrupt owner after their sabatoge of the McCarron deal.
Knock on wood.......

Tankathon has us with the number six pick in the draft next year, with our next opponent the Bengals at number five. Not too shabby ...
I'd be stoked if we can get as high as 2-3......
When all is said and done I think it will be:
1: Browns
2: Giants
3: Broncos
4: 49ers
I think with this freefall it is possible we don't win again and I think the 49ers might just net a few more wins, especially when they get the new QB out there.
What is wrong with drafting a QB after the top round? Because nearly ALL QBs taken in the 2nd or later round are busts, that's why!
Just take a look at this!
2016:
After Goff and Wentz went 1-2: Paxton Lynch- #26, Christian Hackenberg, #51, Jacoby Brisett, Cody Kessler, Connor Cook. . . Dak Prescott would be the only other QB taken who was any good
2015:
Who looks good? Winston and Mariotta, 1-2. Who doesn't? Everybody else: Garrett Grayson, Sean Mannion, Bryce Petty, Brett Hundley Trevor Siemian
Every year there's maybe 1 or 2 QBs not taken in the first round who aren't terrible. But, nobody can predict which guy this will be. 32 Teams passed on Dak Prescott 3 times and most 4.
So, not only are the odds against you but guessing wrong sets back your franchise for at least 2 seasons. Just as the Broncos wasted 2 seasons because Elway and the coaching staff wanted Trevor Siemian as the starter and Elway didn't go out and get an actually GOOD QB.
So, the team falls apart and goes 5-11. The Broncos are 1 more year of QB futility away from becoming just another LOSING franchise.
Will they become like the pathetic Raiders - losing every year, while still bragging about their last championship season in 1983 when Marcus Allen was the MVP?
Once you have a couple of losing seasons back to back, you have officially replaced the culture of winning with a culture of losing. And losing is contagious. It breeds more losing. Just ask Detroit and Cleveland. Just ask the Raiders how hard that is to recover from!
You forget the Colts, who just lost to the 49ers, probably on purpose. They look to be trying to secure the #1 overall pick. If so, it would be a move to get a QB and trade Andrew Luck.
And before you get excited, there is just ZERO chance that Jim Irsay is going to trade Luck to the Broncos. None whatever after watching the Broncos win the SB with Peyton while the Colts wander the wastelands of futility. That hurt! They aren't risking that again!
Besides the Broncos will probably win 1 or 2 more meaningless games. Possibly 3. They play a few bad teams - Colts, Jets, Dolphins, and Redskins, all teams with losing records, only the Chiefs have a winning record.
Of course they are capable of losing to all of them, but so are those teams! The Broncos are bound to run into a team trying harder to lose than them, and with less talent.

I've seen you mention the Colts losing to the 49ers in a number of threads. You misread something somewhere.
Colts lost to the Steelers.
49ers beat the Giants.
Good article in Forbes about draft efficiency. https://www.forbes.com/sites/prishe/.../#5754322268de
Looks like round 2 and 3 are much more important than most think.
