Aaron here,
Let’s lighten up the topic and look into some positives. Major weakness touched on briefly is right tackle. Who are some players on the roster who could be a suprise quality starter? Free Agent possibilities? Realistic Trades? Or Draft pick? And what move would you do to fill that position?

No kidding…..we haven’t had such a downtrodden podcast opening since the end of the season. Way to bring us back to reality Ryan and Zac!

But I still love listening to you guys!

So now the big thought in multiple sources is that the bills may move to the 6th spot in the Draft from the colts. What do you think would be better? bills moving to 6 thinking the BRONCOS are not going to pick a QB or if they move to 4 because they want to make sure they get the QB and not the BRONCOS? If the bills jump to 4, then that almost ensures Barkley will fall to 5 (I don’t think the giants will pass on a replacement QB). Can’t wait for the Draft. As free agency goes by and the more movement there is in the Draft order, the more I don’t know what the BRONCOS are going to do (which is GREAT for the organization and not so much for us fans!). I will definitely be happy with Barkley or Nelson at 5 IF the Broncos don’t get Mayfield as a future QB.

I am glad you talked about the Broncos floor in this podcast. All the hype you have been bringing on Keenum sort of brought us away from what the Broncos STILL need to work on in the lineup. Keenum does need protection in order to have a chance to be they player he was last year. Can he prove us wrong…..maybe, but one year out of 6 is not enough to truly make me feel comfortable that he is at the level the Broncos need to be.

As always, great podcast and I am glad I chose to put my money towards you guys out of all the different Broncos sources on the internet.

Also a suggestion. Ryan, you said you wanted to start the notebook in order to get subscribers to have another avenue to chat with each other and the staff. Can you put a separate link in the team menu to get to some sort of chat room so that we wont have to scroll and find the particular notebook article as more and more articles are written?

Giants are definitely taking a QB I reckon so I really want the Bills to jump to 4th to guarantee us Barkley.

The thought of us not taking a QB is driving me crazy! I’m having the same nightmare on repeat, Broncos are on the clock and Mayfield is still available. Goodell walks up to the podium and says, “with the 5th pick in the 2018 NFL draft the Denver Broncos select, Quenton Nelson offensive guard Notre Dame! I then proceed to curse and throw things! #draftAQB #MayfieldtoDenver

If the right QB is still left at 5 then I agree it will be hard to pass up, but there is so much Denver needs to fix on the lineup and Keenum seems to be (at least short term) a fix at QB. Questionable still. But to pass up on Barkley, if available, or to shore up the O-line with Nelson is tough. If Will Hernandez from UTEP were guaranteed to be available at 40 then I would say pass on Nelson, but I believe Hernandez has worked himself to a late first round pick.

Yea I love the Will Hernandez kid. But like you said I doubt he is there at 40. I guess I just want a franchise changing guy. But I could get behind that pick if no QB is available

Hey guys

Andy from the UK here. I keep hearing a lot of negativity about how many holes the squad has, but with the available cap space can we not expect a trade for a tackle, say Ja’Wuan James, and also a trade for a tight end? Then if we used draft rounds 1 and 2 for a running back and guard in either order, then surely they’ll start too and that’s the starting line up pretty much fixed would you not agree? Then we could use the rest of the draft for depth and future prospects.

Maybe I’m being too optimistic with all that but just hating the negativity coming from all corners right now. What do you reckon?

By the way not suggesting you guys are negative just a lot of it out there right now. Love the show.

Thanks!

Hey Andy,

It really is not negativity when talking about the lineup. There are just positions that need to be shored up in order to help bring the team up. It would be great if the Broncos were to make some trades (such as tackle or tight end) but there really isn’t anyone in free agency that is worth the money they are asking for. Plus Elway seems to be playing a “smarter” business aspect when it is coming to free agency by not overspending for a player in a position that they are not really worth. There are teams out there doing just that (Rams and Raiders). We shall see if this works out for these teams or Elway.

Hopefully the Broncos won’t have to trade or spend a higher draft spot (rounds 1-3) for a TE because Jake Butt is going to break out this year after taking last season to heal.

GO BRONCOS!

Would love Jake Butt to step up! Here’s hoping.

P.S. I meant negativity from the media like Mile High Sports, Denver Post, NFL Network etc not the board. I agree and hope Elway doesn’t spend ridiculous amount so on half talent. Would like a tackle via trade though instead of the draft, we need one better than Watson to be starting.

Hi this is sam from mexico, everybody is freking out about not getting any free agents to denver, i think there are very few good free agents that were signed the onley one that made sense for the broncos was Solder but not at 15m a year, from the free agents that signed with other teams how would you have signed to the broncos including the contract they signed for.

Keep up the grate work

Hey Guys…Josh from Redwood City. I PROMISE to keep this one shorter than the last comment posted on Andre’s recent podcast, which was shorter than my previous call of a few weeks ago. Efficiency, Josh…efficiency!

Question – Seeing as we’re all a bit miffed in the front office’s lack of, shall I say, aggressiveness in FA…is this a clue as to where they’re going on draft day? Specifically, could this point to a trade down (John, Buffalo is on line 1) to add an extra 1 and another 2? Say we deal 5 for 12/22 and Buff’s #2…we go BPA at 12, we fill the TE hole with Goedert/Hurst at 22, and with our two 2’s we add a RB and a guard. This also affords us the opportunity to package 3’s and 4’s to move up, maybe even grab another #2 and add a right tackle.

Bottom line – seems like we’re making a concerted effort to save cap space instead of signing mediocre players with warts to fill holes…could this point to us knowing we have a trade back opportunity in the pocket, and thus will have ammo to fill all these holes with (hopefully) newer, younger, impact guys who have yet to grow warts?

So, I had 10 shots of espresso in my Starbucks this morning (yeah star rewards) and I have been at work since 5:30am. Probably why I have been on the comment section so much this morning. But I did have a random thought…maybe not so random with this group…has anyone, in Denver, tried the Jack-N-Grill’s 7lb Breakfast Burrito challenge?
