Barkley’s gonna be a Brown at 4.
You guys are gonna get either Cutler2 or Tebow2 at 5. [Reply]

He could go 1, 2, 3, or 4. Gettleman has said over and over again that he thinks Eli can still play and Jim Irsay said he wants the Colts to draft a RB. [Reply]
The Cardinals will have a little more cap space than Denver will with Palmer's contract going away. They have said that they're going to be active in the veteran QB market. [Reply]
I don't think the Broncos will get into a bidding war for Cousins. I'm guessing that yes, the Broncos will try to address the QB position before the draft, allowing them to then draft BPA at 5 or trade down. I'm guessing that Barkley will definitely be gone by 5. However, a player like Chubb or Fitzpatrick will probably be there. If the Broncos take either one of these players, that will really help the defense. Rumor has it that the Broncos would not be apposed to drafting Nelson at five too, as that will immediately help the interior offensive line and consequently, the run game.
All of this is predicated on the Broncos taking care of the QB position before the draft. One more thing: the Broncos still have two young QBs on their roster, Lynch and Kelly. Say what you want about Lynch, but he's still a project, and Kelly is a complete unknown at this time. My suspicion is that the Broncos just assume keeping Lynch and Kelly and not spending a high draft pick on a rookie QB, at least, not in the first round. [Reply]
I’d laugh if the Broncos drafted Mayfield. That QB room would be hilarious. Mayfield and Kelly would spend all day talking about the bitches they fucked and comparing who is the bigger douche. All while Paxton Lynch stubs his toe on the desk and is out for 6 weeks. Then the camera pans out and you see Siemian peeking into the window with a solitary tear running down his cheek. [Reply]
