Doesn't have a starting caliber QB? Keenum was the 7th highest rated passer in the league last year and led Minnesota to the NFCCG. Keenum has to prove he can do it again but he was pretty consistent last year.
Yes, teams have found gems in the later rounds, but there's no guarantee you will. Denver drafted Booker, Hillman, and Ball and none of them turned into that day two gem you guys are talking about. Why keep wasting 2nd and 3rd rounders trying to find a RB when the best RB to come out in years could be there?
Look at how quickly the Cowboys, Saints, Jags, and Panthers turned around after adding Zeke, Kamara , Fournette, and McCaffery. All of those teams went from from picking in the top 11, to making the playoffs after drafting their RB's. [Reply]

Good point.
Elway needs all the help he can get. In no way should you guys trade down.
You could have had the leading rusher in the NFL last year in the third round and he managed to screw it up (as usual). [Reply]

Alex Smith stats blah stats blah efficient blah. Keesum isn’t what you should want in a starter. Anyone with 2 eyes and 1/4 of a brain can see that. Noodle arm, and carried by the best defense in football.
And Kamara wasn’t picked high, blowing your point. Would the Saints be better with the other RB’s taken last year and skipping the guy they got in round 1?
You build a team around QB, DE and LT. Elway’s an aging DE, an Ivy League LT and someone else’s backup QB. Adding an RB to build the franchise on makes as much sense as what he did to build a team capable of earning a top 5 pick. [Reply]
It’s all about situations, and Denver’s is not good.
Keenum had as good of a situation in Minnesota as nearly every QB and he still only threw 22 TD’s in 15 games. He sure as hell isnt walking into a good situation like that in Denver.
Saquon Barkley would help a lot, but Denver still has a bad OL, old receivers and no proven TE.
There’s tons of question marks scattered throughout Denver’s offense. [Reply]

:-) Sorry KnowShit. Dungver doesn't have 3 good OLB's VonDouchebag is pretty good. Barrett is okay, and Ray is Dee Ford. I guess by your standards, KC has 3 good OLB's in Houston, KPassa, and Ford. We don't have any need there either. [Reply]

He threw for 22 TDs...and was only in the NFCCG because of a fantasy-land desperation pass. Quit acting like he was some great QB...he wasn't. He just didnt **** up...well, until he played the Eagles when it mattered.
The dude is a place holder..basically because every one of Horseface's QB picks have failed. He was signed to keep you out of last place...he's not going to suddenly become a great QB. He's serviceable.. [Reply]
