Bolles was going to save their o-line this time last year "he's nasty and plays with a mean streak"...fast forward to 2018..he wasn't even re-drafted in the 1st round. :-)
The hope of the draft...I take it with a grain of salt until I actually see them play at the NFL level. [Reply]

You guys seemed to have got a bunch of STers and a backup DT who is just a run stuffing body. Loved the wasted pick to move up to get a pass rusher. Epic.
Just curious. Chubb never got more than 10 sacks in a season in college. What makes you think that he's going to do it in the NFL? [Reply]

Chubb isn't going to be an instant 10+ sack guy.
And why is moving up to draft 'the most underrated' defensive pass rusher in the second a bad pick? [Reply]
Shane Ray 1st rounder...bust..Chubb desperation pick
Paxton Lynch 1st rounder...bust...20 million to a bottom tier QB
Cody Larimer 2nd round...bust...piss away a second on a WR
Montee Ball, Hillman, and others..bust...waste a third on a depth RB
Bradley Roby...bust...Another pick spent to compensate
Thomas, Sanders...old...Another high pick wasted
Jake Butt...bust...forced to take another TE
If Elway hadn't had a poor draft record, you could have really cleaned up on a deep draft. Instead...a bunch of picks geared towards fixing past mistakes as you fall further behind KC and LA [Reply]

It's true that these picks are correcting past mistakes. But that doesn't discount the fact that they are indeed much better picks than ElFraud usually makes. I also wouldn't call Butt a bust just yet. He just hasn't had a chance to play yet. Kelce wasn't able to play as a rookie due to injury either. He certainly wasn't a bust. And fixing those mistakes will go a long way towards making them competitive again, which is really all that they can ask for given how bad they were last year. [Reply]
It's pretty obvious what Horseface is attempting to do...He signed a 2 year placeholder QB and drafted literally all replacements. Chubb=Ray, Freeman=Anderson, Sutton=Thomas, Yiadom=Talib, Hamilton=Sanders.
He knows they are screwed with VJ too...He's attempting a post-Manning rebuild, shedding a bloated cap, and will let his 2019 HC choose the future QB.
I cant say it's a bad strategy...that team is ****ed for a few years. [Reply]
Vance Joseph: Bradley Chubb is a strong-side linebacker, so he’ll be in the LBs room, not the DL room (Von Miller, weakside LB, is with the D-linemen).
John Elway on what not taking a QB in this draft says about their belief in Paxton Lynch: “We’re not kicking him to the curb. We still think he can develop.” #Broncos
