Then you have VJ saying "Paxton can just relax and not worry about the starting job"...I was like WTF? He should be the most worried MF on that roster...his ineptness just embarrassed the GM and cost them $36 million for an average replacement. This is his 3rd season...
Truth is, Horseface's crappy cap management had to reach out to Miller to create space...and the only reason Lynch in on the roster is because the final 2 years accelerate against the 2018 cap if he's cut. They cant afford to cut him...which is hilarious.
Sutton was drafted with only one thought in mind...relief from Demaryius Thomas's 16.5 salary in 2019. That whole draft was about replacing expensive players...not getting better. Their fans ate it up like the gullible suckers they are...I would be pissed if I were a fan of that team. [Reply]
Yup, they didn't upgrade a SINGLE position this offseason. Just tried to replace draft busts and aging, overpaid players. I even have heard Von is declining so fast that is why Chubb was used to piss away a top 5 pick. [Reply]

Sutton was drafted because he was a steal and the Broncos had a first round grade on him. The Cowboys wanted him as the replacement for Dez, but the Broncos got him first, Broncos are super deep at the WR position and this draft made it even better. [Reply]

Sooo...you are "deeper" at positions that weren't an issue last season? Donks were 30th in sacks allowed and have had their starting QB injured 3 years in a row...but let's draft 2 WRs?
Your O-line still sucks and a major reason why they are terrible on offense...two new WRs arent going to matter that much.
That draft was bizarre...and the LG would have helped your entire team more than Chubb.
Trust me...I loved Horseface's draft. Almost completely neglected everything that is wrong with the roster...
A 5-11 team inst in a luxury position to double down on positions of strength...they are picking #5 because they have major deficiencies in multiple areas.
It read like they want cheaper replacements for Ray, Anderson, Talib, Thomas and ultimately Sanders...unfortunately those are some the teams best players...and expecting equal results from a single rookie class is wishful. If the Donks almost break even..it would be one of the best hauls in NFL history. [Reply]
It's an Elway draft, Op. None of those players are anything special. Chubb will be decent, but it makes Ray and Barrett draft busts. THREE high picks made to replace a declining Von. [Reply]

Do you also believe in Santa? OR just sharing the bottle with KnowMo?
He was mainly drafted as a cost -saving measure against high vet salaries. Not a bad plan for the future because Mr. Ed has proven without a doubt that he can't draft QB's for shit, and the Last Place Denver Broncos will need to save $$$ someplace with players on rookie deals because they will end up paying out the ass for a good FA Vet QB after Keenum leads them to a couple more last place finishes. [Reply]
Denver lost Cody Latimer and Benny Fowler in free agency and have needed a reliable third target in the passing game ever since Julius Thomas and Wes Welker left.
Are the Broncos hoping Sutton and Hamilton will be the heirs to DT and Sanders? Yes. But they'll also fill a major need this year. [Reply]
