Elway trading up for a WR when he can probably get a top 3 guy at 15 would be hilarious.

The Broncos are trying to copy us. Literally.

Drafted Fant to try to get an athletic TE like Kecle.
Drafted Lock with a strong arm who tried to make offschedule throws at the Senior Bowl like Mahomes.
Brought in Pat Shurmur, an Andy Reid disciple, to run a similar offense.

Now they are trying to trade up to get Ruggs to be their Tyreek Hill.

Nice to see our rival in full desperation mode trying so badly to be us LMAO

I'm not an expert on the Bronco roster, but shouldn't they really be looking to replace Bolles with their first pick? I mean, go get your receiver Elway. Never mind that Lock won't have time to hit him deep downfield.....

Wait, so a team trying to get a top TE and a strong QB or a speedy WR is copying KC?

Depending on the Mock - neither of the top 3 will be there at 15. Who knows what will really happen, but I'd rather them trade down in R1 and then up in R2 - two picks in the 22-38 range.

If one of the top OTs were to fall to them at 15, I'd be all over it, I think. Lots of good OL options in the first 3 rounds.

They need to find a replacement for Bolles, who is terrible. Mostly because while Drew Lock has potential, he's not Pat and he certainly won't be anything like Pat for at least one or two more seasons. And this draft is deep in WRs; Elway can afford to wait a round before drafting one.

But if he doesn't do something about his OL it won't really matter who he drafts as a WR, Lock won't have time to hit the guy with Bolles at LT.

The Raiders have Mike Mayock drafting for them. He doesn't like trading up. I think he will take BPA and he thinks there are great WR available in the first 3 rounds.

He will sit and wait for a WR to drop to his draft position or he will trade back.

They’ll both get starting receivers R1... sucks to see but just the way it’s gonna go. Good think the Chiefs are rock solid in the secondary for the most part and can dominate along the LOS.

If KC counters with a starting CB too, all the better.

Honestly I don't think Lamb is 1st round worthy.

Not necessarily, but you can bet that Denver sure as hell is, especially if Ruggs is the target. I find it very satisfying and funny that Elway is trying to copy the team that owns Denver. Gotta try something different, because what he's been doing certainly isn't working. LMAO

Well that remains to be seen and Ferrell could turn out to be a great pick as it's to soon to judge. Ferrell had as many sacks as Mack did his first year. If he didn't draft him at #4 he wasn't going to get him and he probably wasn't able to trade back.

He did draft Max Crosby in the 4th round. Crosby was the rookie DPOY runner up.

Obviously Mayock is going to do what he thinks is best and not what the pundits say is best. Thus the Ferrell pick.

To who? Each other and Jeudy? I said “top 3” moron.

This draft is loaded at WR. If you’re going to sit at 15 and take whichever of those top 3 makes it to your pick then fine, but trading up for Ruggs when you have a lot of other needs is overly aggressive and not the best value.

Especially when you might still be able to get your guy at 15. They don’t know which one the Raiders like. Those 3 guys are all very close.

Depends who is doing the evaluating. I don't think Ruggs is a comparable talent to Jeudy.

I think Jeudy is a #1 WR in the NFL and Ruggs will be a nice vertical #2..like a Will Fuller.

Exactly. They’re trading up for the guy that’s WR3 because they think he’s Tyreek Hill 2.0 when if they just sat at 15 Jeudy could possibly fall into their lap.

They are desperate for speed at receiver so safeties will have to account for a field stretcher to help Fant and Sutton get 1x1 looks which would help Lock succeed.

Mims, Raegor and a couple other WR’a give you that though. If they’re trading up, their best bet is to get a tackle to replace Mongo

Given their offensive line, they should be looking for the receiver who runs the best 2-yard routes.

I do find the Ruggs to Hill comparison comical at best. Hill is an ELITE route runner. Easily top 10, I would argue top 5 in the league at creating separation in all his routes, not just the 9. In reading about Ruggs, not once have I seen anyone tout his route running.

Ruggs has one NFL caliber route, the hitch and go. He's amazing at that.

The rest of the time he isn't fast unless he is running in a straight line or has the ball in his hands.

I'd be furious if I were a Lions fan.

If the Lions kept Slay and gave him the extension he got with the Eagles, how much more are they paying than the contract for the #3 overall pick, assuming it's Okudah? $5 or $6 million per year? Plus they get a 3rd and a 5th round pick out of it?

It's one thing to burn a top draft pick like that in an Eric Fisher year, but it's quite another to do it when you have multiple options available to you in the draft for players worth that selection. And if it's more draft picks they want, then freaking trade down. Find some dumbass Ryan Pace asshole who will give you that 3rd and a 5th to move up a few spots. You'll probably get MORE than that in the trade.

That's the kind of move rebuilding teams make. That's fine. Nothing wrong with that. Teams occasionally have to rebuild. But don't do it on top of a time when you're trying to add talent so you can apparently compete in a brutally competitive division.

Well, they did not trade up for him... and I like the pick. They need to move up now in R2 and focus on OL.

Elway wants Jeudy. That would suck bc that guy is gonna be a great pro IMO

Exactly. They’re trading up for the guy that’s WR3 because they think he’s Tyreek Hill 2.0 when if they just sat at 15 Jeudy could possibly fall into their lap.

Depends who is doing the evaluating. I don't think Ruggs is a comparable talent to Jeudy.

I think Jeudy is a #1 WR in the NFL and Ruggs will be a nice vertical #2..like a Will Fuller.

Hopefully it is not Jeudy. Jeudy is going to be a top 10 NFL WR the moment he steps on the field.

Donkos got either the best or 2nd best WR in the draft and didn't have to trade any picks for him. That's a win for them. They need to address that O-Line BADLY now or Lock will have zero time to get anyone the ball.

Raiders WR pick was okay. Don't know that Ruggs fits their offense as well as other WR could have. He's not Tyreek Hill, despite what pundits keep saying. And they don't have the ideal QB to get him the ball downfield. But I guess we'll see.

Faid and Donkos clearly decided that rather than try and stop the Chiefs and Mahomes, they need to try and outscore them. The Faid offense doesn't scare me in the least, even with Ruggs. Donkos offense COULD be really good, but ONLY if they address that O-Line big time. Lock's still gonna get killed at this point. I assume they'll be investing in O-Line today, at least, that's what they should be doing.

Yeah, and with 4 picks today and 9 total this weekend, they have the ability to move around. Would love to see OT/C in Day 2.
