K-9

It’s not so much that they’re great, it’s that they are the bridge QBs best able to keep you competitive while your star rookie bakes until ready.

Acquiring Keenum doesn’t preclude the Broncos from targeting a QB high in the draft. The rookie wage scale would pay what decent backups make, anyway.

Possibly our best player on defense? He’s not even in the conversation. Leading the league in tackles is a dubious stat. Brown is adequate at best.

Receivers might give pause, but it comes down to money and the sales job the organization does.

May as well just take an extra bye week and forfeit that game right now.

I’d take any of Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield. But if I had to make a decision at gun point, it would be Rosen. He’s the most pro ready prospect by far from what I can gather.

Lot to like about Darnold. Totally understand why he’d be at the top of some rankings.

May want to recheck that rankings list on the site you linked.

I’m not a huge fan of giving up a ton of picks, either, but this year is unique in that even if we did, we’d still have picks in each of the first three rounds. I don’t actually think it will happen, either. I’d just like to hang on to some higher picks this year while still grabbing our franchise QB.

But Brees can carry them if he has to. I don't think Cousins is that kind of QB on a regular basis.

Brees gets the Vikes to the show. Cousins can't hold his jock.

That's true, imo. Browns can't gamble that we pass on the same guy they like most.

I agree; it's damned impressive when NOBODY and their mothers thought we'd get the equivalent of a 2nd for him. Great job by Beane and Co.

Just spit ballin' and using the most common draft value charts that show Indy's pick is worth 2200, I'm gonna go Mike Ditka and offer them: 2018 1st, #12 2nd, #53 3rd, #65 4th, #121 5th, #166 6th, #187 2019 1st Still leaves us with picks in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounds this year. And with all that expected cap room next year, the loss of that first round pick can be mitigated in free agency. Not sure what the value of next year's #1 would be, but if it's at least 277 (and there's a decent chance it will be) then that gets us to the 2200 value of Indy's pick this year.

Remains to be seen. Not our problem if he passes his physical in Cincy.

I agree; we essentially got 2nd round value for Cordy and he's worth it if healthy, certainly. I wouldn't have minded keeping him, actually. But moving up those nine spots puts us on the threshold to make the bolder move into the top three. Nice.

Nobody is going to argue that; it's the whole idea.

If they get into the top three they are assured of getting a higher rated prospect coming out of college than either Watson or Mahommes.

Hypothetical: do you take the 60mph thrower with poor ball placement or the 55mph thrower with good ball placement?

Could have used that on first and goal against the Jags. Should have, actually.

He didn't publicly dis anybody, actually. But when some hack takes comments out of context by not providing the entire quote, that perception gets thrown out there.

Yep. And rumor has it he went deep, too.

I hear that, but it depends on whether or not they have three QBs rated evenly vs. that ONE guy they’ve targeted. I suspect the latter.

He joined them coming off a 9-7 season and leaves them coming off a 9-7 season with .500 and 7-9 seasons in between. Treading water at best; the definition of mediocrity. For me, I can’t make non failure mean the same as successful. Although, he leaves them trending upward.

No. Mediocrity is not success.
