oldmanfan Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Pretty much confirms we'll get one. Betting against Kiper is easy money. 1

Case Keenum didn't get a huge contract, but they drafted Lynch in 2016, and kelly in 2017. They need to get younger at a lot of positions in the next couple of years. Chubb or Nelson would help them beef up their lines a ton. Chubb across from Miller would create a mean pass rush. Bolles and Nelson creates a huge strength on the o-line which makes your QB that much better. Keenum got a "bridge-level" contract. Lynch has already been labeled a bust. Kelly was a Day 3 pick and will be lucky to make the roster. The Broncos are in a great position to just sit and wait. That was the purpose of signing Keenum. Not to be their long-term plan. If the guy they like falls, they will snatch him up. If not, there are plenty of other guys (Nelson, Barkley, Chubb) who will definitely be there at #5.

Maybe he's there at 5.

I think the Giants go crazy and draft that offensive guard. And it would be smart to do so. Pick up one of the good running backs later by trading down in the first round
Mickey Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 1 hour ago, kdiggz said: You are suggesting they get a franchise QB for 2-3 yrs down the road. These guys might not have jobs in 2-3 yrs if they only win 3 games like last year. They would be setting up the next regime for success rather than helping themselves. Unless they had some kind of guarantee on job security (good luck with that) they are going to want to build a team to win now, not later I wish you were right but Eli's days are numbered. He was bad enough to be benched last year. There is no guaranty he is going to be around or even serviceable in 2018 let alone 2019. This is also not a team on the verge of winning a championship that just needs a few pieces to make a legit run at a title. They are the second worst team in football at the moment, the very definition of a team that is in full rebuild mode whether they admit it or not. If you have an opportunity to get a franchise QB, you take it, you don't soldier on in the belief that when you really, really need one, fate will provide. As Bills fans, we are in dire need of the Giants passing on a QB because if they don't, it is one less trading partner. Consequently, we convince ourselves that sure, the Giants will pass on a franchise QB because that happens all the time. I'd love to believe it but if I was a NYG fan and they gave away an opportunity to lock up their next great QB for a chance to go from 3-13 to 6-10, I'd be furious.
stevestojan Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 http://www.phillyvoice.com/last-5-years--mel-kiper-predicted-8-picks-right/ This is old, but that is a legendary level of failure at something your supposed to be the best at.
billsfan_34 Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 kiper’s Mock Drafts are the worst! McShay a close 2nd IMO. No way it goes down like this. Barkley will go 2 or 3.
jkirchofer Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 Why would Denver take a quarterback this year? No way the draft falls like that.

I wonder if we could sweeten the deal for the Browns by throwing in Shady to soften the blow of losing Barkley? Then they get a plug and play elite running back to pair with their new franchise QB and nice stable of young wideouts. Shady, 22, 53, and 65 for 4 and I take Barkley at 4 and Jackson at 12. 1

John from Riverside Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I am wondering why they are giving up on Lynch so quickly....... He needed to hold a clipboard for a year before he was ready anyway
NeverOutNick Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 I have a feeling this is how the draft will fall. Those 4 players will be the top 5 unless somehow Chubb is the guy at 2 or 5 ? I 100% want to get into the top 5 for one of those QBs BUT if we ended up with Edmunds at 12 like Mel predicts I'd be very very happy...especially if we don't waste a later pick on any of the other non Franchise QBs
T master Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 That wouldn't be as terrible as everyone here is thinking if Trumaine Edmunds would be there at 12 then with 22 pick up Rudolph i think that would be a pretty good 1/2 pick in the first round !!

I honestly don't think it will matter. Keenum will have a good year with that team if they can keep him upright. Thomas and Sanders, Anderson and Booker, and they even get Jake Butt back from his college injury. Kelly and Lynch can compete to the be the backup/qb of the future should it fail, but using a top pick on another QB after 2 years, AND spending fairly large in free agency (keenum is their highest paid player by cap hit in 2018) just seems unlikely. Certainly possible - I would think they'd have to love ONE of the guys there at 5 and it isn't Allen. Not after what happened with their last project QB in Lynch.
Chuck Wagon Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 There are rumors Denver really likes Rudolph, maybe a swap with them, something like 12/22 for 5/99, that leaves them in potential position to make a move for Nelson (they have a bunch of 4ths) up from 12 or sit at 12 and get an impact defensive player and still get Rudolph at 22 before the Steelers / Saints etc if someone is thinking of grabbing him late. 1
