The 2 1st and 2nd round picks surprised me. Looks like Denver is pulling the LA method.

I don't think the Broncos are at the same talent level that Rams were at before the Stafford trade. 

Wilson will again have to run around and weave magic

.and now rumors ta Seattle is looking to trade for Darnold..

 

Why, of all teams, would try to "get the gang back together" from the Jets?

Maybe they're looking for an Osweiller type trade where the team takes a player & gets a draft choice too.  Why would any team trade for Darnold with the 5th year option unless Carolina kicked in a pick or 2.  Right now Carolina would love to dump off Darnold & his guaranteed salary.

”YEAH!!! No more Locke—-I’m gonna be cookin with Russ!!!”

 

 

”wait..what?”

Even if the Bills didnt have a QB...I wouldn't love this trade. I think this was a dumb, impatient move by the Broncos. 

 

But since the Broncos are willing to part ways with draft picks, maybe they would send the Bills a 7th rounder for Edmunds. 🤣

After the crushing playoff loss in 2022, I've basically been offline regarding Bills talk.  However, did you see haul that the Broncos gave up (source: ticker via ESPN)?!  There were times in Bills' history where many (@jrober38) opined that the Bills should give up draft capital to trade for... Jay Cutler.  It happens.  "GO BRONCS!" he'll say after every game.  "YEE HAW!"

 

Sure, he's better than what they have now, but you need to build from within.  GM > HC > QB.  That's what gets the job done.  Do you trust the Broncos' GM or HC to get the job done?  Time will tell.

They are pretty solid across the board and have some truly elite talent at key positions including QB now.  I would also look for them to be big players in FA and go all in since they have very little draft assets left to play with.

 

Either way there's a lot that's going to happen the rest of the offseason leading up to september but on paper this denver squad looks like a WC caliber team at worse even before any other moves are made.

[Shake_My_Head]

Win-Win.

 

Good for the Bills that KC will have a tougher path.    Good that Seattle is in the NFC...

[Chicken Boo]

 

If you don't know or remember how good this guy is, just watch.

[Success]

At first, I was like, "Oh, man - the AFC is even more stacked with QB's now."

 

Then, I was like, "Good luck, KC!  The road to the SB will go through Buffalo now..."

We definitely won in this trade

I wonder if Von Miller goes back to finish his career and win one with Russ.

Von wants to win another he wins with JA.  

as long as Denver kept its current core of players, this is a great move.  They are too far back to draft an impact QB, and have a very talented roster outside of QB

I'm not sure the 'evidence' is conclusive. He had a down year last season of..

 

2021 stats: 14 games | 64.8 pct | 3,113 pass yds | 7.8 ypa | 25 pass TD | 6 INT | 183 rush yds | 2 rush TD | 6 fumbles

 

..while being injured. The Broncos have a much better line and running game as well. They were 6th is rushing compared to Seattle's 28th. 

 

There's about 20 other teams out there (including the Broncos) who wish their QBs had a 'down' year like that.

I’ve watched him since 2012 and can honestly say, without doubt, his game has declined. I know the stats might not show it but if you watch all the games you can easily see it. Now Seattle’s OL is pretty much garbage so we’ll see what happens. Now that I’ve called him out again he’ll go on to be league MVP and make me look like an ass LOL. 

[HOUSE]

The broncos are crazy, its far to much to give up imo

 

 Denver is giving up two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-rounder, QB Drew Lock, defensive tackle Shelby Harris and tight end Noah Fant in exchange for Wilson and a fourth-rounder.

Dumb move by the Broncos.

What? In the NFL your nowhere if you don't have a top tier QB. Wilson is still in his prime and has been playing for a team that had one of the worst O-Lines in the league. The Broncos were an afterthought, and are now #2 in the AFC West, and likely a top 6 team in the AFC. Draft picks don't matter much when the likes of Drew Lock is your QB. I think the Broncos got off cheap.

The Bills selected in the non-playoff team portion of round 1 for 16 straight seasons before the chance to select Patrick Mahomes fell in their lap in round 1..........and when they finally made the playoffs in 2017 exactly ZERO of the drought era first round picks were on the active roster in Jacksonville for that game.      

 

Basically the Doncos got a franchise QB for about 2 years worth of early picks while the Bills spent 16 years in the ***** desert.  

 

It's unconscionable that Seattle would trade a 34 year old elite franchise QB for that little return.
