That was me...
Denver would have still had their picks this year and next, Chubb, Fant, Lock, Harris would still be Donks...and about $200 million richer.
This was a deep draft and they lost top (cheap) prospects in exchange for Wilson...they would be in position to draft a QBOTF...especially if they had still moved Chubb. Could have completely rebuilt their OL in anticipation.
Wilson would have been an OK move if he had come without the draft compensation...like Manning. That was a once in a lifetime deal...
Your team would be in much better shape with Ryan than Wilson...hence the 32nd ranked offense.
Both arent playing well...one was cheap and easy to get rid of.
I said this move went against what I knew about how to build a team...and was correct. Now the Donks are dismantling..would have shipped off JJ for a 2nd.
Interesting nobody was willing to give up a 2nd...shows what the league thinks of his "elite" route running. In the age of the $20 million WR, nobody wanted a cheap one.
