I'll be glad when the draft is done... the recent drafts have not been stellar, I'll never say they've been anything other than questionable. I'd like to see them trade down and pick up a few extras, go OL/Secondary. If they stay at 5, Chubb or Minkah would be ideal, but maybe they can trade down and get a nice couple of options later on.

The drafts rarely go as you think and quite honestly, outside of R1... I just follow the recaps. There's only so much prognosticating I can take.

It will be Ward

Elway is that bad

Who knows... I hope they trade with the Bills.

I hope Elway takes Josh Allen.

Yes, teams have found gems in the later rounds, but there's no guarantee you will. Denver drafted Booker, Hillman, and Ball and none of them turned into that day two gem you guys are talking about. Why keep wasting 2nd and 3rd rounders trying to find a RB when the best RB to come out in years could be there?

Look at how quickly the Cowboys, Saints, Jags, and Panthers turned around after adding Zeke, Kamara , Fournette, and McCaffery. All of those teams went from from picking in the top 11, to making the playoffs after drafting their RB's.

Saquon would be one of the highest paid RB’s in the league if drafted at 5. His 5th year option would make him the highest paid RB that year as well (not counting a franchised RB).

Very stupid when you can get a talented RB with your next pick at 40 for much cheaper.

I gotta say for the Bronco's pick that is maybe the one player I don't want the Donks to take. It's definitely easier to find real good RB's later in the draft (moreso than other positions 100%) but Saquon Barkley is gonna be one hell of a player for a very long time.

If Saquon could find his way to the NFC that would be ideal. Either way I'm sure Elway will **** it up.

Draft allocation per team over the past 5 years. Every team has selected at least one Pro Bowl player over that span except for BUF, IND and DEN... pic.twitter.com/AuAJz4wr3I

Interesting thread on previous drafts. Elways have been less than desirable.

His 5th year option wouldn't make him the highest paid RB. He'd make the average of the top 10 highest paid RB's in the league.

Saquon Barkley would make everyone on the offense better. He can do everything Christian McCaffery can do but he's 20 pounds heavier and much more explosive. If Denver can get him in round 1 and Hurst/Gesicki/Goedert in round 2, Denver could have the highest scoring offense in the division, especially if Jake Butt becomes the player the Broncos hoped he'd be.

Wow, that is absolutely pathetic.

His first two drafts won him a Super Bowl though.

His HOF QB won him a SB.

Since he currently doesn't have one of those, I'm not sure how that correlates.

You're ****ing with us right? Like, this is satire?

Without Von Miller, Malik Jackson, Derek Wolfe, Danny Trevathan, and Chris Harris that team doesn't come close to Super Bowl 50. His first two drafts were about as good you could hope for.

Clearly now we see they were outliers
