At least they should finish near the bottom and finally get a top 5 pick which they will use on a Guard or something.

28. DENVER BRONCOS
• Biggest loss: C Graham Glasgow

• Biggest gain: QB Jarrett Stidham

I think what they're saying is the best thing the doncos did this offseason was sign Russetts replacement.

Here's the QB Payton got stuck with:

Russell Wilson 5-11

Here's the QBs Payton chose:

Jarrett Stidham 6-3
Jarrett Guarantano 6-3

Wilson is neither 6-3 nor is he named Jarrett, so he's probably not in the long term plans.

But he is short and Payton liked another short QB.

Winston threw DBs open too

I honestly wonder who would win a legit competition between Let's Ride and Stidham.

If Russ really has lost his deep ball accuracy, I'd give the edge to Stidham. Stidham, iirc, has some wheels, while Russ doesn't anymore, and he can actually hit intermediate throws between the numbers, while Russ struggles with that.

And Payton's offense is designed around the ability to make those between-the-numbers intermediate-distance timing throws.

The Broncos didn’t have a first-round pick and their first pick in the draft wasn’t until No. 63...

PFF also rated Denver's roster 28th. Thoughts?

No, I don’t think he’ll have any thoughts on that.

25 Worst moves made by NFL teams in 2022- Yard Barker

#1 Broncos trade for Russell Wilson

It's already being called one of the worst trades in NFL history. Desperate to solve the quarterback issues they've had since the retirement of Peyton Manning, the Broncos shipped two first-round picks, two second-round picks, a fifth-round pick, Drew Lock, Noah Fant, and Shelby Harris to Seattle for Wilson. After signing Wilson to a five-year contract with $161 million guaranteed, he proceeded to flounder with career worsts in completion percentage, touchdowns, and QBR en route to a fourth-place finish in the AFC West. Fans can only hope a new coaching staff will turn things around.

I made the worst trade in my field's history and kept my job. And I don't work for the government!

How do you foresee the Broncos handling the issue? Given the contract extension they gave Wilson, it's not like you can just cut him anytime soon and with him still on the roster he's absorbing a significant percentage of the salary cap. However, if he stays as the #1 QB and performs anything close to how he did last year, he'll reerun the development of the team and become incredibly divisive, even more so than he was last year.
