OT: Other Sports aka 2 weeks until NFL Draft thread XXVI

[famicommander]

Getting anyone with a smidge of talent would be a win at this point

He's a human turnover machine and he gets hurt all the time.

 

[Bonzai12]

I honestly don't think I could root for RG3 in a Broncos uniform. He's either a ***** on the sideline or a pompous a$$ when he's the face of the franchise. Cutler version 2.0 except half the natural ability.

 

[ArWKo]

Apparently Schefter mentioned Mike Glennon as a possibility....yikes.

Peter King suggested trying to make a move for AJ McCarron in Cinci which I think is interesting depending on the price to get him out of there. Looked pretty good in relief of Dalton late in the season.

 

[RockLobster]

I'm just wondering when Elway will make his move. Obviously, he doesn't want to "rush" into anything, but on the flip side, if he takes too much time and other options are taken, then he likely has to pay more in a trade (because the other team will know they have him "over a barrel", so to speak).

 

[JWK]

Texans are idiots. Good luck to The Brock in a culture that doesn't know how to win aka the Browns of the South

They made the playoffs this past year and their defense is still great.

Brock leaving is a blessing in disguise. Broncos can take a chance elsewhere and be as good... or if totally bust, get a top 10 pick and go after Watson/Kaaya/Beathard.

Only Watson is worthy of a top 10 pick from your list. QB class looks really weak next year, but how knows, guys like Max Browne light it up and go into the draft early.

The savior the Broncos need

Kaaya could go either way, but has every tool. Beathard is legit. He is going to shoot up the board the way Wentz did this past year. People called me crazy when I thought Wentz was going top 10 when I said it last year... now he probably goes #2.

Hackenberg is a headcase. I wouldn't touch him in the first or second personally. 3rd... probably worth the risk.

Yeah, I like the McCarron idea, too. At least he knows how to win as a game manager.

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Thank god Brock is gone

 

[cgf]

Man if we really do have the money left over to nab a safety who can clean up behind Collins, this D will be one Myles Jack pick away from scary. Eli-to-ODB just might have enough around them to work with...at least in the NFC East...

If a deciding factor in Brock leaving was the benching vs SD then I'm happy he's gone. Dude needs to have a thicker skin than that. Besides its not like he got benched for a scrub.

Of a crappy pool of available QB's I would take Kaep over RG3. But if Cincy is reasonable in its asking price we could do worse than AJ McCarron, with the added benefit of getting Mrs. McCarron to join him.

I say Kaep over RG3 simply because he was fine until the dumpster fire started out there in SF between Harbaugh and management. RG3 seemed to be a head case from the start.

It sure will be interesting to see if the NFL sends Houston here for Opening Night.

I'll never forget about Musberger and Mrs. McCarron, lol

That was some of the hardest public creeping I have ever seen.

QBs after Goff/Wentz are interchangeable to me, so I'll easily take a chance with Hackenberg in the 2nd round. Part of it is because I followed ever since he was in HS, so I might be too attached to him. I think he'll be one of those players that's much better pro, he doesn't have James Franklin to ruin him in the NFL.

 

[ColoradoSportsFan]

Assuming Elway gets Kaep...his salary fits, believe I read 13.5 cap hit next season. But it balloons up to 19M for the 17-18 season. So I would think a restructure would be in order.

 

[ASmileyFace]

AJ McCarron has the worst tattoo I have ever seen.

I'd agree after Goff/Wentz that it is pretty much a mixed bag. I'm not honestly a fan of any of the other QBs in the draft and wouldn't select any of them early. Some teams will though.

That tattoo is reason enough to not get AJ. Need the Home Alone gif for that one.

 

[LazRNN]

AJ is living life to it is fullest!

 

[Stories]

Yeah, I like the McCarron idea, too. At least he knows how to win as a game manager.

While he didn't look amazing against the Steelers in the wild card round, he looks like a very serviceable and athletic player. I think he'd be a fine fit in this scheme.

To echo what @MikeSilver is saying, talks heating up. #Broncos are out front in trying to trade for Colin Kaepernick. 2 other teams involved

Compensation for QB Colin Kaepernick has not yet been good enough for 49ers to make deal, source says. Broncos, Jets and Browns involved

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 19m19 minutes ago
#Browns, #Browns, #Jets in on a potential Colin Kaepernick trade. Big difference in where their 2nd round picks are: Denver's much later

So the Browns are bidding against themselves? No wonder that franchise hasn't gone anywhere

Don't want Kaep.
