OT: Other Sports: Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies etc…Part VII

[Bonzai12]

I thought Browning was okay, my friend in Arvada disagrees. Whatever the case, at least they're not goin' for it.

Browning wasn’t gonna be re-signed. They would have gotten some type of comp pick for him but then it would have been negated when the Broncos signed other free agents. So taking a 6th makes a lot of sense. It’s a guaranteed return of something for him.

Javonte could be gone this deadline as well. I think they’ll stick with Bolles and Sutton if nothing else for Nix to have safety blankets. I didn’t realize Javonte was in his contract year until just today.

The most interesting trade scenarios this deadline will be at backup QB. I’m sure they’re offering both guys extensions right now and will trade whoever doesn’t extend. But at the same time it sounds like both guys expect to be starters in this league so maybe we end up with neither being dealt away and losing them both at the end of the year. I’d love if they retained Wilson but I think he probably deserves another shot in this league.

I really thought Williams would be a much better RB than what he's shown.

No wonder teams don't pick these guys high unless it's a Saquon-type guaranteed top-3 RB in the league sort.

Just find some random RB in late rounds or UDFA instead of wasting a 2nd on a Williams.

Javonte going to get a minimal contract next year, just how it goes for RBs. Jaleel deserves to be the featured RB but no one believes he can survive it. If he stays healthy and gets good at pass pro I could see him with a big season, just has a jump that we haven't seen since early days of Lindsay.

Now what to do about Sutton...?

The Broncos need to either move him or get an actual legit #1WR. I think Sutton would be fine as a possession guy behind a legit difference maker, but he just doesn't have the dynamism to be the focal point of a WR group.

I think it's clear trading guys doesn't get you good value. You trade someone because you really don't want them around like the Adams deal or a deal where you have a declining vet taking snaps from youngsters. I could get behind a WR trade if the player is as good or better than Sutton but those guys don't get moved much.

Im bullish on the room though, I think Franklin and Vele can be much bigger contributors in time. We will see if Reynolds comes back ok in the meantime to push LJ to the bench. Plus the receiving squad would look a lot better if we got a catching threat TE, that's what I think they should be working the phones on. We haven't seen enough of these guys with an effective Nix to know what the future brings but after this week the road is a lot easier.

With the depth so bad on the broncos it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have taken a qb so high especially since by the time they surrounded him with talent he’d breaking the bank if all went right. And not surrounding him with any talent leads to what we’ve seen I have been less the impressed with their roster construction

Trading for talent is cheap. Look what even good WRs go for. The most important thing to do is find that franchise QB. Building a team before getting a QB will just leave you in limbo.

The Nuggets are getting f***ed by Dick right now, he's scoring all over us

Closing minutes were insane. Great comeback. Watson sank a HUGE three.

Oh good Lord they damn near tied it at the last second.

Pretty sure that was a 3. They nearly lost

 

[Pokecheque]

Oh I miscounted. I had it in my head that they were ahead two and Strawther made one free throw so they were up by three.

Anyway that’s like their fifth comeback victory. They really need to quit living so dangerously but they’re getting it done. Hopefully the injury to Gordon isn’t severe.

 

[BobRossColton]

Would've Mingo been a good target? For a 25 4th?

 

[Pokecheque]

Kinda funny that Malone sang the praises of Hunter Tyson but also strongly indicated he needs to calm the f*** down. Dude's getting T'd up way too much.

Also, I don't care if he just sits in the back with his cowboy hat, they gotta find a way to bring Bruce Brown back.

Tyson is just not a good basketball player. He's held up better than I expected in his limited minutes so far but that's mostly because he's actually playing hard this year while last year (in the G-League) he mostly just stood around pouting. He's invisible on offense and he has a massive talent deficit on defense -- he is slow and weak. His sole asset is his fast hands.

When Cancar is healthy he needs to get 100% of these Tyson minutes.

no the Cowboys got ripped off

 

[willy702]

Yeah 4th rounders have value so don't give them away. Anything 6th or 7th go for it, chances are good whoever you might have picked would still be available as UDFA. The WRs who got traded either wanted out or their teams wanted to move them. At the beginning of a window you don't trade for that. That's why I think the message about the Chiefs is wrong, their window is starting to get closer to an end and all these trades are attempts to keep it open.

 

[JWK]

Nuggets erased a 16 point deficit in 4 minutes, insane run

 

[Pokecheque]

Okay, yeah, Hunter Tyson sucks.

 

[katfude]

That block tho... sheesh

 

[famicommander]

Okay, yeah, Hunter Tyson sucks.

I tried to tell y'all.

Luckily Braun, Watson, and Strawther all came to play tonight.

And Joker... DAMN. 23 points, 20 rebounds, 16 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks.

Fantastic Westbrook game as well.

 

[Pokecheque]

What a GAME. P-Wat bricked the free throws at the worst time but then blocked the game-tying shot from SGA. Fantastic comeback effort in the third.

 

[JWK]

Braun is f***ing awesome and he gets to take his shit talking to the next level by learning from Russ.

 

[AvsWraith]

Really impressed with CB this year so far.

 

[willy702]

That looked like quite a game for the Nuggets. They too often have looked bored since the Title, not enough challenges. This one against an ascending power with guys out was quite the statement.

 

[chet1926]

Lol Jokic. It's his league and everyone else is just there.
