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

[Hasbro]

So thankful Nix worked out because I’d hate to need one in this draft. Ewers, Cam Ward? No thanks.

I thought he was a garaunteed bust.

Travis Hunter won the Camp (best player), Benarik (Best defender), Biletnikof (best receiver) and his secong Hornung (Most versitile).

Heisman Award is tomorrow.

 

[Bonzai12]

The awards this year are kind of a sham. Hunter not up for the DB award but then he wins the Heisman and best defender award? Uh ok. Skattebo not up for the Doak Walker is also a complete sham.

It’s almost as if rookie QBs shouldn’t be universally judged after just a couple of NFL games or something. F**king crazy talk.

No, they should be judged after their first drive in the preseason!

I'm glad to have been proven wrong about him.

There have been QBs who looked good after their first season and couldn't duplicate. The league figured them out, they fell into bad habits, beating up on bad competition, couldn't take the next step... So not out of the woods yet.

HOWEVER, you have to be happy with the results so far.

Beckham waived by Miami…..what do ya’ll think?

I can’t stand Beckham but I could see the Broncos pulling the trigger on this one.

Yep. Perfectly said.

I don't think there's anyway he'll want to play here. He probably wants to sign with a contender.

He’s subject to waivers first. $200k price for remainder of season

That linebacker in SF effectively ended his NFL career. What a f***ing idiot.

Pretty crazy story. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that.

When I first read it, I thought to myself that he must have been hurt or something. Evidently not.

We could claim him, but WRs are divas. When they don't want to be somewhere, they make it an everybody problem. We should only claim him, if we know he's okay signing here.

I don’t want any part of him.

Do the Broncos really need a receiver? Unless he can play tight end, then no.

Vele and Franklin have stepped up, but Franklin in particular has dropped a lot of balls. A better WR to force LJH off the team would be fantastic. Also, if he's willing, OBJ would make for a deadly slot receiver. The problem is, I don't think he's willing. I'm not sure what he wants at this stage of his career. He knows he can't be "the guy" anymore, that's why he signed on with Miami, but he seems to also want a high volume targets.

He hasn’t had a 600 receiving yard season since 2019. He’s cooked.

Hope they pass on him, rather than to him.

I really don't think we need to worry about it. I bet he re-signs with the Ravens or ends up in Buffalo or KC.

I corrected my post, btw. He hasn’t passed 600 yards since 2019.

Ummm they just released Reynolds because they didn't have a spot for a veteran WR. I'd say the Broncos are the last team that would put in a claim.

 

[Hasbro]

ODB really doesn't add much to the table this season, so I'd rather the young guys: Mims, Vele and Franklin get those reps.

 

[Hasbro]

I’m ecstatic about the Bolles signing. I don’t love him as a player but he’s solid and that deal slots him in at the 8th highest paid OT in the league. Bolles took a hometown discount on this thing.

I still think we take a OT in this draft in the mid rounds despite the Bolles signing but now we can probably do that in the middle rounds.

I’m hoping the Broncos take a TE, DB or DL in the first round - not really even in that order. We definitely gotta find some depth at corner and the TE room right now is garbage. I threw in DL only because this draft is supposed to be super deep in that category.

So thankful Nix worked out because I’d hate to need one in this draft. Ewers, Cam Ward? No thanks.

You should take OL in EVERY draft.

You need 5 starters, 4 backups and maybe a long snapper versus a 52 man roster and 4-5 year entry level contracts and it being a difficult position to pick up. You always should have irons in the fire there.
