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

[ABasin]

Moving aside from the Broncos for a moment, I guess I wasn't aware that indoor lacrosse players are allowed to drop the gloves. Given how badly this bro failed to protect himself, maybe it would be better if they weren't. Yeesh.

Team got pasted today, not a big deal, honestly. Not a great day, but the season was a success.

Haven't looked at the cap situation, but I'm guessing they'll be limited in FA due to the Wilson debacle.

As for the draft, they need to find Nix some weapons. I would target TE and WR with two of the first three picks.

Not sure I would spend a high draft pick on a RB, and maybe not a S either. Solid players can be found in later rounds and/or off the UFA scrap heap every year.

You just gotta find the right guy at RB. It's truly a game of darts.

They spent a high pick on Williams and he was a mega-bust, just horrible. On a re-do I wouldn't have spent a single draft pick on Williams.

Well Williams was fine until he destroyed his knee tbf. Not looking to being an elite guy, but a starting level guy for sure.

Javonte was looking promising before his injury.


edit: f*** NFL content blocks

Never quite fast, but his burst is gone now.

Exactly....he lost his pop big time....but a knee injury like his was career threatening. Unfortunately, he looks washed up.

Yeah he's a totally different player than he was 3/4 years ago. But unfortunately the writing was definitely on the wall there.

 

[MonsterMack]

There was a period of time where everyone, not just Broncos homers, thought Williams was gonna be good. It's not a waste of draft pick. Injuries happen. Regression happens. But I'll argue he was still worth the pick.

As others have said, he had a brutal serious knee injury. And he never looked the same afterwards.

I think everyone agrees they need to improve that position. Not as important, nor as easy to fill, as TE. Or WR.

Not everyone agrees on TE.

 

[ABasin]

Not everyone agrees on TE.

Agrees on what? That the team needs improvement at TE, or that TE is an easy position to fill?

They need a reliable 2nd pass catcher. It can be a WR. If the TE doesn’t even block, why does the passing target need to be a TE? You clan get receiving only TEs later in the draft too.

The team needs more than one additional pass catcher.

No kidding

Tampa/ Washington game is awesome

TEs draw different coverage from different defensive players, not just cornerbacks and safetys. It changes a lot. It is very different than a pure WR. Your last sentence is completely wrong.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Tampa/ Washington game is awesome

Finally a good playoff game. They've all been so bad so far.

 

[famicommander]

Washington needs like 4 new offensive linemen. Good lord.

Yeah, that’s true

 

[Pokecheque]

Nuggets won at least.

f***ing Jayden Daniels is awesome

Formations and offensive personnel dictates defensive personnel and coverage. What are you even talking about.

 

[famicommander]

Nuggets won at least.

Having Aaron Gordon back is so nice. And DeAndre Jordan has been playing as well as we've seen him play in a Nuggets uniform these last few weeks. We actually lost the Jokic minutes and won the Jordan minutes tonight.

Buddy, no shit. I meant that tight ends aren't covered by defensive backs usually and that can be a mismatch.

What are you talking about.

Also, I don't really care about the above. You said you "You clan get receiving only TEs later in the draft too." Where are those tight ends eh? What are you talking about.

edit: I'm sure Mahomes bitches about Kelce being his main target

I said earlier he needs another reliable pass catching target. It doesn’t need to be a TE. You’re the one who brought up personnel/coverages. You made your own nothing burger.

Jimmy Graham, Antonio Gates, Travis Kelce, Rob Gronkowski...none were taken in the first round. People are talking like the 1st pick Denver has needs to be a TE. Rob Gronkowski went in the 2nd but he was a good run blocker. That barely exists anymore.
