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

[BobRossColton]

I was praising him a few months ago but I dunno anymore after I have thought a lot about the Broncos offseason. Yeah he killed it at the combine. He was already projected 15-30 and now he’s probably more so 5-20. It’s amazing that he basically scored a perfect 10 in the combine rankings. And he’d be a 10 at either safety spot or WR. Just crazy combine numbers.

I don’t think the Broncos should go after him though. He very likely will turn out to be a hell of a player but you can acquire a solid safety in FA for $5-10million-ish. The same is gonna be true for the ILB Jihaad Campbell. Both guys are gonna be super pros but S and ILB are just very cheap positions to fill out on the open market. I think we will know a lot about the Broncos direction in the draft based on who they can sign in FA. If they can’t fill S or ILB on the market then both of these guys are definitely going to be in play.

I’m still holding out hope that they get Tyler Warren. I think it’s a stretch tho - Warrens mostly likely gone by 20. But honestly I’d be happy if they traded down at this point. The draft seems like it’s getting pretty deep. Get Mason Taylor at TE in the 2nd, maybe Skattebo in the 3rd and a few more lineman. Avoid Arroyo at all costs - kid is talented but he’s made of glass. Also avoid Fannin - dude is Julius Thomas 2.0.

I would never ever spend a 1st rounder on a safety. Maybe if it was like 31st

I kind of like the idea of having a big safety on a rookie contract while PS2 is getting paid

Yeah grab one in the 3rd-5th

Nick Emmanwori should be the target with our first.

6-3 Safety who runs a 4.3 40?

Take Nick around Christian Okoye and see if that trigger PTSD.

PS2, Riley & Emmanwori sounds like a dangerous defense.

I had fun reading all the draft previews that said the Broncos needed an Edge rusher and then all the sudden that dissapeared when the draftnicks realized "oh they lead the league in sacks!"

Bring back Simmons on a minimum too.

This was deemed "not a knockdown" because boxing is flagrantly corrupt. Roach landed a jab, Davis took a knee, claimed he had something in his eye, was allowed to let his corner wipe the eye with a towel, and then no knockdown was awarded.

And then, of course, Roach was robbed of his victory on the scorecards. Majority draw. If they'd scored the knockdown, that's a win for Roach. A 9-1 underdog moving up in weight to upset one of the all time cherrypickers. But they robbed the kid blind.

It can be so tiresome being a fan of this sport sometimes, man.

Bring back Simmons on a minimum too.

He lives near me and as far as I can tell - he’s never sold his house.

MLB is going to review pardoning Pete Rose again...of course now that he's dead.

Just unbelievable what these committees do to these guys and their families. I don't know why someone dying all of a sudden changes things. It's absolutely cruel.

Simmons was just OK this past season. The Broncos let him go at the right time.

Having him back on the cheap? Um, OK maybe. To do what though? Back up Locke?

Pete Rose was a pedophile. They should be pissing on his grave, not considering him for the HOF.

Hopefully to replace him. Locke was no where near "just OK" last season. Great athlete, but he can't read the plays at an NFL level.

In this scenario, drafting Emmanwori, and Simmons can mentor him, and allows Locke to be released

You only do things like that with a deep roster and no glaring holes

Afternoon game against a good team in their barn on national tv? Of course we're gonna get blown out

Locke is probably going to be a cap casualty. He played nowhere near his contract last year.

 

[Hasbro]

They do have a hole at safety. I’d rather draft a great safety than a good TE or WR.

 

[famicommander]

A grand total of 11 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist from the bench unit of Jordan, Nnaji, Pickett, and Strawther today.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Third in a row, or just his third overall?

Doesn't matter one way or another, freakin' incredible... but just how big of an exlaimation point is putting on things right now?

Any of you guys check out the Rugby League at the Deathstar over the weekend?

Watched a little of it on TV. Impressive it got national coverage. I get the difficulty of balancing out authentic announcers versus educating the public but this was an instance where I could see a lot of viewers tune in and then tune out when they had no idea what was going on. Using Aussies to call a match for an American audience almost made it seem like the viewers are thought to be foreign expats? I have worked with Aussies so I'm used to their accent but to average Americans that could have sounded like Greek
