This is the entire defense.
And you're not wrong, either. They really do need upgrading just about everywhere.

If they did that, they'd be looking at a scenario where (aside from that newly drafted QB), they would have zero players drafted in the top 60 players in a draft - for THREE consecutive drafts (they have no 2nd round pick this year).
If they had to do what Carolina had to do to move up last year, it'll cost them next year's 1st round pick also. Four straight years without a 1st round pick? That young QB would walk onto the field with a bunch of scarecrows.
The Broncos are really in a pickle. They're not in a draft position to get a young stud QB, they don't have assets to move (either players or picks), the cubbard is pretty bare. And, they weren't very good this season. They need players, not just at QB.
I suspect it's more likely they trade down for 2/3 extra picks in the 2nd round. If the QB they really want falls to them, maybe not. It's just hard for me to imagine a scenario where they weaken an already weak roster to go get a QB, and don't draft a single player until the 80th pick or something.

Surtain would bring back a 1st +. They shouldn't move him though. 23 year old quality player on a rookie contract.
Other tradeable assets include Simmons and Sutton. 1 and 2 years left on their current contracts, not massively expensive, still good players. They are 30 and approaching 30 though. The Broncos might get a 2nd and a 3rd for those two guys. Maybe.

Nope, those are day 3 picks if traded. Teams don't pay much draft capital for guys on full priced contracts unless they are elite at premium positions.
Trading in the first two rounds is just way too expensive. If anything Broncos should consider trading down just a bit to add some capital.

Michigan clearly was the best team and really was for the whole season. Dominate performance tonight.

Yep. First really tough defense he played all year, and looked mediocre.
Couple this with his ugly medical profile, and you are looking at a big time drop.
NFL scouts are no dummies, they didn't rate him as high as Joe Public did after one widely watched game. I think he's a good pick in the 2nd round for someone who waits. Has a lot of good qualities and likely can be a decent NFL QB in the right spot. Not worth a reach because his ceiling isn't as high as others. Being older he also makes sense on the shorter deal, he will either make it or won't in a year or two.
I didn't like at all how Penix just kinda looked ho-hum in the 4th quarter.....Down by 14 with 5 mins to go and he was full on deer in the headlights with zero urgency. I was impressed with his arm strength though - he's got an absolute cannon.
McCarthy just reminds me of Daniel Jones

Thats a good one. A deluxe game manager. Hard to say how good his passing game is when he has a running game gashing the opponent and then goes play action. Maybe I'm biased having watched him more but id definitely take Bo Nix before McCarthy.

I agree, they're both douchebags, but very different kinds of douchebags. I can put up with Gronk's idiotic jackassery for the most part, but that smug holier-than-thou shit from Kelce is f***ing untolerable.

I don’t know if it can be pinned down to just the transfer portal… Saban is also old af and accomplished just about everything.
Probably not, but there are a lot of reports that these older more established coaches hate it with a passion.
Wouldn't be shocked if it had something to do with it.

I’m sure there are a lot of factors, but Bama took advantage of it as much as anybody. The whole thing is changing, he’s old, Kirby is taking over the SEC… just might be a good time.
What a GREAT DAY. They can’t do better than Saban and have already dropped one of their top recruits. Time to raid. War damn eagle.

Hugh is probably texting all the ladies of the night he knows. Gonna be a long night.
Hugh is business first. He’ll send a text to all 85 members of the bama football team. Only after that, will the hookers’ phones start to blow up.
