Broncofan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Well, the book closes. Can't say I'm sorry - just sorry we busted hard when we could have done so much better Rd 2. Oh well. Mike Klis ✔@MikeKlis Confirming, LT Ty Sambrailo was just told he has been traded to Falcons. Broncos expected to be heavy with guards along O-line. #9sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsthomp2007 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 WOW! A 5th round pick. That is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 We got a higher pick for Sambrailo than we gave up for Barbre. Now PHI forced their own hand by announcing he was cut, but no matter how you slice it, that's a great result. And before we think ATL is nuts, just keep in mind ATL runs the ZBS that Sambrailo is built for - we don't anymore. So it could work out for them, but either way he was a sunk cost, so to get anything for him, and to negate the price we paid for Barbre, yeah, I'm a happy camper. Elway Day 2 history is his Achilles, but props to maximize what little return potential there was. It also shows how valuable OL is seen, for a borderline talent (starter-wise) to get this return.

broncosfan07 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Glad we got something for him but just another 2nd round bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 The other implication - guess this keeps Schofield on the roster, unless it's Billy Turner. I'd guess it's Schofield, only because he has G/T versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very limited but he's give you good effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, keeping Schofield costs us 2M vs. a low-wage Sambrailo - so that's about a 1.2M difference. Totally worth it to score a 5th in exchange. But with us keeping JC for 1.7M more (1.45M salary & 250K roster bonus for making team) and now 1.2M more - that's 2.9M more in cost. Which when you look at TJ Ward's salary of 4.5M vs. a rookie 500K (instead of PS) - just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champ11 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Elway's draft history w players on the offensive side of the ball is so bad lol This is great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I obviously have a soft spot for Ty Sambrailo since he's a Ram like I am, but he just couldn't get it done. Frankly, I'm a little surprised he flamed out as badly as he did as he was a good player at CSU in a pro-style system. Oh well. A 5th is good, better than just cutting him and getting nothing. I wish him nothing but the best in Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
