jebrick Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Quote Per league source, #Broncos awarded four players on waivers QB Brandon Allen (Rams) TE Andrew Beck (Patriots) C Corey Levin (Titans)WR Diontae Spencer (Steelers) You guys got an incredible kick returner with Spencer. He is electric on punt returns. Makes things happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes things happen And while it was the CFL he has been doing it for a few years professionally. So less likely to pull an Isiah McKenzie and pull off a rookie year disaster like 2017 was. Plus he’s not a total zero as a WR. His size makes him as likely a gadget guy / speed (although he’s more burst / elusiveness he still has wheels to make D’s respect it) player. But we could definitely use that skill set in our WR corps. And most importantly - it didn’t cost anything (looking at that 2017 draft with Day 2 & 3 picks for the sake profile SMH). Looking forward to seeing him play. Big plus that he’s cost controlled for 4 years. Those are the types of acquisitions that makes a team accelerate into contention sooner. Love going after the early service time guys. You only need to hit on 1/3 of them to have a massive future impact.

With Leary's injury history and McGoverns snapping concerns our IOL depth was really weak with only Schlottman as G/C. We needed another one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Leary’s 2019 contract wasn’t guaranteed for injury he would have been iffy to bring back at that salary & his age / health. The likelihood he breaks down again this year is sky high. Agree we need 2 interior capable guys ready and even better if they both can be C given McGovern’s struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with it, but ideally this is why I keep 9 on a roster. 2 interior guys who can play G or C and 2 tackles (one of whom should be able to play inside if needed) off the bench. Then again, given our OL depth, they probably weren't too worried about losing any of these guys. I see the Saints just poached Leglue, that's kind of disappointing.

BroncoBruin Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Also, Titans fans seem to really like Levin, which is more than we can say about any of the 2nd unit guys we've had in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Josh Watson & Jamal Carter are the targeted 7th & 8th guys we know of (no word if they’ve cleared yet). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Corey Nelson & Devontae Harris both cleared waivers so they can be added to the 53-man roster with the IR moves - happening tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Schlottman and Wilkinson our backups haven't shown much at all. Checked out Levin a bit. LT and LG in college, three year starter, good size , decent measureables, plays with a mean streak. He was on the 46 every game last year and started 1 at LG. That gives us Schlottman C/G, Wilkinson G/T and Levin G/T, with all but Schlottman having at least 1 NFL start. Curious to see how the final depth chart looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Pretty excited about picking up a competent returner. It’s been a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a while When Flacco played his best ball he had a good one in Jacoby Jones. A guy you have to flip the field is pretty valuable to winning close games Trindon Holiday another very good addition to our team when it was in Championship mode. I get the opposing alternative this guys 27 might not be in the long term plans. He might add 2 wins to the win total and hurt our longterm outlook draft wise if there isn't enough depth or talent. The facts are finding a good returner has been "as challenging, " as replacing the qb position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) 7 new players brought in today. With the three expected IR moves (Lock, Riddick, Butt), there's room to bring in one more.

It's crazy that we've wasted so much time on the Jordan Norwoods and River Cracrafts of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
