CIN is where we were last year, but there's hope on the horizon (and I'm not sold that Burrow is all-world, but seems like he's at worst a Matt Ryan-type, which would be a fantastic upgrade on Andy Dalton for-ever). Burrow had an "meh first year" because that was basically his first time getting playing time...Look at how much he improved, he's as good a QB prospect as I've ever seen.

His physical traits are unreal, built for todays game in space. His length and speed is unreal, he just makes plays and hits people. If Simmons isn't there I think Ruggs is a guy who is so fast that he changes your entire offense. He will command safety help over the top and there aren't many guys who do that, he's special because of his speed and would give us something we haven't ever had!

germ-x Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Biadasz tonight showed exactly why I like him and what concerns me. I was only able to watch the 2nd half, was driving back from Granby during the 1st half. He’s clearly very smart and technically sound. In pass pro he pass defenders off to the OGs and is ready to take on a stunt or late blitz. He’s a big OL who has a very good anchor when he’s squared up to the defender. He gets push in the running game and plays until the whistle blows. He struggled a few times with undersized/quicker defenders, on one occasion was so out of position against a small DT he barely touched him and he gave up a 2 yard loss. He’s a plodder whose athleticism is a very real concern. He is not bad moving to the 2nd level with the play coming directly behind him. If he’s asked to do anything actually in space on a screen or trick play, his athleticism is poor enough that he may not even be able to get in the way of the defender. In a phone booth, power scheme, I think he’s a good player. In a zone scheme I think he’s very comparable to Connor McGovern (both are strength based/forward moving type players), who did not have a bad year for Denver by any means.

broncosfan_101 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 If Fangio has any say in the draft room, I’d be shocked if Kenneth Murray slipped past the 15th pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoundrel Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 A supposed cover linebacker that doesn’t have an INT in 39 career games? No thanks at 15. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they let CHJ go, I dont know how they dont draft a CB in the 1st or 2nd. Diggs or Wade will be there 15th but Elway has never drafted Alabama players in the past so I wonder if Wade is a possibility if he declared. I know 2 things about NFL drafts that are 100% true. If there is a Wisconsin OL on the board--take him. If there is a OSU DB on the board---take him.

Thats why you sign one in FA and leave the best OL or CB to take at 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be surprised with a defensive FA and offense heavy draft. Let young guys grow with Lock and crew. Plus might be counting on Fangio to be able to coach up less heralded defensive prospects. I’ve had a feeling with Denver dropping into the middle of the round Ruggs will be the pick. Elway wants his Hill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a better receiver than Ruggs and explosive enough. He might stay at Bama though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
