They just aren't worth it, especially not in this draft class. This x10000000000. If we want another RB just spend a damn mid-round pick on one. Spend the FA money on Wolfe, a legit RG, a ILB and some depth. Use the draft to go after offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, pay what it takes on Reader/Pierce and Schobert/Littleton to shore up the front 7 and sign Amukamara for a friendly deal. Attack WR/OL in the draft and call it a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to be fair our last 4 mid round RBs off the top of my head: Hillman, Ball, Booker, Freeman ....so we def don't have the track record for getting a good player at that position with premium draft picks. If you can get a proven RB on like a one year deal I feel like I'd be cool with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt mind that either but if the Broncos are really letting Parks/CHJ/Wolfe/Shelby ALL walk out the door--they need to supplement those losses aggressively in FA. Go get both Reader and Pierce. A front with Von/Chubb/Pierce/Reader/Jones/Purcell/Atachou makes me happy. Edited March 16, 2020 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reader seems like their guy and I don't see how they don't supplement that with another signing, even a cheaper rotational guy like A'Shawn Robinson who can at least be a plus run defender. Losing a lot of snaps with Wolfe, Harris and Gotsis gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still cant believe they are letting all 3 walk....not even bringing back 1 of Wolfe/Harris is sort of strange considering how much cap space they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Purcell didn't look that bad though, did he? If Kinlaw can somehow fall to them, or they trade up for him that would seem amazing. But I thought the strategy the Broncos were aiming for was to buy the defense and draft the offense. I was totally on board with that line of think'n.

It might push a player like Kinlaw there though and if hes available and all 3 of the top WRs are off the board then I dont think you can pass on that.

If any of those three are there you take them. They are top 5 players in this draft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 BTW if ppl didn't think the FA market is a little nuts right now... At least Hargrave can play. Jimmy Graham is finished. What this tells me - DJ Reader is going to get insane $. I don't think Elway gets his guy here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 They need to quit trying to save pennies, bet on the new TV revenue and just get their guy. It's not going to be a drastic hurdle, much like it wasn't with Calais in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows you that Elway can negotiate his own price or let the market dictate.....granted the market weill slow down as less money is available but less talent is also the result.

Scoundrel Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I’m really surprised Littleton and Schobert haven’t signed somewhere yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 As of 7PM, Broncos still negotiating with DJ Reader, priority #1 IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
