notthatbluestuff Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Jurrell Casey, AJ Bouye and Melvin Gordon could all be good acquisitions. Courtland Sutton is a stud. Depending on how Drew Lock pans out, the Broncos could be in a good position to fight for a wild card spot this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's all about lock. Gordon doesn't move the needle for me, and bouye is at best a lateral move from Chris Harris. Casey is a really nice move, but this team is moving on from Wolfe and Harris it looks like. So are these moves legit needle moving improvements? What's the actual net gain from the moves you just mentioned. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gordon's an upgrade on Freeman for sure and Casey is a step up for them too, even knowing they're gonna lose guys. Can't forget they're going to get a healthy Chubb back as well. I like how this team is coming together a lot, building off of a strong finish to last year. Definitely still comes down to Lock but assuming he doesn't crater, I can easily see them in the wild card mix especially with the added playoff spot in play now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Are they better than last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trojan Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) If they land a top LT maybe, or Bolles magically stops committing penalties. Edited March 20, 2020 by Trojan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berlin calling Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Broncos may have gotten better on paper but does it help them in the AFCW? can't see them pass KC or LA, and LV with 2 1st round picks is gonna be stacked. to me they'll still be bottom dwellers, however they did certainly improve their roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely still comes down to Lock but assuming he doesn't crater, I can easily see them in the wild card mix especially with the added playoff spot in play now. Healthy Chubb is the most beneficial thing out of all of those in my opinion, and that wasn't a move that they made. The moves are a modest gain at this point (although I feel like I'm forgetting one) Here's the thing...that team finished 7 - 9 last year. They got hosed in the Chicago game (so likely should have been 8-8), they lost to Jax by 2 on a last second field goal, lost by 2 to the colts on a 50+ yard GW Vinatiari field goal that the guy likelyl misses 8 out of 10 times last year he was so bad. I don't think that the team was as bad people believe. If their losses go in a different order (IE, not starting 0-4), they are probably on the periphery of the WC hunt for most of the season, and the team easy could have finished 9-7 as opposed to 7-9, and at the very least probably should have been 8-8 after getting hosed against Chicago. So saying they are fringe WC really isn't even an improvement in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 If Chargers get a QB, I think the Raiders/Chargers/Broncos will all be very competitive for #2 and possibly a wildcard spot. Very good division. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Melvin Gordon is 26. He didn’t just all of a sudden forget how play. And the biggest addition is Chubb back from injury. I think they look nice. Could still use another piece on the Oline but if Lock lives up to the hype I think they’re going to be a good football team.

Kiltman Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Got some talent, but depends on Lock..signing Gordon was dumb. That division as a whole could be brutal pretty soon. But the AFC at large kinda sucks. And the extra wildcard spot makes it even more likely they could sneak in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
