MikeT14 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Figured I'd update my "mock offseason" for you all in the social distancing mock going on here: Moves made: Traded Trent Williams and my 7th rounder Pick 217 to the Broncos for Garrett Bolles, Round 3 Pick 77 and Round 6 Pick 204 - Basically swapped back the picks from the Case Keenum trade, gained a 3rd, and gained a guy that can be competent at LT. Traded Ryan Kerrigan and my 7th rounder pick 230 to the Bucs for OJ Howard and a Round 4 Pick 117. Traded Trey Quinn for a 6th Rounder Pick 204 from the Saints Did the IRL swaps for QD and Kyle Allen Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio State Round 1 Pick 2 Prince Tega Wanogho, OT, Auburn Round 3 Pick 66 Cameron Dantzler, CB, Miss S Round 3 Pick 77 ( lost Trent Williams gained Garrett Bolles) Adam Trautman - TE -Round 4 Pick 108 KJ Hill, WR, Ohio State Round 4 Pick 117 (Also gained OJ Howard) Joe Bachie - ILB - Michigan State - Round 4 Pick 142 Round 5 Pick 162 (QD) Round 6 Pick 182 (Trent Williams) Round 6 Pick 204 (Trey Quinn) Round 7 Pick 217 (Gone, OJ Howard Ryan Kerrigan trade) Round 7 Pick 230 (Gone Trent) Round 5 Pick 148 went to CAR for Kyle Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganF89 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I’m alright with that Trent trade and I would love that Kerrigan trade but that would never happen. they aren’t gonna trade Howard after just signing Brady. And Howard would also be worth a 2nd rounder IMO no way we turn Ryan Kerrigan into OJ Howard and a 4th. That’s a Kings ransom for us and if we got bolles I would have a a competition with Bolles, Christian, and Lucas. Best man wins, so I wouldn’t go LT in the 3rd, prob target that next year if none of the 3 price they can hold the job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I’d rather see Gerron Christian play then Bolles and no, that’s not a joke. Bolles hasn’t been good. There’s no reason to trade for him. I don’t think Kerrigan is going to get traded and I see no reason to trade Quinn who’s at worst a reliable back up slot receiver and return man.

There’s no reason to trade for him. I disagree so wholeheartedly with this. He's not great, no. But he'd be the best LT we have despite whatever you want to say about Christian. Bolles big issue is penalties more than giving up sacks or anything like that. It might be correctable. https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/garett-bolles/11775 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think that if they didn't want to give him his shot last year, they knew. Or I guess he had it in training camp some. I'm willing to cut bait. I can also let Moses walk after 2022 or move on after next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was more Gruden and Bruce couldn't afford to roll the dice on him. Why not give him a shot this year? We invested a 3rd in him. If he blows through preseason and a couple of games I'm sure we could just bring Penn in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRL, sure, if that's how you want to roll. I'd rather try and find our future LT now as I doubt it is him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to carry 5 OTs? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut the OT we just signed who even if we traded for Bolles would still be our best run blocking OT and had the best season of Bolles, Christian or Moses last year. Also, you do realize that Garrett Bolles is essentially the LT version if Morgan Moses right? He's capable, but not competent. https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/john-elway-addresses-whether-denver-broncos-are-comfortable-with-garett-bolles-as-starter-in-2020 All in, Bolles finished the 2019 regular season as eighth-most penalized player in the NFL, based on accepted penalties. If you rank him simply based on the number of flags that were thrown (17), he finished second in the league behind only Houston's Laremy Tunsil.

e16bball Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Fine with putting Bolles in there for a year. From what I understand, he’s more an issue with penalties (holding especially) than with getting beaten and getting the QB killed. Would be devastated if they passed on Pittman for a guy like Prince though. LTs are a lot like QBs — if no one likes them in the 1st round, odds are the flaws are too substantial for them to be more than a hope/project. Prince is another Geron Christian, a great athlete but you take him with knowledge that it will be a couple years until you can really consider making him the anchor of your OL. Pittman is going to be an excellent, highly reliable possession-type WR in the league for a long time. He’s the perfect complement to Terry and Sims. I’m thrilled that he made it to us in this mock — I don’t think it’ll happen in real life, but I sure hope they don’t pass if he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
