In the NFL if I had to pick the best spot for him I'd put him at LG but he can play any of the 3 IOL spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncosFan2010 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Honestly, I like this pick the more I think about it. The only way to defeat KC is going to be taking risks on boom / bust picks. Your not going to beat them by having OL depth, or a nice little middling ILB, or a decent CB4. Your going to beat them by getting lucky on high upside, potentially high impact playmakers on both sides of the ball. We are in a position where KC may be the Golden State Warriors of the NFL and dominate for years. We have to go through them to go anywhere, and their otherworldly QB is only 24. We are going to be trying to beat him for the next 6 years at the very least. To do that, we need to shoot for the stars on most of these picks. Your not going to beat that team by building some old school, solid across the board roster. You absolutely need elite speed on offense, and elite playmaking on defense. Its a new day in the NFL and I for one like this go-big-or-go-home strategy that Elway has concocted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I feel like this draft is for the fans more than lock. I mean how long have we waited to have a relevant offense post Manning these weapons look to be the most of my lifetime which is scary.

I guess 1 thing to think of is that if you are going to put together an offense where Fant, and his athleticism play an important role, you’re kinda screwed if he gets hurt if your backups are Butt and Fumagali. Your backup here mirrors the unique skill set of the starter, so easier to replace if Fant goes down with an injury? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got him weapons and a familiar target/teammate from Mizzou! It's like when the Colts drafted Coby Fleener in 2012 (of course, I think that Albert may be better than Fleener, who wasn't that good).

BroncoBruin Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 The vision is clear. They’re trusting their best coaches to get competent play out of some unknowns. Can’t coach the ability to separate and stress defenses. Just load up on game breaking athletes and it’s a lot easier for Shurmur to call plays. I think the one thing they’ll feel disappointed about is not finding an athletic upgrade on Todd Davis. But I’ve said all along they didn’t desperately need to. Can Hollins become that sub-package guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncosFan2010 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I can’t believe Amik is still on the board. If we want playmakers on both sides of the ball, and pretty clearly we do, he needs to be in the mix R5. This kid Ian going to Ben good, very good.

AKRNA Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Just now, DiehardBronxFan said: And what we all wanted to get him was a LT LOL I think Lock would have had a bit of a problem with us replacing Bolles. In his 5 game career he hasn't had any problems with pressure / sacks / hits from his blindside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 With Howard, Njoku and Engram likely on the trade block, ain't nobody giving up a pick for Heuerman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
