If we go into next season with Bridgewater and Lock as the QBs then I give this draft an F for failing to take Fields when he fell into their lap. I already posted that it looks like the Rodgers situation will likely end with the Gm deservedly being canned. If I was Paton I would hate to have to explain to this ownership or more importantly new ownership why I didn't select Fields. More importantly if I was said ownership (current/new) I would ask him to explain why Jones wasn't selected as well. My thinking here is if you dislike Fields so much wouldn't you value Jones skills assets - like what the hell is inbetween? I'd be asking like wtf kind of qb do you want? Do you really think teams are just going to hand you a qb? And do you not see the inherent value of developing your own. I would have a feeling I would can him after this conversation even though the draft minus the Fields debacle was pretty damn good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in-between is that they think there’s still (significant?) progress left in Drew Lock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right but I'm tired of hoping on the same guy and I was a big big fan of his originally. Something new would have been nice. This is a good team and don't get me wrong as I previously had said this current cast of players is just wasting their time. It's I just don't see true success without a legit qb. I see us actually winning 7-10 games but really is that what these guys deserve when a legit qb gets us over the hump. I do hope we get Rodgers somehow........

I could see that, but I think James will surprize us and we will have better depth at oL than we have had in a while. Wish we had picked up one more guy.... Perhaps the two CFAs will show some promise... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I think they regret the Glasgow contract in hindsight. He’s fine and shows up but they don’t really need him and he’s expensive. I’m sure they’ll move him next year, release James and clear out a ton of OL money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Bolles and James all our OL guys can play multiple spots. As options at center we've got Cush, Meinerz, Glasgow, Schlottman and Morris. This year could look a lot like musical chairs. Lot's of ways to get the best five on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it interesting that Meinerz was drafted as a Guard rather than a Center, especially since he's rated as the 2nd best Center in this draft by many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cutler06 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Looking into WR Seth Williams, beyond his good size he has 4.49 speed with long arms (33 1/2"). He was projected as a late 5th rder in a few mocks so looks like good value. Never hurts to have another red-zone target, will compete with Tyrie Cleveland who has similar skillset (6'2"/205lbs/4.46) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure we ran with 6 WR’s last year (Jeudy, Hamler, Patrick, Cleveland, Hamilton, and Spencer?), which makes me think Hamilton will have to clearly beat out either Cleveland or Williams to stay in Denver. I wouldn’t bet on that, as it would mean spending $2.2M on a 5th/6th WR, and cutting a promising young receiver in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure everyone has heard Hamilton is on the trading block, he's obviously the weakest ling IMO yet he has had a few decent games with Lock. If there is a pre-season, I expect him to get some showcasing to enhance ANY trade value. On that same note, wondering who else may be on the trading block, I'd bet Glasgow might draw some interest, maybe Freeman or even Ojemudia ??

He underwhelmed last season, but was far from bad. It would be crazy to jettison our one vet on the interior and leave those three spots to a struggling Risner, a horrible Cush, and three complete unknowns in Meinerz, Schlottmann, and Muti. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paton likes to build the trenches through the draft... I am bummed out that we did not get a tackle in the 5th... I really wanted two quality additions to the line this offseason. To me this is the biggest miss in the draft. I think I will break down each OLmen and get a feel for our true depth... I am tired of injuries and opt outs in the OL derailing our offense. It seems like we have been paper thin for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coordination between the RT and Glasgow was a mess as the RT spot was a disaster. I think Glasgow will play better and avoid injury if he and James can work together in the offseason and get in sync... I like Glasgow overall.
