If this group comes together, okay, but if not shore up the OL. We can get a top rated QB in the drafts after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not that I have any aversion to that, but your demeanor ALWAYS goes to the big uglies AKRNA 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Bolles is probably never the guy we saw in late 2019-2020 again. Need to prioritize LT in a big way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncos67 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 There needs to continue to be a talent influx into this team. OL, DL, QB are all positions that we should not be hesitating to improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Williams should be atop everyone's list. He's a generational prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb’s great, should make a great pro. I want to see more examples of him processing progressions though. A lot of his highlights are single-read’s that have been schemed open for him, similar to (but not as pronounced as) Justin Fields. Watching Drake Maye, he regularly makes reads at lightning speed. He’s the next Herbert or Lawrence, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically we’re never picking 1.1. But we could be up In range for the next tier. Russ certainly is better this year but not enough to bypass if there’s a guy Payton is in love with.

I know we don’t think Payton would tank a whole season, but… It’s common knowledge that his greatest regret in terms of player personnel is not pulling the trigger on a trade up for Pat Mahomes. Caleb Williams is the closest thing to Mahomes that we’ve seen, and unless you finish the season with 1.1, the cost to move up to that spot will be immense. Is a stealthy tank job possible?

He also has USC stink. The last good QB to come out of there was Carson Palmer, every once since - Darnold, Barkley, Sanchez, Booty, Leinart - have all been total busts. Before Carson, there was Robb Johnson, Todd Marinovich, Rodney Peete and Sean Salisbury. Oof. Lawrence, Luck, Peyton and Elway were the only true “generational” prospects. Maybe Williams can buck the USC trend and, I will say this, after our first two weeks I will be watching USC much more closely this year and for reasons beyond destroying CU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as things are Payton has made so many improvements to our scheme I don’t see it. We could easily be picking in the 5-10 range if it all goes south. I mean it happened last year. But here’s the thing - players don’t tank. Paton knows he’s on the hot seat. Nothing Payton has done suggests he’s trying to lose. VJ IMO is just a terrible DC. I don’t think he’s trying to tank he’s just not good at it. Given the talent we still have on the squad we’ll be good enough to win our share of games so that 6-10 pick is the range I think we end up at in a disaster scenario. Which isn’t really a disaster if it gets us our QBOTF. Obv 1.1 is only way you get Caleb. But if we aren’t in the playoff hunt then getting the earliest pick is fine with me - just don’t see it that early this year. If we lose Jeudy, Simmons and/or PS2 for extended stretches - then anything is possible. But with those 3 and Payton coaching I think 6-10 us our pick ceiling. I remember it was asked if fans would accept the rebuild and tank needed after Russ was acquired. I was ok with it then; I knew it would come - and if it’s this year (or next), then so be it. Just figured it was 4+ years down the line, and not 2+. I don’t think the team is as bad as 2018, and so many other teams are going to pack it in early sooner than we will. Oh well.

To be fair it’s a different era altogether now especially with NIL. I mean Stroud literally posted the best line from an OSU QB by a mile. Obv only 1 game but even his college tape looked different (that Georgia game was ridiculous vs a pro level D too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncofan48 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Idk bears, maybe jets, Texans and maybe raiders? That’s only 4 wins I’d be comfortable even lightly penciling in. I think a top 3 pick is looking likely with Cards being obvious #1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
