AnAngryAmerican Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 1 minute ago, grizmo78 said: Pretty telling that future year picks haven't been really been traded. George wants to build the team. He’s opaque in terms of leaks but what he has said - having the team play meaningful football in Nov and Dec, promising to solve the QB problem, wanting to have a “lot of darts” to throw in the draft - have all come true. Despite pisspoor coaching and QB play, we did have something to play for in November and some of December last year. He did solve the QB problem by trading for a future Hall of Famer who has 6-8 years left. And he will make 8-10 picks, have many darts to throw, this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say i'm pretty disappointed in the trade down and not taking Travis Jones. We need interior depth pretty bad and while Jones is primarily a run stuffer, he has the athleticism to develop into more of a pass rusher. Was great value at that point. He didn't get a steal for the pick either to get particularly excited about this specific trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We signed DJ Jones from the 49ers to play the run stuffer role and from everything I have seen and heard he’s pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Dulcich is a nice get. I don’t think he’s *great* but he’s got nice pass catching chops. Can’t really block but he’s definitely got some YAC ability. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, he'll be amazing, but outside of Jones and Jones, there's not much to be excited about, even potential wise. Back up TE makes sense as it was a big need for us and Dulcich is a nice player at the right value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dulcich isn't a terrible pick, but I think it's a limited ceiling pick, especially since it's a move TE. Unless his blocking improves by leaps & bounds, not sure he'd ever challenge Albert O for the move position, where he can really excel. In a vacuum, it's an OK pick, but I think we had much better talents on the board. Guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two DL that I have any sort of comfort with when they’re on the field. Easily the most overlooked need on this team. Dulcich is fine! Preferred Ruckert, but Dulcich is the much superior athlete, so that tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 And PHI gets Dean at 83. Definitely the guy I would have had at the top at 80. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Meh on Dulcich. We have a starting move TE in Albert O. If we weren’t going to land Trey McBride I’d say just forgo that spot, McBride was at least a 3-down TE. Maybe George sees something the others don’t but I'm a little iffy in this one when we have big needs on defense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Kind of a UCLA homer pick. Would have liked Leal or Winfrey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncos_fan _from _uk Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I wonder if we plan to run a lot of 2 move TE sets? Kind of like NE did with Gronk and the murderer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Honestly, I don’t have a ton of reason to doubt George Paton thus far. He’s been extremely good in the draft. Don’t love the Dulcich pick but don’t hate it either. would be semi interested in Daniel Faalele at the next pick. I doubt we’ll go that route though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
