Broncofan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 3 hours ago, The Helicopter said: So, you don't see 1.1 or 1.2 picks in the 2018 draft getting traded...but, 1.3 & 1.4 will be interesting to watch. If that's the scenario and there are multiple teams interested, then based on past trades I imagine the cost will be very high. In that reality the question is how much is Darnold worth trading up for? I think Barkley and Rosen go 1-2. Barkley is putting up a never before seen athletic profile to go with elite tape and size / skills and success in the Big 10 since his rookie season. Certainly if a team wants them they can’t gamble on them falling past those 2 picks. Typically 2.7 alone is enough by standard draft value to justify a move from 1.5 to 1.3. Adding the 2019 3rd is factoring the extra cost FWIW. Keep in mind if IND wants DE Chubb or Nelson they can’t fall too far back. Nothing is a lock but that’s the thinking. Maybe we need a 2019 2nd plus 2.7 but given IND would love to get the top EDGE / OL still and get more picks the match definitely is there - IND wants more picks but also love Chubb/Nelson. Nothing is a lock but it all fits. EDIT: Forgot to answer the last Q - given I'm not seeing Rosen available, but Darnold at 1.3 (and a strong likelihood IND trades out to let someone trade up to get him) - I certainly see Darnold worth 2.7 and a 2019 3rd....if the alternative is Josh Allen. As much as some guys love Mayfield, I'm terrified that for Elway it's Allen if it's not Rosen/Darnold. Allen's absolute bust floor is worth avoiding - I have a lot of belief Darnold will be a franchise level QB, but his floor is also way safer than Allen's by a fair margin. That I'd pay for in a heartbeat, so long as it's not a top 5-10 pick next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Elway is the wildcard in that he may not want to give up a second round pick to move up for a specific QB. I wonder what Kubiak would do?

I should add there’s another terrifying scenario besides Elway standing pat and taking Allen over Mayfield at 1.5 if they are the QB left there - Elway doing exactly what I said above and trading up...to get Allen over Darnold and Mayfield. I pray Elway and Kubiak have Rosen-Darnold-Allen as the clear 1-2-3 and sees Darnold the same way I do compared to Allen. That’s certainly no given. I admit that nighmare has me waking up screaming “nooooo” 2-3x lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I think I'm coming around on Cousins but I'll explain in the draft thread. Its not so much I believe in Cousins it's more the team we can field not having to spend a top 5 pick possibly more on a qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRNA Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 If we can't seriously strengthen our OL, specifically our ability to stop A and B gab blitzes and interior pressure the only college QB that's got a chance in Denver is Mayfield. Sounds great to get a QBOTF but if you let him get hit as often as our QB's do the "OTF" part is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebestever6 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 You know who I think might be screwed in the Cousins mess. The Greenbay Packers. Aaron Rodgers is reported to be waiting for Cousins to sign. Cousins is rumored to want a 3 year 90 million fully guaranteed deal. Can the Packers one up that with Rodgers? Guy just broke his collar bone again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Green Bay is notoriously frugal in free agency so might not affect them *as* much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a time to be an nfl qb to be injured most of the year and still get paid the highest most guaranteed contract is bananas. I get it they have no choice I'm just glad I'm not them.

Also they've done a poor job at replenishing their oline talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather take my chances with a draft pick. Anyone of Rosen, Mayfield, or Darnold is fine with me. Cousins is not a guy that can carry a team, so it doesn't make since for us to pay him that. We are not a "30 million dollar Kirk Cousins" away from competing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
