BroncoBruin Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 What a great move. This guy is the dime LB prototype. Basically an early 5th round value for a 2nd rounder who’s played one year of football and can be kept cheap for three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea/premise of using those later round picks to consolidate and move up into that 2/3 round range, even if Elway's track record isn't the best there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Per what I just posted from Klis, Elway has really done a nice job parlaying some of our draft picks into players and setting us up with some extra picks in the future. He's handled this very well, there was no way 11 rookies were going to make the team and filled some needs - #3 CB, RT, LB/S - but still have five picks in the top 106. I like it.

As of now has traded Talib and Simeon for Veldheer and Cravens and not given up our draft capital. We solved a locker room problem, traded away a big contract and strengthened up positions of need. He upgraded the QB, CB an DL through Free-Agency and we are still a major player in the draft. Not sexy, but gotta give him credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a situation that both needed to move on from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Elway saw what most saw: the FA class was as shallow as it’s ever been so to bring in real upgrades i.e. not just burn through money he had to get creative without mortgaging valuable picks. McDonald, Veldheer and Cravens is a nice haul in just about a week. Bring in a cheap veteran TE and they can move on to the draft now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get why the trade was made, it makes a lot of sense for multiple reasons, but we're going to miss Talib both on the field and in the locker room this year.

I aint hating on Talib and should have stated that differently. My statement was more related to the narrative that has been floating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if a RB is taken with #5, #40, or #71 to try and get another day 2 pick. (If no QB I'm firmly on the Barkley train) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The late 5th we gave up came from the Sambrailo trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
