Broncos 2018 NFL Draft

[Draft Crazy]

Speaking of drafts. 236 players declared for the NBA draft (may whom did not sign with an agent and will return)

We can talk about how many picks we get via trading down all day long.

What we do with those picks and who we draft is infinitely more important. Right now, I'm not overly optimistic.

And like I said I know of 3 teams that right now are talking to the Broncos about what it would cost to trade up. I think some might be shocked at what the Broncos get in good value for that pick. There are two teams for sure that if Allen is there are going nuts to try and trade up. I won't say right now the last rumor I heard of what was offered to the Broncos but it is a pretty sweet deal that would be hard to pass up.

Cmon Carl, tell us! We won’t say a word

Buffalo offering #12, #22, #53 and next year's 1st?

Latest I am hearing this morning is the Browns are cooling off on Sam Darnold despite the report a few days ago.

Now saying the Browns are down to Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen.

Ive always felt Allen would be the #1 pick based on tools. But we will see.

Wonder if Denver goes up if Darnold is there at #2 or wait it out hoping NYG does not select a QB pushing both their top QBs to 3 or 4.

I believe Broncos fans are being set up for a huge disappointment expecting more than they are going to get.

12 and 22 is already worth 1980 vs #5 being 1700. Of course if someone is desperate for a QB, they will pay more. But even getting one more second round pick would be icing on the cake for Denver. Buffalo's #53 is worth 370 - so that totals 2350. 650 over value which is equivelent to getting pick #28 or 29 as a bonus. I'd be very satisfied with that - forget about getting 10,000 other picks.

Are you forgetting that in the 58 year history of the Denver Broncos - their best QB draft pick has been Brian Griese, but every Super successful QB the Broncos have had came in a trade or by FA?

Yeah I would imagine the Giants are gonna be in super position at 2 either way ya look at it this draft. The trade offers are gonna be hard for them to pass.

Why Griese and not Cutler. To me its not even close. Cutler was the best QB draft pick.

Nope. I’m never forgetful.

But also over the past 25 years we haven’t had many opportunities to be selecting in the top 10. We did well last time getting Von, and this is another critical selection.

 

[Draft Crazy]

The Giants have always said they would take Darnold #2 if he was there. Let's see how honest they were.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Ill say it.

It just baffles me that Baker Mayfield could be the #1 pick in this draft. I just don't get it.

Haha well last offer I heard was the Cardinals were considering offering their 1st this year, next year, and the year after that plus more.

Buffalo last I heard were offering their 2 1st round picks, 2 3rd round picks, and a future 2nd or 3rd round pick next year.

 

[cdumler7]

Ill say it.

It just baffles me that Baker Mayfield could be the #1 pick in this draft. I just don't get it.

It baffles me that more haven't listed him higher until about the last week or so.

 

[cdumler7]

I would say the only way the Broncos go QB in the 1st at this point is if the Browns go Allen #1 overall, Giants stick with Barkley leaving the top-2 QB's on the Broncos board in Mayfield and Darnold to have one fall to them at 5.

 

[cdumler7]

From what I have gathered the Broncos have taken Rosen off their board. Character concerns and durability are just making it hard for them to think he will be a long-term player in the NFL.

 

[Mingo]

Why Griese and not Cutler. To me its not even close. Cutler was the best QB draft pick.

Because Brian Griese still holds the Bronco franchise record for passing percentage. But, I did forget about Cutler.

It is still a giant crap shoot at hitting a QB in the top ten who will have a top career (you can look it up).

 

[Draft Crazy]

Just randomly thinking of other QB's we have drafted since I started watching the draft when I was in 2nd grade (not sure what year that was)

Tommy Maddox
Shawn Moore
Jarius Jackson
Jeff Lewis
Zac Dysert
Tim Tebow
Brock Osweiler
Trevor Suckmien
Paxton Lynch
Tom Brandstater
Bradlee Van Pelt
Matt Mauck


Who am I forgetting?

Looks like a pretty complete list. I think people have to keep in mind that the Broncos have not picked a QB in the top-10. Elway is the closest thing but they traded for him. So if you count Elway then they have a 100% success rate when picking that high. I'm going to have to look up the stats but the QB hit rate after the top-10 is a huge drop off.
