Some badly conserved Kombucha is being consumed in Minneapolis.:lol:
 
Well you can't really say for sure how many years he has left and you also need a good backup. Patriots are a Brady injury away from disaster
 
The Shaquem Griffin story is truly inspiring. Seems like a great dude and a real testament to what determination and belief can overcome. Not a Hawks fan, but I’ll be rooting for him.
 
Wonder how much players know about it when they get traded. Ryan Switzer was traded by the Cowboys last night, but just last evening he was tweeting about what the cowboys were doing in the draft, and he's deleted them all now.
 
Surprised at the Switzer trade and no clue about the potential of the DT they received in return.

Tavon Austin should provide a deep threat even though Dak can't throw that far.

Austin is coming as a running back .Switzer had a few good punt returns but was never going to be a top receiver.
 
I couldn’t stand Chubb when he was at NC State, but that was partly because he gave Clemson fits on the DL. Glad to have him on our side now.

I’m also really big on Jewell and Fumagalli. Jewell is a no-nonsense middle linebacker, and Fumagalli has potential to be an outstanding TE.
Denver Broncos: A
Draft picks: DE Bradley Chubb (NC State), WR Courtland Sutton (SMU), RB Royce Freeman (Oregon), CB Isaac Yiadom (Boston College), ILB Josey Jewell (Iowa), WR Daesean Hamilton (Penn State), TE Troy Fumagalli (Wisconsin), G Sam Jones (Arizona State), ILB Keishawn Bierria (Washington), RB David Willaims (Arkansas).

John Elway resisted the urge to move down or go for a quarterback, and it paid off with a stellar draft. Chubb was a steal to pair with Von Miller, and they still got their offensive help for Case Keenum with Sutton, Freeman and Fumagalli. Sutton and Hamilton also give them present support and future alternatives to Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Yiadom can be groomed as an Aqib Tailb replacement, and they unearthed a 3-4 tackling gem in Jewell. Denver's needs were met, and nothing close to a reach was made.

From what I've been reading it seems we've done really well in the draft, with most giving high grades to the picks.

Chubb, if he works out as expected, will put us back to having top level threats on both sides again like before Ware retired and should help take some pressure off the secondary.

Sanders and Thomas need some support on offense as well, so having a TE and backup WR is going to be helpful for Keenum.
 
On Golditch... his story will air on the 10am ET Sportscenter and the 11pm ET Sportscenter today.

On the Broncos... Chubb was legit in college. One man wrecking crew some games for the Wolfpack.

Fumagalli has already been a TE in an NFL style offense with Wisconsin and he’s freakin huge physically so he can slot right into the Broncos offense and definitely give Keenum a reliable outlet there.

Will that be on demand afterwards? We're in the US on Thursday so will have to see if I can find it, otherwise download it.

I really like the sound of Fumagalli from that! I'm gonna try and find some YouTube footage of all our picks soon.

I’d imagine so, and if not, I’m sure someone will put it online on YouTube or something.
 
So many uneducated, ill informed opinions on our draft. As is the way.

You're probably right on Switzer, I liked him though so am sad to see him go. That cnut was rapid.

I've watched Fumagalli quite a bit since we played them (and lost) in the bowl game last year. He will be a very good TE imo.

Overall, thought Elway hit it out of the park. He was gifted Chubb which he couldn't pass up.

Lots of receiving talent in Sutton, Hamilton and Fumagalli, along with a couple of RBs to replace Anderson and Charles.

Hopefully VJ has learnt some lessons from last year's disaster and can lead them to the post season.

That's the big wildcard. I think Keenum will hit the ground running with (hopefully) Sanders and Thomas in good form. Chubb will obviously be a day one starter as well and I expect him to make a big impact right away. Also expect Sutton to contribute quite a bit right away.

What? Austin has never been a RB in this league. That would be both a massive and ridiculous attempt.

I don't recall ever thinking Switzer would become top tier nonetheless it seemed an odd move but having added WRs it's not that surprising.

Hopefully that's a good omen considering we've had terrible feedback after great drafts, the F in 2012 from one reviewer springs to mind.

Austin had been mostly used as a running back for past three seasons . He looked a lot better there than as a wide receiver

Hurns and Williams will be our main receivers this test and I do like the look of Michael Gallup .

Tight End may be a problem now Witton is gone perhaps Rico Gathers will step up

Overall looking back at the draft i like what we did . There isn't a better offensive line in the game now VanDer Esch looks a beast
Elliott will have a point to prove, Dez was a distraction we should get play offs at least

Already had the best OL, then drafted one of the highest upside OLineman in the draft. That should violate laws against monopolies or something.

At least the Broncs took Sutton out from under your nose...
 
Didn't realize that Austin has been such a bust at WR that the Rams rather him run the ball than try to catch.

To be fair that nonsense started with Fisher, he ruined Austin.
 
Golic crucifying Akers rant. Hilarious. Speaking of, the rant was no different than Fowler taunting United fans - a player that contributed zero to those trophies trying to wind up a base. At least Fowler didn't sound like an intoxicated teen girl.

It's baffling that Fisher held onto his job for such a long time. What a truely terrible coach he was.
