KC Warpaint 3,251 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 After seeing this news: Oregon Ducks quarterback Justin Herbert will return to school for his senior season, he announced Wednesday in a statement released by the university. The QB market for the draft is mighty thin this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,210 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Make me wonder what Denver will do. Try to get another year out of Keenum, draft a QB in a weak class, or try again to pick up a free agent like Flacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to imagine starting this year but Denver with back to back losing seasons for the 1st time since the early 70's? That's on Elway...makes me feel all toasty inside seeing him fail.

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Elway has to solve the QB and HC answer and fast. Joe Ellis and Elway aren't the best of friends and will probably feel threatened the longer Elway stays. They are stuck with Casey Keenum another year, but gotta draft a QB.

His drafting has sucked If not for him getting Manning as a FA he would have been gone long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidfriend 1,151 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Elway had a fantastic draft this year, it's just muddled with some really bad drafts a bad QB and a bad HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say the same with our last draft. Denver got 3 capable starters in Chubb, Sutton, and Lindsey. We traded up for an overweight OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most are out of the NFL but if they are still in, they are playing else where. He has not hit in the first 3 rounds very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troyofoc 361 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Definitely a nice feeling knowing we are set at qb and a franchise one at that. Now if we can draft some capable starters on d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elway has got to come away with a QB soon, otherwise the decision to pass on one for Chubb is absolutely going to haunt him. Case Keenum prevented them from going to the playoffs.

Elway will probably go for someone like Flacco. He doesn't have time to "waste" on a rookie QB. The team is in a major decline and the solid defense is getting weaker by the year. He'll definitely draft one for the future but not sure if they stick with Keenum. Dead money is 10 million which is a lot but they could definitely handle it if Elways is high on a guy like Flacco (not sure who else is out there).

Of course Chubb and Sutton were both long gone by the time we made our first pick and Lindsey wasn’t drafted at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver definitely had a better draft than us last year. 3 capable starters 2 of which look like the real deal and Sutton looks like he'll be solid as well. However that has rarely been the case for them in the Elway era. We have been drafting terribly for quite a while but up to this year it wasn't worse than the Broncos.
