Copied! The Denver Broncos are at an interesting crossroads as we head toward the 2021 NFL Draft later this month. What new GM George Paton does at the quarterback position will speak volumes about what the new brass thinks about Drew Lock and how his future might unfold in Denver. Do the Broncos trade up in the draft to snag one of the top signal-callers by, say, moving up to No. 4 overall? If one of the top QBs falls to No. 9, where the Broncos sit, does Paton pull the trigger? Or w...

Apr 11, 2021 Since arriving in Denver as a Broncos second-round pick back in 2019, its no secret that Drew Lock has importuned Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning for tips and advice. Manning, the NFLs only five-time MVP, has been open and willing to helping Lock when the phone rings.  Last spring, we learned that Lock had sought Mannings advice about how to approach the offseason, from study habits, to nutrition and self-care, to organizing throwing sessions with teammates away from the building. As...

You have got to be kidding me!? By zak_bella on Apr 1, 2021, 12:40pm EDT + If Im reading things here correctly and not simply imagining things, it looks like about 50% of the fan base here on cincy jungle would take Jamar Chase over Penei Sewell. Do you guys have such a short memory that you forgot about what happened last year? Sure, we got Pollack back, wonderful. We signed Riley Reiff to replace Hart, amazing. That isnt going to be enough to truly fix this offensive line though a...

Trey Lance should be drafted at the seventh pick in the NFL draft, by George! Here’s the deal: The Broncos trade Nos. 9, 71 (third round) and 252 (their third seventh-round selection) to the Lions and receive Nos. 7 and 113 (fourth round). General manager George Paton uses the team’s second-round choice on Clemson’s Travis Etienne, Alabama’s Najee Harris or the appropriately named Kenny Gainwell from Memphis. The G-Man could add the dynamic quarterback and a terrific running back, then ...

Unfortunately there is not that much data available (for free) about the performance of offensive linemen. There is the publicly available data from PFF (which gives the overall rating of the player on the 0-100 scale and their color grade) and there is penalty data freely available from nflpenalties.com and recently pro-football...

With only nine days before the opening of free agency, it seemed like the right time to write a primer on what’s ahead for George Paton. With an injury-marred, 5-11 season in the rearview and Patrick Mahomes between them and the playoffs, the Broncos have their work cut out for them this off-season. Credit to both Bernd Buchmasser and rcon14 for the inspiration and framework below. NFL Cap Situation As I write this, we still don’t know the official cap ceiling, though I suspect that chan...

Keep him around these hills for another season. Anything less than awesomeness, and its time for the expensive and no-show right tackle to go. “(James) has a lot of work to do to get where he needs to be, and I know he’ll do that,” standout left tackle Garett Bolles said last season. I don’t know he’ll do that. Do you? Nobody here has seen James do that. Two years into a contract worth $51 million when he signed it, James has earned roughly $272,222 for each of the 63 snaps he’s tak...

Where in the Draft Can You Find Good OLs? By TarkentonToJones on Feb 27, 2021, 9:34pm EST + A month or so ago, I looked at where good WRs come from in the NFL draft. The answer was that the great WRs are usually found in rounds 1, 2, and 3, with round 2 not being much worse than round 1. Many Giants fans want the team to draft OLs in the first two rounds despite us taking OLs in rounds 1,3,5 last year. What do previous drafts have to tell us about this? As before, I used the Pro F...
