At this point we have enough positions that could use additional talent that we should be focused on BPA far more than anything else. CB, Safety, WR, IDL, edge, TE all would make sense to me right now.

Look at Payton’s tenure with the Saints, and they’d often be having 1 or 2 back ups filling in and having no drop off in OL play. Coaching and scheme matters far more than individual talent. I could maybe see a round 3/4 OT but that’s it.
Devin White fucking sucks. Jewell and Singleton together is absolutely a better pairing than any one of them and White lol
THE MIAMI DOLPHINS HAVE OFFICIALY BEAT A WINNING TEAM
BRONCOS COUNTRY
O/U on passing yards for today should be like 180
I’m from NE Ohio; a hour outside of Cleveland. It’s absolutely from Elway and the 80s
We could still use a CB, if the value is there. McMillian is a slot corner. If someone like McKinstry or King is BPA, I don’t think we could go wrong taking them. Or DeJean is his injury causes him to slide to day 2.
Undersized + not great speed. Even when comparing him to CHJ, who otherwise fits a very similar, McMillian has 29" arms. CHJ had very long arms for his build, 33", which is a big part of the reason why he could exceed playing on the boundary. Not sure if McMillian will be able to have the same success as a boundary corner, but I’d be glad to be proven wrong.
What McMillian does have though - lateral agility, toughness, football IQ - makes him the ideal slot corner.
We have our FRP, but don’t have a 2nd rounder. (Part of the Payton trade). We’re also down our 3rd round pick, but have a 3rd from the Saints.
Another week, another game where JaQuan McMillian was arguably the best player on our D. Dude is a baller, dont think we’re gonna have to worry about the slot for the foreseeable future
We’ve played a pretty brutal schedule of passing defenses. Jets, Chiefs x2, Vikings are all top 5/10 level defenses. Even the Bills, whose numbers on the season don’t look great, are tough to play schematically and typically defend tbe pass well.
Unfortunately it doesn’t get better next week, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we see an uptick in passing production to end the season.
5 weeks ago people were saying we had to trade guys like Surtain, Bolles, Simmons because they’ve only been apart of losing cultures and you can’t establish a winning team with players like that
People are insane man. I don’t know how you can be a fan of this sport and believe in some of the narratives these guys believe in. Things can change in the blink of the eye in the NFL - it never takes 5 years to build a team in the NFL, especially when you have a coach like Payton
When people were talking about draft position I said if the Broncos were going to be a good team in the near future it wasn’t going to be because of draft stock, it’s going to be because Sean Payton is a top tier HC, and I’ll stand by that
I’m not gonna lie and pretend I understand our cap situation this off season, but I’d love to see Sutton and Jeudy next year along with a rookie WR like Nabers (provided he’s the best value where we pick). Throw in some development from Mims and the WR corps is looking good.
This is one of the lamest celebrations an NFL player has done lol
LBs are way cooler. The existence of Divine Deablo is more than enough to prove that
The Eagles traded Terrell Edmunds (a below replacement level safety) a 5th, and a 6th for Kevin Byard, who has similar value to Simmons. So just a 5th round pick would be too little, but it’s not like he’d be worth significantly more. Though I don’t think a trade would have been a good idea, the value he brings to the franchise is absolutely worth more than a 4th rounder.
Can’t get over how well Ja’Quan McMillian has been playing since he entered the line up and yesterday felt like his arrival to the spotlight. Just an elite, dominating performance. It takes an entire defensive effort to hold the Chiefs to 0 TDs but McMillian was the best player on the defense yesterday.
It’s technically McMillian’s 2nd season, but he reminds me a lot of rookie CHJ. Undersized slot CB who plays physical and way bigger than his size, high football IQ, extremely confident, and just a really scrappy player who epitomizes got that dawg in him.
I’m prepared to be hurt and expecting the team to come out flat against the Bills but if we manage to beat the Bills or honestly even just play a really competitive game I’m taking the hype train to the moon. I feel like this is the 4th strong showing in a row by the defense. VJ has them playing well right now, there’s so many guys I can talk about but it feels like it’s really coming together on that side of the ball.
LET IT BE KNOWN THAT NOBODY BEATS THE DENVER BRONCOS 17 TIMES IN A ROW!!!
I think Denver matches up well, being on the road makes it tougher. The Texans skill players are massively outplaying expectations, but Denver has the secondary to win that match up. OL wise they’re very beatable, Tunsil is very good and Mason is another good player but otherwise I think we should be able to get some good pressure. I think with our varied coverages and pressure looks we have the defense to cause Stroud to have one of his rookie games. Their run game is fairly weak which is huge for Denver. We’re the best secondary they’ve faced yet, and they’ve had lower outputs against some good secondaries like the Saints, Falcons
They have some pass rushers, but their defense is the weakest we’ve faced in months. Probably since the Bears game. If the team can continue to success on the ground game that’ll be huge, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of the most productive games for the passing O so far.
Of course these things never play out as expected so I guess we’ll see lol
