Logic Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Interesting. Likely takes them out of the 1st round quarterback market. I'll forever LOL at Elway for passing on Allen and then taking Drew Lock the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Damn, a 6th and replaced by Darnold. What happened to this kid? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, Virgil said: Damn, a 6th and replaced by Darnold. What happened to this kid? He was only a game manager prior to his injury in 2016 and think it cost him development time.

ColoradoBills Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 LOL. Now all my friends who are Donkey fans here in Colorado will have the QB controversy as soon as Lock has a bad game! Way to go Elway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin C Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The Broncos always seem to be a year off when it comes to drafting QBs. And from what I have read next year's QB class is not as good as this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Darn it, darn it, darn it. My final mock which I am finalising to publish in the morning included the line "The Broncos have talked about competition for Drew Lock but I don't believe it comes in the first round of the NFL draft. Much more likely is a trade with the Carolina Panthers to acquire Teddy Bridgewater to allow the new GM to assess Lock in 2021 before taking a decision about the future at the position." They stole my thunder!!! 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this trade makes 0 sense for Denver. Why trade for a guy no better than Lock? Either draft a guy in the first round or let it ride with what they have.

To be fair to ELway, Chubb was rated much higher than Allen as a player and the thought of him paired with Miller made a ton of sense at the time. But yeah, I’m sure Elway can’t be happy in retrospect. As are several teams that passed on Allen, I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from what I have read next year's QB class is not as good as this one. Agreed. And again: In 2018, they were in need of a QB, and Josh Allen played college ball just two hours drive from Denver. He was right in the Broncos' own back yard. But for some reason, for the first and only time in his life, John Elway decided NOT to draft a big, strong, fast kid with a howitzer for an arm -- only to turn around the next year and draft the bargain basement version of Allen instead. I'll never, ever understand it, but will always be thankful it happened. 1 minute ago, K-9 said: To be fair to ELway, Chubb was rated much higher than Allen as a player and the thought of him paired with Miller made a ton of sense at the time.

But the old adage that unless you have a franchise QB, all other needs are secondary would seem to apply here. Clearly, they didn't think Allen could be a franchise guy, and they obviously weren't alone. Oh well. The Bills were the beneficiary of that wrongheaded decision. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way that Teddy B and the 6th round pick they gave up takes them out of the QB market if someone falls to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only think he was scarred by the Brocketship and Paxton Lynch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Right, cause why leverage a top 10 draft pick to move up and get a real shot at a star QB for your amazing roster when you can get Teddy Bridgewater. ***** you elway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief at least have the trade ready to go and wait to see what happens on draft night. If they end up drafting a QB they just threw away $3M and a 6th rounder!

When you have Case Keenum, you gotta draft a DE, so you can Trade Keenum for Joe Flacco and Drew Lock and then get destroyed on National TV by the QB you passed on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
