Broncos acquire QB Teddy Bridgewater for 6th round pick


Logic

Recommended Posts

What’s Teddy’s contract like? I feel it’s expensive for a backup?

 

We got a stake in Mitch Trubiski.  Guess he really did want to be near home, his family lives about 2 hours from Buffalo.

I'm telling you, it's Micah Parsons @ #9 for Denver. 

 

What if he is gone at #7 to the knee biters? I agree if Parsons makes it that far he is Denver's pick but I hear that Detroit really likes him and is worried about the lack of depth to the linebacker class.

Somewhere, sometime, Denver fans are going to hear John Elway say, "We have to QBs capable of starting."  Somewhere someone is reported as saying, "If yout have 2 starting QBs, you don't have any.

 

Of course the main effect for the Bills is that it removes one of the mail obstacles to New England trading up to pick a QB.

And he could possibly. It wouldn't surprise me at all. I just think the need to get one of the top tier WR's will outweigh their thought of taking a LB. Their top 3 WR's right now are Tyrell (Mr. Glass) Williams, Breshad Perriman, and Quintez Cephus. That's a :sick: group if I've ever seen one.

I don't understand Denver not targeting a QB. Bridgewater isn't good, and it's pretty clear that Lock isn't very good either.

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.


I don’t think it takes them out of the QB market at all.  They could just be acquiring Bridgewater to be a, well, bridge QB.

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!!!

I'm the one who's always saying here that none of us knows what we're talking about.   I've got to start making an exception for you.   That's really cool, that you called that.  However, you made one mistake.  You needed to publish Monday.   A trade like that happens in the week before the draft, not on the night of the draft.   So waiting to publish that prediction meant that you missed out on glory.

It is, for sure, their biggest need.

I agree except there are only so many reps available in TC. I think teddy is more of a backup though but if they took fields at 9, to me that shows they are done with Locke.

I think they should draft a QB, even if it means moving up. This is a good class. But I haven't believed they were going to at any stage.

Damn, a 6th and replaced by Darnold.  What happened to this kid? 

He is afraid to throw the ball more then 10 yards downfield is what happened.  At least Lock is not afraid to let it rip.  

 

If Drew Lock can't beat out Teddy Bridgewater this year to start for the Broncos, that's on Drew Lock.  I think his ceiling is much higher then Bridgewater's.  But I don't coach in the NFL.  So my vote doesn't count.

Haha it did. I was away seeing family last weekend so I am behind on my final batch of draft stuff which would normally have come last weekend.
