The Seahawks will receive two first-round picks, two second-round selections, QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant and DL Shelby Harris.

That is a king's ransom

 

I didn't realize they gave up Fant...that's actually a big weapon that I figured they wanted a QB like Wilson or Rogers to take advantage off.

 

Very interesting that he was included in the deal.

In Sports…a scared fan base will talk themselves into believing lots of stuff.

 

oh the days when the patriots woudl be missing 2 offensive linemen and so many mafia members thought that was the key to beating New England.

 

Just being a rabid fan I guess.  Talking yourself into victory.

They probably wanted a young good player and he's an obvious choice because he's in line for an extension. Jeudy is too hurt, Sutton is too old

Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick, Javonte Wiliams....they'll be good on offense. They have a good defense too

 

Von Miller also pretty said he plans on resigning there so essentially the picks the Rams gave the Broncos for a half season + playoff rental were used in the deal to get Wilson.

I don't get this move at all.  This is a QB1 driven league.  If you got one, you keep him.  You build around him.. If you don't you can be wandering the desert for years.  This is nuts..  Just ask Cleveland, Buffalo, NYJ, Miami, etc.....

Injury aside last year, his numbers were still up there in terms of being among the top 10 QB's in the league.

 

And even if he has an 'average' type of year the Broncos have a roster capable of going places and everyone knows it was the QB position that was the difference last year between being a 12+ win team and what they actually finished (7-10).

 

Broncos will definitely be the sexy SB pick next year in the AFC.

Oh I’m not saying he’s terrible by any means. Just not the same as he once was and I watch every Seahawks game rooting for them to lose.  Agreed though, Denver could be very tough with an average Russel the love Mussel.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it helps the Bills, other than maybe making it a bit harder for KC to get home-field advantage...

 

It makes the #1 seed more attainable. I still think that is by far our best path to the dance. Two games. Both in Buffalo. I think personally that would matter more than the opponent.

Am I the only person who thinks Wilson's on the decline and I am not very worried about him?  We handled him pretty easily last time we played.  Not quite as steep a decline as Cam but he's not as elite as he was.

I agree to an extent. I’m sure they’re hoping for the same scenario they had with Peyton Manning. I’m also not sure how good their offensive line is.

Yikes. Wilson's trajectory is only heading down. He's not going to be elite going forward. Having lost his speed and escapability and still being short, he's not great anymore.

There’s always that possibility…and some evidence to support it…But I bet Denver fans aren’t thinking about that right now…

really dunno how this will work out for the Broncos,  from what i gather most Broncos fans think theyre again just a QB away from being relevant.      now they have that QB.   if this allows Denver to beat the chiefs once or twice every year for the next few,  and helps us get home field easier,  im all for it.    Go Denver!!!

Better than everyone else they've had since manning.  and everyone else they had before that since elway.

I'm not sure the 'evidence' is conclusive. He had a down year last season of..

 

2021 stats: 14 games | 64.8 pct | 3,113 pass yds | 7.8 ypa | 25 pass TD | 6 INT | 183 rush yds | 2 rush TD | 6 fumbles

 

..while being injured. The Broncos have a much better line and running game as well. They were 6th is rushing compared to Seattle's 28th. 

 

There's about 20 other teams out there (including the Broncos) who wish their QBs had a 'down' year like that.

Here's the real reason why Denver went out and made this deal. Competitive football notwithstanding. 

 

 


 

Yep - said that earlier in the thread.  This is a splash move to appease new owners and the fan base.  
 

The player makes them better, but it has far more implications to the team than just wins on the field.

They had a pretty solid defense, and a fairly bad offense.  My big concern is you fired a really good defensive coach in vic fangio, and replaced him with an unknown.  

 

I personally expect a drop off on that side of the ball... and honestly i wouldn't be surprised if the offensive jump isn't that great even with wilson.

I’m ok for Metcalf being the big splash. If Beane doesn’t try here, it’s criminal.

No, they were waiting for Beane to get off his hands.


Beane needs to get this team better. Bringing in Metcalf helps a lot. Then draft a speedy slot WR and we are all set.
