Nick Kendell and Scott Kennedy discuss the #DenverBroncos inactivity at the quarterback position. Are the Broncos really going to roll with Jarrett Stidham at the signal caller spot? What other options are still out there for Denver to explore? What would a Stidham and rookie quarterback room look like? The guys also run another mock for Mock Draft Monday.

All right let’s get our other groups in here so we can start the show all right welcome in welcome in it is Monday morning the 18th and it’s time for an episode of Broncos 4 breakfast I am Nick Kendall and joined by on these morning shows he takes a big glug of
Coffee Scott Kennedy Scott how you doing down there in pollen Central Atlanta Georgia good the uh the buds are coming out and they’re going to freeze their buds off because we’ve got 20s coming tonight so nice uh you know it’s it’s that March is the schizophrenic weather
Period in the Southeast you can have 85 degree weather or we’ve had some of our growing up down in the South some of our best snows have been in March where we get that last winter blast well I speaking of bugs I know it’s a it’s a double brood year this
Year for the cicas the uh the happens once every like 200 years or something where they line up perfectly so uh have you seen the cicada wasps I have not oh I think I have seen them they’re like they look like hornets and they’re like this big and they they
Burrow in and go get the cicas they’re pretty scary yeah I like the cicas my wife is not a big fan but I always thought they were really cool what I do not like being from the Midwest which sends shivers down my my spine Scott is
The mayflies I grew up next to the Mississippi River and the mayflies would be so pre prent for like 3 days that they would show up on radar and people would have danger flying over the bridge because you there’d be so much of them on the bridge that you’d turn on your
Anti-lock brakes and You’ like kind of skid um so it’s uh if you ever want to be grossed out by bugs look up like mayfly swarm Mississippi River or something and you will be just disgusted I mean just hordes and hordes of them especially like at where I grew up in
The Quad Cities that’s where the minor league baseball stadium is right on the Mississippi River and those big flood lights when those thing hatch it is an apocalyptic looking event really really gross so sorry to gross everyone out on this Monday yeah we’re uh we’re off the
Rails early this morning so welcome in everybody it’s Monday hope everybody had a great weekend and this is your bug talk yeah absolutely bug talk talk let’s talk it’s bug talk Monday uh David yunin coming in saying morning Scott and Nick if we roll with stum will it be for
Eight weeks or the whole season I say eight weeks and let whoever Sean picks does the rookie beat him out for the starting position I don’t think there’s any set number of weeks it would be I think if you bring in a rookie quarterback they are going to compete
With stum or quarterback X there’s still other options out there and uh then if that rookie beats him out in training camp awesome God bless we’re rolling with a rookie if the rookie comes in and is Paxton Lynch you’re probably rolling with STM the the whole season so I don’t
Think there’s any set week you go with the options and you hope for the best and let the best guys play in the end and if let’s say stm’s Obviously better but the season is lost and you just kind of kind of get some Reps for that guy
Out there let’s say it’s Rattler and like Rattler is really struggling with the Playbook just an example not to say Rattler’s going to struggle with anything uh then uh you maybe go like the last four to six weeks because the season’s already lost and you’re just
Kind of in the we need to see what we have here if he can rate rate uh rise up to the occasion but out of the gate open competition yeah I don’t know David I don’t have a a a set time on this I will
Tell you for this team in 2024 you play let’s say you get a rookie and you’re looking that way you play that rookie as soon as you think you can without him hindering his development so you know sometimes you get in there too early Head Start swimming you start seeing you
Hear ghosts behind you you’re seeing shadows and you can actually hinder the development you’re not necessarily worried about the team oh this guy might be the better option we might be able to win one more game with this player than this player no no no we’re not worried
About that right now we’re worried about how soon can I get my Young quarterback in the game where he can start improving as soon as that is feasible that’s when your rookie will play yeah I think that’s true to an extent Scott I I also think that you’re still they’re gonna go
Into next season hoping to make the playoffs and trying to and you can’t go out there and sell the obviously lesser quarterback uh if you are early in the season and still in a mindset of competitiveness now big picture the idea is here that he’s not a complete bust
Yeah I the idea is that the rookie you draft is a competent quarterback already and wouldn’t be that much different from a career backup to be in Jarrett STM yeah I I think I disagree just slightly because of how the locker room my perspective of how the locker room works
And these guys are a lot of these guys you know only one year left they need to put out the best hate possible and they want to compete so until your son has kind of and it’s obvious you’re not going to the playoffs it’s harder to play the Lesser quarterback because
Those guys know it’s obvious that it’s lesser then that’s that’s different but yes you’ve also shipped out a lot of the guys and a lot of the guys that are on oneyear deals you don’t care what they think anyway that’s that’s true and Sean Sean Payton’s team he gets to make the
Call in the end but there is I think some human Dynamic of the locker room that it’s not just okay well STM is not the answer long term so play the seventh round rookie we took no no no no talking day two I’m talking the extreme though
Of that how that no I’m talking day two at worse not a guy that you think has a chance to become to become your long-term starter if if you taking him first second third round I’m not talking about you take a flyer on a guy that you’re not ever
Planning on being because he’s fallen so far on the draft I’m talking about if you get your rookie not a rookie but your rookie yeah quarterback not just anybody here yeah that was just the extreme example just to set up kind of the perspective uh Mr Rous coming in 499
Says morning Broncos for breakfast prediction is trading back to acquire a second or multiple seconds and taking Rattler with the late two have Rattler La learn and plug in later very possible I know the Broncos had contingents down there in South Carolina I know they had multiple people down South Carolina this
Season uh to check out Rattler and the quarterback there they’re putting in the work on all the quarterbacks and it does seem right now probably the top four are going to be out of reach for them so we’re in a Rattler Nicks penck discussion uh we’ll see how that plays
Out I mean maybe they make a trade up it does seem like the Vikings and the Giants are much more aggressive right now and in better position uh to make a move for a quarterback and that’s who knows what happens with the top three picks so uh might be hard for Denver to
Get one of the first four quarterbacks off the board but do they like the other guys enough we’ll see trading back is certainly on the table uh also trading back and getting a day two quarterback to me unless they come out and maybe this is an impossible barcott but heck I
Don’t really care I’m a tough tough grader if that let’s say you take a rattler here and he plays the final six weeks of the Season or let’s say it’s penx this time final six weeks of the season but you took him at pick I don’t know 55 unless he’s out there looking
Like CJ strad I am back in the quarterback Market again next season because you do not know enough and if you do not know you’re looking uh so that’s something that’s like the in hindsight you had that maybe this is me being overly reactionary to the false
Positive of Drew lock uh down the stretch in that uh 2019 season where he went four- one well you look at a lot of the the defenses they were playing the advanced numbers it was obviously a pretty much a false positive there I mean it was you could win maybe seven
Games with him playing that style but lined up that time um maybe maybe more with the defense but I think unless they come out and look like CJ Stout out of the gate you’re hunting again uh so they’d have to be emphatically obviously the guy you don’t punt on a class
Because of a day two quarterback showed okay and that’s one of the good things if if you don’t see that big of a difference if you’re reaching for a quarterback at 12 and you don’t think he’s you know well a 12 overall pick but more like 30 and you take instead you
Take a quarterback at 36 because you have to trade up trade down whatever you end up getting a guy in the second round a guy you take in the second round isn’t going you’re not you’re not committed to him you’re not if you take
A guy at 12 he’s GNA get at least a year he’s gonna get he’s gonna get his rookie year he’ll get the next year before you’re in the quarterback Market again so you’re basically making a two-year commitment to that quarterback good or bad now there’s been exceptions to that
Naturally you know Josh Rosen is a big one that’s one of the first times I remember a team punting on a guy that quickly was uh you know they ended up with the number one overall and went with Kyler Murray the next year and traded away Josh Rosen after one season
But you get a guy in the second round you’re not you’re not committed to him period he’s gonna have to earn it whereas there’s some entire titl that goes along with a top 15 quarterback pick yeah and just you know you can’t burn that pick totally uh immediately
Unless you have a really odd circumstance it just doesn’t happen and the exception to that one take you know the the rule is Zack Wilson the rule is Zach Wilson New York Jets they went two years with him and they were like God we can’t do this anymore the exception is
Trey Lance that doesn’t happen very often you got to have I mean Shawn Payton’s got quos but to be able to spend three first rounders on a guy and then bench him my God you better be winning yeah Jeremy coming in says morning boys seem like Broncos country
Is W not up to Nicks at 12 except Nick it just seems like pton feels very comfortable with the possibility of getting his guy seems like JJ will be in Minnesota I would say not so fast on the JJ to Minnesota talk it really I mean they’re they brought in Josh maccau to
Be the quarterback coach I believe uh Kevin oconnell is there too there’s been some Drake May uh flirtation there with the Vikings as well they might actually have may higher than McCarthy so I would not complet I mean we’re the we’re playing chicken right now right Scott it
So who do they like what are they going to go up for do they have a deal in place they might have a deal in place with three or four depending on what quarterbacks there’re blah blah blah blah blah uh so I think that it might be
May um there at uh for Minnesota as well but I think all of McCarthy May Daniels and Williams of course are going to be gone before uh pick seven they’re all going to go four I think four of those guys are going to go in the top
Six yeah it wouldn’t surprise me a bit and and part of it Jeremy I think one it’s it’s a good fit bonck is a good fit in this offense there’s no doubt about that the other part of it is we don’t have a shot at the top four you know
You’re warming up to the guy who is the last one standing to a certain extent and that’s just natural you know fans are going to talk themselves into things and and and get up get behind the guy okay so be it but it is a good fit uh
With the offense the top 50 prospects from Jordan Reed talks about B Knicks today he’s got bonix coming in at 43 on his top 50 you know he talks about a lot of the things we do too which is at Auburn he looked like a nobody and at
Oregon he looked really good uh he’s also tell me this doesn’t sound like a fit for a Shan Payton offense Nick is a quick decision maker and wastes little time getting the ball out he’s also an accurate passer who operated timing based Ducks system finishing last season with 77.4 completion percent which was
Number one and with 45 touchdown passes to three ints he is an efficient thrower who doesn’t make many mistakes what is Shawn Payton looking for check check check check check he checks all those boxes right there the questions I have is you know and I know well he was the
The best guy Under Pressure I’ve seen him under real pressure and it’s not pretty so you know how is he against much better defenses I’ve seen him against much better defenses and it’s been kind of poor so again number 12 is too high for me but again it’s such an
Important position I can see and I’ve said now Eric trickle says I’m hearing there’s just no way they take bonck at 12 wouldn’t surprise me a bit yeah I’m open to Nicks uh yeah I’m open to Nicks at 12 uh if the Broncos are sold on him
The issue for me is that I think that trying to take away a lot of what he did at Oregon and translate to the NFL game as far as Windows and processing I think is really hard to do a lot of it first
Read stuff a lot of it RPO a lot of wide open guys against quite frankly pretty damn poor defenses in the Pack 12 uh this didn’t play UCLA unfortunately he played three games against defenses I’d consider four let’s let’s go four I think Oregon State’s defense was pretty
Good Washington twice and uh Utah although Utah was a little step back this season on the defensive side of the ball so those were fine defenses and those were some of the worst games he had this season um I actually I did not watch Oregon state yet I need to get it
Uh get a chance to go watch the the Civil War but uh I think that Nicks has a good frame he is a solid athlete I don’t think he’s a special athlete by any mean and when I think abouty Dam good athlete because when he wasn’t throwing the ball at Auburn very well
They ran everything with him they ran read option constantly to try and get him in the game he’s a pretty good athlete but I don’t think he’s the caliber of athlete that is a special Difference Maker at the NFL level like what is the line Scott of quarterback at
The NFL where it’s like that guy is such a good athlete that you feel him on there I mean Derek Carr has some of the best one of the better testers at the combine a while ago he can use that sometimes but it’s not like a athletic
Presence I think yeah I mean best case for the athletic profile for a bon knck is like a Daniel Jones who where I was going Jones which is good yeah he doesn’t have the brute strength of of Jared Allen he doesn’t have the suddenness of Lamar Jackson obviously
Kyler Murray you know like like where the Kyler Murray yeah his his quickness is is next level but you know Daniel Jones I think he ran for about 500 yards he did a lot of RPO stuff um he was good and I think that’s that’s the caliber you’re talking I think best case
Probably the Daniel Jones athleticism package which is good enough my biggest issue with Nicks is the arm I’m going to have to disagree with Jeremy I’m sure he’s already in the comments saying that I’m wrong on this I don’t think the arm will uh to drive the football was very
Good I tried to go in kind of like I was a bigger Mayfield doubter in that 2018 draft class it’s like I want to see what he looks like at the combine at the Senior Bowl what does he look like when the variables are more even against uh you know competition back-to-back reps
How does that arm look in that scenario went into the senior bull open-minded came out Baker Mayfield’s got an NFL arm no doubt I don’t care about you know the Lincoln Riley offense Oklahoma wide open Big 12 no quarterbacks won a playoff game out of that uh conference ever I
Think the Big 12 at that point um so here let me let me hit this real quick Nick apologies I’ve had this up forever Facebook user says what’s wrong with Facebook that we can’t send stars that we have bought there’s three Facebook groups make sure you’re on youtube.com
High huddle that’s the main one you shouldn’t have problems there you’re probably coming in on the mile high huddle Denver Broncos super fans page which is a closed group and that one might not be eligible Stars so come into uh SL Mile High huddle but yeah know I think I went into
The those post season events just to kind of get a better idea of what the Baseline Talent of the arm is because when you’re only watching that one quarterback it’s sometimes hard to evaluate them against their peers and uh Bon’s arm left me wanting now some of
That might have been Jeremy on Twitter said that he was working more on accuracy than driving the football which surprises me some because the questions with Nicks aren’t accuracy they’re driving the football so why would he not try you know let it rip at the Senior
Bowl we still get the pro day coming up so uh oh no the Pro Day already happened I didn’t hear a lot of Buzz coming out of that either as far as driving the football uh so I just don’t know if he’s the overall athletic package that’s a no
Doubt first-rounder but that said there’s enough arm Talent there’s enough frame there’s definitely enough athleticism that if the intangibles which from where I sit Scott is pure hearsay the intelligence the ability to make the right reads the film room the Whiteboard stuff the personality fit with Shawn Payton which I think is
Something that there’s that human factor that we don’t talk about but it really is g to matter you’re gonna have to have a certain type of personality to be able to work with Shawn pyton especially with the Millennials coming in compared to the old school ball coach Bo’s a son of
A coach and a college quarterback you know I was professional I was in school with Pat with Pat Nicks who was the ultimate in game managing quarterbacks he didn’t have much of an arm he led the team to what was he 10 and one in 1994
So he was uh he was solid so he’s you’re not going to have any problems there yep Miguel coming in on on YouTube with with some Stars good morning Miguel says good morning fellas right back at you hope all is well March Madness is here which
Means that that much closer to the draft that’s kind of how I feel about it too it’s a good time to be a sports fan I was thinking about this today because I didn’t realize you know my alma moer Auburn won the SEC tournament until I
Saw my friend posted on Twitter I was like oh yeah okay great and I’m like wait a minute didn’t they used to do those in February so how long does the damn tournament go these days I think the final is April 8th everything gets pushed back got to be careful you’re not
Gonna be able to call it March Madness for very much longer unless they condense the schedule a little bit more so yeah enjoy this is uh the time where men’s college basketball becomes relevant to all but a handful of fans of their own teams so uh enjoy yeah but uh
Where I mad at Nicks overall Scott I am fine with him at 12 or in whatever round it’s just I don’t know what I don’t know and I think the Oregon offense specifically is pretty hard to translate the the reads and the processing and the pocket feel um from the college game to
The NFL game so therefore if it’s just based on the tangibles which I can see which I can evaluate it’s on tape I don’t think it’s a first- round player but the intangibles there’s enough there with the tangibles that if the intangibles are all A’s no doubt I’m I’m
Okay with that at 12 um it’s not like for me Mac Jones I was a not Mac Jones first round guy no matter what because the arm was so poor the athleticism was so poor one season of tape and on the super team with Alabama out there with
The wide receivers I was not an a MC Jones guy at all but Nicks is a little different he’s got better athleticism a better frame uh slightly better arm and more seasons of tape where I feel more comfortable with the evaluation so it’s going to come down to those tan
Intangibles but that’s an unknown for me so I tend I will always tend to lean to what I see and what I know which will be the athleticism size accuracy and overall arm Talent uh on tape and hashtag Lobo still talking quarterbacks here Troy Boer good to see you this
Morning coming in with a super says Hey guys could Joe Milton of Tennessee become accurate Enough by sitting him for a year or two hear more about Nicks pennx and Rattler if we can’t get a starter now trade back and get a starter later if you come out of this
Quarterback class with Joe Milton you’re drafting a quarterback again next next year so that would you know unless something really strange happens and he you know makes this huge step could he develop more accuracy yes he could he’s inaccurate enough that I don’t want him on day one or day two so
We’re talking day three and if I’m taking a quarterback day three it means I’m taking a quarterback I’m still looking I’m still in the quarterback Market The Following season so yes you could take a swing that’s why I said you gota you got to take a late round pick
On a swing if you end up with no quarterback just to to maybe to have a chance even if it’s up there with their eyes closed against a Nolan Ryan fastball trying to hit it by sound you have to at least take a swing with a
Late round pick and then you’re going to take another one the next season so it is possible just not probable Troy yeah I don’t think that Milton’s gonna be older um he’s not the athlete I know the Anthony Richardson comment was thrown out there but he’s not nearly the
Athlete Richardson was the arm is similar uh but uh if you took Milton you know what is it one of your first picks in the fourth round there that’s a lottery ticket that’s a scratcher and if he hits that’s fantastic but he doesn’t preclude you from going heck you could
Honestly Scott crazy it sounds you could take say you trade back and take Nicks at 32 and then you take Milton top of the fourth round double dip sure I mean that’s kind of the conversation there with a fourth round day three quarterback pick in some doesn’t happen
Very often does it I can’t imagine it’s happened too often but people sign one quarterback and draft another all the time yeah I can think of the classic example is the RG3 Kurt Cousins draft class with the uh Washington former name redacted uh Team there where they took
Both those quarterbacks one was because RG3 was a ownership pick and Kurt Cousins was a coaching staff pick there was a little bit of disagreement there uh with that when we saw how that played out Mike Shanahan right evaluation at the end Washington’s been a disaster
Since Joe Gibbs the first time yeah yes yes yes but thank you so much for the 1990 as far as trading back I think we are looking at those three quarterbacks right now if Broncos do miss out on the top four we’ll see how it plays out I
Mean seems like the NFL is way higher on McCarthy than the media um I saw Lance zerline mention that it’s the largest discrepancy he’s ever seen from a quarterback how what the NFL teams are saying about him compared to the media so I think there’s a reality out there
Scott where Washington goes McCarthy at two or the Patriots go McCarthy at three just based on the people who are really in the know how they’re talking about him and may seems to be slipping a bit so maybe it’s one Williams two Daniels three McCarthy four may I mean we’ll see
I think we get sounds like a nurer rhyme we got to be open to it um we got Doug coming in here with over on Facebook looks like he’s given a lecture or something in the picture there thank you so much for the support Doug happy Monday to
You and then to to roll into that comment that you were making about the quarterbacks coach Chris comes in he says the draft rumors are heating up could quarterbacks go one two 3 four with Arizona Trading with the Vikings this would bode well for the Denver
Broncos could we get the tight end from Georgia that’s Brock Bowers an edge rusher from UCLA that’s latu latu things could work out well plus 100 million in caps phace for 2025 yeah the Broncos did uh restructure some contracts where they’re going to be a little bit more on the hook uh void
Years dead cap for the guys they signed last season the big guys they signed last season and Allen powers and I keep on to calling them grubs uh Scott uh powers and mlinci but you had so few dead cap and contracts in those future years that it’s not really going to hurt
You too much especially if the cap keeps going up even if it doesn’t move at the same explode at the same rate so I’m not too worried about that as far as the guys you list here I’m gonna be honest Scott I really like Brock Bowers but he
Feels a little bit ornamental cherry on top for me for where this Broncos team is at right now like tight ends are not really a good position historically to take first round they’re probably one of the lowest hit rate positions of any of the first round spots I mean out of the
Last heck five 10 years how many first round tight ends have lived up up to expectation maybe Evan Ingram because he was taken super late maybe in joku because he was taken like at 29 and then hackinson was there at eight was he a top eight player I I just feel like
Every single time you take a tight end of the first round you look at the next 10 picks and there’s like five of them that would have been better selection sorry Scott um but uh I sorry to me I told you I didn’t want Kyle Pitts at
Four I’ve been talking about that for three years I know but it’s kind kind of a pouring salt in the wound there um on that one who do I root for I root for me yeah yeah I mean I’m not rooting against anybody else but I I didn’t I get mad if
I’d said oh Kyle pittz was the was the Surefire pick this is a Hall of Fame tight end yeah then you can say sorry Scott I know you screwed that up but no no no so far I’m right on this one and as far far as Bowers goes I just I
Needed the I needed the validated data from him because there was talk that at Georgia he played at 230 to 235 which would put him at like the second percentile for tight end weights at the combine and he came to the combine and weighed I believe it was 243 but then he
Didn’t test and that to me is a concern so I’m like okay well maybe he’ll weigh and then test at the pro day probably not because we know how the games work and he didn’t even test at the pro day because of a hamstring injury so it’s
Like the tight end position a lot of schemed up touches kind of an outlier in the body type uh I would have needed him like test like a special athlete at uh 230 235 we didn’t even get to see that at pro day so I’m a I’m not as in on
Brock Bowers at 12 uh just where the Broncos are at right now but if they love him sure by all means it’s just I think it’s it’s probably additional risk for a team that probably needs to hit a double there in the first round if they can especially on the line of scrimmages
Edge rusher from UCLA I think latu is good I don’t think he’s 12 overall good uh and I think I I definitely would have verse and Dallas Turner over him if we’re talking U Ed r or heck I even like the top two cornerbacks over latu and I
Want Ed more but at the end of the day you’re taking players not just generic guys at positions uh but that’s my thought sorry Chris to kind of poop on both the guys there no could they go one two three four that’d be odd I still think Marvin Harrison Jr sneaks in there
Into the top four you better hope because otherwise he’s going to the Chargers and that would be I know that everybody wants a Harbaugh to go offensive line there that seems to be more of hiso maybe they’ll go edge rusher or I guess they brought Bosa back
Maybe they’ll go defense I don’t know probably offensive line but if Marvin Harrison Jr’s there yeah I don’t he’s he’s not going he’s not dropping out of the top five um but Chris I think you’ve got a chance to have two of The Three Edge rushers available you might have
Your choice between verse Turner Le outu latu there so possibly and then Brock Bowers could end up being the best player in this draft again he’s I think of him not as a tight end I think of him of him as a number one receiving option I mean he plays he’s
He’s a little bit heavier it’s been a while Scott that was 20 years ago of I mean the perfect comp for him is Shannon sharp is the is the player you had you saw how good Shannon sharp was similar size similar skill set came from the
Same area uh Brock B’s from California I think though he came in from from out west or Utah maybe California for some reason I thought he was a California kid but I know he wasn’t a Georgia Boy no um he just came to Georgia so so yes lots
Of lots of good ideas here Darren Nelson and and there will be a player at 12 you know I think Nicks will be available and then there’s good prospects available at 12 so we’ll see on those Darren says if the Vikings are making a plan for a run
At Three then does JJ McCarthy come into play for us Darren my answer to this one is not at 12 and the the the the trade pending trade that Minnesota is looking at it doesn’t affect the Broncos at all as far as I’m concerned because they
Were already at 11 now if the Raiders had made this move and they’re sitting at 13 and 23 right now now you go ah crap there’s another team that can jump ahead of us for a quarterback so I think the best you could hope for the best you
Could hope for to get one of the top four quarterbacks is a trade up with the Atlanta Falcons at eight and I don’t think that’s for sure I I I don’t think that’s a sure way to go and Nick we talk about May sliding I still haven’t seen a
Mock draft or a quarterback you know a ranking where anybody’s had the balls to put Drake May Beyond three you know May’s May’s not sliding yet talk to me on Thursday April 27th or whatever the day is and if it’s nine o’clock and may still on the board then we’ll talk about
Him sliding otherwise it’s the smear campaign moved from Caleb Williams to Drake May a crap it didn’t work on Caleb Williams he’s he’s going number one overall that’s pretty much said done let’s move to the next guy and now it’s on Caleb it’s now it’s on Drake May kind
Of avoided Jaden Daniels completely and I think there’s a lot of questions with Jaden so I I don’t know what do I know um as far as the Vikings making a run does it make JJ Moren play I’ll disagree a little Scott just because the Broncos
Were in competition to trade up I don’t think either the quarterbacks are making it to have they couldn’t get ahead of Minnesota if Minnesota didn’t want them to get ahead of them they just if there was a bidding war with the Vikings you weren’t beating them yes and now that’s
More emphatically true uh so that makes it tough I think if any of those top four quarterbacks makes it to seven we we have a chance to talk uh but I don’t see that happening uh right now so who knows uh the Broncos there’s been I don’t know if you’ve been following
There’s been that really random Twitter account um Pretty Ricky I think is what it was and they were getting things right left and left and right I think they might have gone dark have been inactivated I don’t know what happened there I don’t know found out who it was
And they shut him down yeah something happened but he was pretty emphatic that Shawn pton and the Broncos loved JJ McCarthy like absolutely loved him but was going to be hard to get up and the the big issue is that Minnesota can out be outbeat you and then are the Chargers
Gonna trade you to send McCarthy to Harbaugh gonna send McCarthy to Denver in in division I don’t know and then you have the Giants there at six if he did would you trust it wait a minute yeah yeah that too y wait wait a minute why is Harbaugh sending us his
Quarterback there was a there was an old saying back in the back in the day I think it was Lou penella and I think he was with the the Mariners at the time he said I talk a lot of baseball apologies he said if the Atlanta Braves call you
Talking pitchers hang up the phone because they’re either going to steal one of yours or they’re going to dump one that can’t play on you hang up the phone at the Atlanta Braves why is Harbaugh sending us Mar his quarterback I don’t trust that yeah so
That’s one to uh keep an eye on but I I think it’s pretty hard the Giants right now very aggressively looking at quarterback too it sounds like so we will see what happens there with the Broncos we got Troy coming back in he says does Byron Murphy thei uh have
Enough value now at defensive line Market is exploding that he makes much sense as offensive tackle at 12 I really like Murphy you know I was banging that Murphy is an option at 12 drum there for a bit Scott he was really good in some of the drills out there at the combine
The wave drill for me I think that he’s probably somebody that ceiling should be maybe I would feel a little bit more comfortable like four picks further back because every time I run simulations I find somebody on the board that I like a little bit better at 12 than Byron
Murphy uh for me I wish he was a little bit bigger or a little bit more athletic he’s just kind of right he’s a first-rounder no doubt top 20 pick but I feel like some of the athletic testing or the SI I wanted an ed Oliver type to take
Somebody that size uh that early and I think he’s just slightly lesser in terms of the explosiveness the overall athlete so and you had guys like uh Murph not Murphy uh you had verse and Turner test excellently at the combine as well as some of the offensive tackles so I am
Not as no doubt on Murphy there at 12 if they took him at 12 I’d be excited to get the best offensive tackle in the class and somebody who can play one technique to three technique to four I a position the Broncos really don’t have a
Positive player on uh right now in my opinion as far as a pass rush profile but at 12 I think there’s probably there’s going to be offensive lineman and Edge rushers I’m pretty sure I will like more on the board Troy thanks for coming in with your second Super Chat so
Y’all hear me all the time talk about listing you know a numerical listing so well this is the 10th guy and this is the 11th guy but there could be a huge gap in there I’ve always liked line graphs you can see two through 12 are
Fairly flat and then there’s a big dip down to here and I was like and Troy’s comment here made me think of it with uh with the DL Market exploding I’m like okay what are we talking about now I’m like okay so you know the top of the
Market Kenny Clark actually has the biggest cap hit at$ 27 A5 million for Green Bay Aaron Donald is out of there now at 24 and you start going down Aaron Donald was number two at 24 Grady Jarrett was number number 10 at 20 so basically 20 to 25 million in the top 10
Number 11 on the DL Market is DJ Jones at 13 two to1 is a flat line and then it goes Kaboom and falls off a cliff where 11 is making about half again as much as number 10 so the top 10 guys are getting paid the market for DL and again if he’s
A top 10 guy Troy that’s a $20 million player the market is still8 to2 for for the the the defensive line Market but if he’s a top 10 guy the Market’s $20 million yeah I think he’s very useful again I wanted to see him be a little
Bit bigger or a little bit more athletic uh to be more comfortable with him at 12 because again I keep I just run the simulations Scott and there are guys that I like more uh there at 12 than Murphy now if they trade back to 16 to
20 range sign me up um I think that and that seems like small right it’s such a difference there but as uh Payton mentioned in the press conference uh before the combine he says there are 12 to 14 guys right now that we really like in the first round uh like first round
Grades I think they’re talking about there also you were mentioning there the your vertical uh your ordinal list there Scott team’s talking about all the time but it’s the vertical draft board versus the horizontal draft board so you have them listed 1 two 3 4 five but one could
Be there by himself and then two through six could be listed next to each other seven through 10 and that that’s your vertical to your horizontal so really you want to look at those tiers and see what groupings there and if you’re talking you know two guys on the same
Horizontal draft board it could be something as simple as we need this position more this coach is really uh wanting this guy or how the the roster set up currently we don’t have any young ascending rookie contract Edge rushers we need to go with the Edge versus the
Defensive tackle because we have Zack Allen here you know that that kind of conversation comes into play too rattlesnake Master 1999 says sorry if I already talked about this because I’m late but I think Cody Barton signing a sneaky good I remember Nick saying we
Should look at him after he kill us in the Seahawks game man you are definitely drawing that one back rattlesnake Master much love from Nebraska yeah I uh I did mention that I was really impressed with Cody Barton in space and in coverage uh when he played for the Seahawks uh two
Seasons ago and he was a coming out of Utah pretty solid player Cody Barton’s a very good instinctual cover player I think he’s got some man coverage chops for the linebacker spot had a cavey out there and good feel for Zone my issue with him Scott is that he is you know
Melted butter soft sometimes against the Run uh coming downhill uh against offensive lineman or sometimes you know tackling scoring up and taking on running backs he can have some issues there and I have some issues with that with the Broncos current Personnel up front they do not really have defensive
Lineman who are glass eaters and can dictate and free up Cody Barton so so to speak we’ll see what happens with roach you know the he really good run Defender but 63 290 doesn’t really bat itself well till to a double Gap uh block eating kind of guy so Barton’s gonna be
Very good especially on uh subpackage Downs where he gonna be a coverage space player early Downs though I have some questions with him so we we’ll see how it plays out but he’s he’s fun also the other thing about linebacker Scott I’m really loving the strategy I don’t know
If I mean you kind of want to draft and develop those guys but linebacker is so heady neck up these days with how much space they’re playing in with the constant like RPO uh Zone read kind of stuff going on there with that position that I’d almost rather just continuously
Take second or third contract guys versus drafting guys because they’re not even going to be really super valuable playable for the most part until year four year five out of college anyway uh just with where the game’s at so it’s the opposite of it’s the opposite of the wide receiver conversations we’ve been
Having I’m starting to really hate the idea of second contract wide receivers Yep they’re they’re so expensive and they come ready to play these days same with quarterbacks meanwhile I can do I want to use a day three pick I can almost go cheaper theend the back end of
A third round contract is about four five6 million I can hell I can get a really good veteran linebacker for that kind of money so it sounds to me the way you just described him and rattlesnake Master thank you very much the way you just Subs uh described him is he’s a
He’s a Chase backer you know I’m GNA send I’m gonna send Alex Singleton because we know he doesn’t mind banging his head into a wall I’m GNA send him into the line of scrimmage and then Cody cleans things up sideline to sideline lateral movement in coverage so could be
A could be a good partnership there I think Josie and and Alex were a little too similar in that regards neither one of them really had the the side to side speed but if you can get your lateral moving on here because Cody Barton’s athletic testing numbers uh for his his
Shuttle and his El cone are pretty darn good yeah he’s got some some Chase ability in there and and Mike agree with me talking about if if you know if Jim Harbaugh is giving the green light to send JJ McCarthy to the Denver Broncos that’s a little worrisome that’s a little worrisome but
He had another question in here a comment appreciate the super chats Mike he says good morning Nick and Scott good morning to you says live in Minnesota lots of Drake may talk lots of talk with former coaching connections have a great day guys well thank you sir so we just
You just wonder how high will the Vikings if they set on Drake May how high do how high do they need to get up to get him I think to ensure that you get him too that’s that’s to ensure but where can I feel safe about getting him
If I if I trade up this is just me totally speculating here but it sounds like they’ve been working really hard on potential trades up at spot three and spot four and I think that the Patriots like Drake May a lot and if Drake May ends up going to then the Patriots might
Just sit there at three and take Drake Drake May and the Vikings then trade up to four to go get McCarthy but if if it’s uh JJ or excuse me yeah if it’s Jaden Daniels it’s either I said it totally backwards there Scott if May Falls to three I think you see the
Vikings move up to four to get McCarthy if it’s Daniels and May uh I said it backwards again they’re going to go come out for May or McCarthy um in my opinion it depends on who’s available there I don’t see May falling past three if he
Gets to the Patriots spot so we’re not hearing a lot about the commander trading back we are hearing commanders trade talks but it’s specifically giving an unbelievable offer to go from two to one to get Caleb Willams I don’t think that’s happening though uh but yeah it’s
It’ll be fun to follow yeah I would take an unbelievable offer and the Bears definitely wouldn’t want to come out of the top four they got a come out of this with one of their quarterbacks know if I can come out of this with the fourth pick at quarterback and three first
Round picks okay maybe I’m interested on that if I feel like again if they’re on tiers and I think that they’re all about equal but if I’m the Bears and I’ve got a number one I gotta take the number one I I have to uh especially wasn’t an
Overall very popular move there were some both sides with Justin Fields Justin Fields had his thing fans in Chicago you know fighting through for a bad team and then he had us detractors obviously that that happens a lot Troy says really appreciate both of you for for providing a level-headed Broncos fix
Troy we really appreciate the support that you show us as well real quick Nick were you surprised conditional sixth-rounder for Justin Fields I was surprised that little we talked about the market bottoming out for him where’s he gonna go a conditional sixth I’m pretty shocked by it uh overall I
Thought for sure that he would go somewhere but get a day two pick at least I mean he’s still a talented quarterback we saw a lot of flashes and explosive plays even though it came with you know turnovers and sacks but still he can make explosives in the running
Threat and get TouchDown so I am pretty surprised to see the NFL so much out on it I’m going to be curious to see what happens with Russell Wilson and Fields out there uh but we’ve kind of talked about it on here you got to be able to I
Want a quarterback who can play both in an orchest and in jazz you know play on time uh you know no one else but you knows what that means okay somebody in here knows what that means um or or how about this I can use a hiking analogy
Too um you can hike or you can off Trail it uh So you you’re staying on the path you know that’s your quarterback your bow KNX is your guys you know very much the def the defined route in there but you also want a quarterback who can get
Off Trail a little bit and Route find and you know I see that mountain over there I see that pass I can just pick through it with my eyes and get there so somebody who can do a little bit of both is what you’re looking for in the first
Round Fields right now can’t stay on the trail uh so to speak he’s purely off Trail he’s not leaving no Trace as they say uh so that’s a problem with him he can’t work the middle of the field that well too many sacks too many injuries
Scott too it’s crazy when you look at the injuries so I am shocked it was that little um if I was in charge of the Broncos I probably would have paid something that little just to have another option in the building uh but obviously the league said that they
Don’t trust fields and he’s out there for a six that can go to a conditional with just one year left it’s pretty pretty pretty crazy sh this is a great question and I saw the conversation yesterday last night I wanted to add in on to it but does excuse me does Pat
Ceran Trump two first round picks by the Vikings and moving up to get Drake May or McCarthy so let’s say the Cardinals are in business they’re open for business at number four and you say I’ll send you McCarthy and eight or the Vikings say I’ll send you 1123 and a
2025 number one which is the better deal I probably would take certan in that one because just the certain player uh he’s a special one and you don’t know I mean I don’t think the the 11th pick equal gets you a ctan caliber player probably and I definitely don’t think
What is it 24 Whatever Gets you that uh so you get 12 plus ctan in that scenario maybe they even throw in a sweetener like a 2025 second I’d be more interested in getting ceran and 12 uh than 11 and 24 if I was looking to trade
Back personally and I think again this in a vacuum I agree because in a in a vacuum and how I put this was if you’re the Denver Broncos would you take 11 and 23 for Pat San you’d think about it but I don’t I don’t know that I would I’d
Want a little bit more yeah I don’t I don’t know that I would so that’s how you can answer that question but the the the the flip side of this is you have to talk about who you are dealing with also and you are dealing Darren Nelson gets
It uh you’re dealing with a team who their window isn’t open right now for winning big in the Arizona Cardinals so is the cornerback who has about to get really expensive is that the best move for them to make now if the Minnesota the Minnesota Vikings might be interested
More the Minnesota Vikings might be more interested in that trade we’ll send you 23 and 11 for Pat San because we think we’re a move away the Detroit Lions the San Francisco 49ers the Dallas Cowboys they’d send you those two picks for Pat ceran but what a team that’s drafting
Fourth overall that has zero depth at wide receiver are they interested in a premium cornerback probably not so again it depends on the state of the team you are trading with their needs where they are etc etc you know Atlanta Falcons at number eight would I take pat San for
Eight and the 2025 number one probably the Atlanta Falcons could really use a corner right now they’re pretty set on offense that that makes sense so it’s not in a vacuum in a vacuum pater tan to me is worth more than 23 and 11 yeah I agree it depends on your window
Because uh but he’s very valuable no doubt uh Scott before we wrapping it up here did want to run a mock do you want to run a full Bronco mock or do we want to mock one through 11 and then get to pick 12 where we kind of control it so
That way you’re not sitting there with McCarthy and Daniels available at 12 uh pfn does a pretty good job with that actually the pro football network mck Draft simulator uh is is much better with the quarterbacks and then um while you’re while you’re deciding how you want to do
That so I don’t mind you do doing pfns I think they they’re actually better you don’t get a grade but so what y coming in again he says I’m nervous that another year in vance Joseph defense and pater Tan’s value will drop that is a concern and you know every time anyone
Argues that you can’t trade Pat San you can’t trade Pat San you can’t trade Pat San I want you to look at Brian Burns the Carolina Panthers turned down two first round picks last year and got a fifth and a second for him this year one more year after basically he’s like
I don’t want to be here so again with Pat ceran a lot of of it depends on Pat himself if he seems amiable to an extension okay that’s one thing if you’re getting luke warm Pat we want to talk contracts why don’t we wait till after the
Season so a lot of it depends on his long-term desire to be a Denver Bronco yeah yeah I think that’s we’ll see what happens with there he’s such a good player it’s hard to trade you don’t want to trade Hall of Famers unless and I think right now he looks like a potent
A future Hall of Fame kind of guy we’ll see I mean it’s only been three years in the league but that’s you know when you look at them that’s a special player he moves different the size is different you know you always use the alien analogy like if you some aliens came
Down from space and you showed them football like who are the difference makers like oh that guy that’s human beings are gonna be okay when I send you know when I send guys like Pat certan and Kus Campbell out there to to meet them the Goliath yeah the I’m LeBron
James is goingon to be part of that conversation too yeah hopefully he don’t show him soccer they’re like messy out there like this this is it Neymar what um but let’s move it here I got the pfn mock simulator going here Scott and I’m going to share that here for us um
Unfortunately it starts right away uh when I do that so uh it already is at Pick 12 and we have options available so there we go you guys are seeing it for the first time with me here as well at the same time so here we go we got one Williams
Two Daniels three McCarthy four Harrison five alt six neighbors seven Olu fashanu eight K Arnold there you go Scott quarterback Dallas Turner goes nine Drake May 10 Jared vers 11 so here we are with the Broncos top guys available Brock Bowers romad dunay Leu latu TI fuaga JC leam Kenyan Mitchell airus Mims
I think right there like airus Mims maybe Troy font I actually would probably have him up there too there’s a line of demarcations so I rejected all the trades but if you’re not going quarterback uh quarterback here a slight trade back to 16 17 18 would be very
Interesting for me for the Broncos uh that said for me there’s an obvious best player available let me say it what was that I said let me say it sure Nick Kendall is not passing on romad dun at 12 no he’s not no he’s not I absolutely
Love romad dun I wouldn’t be shocked at all if he ends up being the best wide receiver out of this class he tested phenomenally um he is what 215 so he’s a big boy too he can play all three wide receivers spots and he blocks his absolute ass off uh right now I
Definitely I’m leaning more towards offensive tackle if I had the choice between wide receiver and offensive tackle but I don’t see there’s any way in hell Scott that adun falls past nine uh in this scenario with the bears sitting there so uh adun seems to me the very obviously best player available and
I would Sprint to the podium to take him here you need a number one wide receiver wide receivers are getting paid unbelievable money and adun is a pretty darn special talent yeah it’s a it’s a deep draft but you don’t have a second round pick you know so that hurts
Again trade down and getting another number two then so be it you’re not GNA get a dunesday but you’re gonna get a really good player and you can get a really good receiver in the second round but you just got your number one you you got your number one for the next five
Years with with the dunes yeah I’m I’m good with this it’s still a need if I’m going into this season right now with uh with courland Sutton and Marvin Mims I I I need another wide receiver I need another passing option yep and B Nicks fell there to
Like 50 I think I would be very interested in uh something like that we’re just going to reject all the trades here guys um for the Broncos in that sense but um I really like romad dun in that option and I just can’t see any way he falls there uh he is he’s
Also unbelievably physical at the catch Point Scott and that’s something the middle of the field guys you can get Guys schemed open but at some point you’re going to have to be able to catch and play in traffic and he can do that Outside Inside so uh he is he’s a damn good
Player I know some people there’s a lot of talk that some teams have him as the number one wide receiver in this class even uh so over Marvin Harrison Jr it really is a big three at that position uh so I would be I would just be
Ecstatic with the dun so I’m uh I’m happy with him there Nick’s not an option here for the Broncos real quick I want to say hello to to Ethan Jeremy’s coming in with a super chat he says 4242 great show Jens and Broncos Country welcome back Ethan I know you were here
Some last week but you know couple couple shows in a row I feel like you’re back now Scott will get this symbolic Super Chat dude that’s a lot of pressure you know what 42 to me is Jackie Robinson and I don’t know what that has to do with March 18th so Jackie
Robinson is 42 otherwise I don’t know what that means I’m I’m uh I’m horrible at crossword puzzles because once I have an answer in my head I’m locked so all I can think of now is Jackie Robinson and I’m done so if it’s not Jackie son I don’t know what it
Means well that’s uh 4242 maybe it’s Nick Bonito I don’t know line who’s who’s who’s who’s the linebacker at 42 it’s Jackie to me brother got oh four and two maybe that’s a soccer score right now I don’t know what oh that was last night okay that
Was FA Cup yeah four to two that was uh that was FA Cup yesterday Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea Chelsea yep I get it yeah that was a goe a young frustrating team pulled out a nice win sabon X is gone um you have Spencer Rattler here in the third if we want to
Go that way Scott uh unfortunately I can’t see this happen Ricky piercea Falls there I know everybody’s like oh we got the wide receivers available but that’s kind of maybe a little bit of over certainty in your analysis right like oh we can wait to the third round
But if you have a chance at a wide receiver one profile the value there is tremendous on that rookie contract getting a top 15 wide receiver at like the 40th 45th highest contract or whatever it would be so I’m taking Spencer Rattler says I’m taking Spencer Rattler
Here if I haven’t gotten my quarterback yet and he’s on the board at 76 I’m taking Spencer Rattler okay we’ll go without that I I would say that Fisk is also an option here um he tested unbelievably at the combine and there’s just a chance that
You punt on maybe you just tra that Zack Wilson flyer after the draft this one for me is I think I think Rattler has a chance to go into the back end of the second on this board I probably wouldn’t take him don’t overdraft etc etc I could
Probably him a later pick maybe I could pair together a couple picks I could do something at 102 you’re taking him too early according to this board on this one I think this board’s wrong I think Spencer Rattler goes basically the over under his top 100 pick I think he is a
Top 100 pick and drafting at 76 I’m taking my quarterback here I think it’s very possible and I think if Nicks or penck fell the way they did here you maybe trade your 2025 second plus 76 to go get uh Knicks or something like that in the second
Round I’m fine with that uh meanss you’re probably less likely to take a quarterback in the future uh in 2025 that is because again you’re giving away top 100 assets that are really valuable in the ability to move around but that’s fine we’ll go with r here I think wasn’t
Still on the board though was he no he was taken I’m say says I take penic over Rattler yeah that’s fine and then Brad D says the corner from Toledo uh talking about um quinan Mitchell quinon Mitchell has a chance to be a top 15 guy yeah yes
He does I mean he could go eight Scott he could be the first defensive player off the board he tested unbelievably um and answered a lot of questions at the Senior Bowl too so we’re on the board here now 121 uh to me this guy who stands out is
Uh Theo Johnson um one he should not be here still you need the Broncos need an option at tight end and I think the tight end what we’ve seen here recently Scott in the last you know decade is that college teams are not very good at utilizing tight ends so what you should
Do is take the best height weight speed Athlete Day two and hope that they develop into something uh at round four even if they don’t that’s a fine risk analysis uh so for me I think that this is Theo Johnson pretty easily yeah I’m okay with that again you
Could go corner here also uh I like Kyrie Jackson in this in this area but Theo Johnson’s a very good option this late so we end up going him there uh we’re looking now we got so many running backs on the board Johnny Nixon from Penn State Jared Wy is still Tyler Davis
We have not gone defensive line yet he makes uh some sense there from uh you gotta quck go I’m getting dizzy man I can’t look at that the way you’re doing it sorry um Tyler Davis is available you got some quarterbacks Javon Baker he is really good I think he’ll go higher than
This uh you got Zack zinter silv ta Smith that’s your guy I like again it’s my guy in the fifth round I like him I I think he’s a good player again it’s one of those where I’ve done this before I’m like oh I really like this guy kind of
An underdog pick and then he gets picked like two spots too high or like oh man this is a scrappy little guy I like him this is a fun player to watch and then Auburn takes him as a commitment like I didn’t mean that that’s that’s not what
I meant like ta Smith I like taii I like TA in the fifth well we’re we have the first pick in the fifth round now so the question for me Tyler Davis or ta Smith or uh Justin M mcaffrey we took a wide receiver already I mean he’s there maybe looking more defensive
Line you probably or is this it we have many more picks because the uh you can probably still get um and the question is uh from Facebook user is the FSU quarterback U Jordan Travis available is he is he coming out yeah and he’s he’s right he’s right in here also and that
Wouldn’t be a bad red shirt guy you talk about guys needing a year I I think that more about coming back from injury um when you say a guy needs a year that to typically that means he’s not good enough yeah so uh coming back from an
Injury that makes sense and you’ve got your Bridge guide to him and see how he does yeah well the best player on the bo Bo Scott to me as Javon Baker I think he’s going to go round three so we already took wide receiver but it’s very
He stands out to me as the best guy maybe that’s the move this far down uh I know that you’re still trying to fill out that roster and this far down it’s really hard to it’s really hard to find guys um that I hit so Baker is the one
I’m most confident in that’s left on the board so is that crazy to go wide receiver again it’s not crazy again you’re you’re going in this with courland Sutton you may or may not keep you know that’s still up in the air but even if you are you’re going with courin
Sutton and Marvin Mims who is unproven as a receiver at this level and you can’t count on anything from Tim Patrick anything you get from him is gravy he may not even make the 53 there’s no guarantees there so no you need wide receivers and this is a good wide
Receiver class why don’t you set yourself up for the next five years he really stands out to me um we’re on the clock again 1:45 I’m looking at TA Smith uh Tyler Davis and egg Boi uh from Alabama some somebody on the defensive line there or uh ta Smith
Does anybody stand out to you there out of those ones did you take Foster I took uh Baker Javon Baker that’s what I meant sorry I I like a boy boy I don’t know how to say his name bo yeah a Bo inside outside there uh Keith Rand off’s pretty
Good in the middle too and then again Luke mcaffry still hanging around we just took a second I know you took your second wide receiver now I just got done talking about receivers I didn’t mean three okay we take a boy we got picked 145 and then 147 so I’m going
To go ta Smith here although actually the guy who really stands out for me let’s see if he’s still available here Scott UM quarterback Andrew Phillips yeah I loved his work at the combine I could go safety or quarterback here but I did want to give a shout out to uh
Andrew Phillips as well I thought he was very uh good at the Senior Bowl and good at the combine Corners are harder to find than they are but we’re talking round five so just get the good guy if you can here we’ll go with uh Andrew Phillips because
We’ve done taes Smith a lot uh for the Broncos and the Falcons so uh we’re running through round five now we got a round six pick coming up here at some point still okay we’re goingon to reject all the trades we’re in running back
Land now as well Scott uh we got uh Trey Taylor he was I think he won the whatever the award is for the best defensive back uh we took a tight end but Hulker makes some I’m not Air Force there’s got to be something there oh here’s here’s my special team safety uh
Vaky I’m going to take vaky he’s two-way player I’m gonna be an awesome uh special teamer in the very least uh and I like him a heck of a lot still on the board here is it crazy to go tight end again here Scott uh with a uh you’ve
Already put your first tight end on injured reserve there was a there’s a comment over here on Facebook about trying to trade Greg dolage it’s from Quinton Carson says good morning Nick and Scott maybe we keep doul one more year and seeing see healthy okay that was one there was another one talking
About being able to trade uh doul you know for somebody a little bit more reliable that’s the problem y’all you know what’s your trade value for a guy I kind of I kind of joke about this all the time this guy he stinks he’s too expensive and he’s
Always hurt we got to trade him who who wants that guy so the trade value for doul isn’t very good right now because he can’t stay on the field and unfortunately the offensive line group is pretty darn poor at this point we have not taken I think a single
Offensive lineman Scott did you last Kingsley ukom from Florida is a decent Center you know in that but the problem is you miss on one of those guys you’re not getting any contribution at all with an offensive lineman so that’s where you try and go special teams players which I
Like defensive backs in that spot and maybe a running back Isaac gendo tested unbeliev with the combine bad choice at what 207 you can take him and and turn him into a special deams demon at at worst I hated his vision but I still don’t hate it uh
We could double up at tight end too tip Ryman tested unbelievably at the combine and then there was another name somewhere down here that I thought stood out to me I uh not sure where it is now um I’m getting motion sickness from your yo-yoing you let me know when you settle
In on a page I’m settled in on a page I think we’re gonna take the chance at Isaac Reno uh add a running back to the room and he’s a big athlete so that might be it do we have a seventh round pick I feel like the
Broncos don’t have a seventh round pick so that might be it there we go all right well definitely the drafts are a lot more fun now that we have a uh a bunch of picks to uh go through now that thanks to the Jerry Judy trade I wish
There was more in the top 100 don’t love that you have one let me see 3 five six after 120 uh not a lot of value sorry string Al have to work a little better on the the scrolling there I can read it fast I’m a speed reader yeah but you
Bounce back up it’s not going down it’s the up and down it’s uh we’ll see what happens with that but there’s your mock draft adun Rattler Theo Johnson Baker again really leaning the skill positions that’s not really our flavor here Scott as much but that’s okay then we get Boi Phillips vaki and
Gendo there uh I would be very happy if the Broncos walked out with this I’d be so excited to have Roman dun here if Rattler doesn’t end up the guy I feel pretty good that you at least have a wide receiver one which arguably Scott wide receiver one is probably the third
Most important position on a team in my opinion these days uh if you follow the money yeah then there’s again with with that Jerry Judy trade there’s definitely more guys to get in here to get some depth in there and and we could if I could have seen the board a little bit
Better without getting motion sickness I might have sorry Scott I might have looked I might have looked at some of those interior off of linemen and gone for some of those guys from 121 to 147 I’m sure there were a few in there well next time Scott I’ll give you the the
Driver because I’m sitting here trying to go fast trying to go quick because I gotta get up and take care of the baby uh but that’s gonna have to do it for us today guys we appreciate everybody coming in it’s always fun to do a little mock draft Monday uh make sure you’re
Following Scott and I on Twitter Scott is Scout Kennedy I’m at Nick Kendall MH also make sure you’re following us at migh huddle as well as at facebook.com mhigh huddle and Facebook .m high huddlepod and as the ticker says here underneath please subscribe to Mile High
Huddle like our show and share on all your social media platforms Scott any final thoughts uh burning things that you wanted to get to before we get on out of here no my my thought for the weekend was I can’t believe Justin Fields went for a sixth my goodness of
All the quarterbacks that were traded he ended up with the worst deal that said there were there reportedly four teams that were interested and he said I want to go to the Steelers and Ryan Po’s did right by him like he said he would so they may have been able to get a
Little bit more for him but still that was that was low and it is it’s he’s on a one-year contract there’s no freaking way they pick up his option there’s no way you don’t you don’t pick up a 20 million it’s more than that it’s like 26
Million fifth year option on a guy that you get for a six round pick so one year of Russell Wilson one year of Justin fields and then let’s see what happens uh but I want to say thank you to our Super Chat Superstars that came in Mr

Not even feeling like a bronco anymore and the decisions being made are not making it any better people looked at me crazy amongst raggedy falcons when I wore a bronco tee yesterday an I can say I was embarrassed and stidham will have the Broncos with the worst stats in 24-25 in our whole history I guess we are just a conditioning team for players we are no longer a team for the win we won’t make the playoffs for years to come WE REALLY HAVE NO TEAM AN A EGOTISTICAL SLIGHTLY ABUSIVE COACH the whole affiliation is shot now 😤😠😡🤬🤨
Always love the content ❤

Once again….this is why we should have traded everyone of value at the trade deadline vs. keeping them for a meaningless win streak. A higher draft pick and more draft picks to rebuild.
daily reminder…CSU is better than CU
CSU beat CU…this season!!!
Pac-12 is garbage!
Nix wont be there at 12 neither will J.J either we move up or we dont get a qb
I'd rather Denver take Verse, Bowers, or Turner at 12 than swing on Nix. The pass rush on this team is weak, and if Denver really does like Nix, they should borrow from themselves next year and trade a first in 2025 for a first this year. 2025 looks like a down year and there's not a lot of noise for prospects we need. I'm thinking Detroit would be receptive to that trade considering that they probably project themselves picking late next year and project us to be in the top ten, but if Denver hits on 12 and Stidham plays decent, there's a chance we could be picking in the twenties because the competition in the AFCWest is weak and the schedule looks to be fairly easy for us.
I'll be honest. I know you guys don't have shit else to talk about, but I don't give a shit about the draft.
If McCarthy is truly out of Reach, then why waste a Top Draft pick on a Quarterback who won't last anyways? We probably can't compete anyway, what good is Nix going to do us? In this Doomsday Scenario, Trade back and take a chance on Penix in the second or third Round. Penix might get Hurt, but at Least he has a chance of being something special. Bo Nix will never be a franchise Quarterback.
42:35–43:25 Go get McCarthy.
