  1. @NFLfan I traded the Broncos 6th round pick (206) to move up from 75 to 73. Every other pick I still have (including 96).
  2. Cool cool. So it worked out for both of us. I got to choose my guy for an extra 6th. I had a hunch there lol! Kinda like Ballard with Jonathan Taylor moving up 3 spots in the second to get him!
  3. Little confused here. Were you taking Hall or did you just have a backup plan in case I stole your pick but ultimately I didn't?
  4. Trade up was a bit lopsided, but I was afraid of the Cowboys or Falcons sniping me with that pick. Cowboys lost Gregory to the Broncos, and Falcons need an EDGE. Also, neither took an EDGE so far in the draft. So I had to protect myself. If Hall works out, losing a 6th rounder means nothing in the long run.
  5. With the 73rd pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select, Logan Hall, EDGE, Houston Broncos get a solid EDGE that can fight for starting time right away with Von Miller gone and in case Randy Gregory misses time. Bradley Chubb has one year left on his contract, and Hall could be a full-time starter next year.
  6. Well, Tigergate is because Bengal Tigers hunt Buffaloes, and I'm from Colorado, and we have the Colorado Buffaloes here, and I'm picking for the Denver Broncos lol. Muma being from Wyoming and a bison I didn't consider lol!
  7. With the 64th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos select Chad Muma, LB Wyoming Broncos get the best coverage LBer in the draft and my 45th ranked player on my draft board.
  8. Bengals forfeit their pick due to tigergate. Picking on wild Buffaloes which offends me because I'm from Colorado. Their pick goes to Denver and Denver gets back to back picks!
  9. A lot of people don't know a lot about Pierce, but this is a nice pick. I was hoping to get him later in the draft. Good job!
  10. @NFLfan The Broncos have the 234th pick now from the Detroit Lions in real life. They received it in the Trinity Benson trade. https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/broncos-awarded-seventh-round-draft-pick-trinity-benson-lions Not sure if we'll do the full 7 rounds, but this is just in case.
  11. Nice! This defense has the potential to be great this season!
  12. Well Andrew didn't invite Grigson to his book club every Tuesday night, so they're even!
  13. That's mostly based on Matt Ryan and the upgrade from Elighner. Remember, the true upgrade is Wentz to Ryan, which isn't huge. The Broncos are up there because of upgrading Lock to Wilson, and the Browns are up there because of Mayfield to Watson. Really only the Raiders and Dolphins are true FA upgrades in the top 5.
  14. Another day yesterday, no FA signings. I feel at this point it's fair to say if Ballard doesn't do something that makes us definite playoff contenders by the end of the draft, then we should fire him immediately and promote Ed Dodds as our new GM. Morocco Brown can be promoted to assistant GM. It may not sound fair, but we are just wasting time at this point. We have had plenty of opportunities, and the effort and care for this team by Ballard isn't there. I think Ed Dodds would be an upgrade. The cherry on top of this would be if we traded a 3rd or 4th round pick for Devante Parker, when there have been 30 or so signable WRs in FA that we didn't get for free, and another 30 or so guys in the draft that we can get that are 6-8 years younger.
  15. Colts Fans: If Ballard doesn't address the pass rush, I'm gonna lose it! Ballard trades for Ngakue and trades away Rock-Ya-Sin Colts Fans: If Ballard doesn't address the quarterback, I'm gonna lose it! Ballard acquires Ryan Colts Fans: If Ballard doesn't add any players in FA, I'm gonna lose it! Fixed it for you Let the man work. We can complain about the team he's built after he's built it. So when is that going to be, when he's forced to do it on draftday when it's basically mandatory for every team to participate? Oh wait, we don't have a 1st round pick there either, so looks like we're sitting out day 1 of the draft as well. At least we'll get the depth pieces we were supposed to get in FA (Ballard can't even do that for us unlike previous years).
  16. Darius, get Ballard in a one-on-one meeting and tell him to sign some FAs!
  17. The Broncos and Colts are my two teams, but this is very skewed. When you go from Elighner to Ryan, and Lock to Wilson, it definitely gives you offseason improvement because of the QB position. Likewise, the Falcons and Seahawks are on the very bottom of that list because of them trading them away. Most of the improvements from other teams is a bunch of small improvements besides the big FAs, however, most of those teams already had a QB in place. As I've said before, I like the Matt Ryan signing, but it's almost useless on its own unless you upgrade the team around him, and the draft by itself is not enough when you don't have a 1st round pick and every other team is upgrading through FA and the draft.
  18. So 3 days with Matt Ryan and we signed nobody. Here comes day number 4. This is getting bad honestly. We open up salary cap, and nothing. Why are we opening up cap if we aren't signing FAs? Does Matt Ryan not attract FAs? Is Ballard literally low-balling every FA he is interested in at this moment? Is he just doing a mini-tank at this time, using Matt Ryan to appease the fan base? Or is it that he's stubbornly going against what 31 other GMs are doing, thinking his way is still the right way, when the results have been poor? Stop sinking this team Ballard! You don't even have a 1st round pick in the draft this year. Previous years you had either a 1st round pick, or you traded it away for a legitimate player, or you traded down and had multiple 2nd round picks. None of that is true this year. This year, our 1st rounder is gone. It is a sunk cost in Wentz and there is no value in it. We have only one 2nd round pick as well. Unlike previous years where we got Braden and Leonard, and Taylor and Pittman. You seriously think you will outdraft other teams in the NFL by such a wide margin that it not only makes up for a lack of a first-round pick, but the lack of signing anyone in FA as well? You are crazy Ballard! There is no way this ends well IMO, and it's going to blow up in Ballard's face once he sees all the weaknesses in the team after the draft and the beginning of the season. Expect a draft like last years, except without someone like a Kwity Paye that was a surefire top 20 player in most people's rankings.
  19. I responded to @csmopar saying whose to say they didn't try. I was just making the point that the Colts FA interests are generally leaked when they fail, and I used Jones and Engram as the examples. I wasn't talking about signings before they happened, we are talking about two different things here.
  20. If they would have tried, it would have generally been leaked in this day and age. We heard about Justin Jones and Evan Engram signing elsewhere when we tried to get them. That's it though. So I'm more led to believe other than Brandon Facyson, those are the only other FAs we've tried to go after so far, and neither signed because we didn't have Matt Ryan at the time.
