Keenum to sign with Broncos-Still need QB to groom?


Recommended Posts

You can take the Broncos off the Cousins list, Keenum is reportedly going to sign with the Broncos. I see this as a good sign since there is no way they count on Keenum long term, and a reversion to form is quite possible. I would think this is the perfect scenario where Keenum is the bridge QB and whichever QB they draft, he can sit for a year or maybe even two. So the other team in the top 10 I would like to keep in play for trading up is the Jets, and I don't see them getting Cousins since you have the Vikings and now Arizona is ready to make a 29/M per year offer for 5 years with 90M guaranteed. Yes the Jets can match it, but Minnesota and Arizona are much better destinations if you want to win now. I still think Minn. wins out, but regardless, I think Denver and the Jets will be in play to trade up. I know other teams will want to move up also, i.e. Buffalo, Miami, but my first choice is the 5th or 6th, or maybe the 5th and then the 6th, grab the extra picks, and hope Chubb is still there, but if not Quentin Nelson plus those extra picks will be just fine.

 

So what do you think, is this playing out exactly how we would want?

 

 

With Norwell reportedly having us in his final 3, I would think Nelson and Norwell as our guards would really make our line quite attractive going into the season. All we would need is a RT. Man just think of Norwell and Nelson at the guard spots. Our run game would be nasty!

    • Lawrence Owen recently said that Brandon Aiyuk is a "system WR who wouldn't put up 700 yards on 90% of NFL teams." He's about as untrusty of a narrator as you can possibly get. And like us watching at home, he is not privy to the route calls, the playcalls, the reads, etc.    But I watched the video. AP had a great game. However, Lawrence is driving this narrative with this one game against arguably the worst pass defense in the NFL last year. Fulton (#26), who was on AP much of this game, was especially bad last year, registering a 46 PFF grade.     They had mismatches all over coming into the game and they exploited it from the beginning, hence AP's involvement. It's really not any deeper than that. This game was a complete outlier from any other game too, as far as production.       So Minshew held back the whole team, but benefited MPJ and Downs?    If AP was getting open all the time and it was "like this every game", he wouldn't have ended up #124 in win route rate or #110 in avg. separation (min. 45 tgts). The people who watch every game and the tools that track these stats don't support this idea.   As someone said earlier, targets are earned. Minshew is executing the offense, but Steichen is the calling the plays and assigning reads in the RPO. So why wasn't Steichen dialing up more plays after this TEN game? Minshew made the throws in this game, so clearly he can make the throws.   And even with AR, who we know can make all the throws, they were hardly dialing up plays for AP either.   With the drafting of AD, it speaks volumes about who is holding back AP.
    • It’s gotta be one of those two or Laiatu.  I guess I’d say Odunze, since TE didn’t end up being a position we hit at all, so there’s no proof CB considered it a need.  However, that doesn’t mean we wouldn’t trade up for a unique talent (Bowers) for whom we have a “plan”…
    • Does it mean anything to you that Kwity had 2 less sacks than $170M Joey Bosey? Bosa played 180 more snaps. Kwity did a great job playing his edge, the run, and covering his flat. He also got his breather on a lot of 3rd downs because... we were developing Dayo and had Lewis who was very effective in rotation on limited snaps.     
    • Ballard had no idea who Turray was till the Senior Bowl. His trait was he was the fastest off the snap there. So let's take him and see if we can make a football player out of him.  And your final answer - Ben Banogu  Well he was a State Champion wrestler so he should a good tackler, a real leader, plays with unknown tenacity, a step slow but - Rock ya-sin.   Dodds and his large team do the scouting, Ballard has an organization to manage. He/we have not risen to the top with his underlings following his process.  We have been stumbling, bumbling for a number of years for sure.    The good news is we can see some very solid pieces he did choose are  foundations for our current reboot. The South is going to be a real battleground like we haven't seen.   
    • That’s my hope at least. We feel, more than any year in recent memory, primed to possibly go into next year’s off-season with no major holes (assuming we re-sign our FAs or our depth looks ready to step up). That lets us take BPA or try again to move up for an elite prospect. But there are a lot of IFs here (IF our DBs have an improved year. IF we don’t have any major fall offs in performance. IF we don’t have any late season major injuries, IF our rookies this coming year show us their trajectory is still high.   I would classify myself as cautiously amped moving forward haha.
