and we value draft picks more than about any other team. Us being a little more aggressive wouldn't be a bad thing at all. We depend
on rookies a ton as well which usually isn't a good plan if you are wanting to win the entire thing.

Even a trade for Osa like you said would be an "all in" move for us compared to other teams like the stealers or Chiefs where it would 
be a pretty regular move for them.

Mims (maybe)
DTs (as part of a rotation)
Burton (maybe?)
TEs… (maybe).

Honestly, we have always built this team in a way where the rookies are not typically expected to contribute, always planning for a year into the future. This year it is mims for RT next year, Burton for Tee, all for Mike G, DTs are a bit different but Bj is on a one year deal.

So on and so forth,  but I would say we are not depending on our rookies.  We have a decent blend of vets and youth.

Jay Tufele dressed for practice today, joining the list of guys returning lately. Gesicki, Hendrickson, Rankins, and Trent Brown, all dressed today as well.

Looks like Tee will have a vet day. pic.twitter.com/RBerp4qpIE

Too late in the season now…
Higgins and a first for Sutton and a Surtain.  

But Denver isn’t trading a 24 year old top CB.  Not soon anyway.

Cart coming out for Charlie Jones now. He couldn’t put weight on his leg getting in. Awful to see, he’s been having a great camp.

Many teammates went over to him before he went off on the cart. pic.twitter.com/yiFTzSUQcT

Amarius Mims vs Myles Murphy is highly entertaining to watch. Advantage —> Mims.

He is definitely looking the part out there

2. With some nagging injuries on the D-line, the team signed 320-pound defensive tackle Carlos Davis for added depth.

4. Vonn Bell will help the run defense with his instincts and sure tackling.
His work ethic resulted in Bell receiving the coveted closest spot to the entrance in the player’s parking lot.

5. DJ Turner got his first INT of camp on a Joe Burrow deep ball intended for Trenton Irwin.
“I’ve dropped too many, so it was good to get that one,” Turner said.

Teammates had been calling him “Mr. PBU” because DJ had break-ups but no picks.
“Yeah, we’re going to retire that.” pic.twitter.com/kIRBbKyhz7
