We could more than likely get Sewell at 9 and get Broncos first next year. We could also theoretically trade with Pats for their 2nd and a first next year and grab VeraTucker best true G in draft many options.
Anderson and Munoz say draft Sewell if there

There are likely other receivers that also fit the description. Those two just jumped out at me. But, as for drafting players that aren't the cream of the crop at their position? That's the entire point of having the franchise QB, that we drafted #1OA. Schwartz gets the opportunity to work with, and be elevated in his game by Joe Burrow. The team needs to protect the franchise (Joe Burrow) by putting the money and draft capital into the OL. Not only to protect him from pass rushers, but to develop a dependable rushing attack, so that he isn't having to seemingly pass every down. Wouldn't you just love to see the Bengals line up on 3rd and a long two/short 3, and just hand the ball off with confidence? ![]() Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

So you want to compare taking the best option left (Elway's case) to The best option in the draft. Elway hasn't hit on the QBs he drafted but he also has only drafted one in the first round since he took over as GM and that was 2016 when he took Lynch at 26. Easier to miss when you aren't handed the top choice of the position group on a prime position like QB or Tackle... Also... there is this: Under Elway's management, the team signed free agent quarterback Peyton Manning who had just been released by the Indianapolis Colts. In four seasons from 2012 to 2015, the Broncos won four division titles, two AFC Championships, and one Super Bowl. So... yeah I think I'd be pretty ***** pleased with a Super Bowl title. And so should the people of Denver be happy with Elway? Yes, Elway's choices got them a Super Bowl. ![]() ![]()

I would do it, because it would presumably allow you to get a first-round grade at both positions (Jenkins and Marshall, for example), and then allow you to go BPA sooner than expected and improve the team without paying any mind to the "Civil War" lol. Humphrey, Jamin Davis, Perkins, Phillips, Oweh are all quality names that could slip through the cracks that would be hard to land otherwise imo. I respect MJD, but I'm trying to limit the non-Bengals on the list. There's been countless others to come out for Sewell.

I'll make note of it, but frankly it's Reiff that I'd kick inside. He's the veteran. He's switched before. He's on a 1 year deal. It just makes way more sense to bump him in Do you respect the opinion of the countess Bengals legends who have come out in favor of Sewell? (04-22-2021, 09:37 PM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Right?

Meh. Willie has been very adamant on his Twitter and really only waffled a bit on the Podcast. I don't see where it's a giant leap in logic to think he just didn't want to live out our threads IRL, and was probably trying to be respectful of the others. Again, he's made his stance clear on Twitter.

He got a hell of a player and again, you are coming down on a guy that had a 4 year run that is the stuff of wet dreams around here. He won them a Super Bowl. Dude, I'd forgive Mike Brown's years of crap in the 90's in a second if this team won a Super Bowl. ![]() ![]()

QB is the most important position, and leaving a guy like Allen on the board when you have Case Keenum as your starter is a huge mistake, imo. If it was an AJ/Dalton situation where they ended finding a good QB anyway I would agree with you, but they didn’t. They still need one (I don’t think anyone is sold on Lock). Hell, they might even try to trade up next week. They also could have taken Lamar. That’s 2 Pro Bowl QB’s (one an MVP) left on the board when they didn’t have a true starter. That’s kind of indefensible to me. ![]()

Hell, they might even try to trade up next week. Yet I return to the simple statement of... his moves took them to two Super Bowls and they won one of them. And I was wrong, his first QB he drafted was Tebow, and he actually got more out of him then anyone else ever did, they beat the Steelers in a playoff game with a rookie Tebow under center... And if you want to use Jackson to shit on Elway, you have to use it to shit on everyone that was a "draft expert" even they guys you are citing for your pro Chase agenda. No one saw this coming from Jackson, and he actually regressed a good amount last season, so time will tell. In the end, it is very simply. John Elway knows more about football and scouting talent then you or me. So does Munoz and Willie Anderson (especially Anderson who still runs a camp). Oh.. fun fact, Willie said he saw potential in Ced and people laughed. Ced leaves here, gets new coaching, and is still playing in the NFL. So... again, going to say Willie sees things you don't and I don't. ![]() ![]()

After watching hours n hours of tape , I'm picking Team Slater ! Being home injured from work gave me This opportunity.. This guy looks like a 10 time pro bowler at left guard or maybe even tackle. You cant go wrong with either of the 3.
