USA Today mock draft has Denver drafting a QB.
3rd year chance of being a contender with that route... I'm going with %15
Though there is a lot of young talent on that team, it would seem a waste of some very productive years to saddle the team with the time that would be required to get a draftee up to speed.
I just dont understand why it seems to be a foregone conclusion from you, midbay and others that whoever the Broncos could draft wont be good until year 3. There have been plenty of examples throughout history (and multiple in recent history) of QBs having productive rookie years and being really good in year 2.
I'm basing my position on the less-than-sterling assessments of the QBs coming out in this year's draft.
Would Denver fans, and the new owners, be content with another year of Bridgewater (if he agrees to stay) while hoping the new guy would be better than either Bridgewater or Garoppolo?
I can only speak for the one Broncos fan I know who has the opinion that he is beyond tired of retreads. I dont know how the entire fanbase would react.
And speaking on my own personal opinion, I would ALWAYS prefer drafting a QB than to trade for a 30 year old middle of the pack QB (not even counting injury history).
I can see why Bronco fans would be tired of the junk they have had since Manning. Even in Manning's last season, though they won the SB, Manning was not the primary reason. He was 13/23 for 141 with a pick.
As to Garoppolo's ranking; there are a handful of guys that are in a muddled group with Garoppolo.
Brissett - backup at best
Stafford - fails at the worst times
Derek Carr - turnovers at the worst times
Ryan - not close to what he once was
Mac Jones - still limited
Jalen Hurts - a runner who plays QB, quite limited
JG - with one exception, the best of all those with the game on the line.
Out of that group, I would put JG near the top - 11-13 overall...but that is just me.
