  • A lot of people were high on Monte Ball last year. I wasn't. I also wasn't high on Doug Martin (I know I think I was the only one) and look what happened there hah. But vision is what I think sets these two apart from the heard. Would rather add a power back IMO but would not be mad at all if Ball landed here. My opinion has obviously changed.

    • I wouldn't hope too much for a MLB cause the team is really really high on Irving and Johnson
      A healthy Kenneth Dixon is a top 5 NFL RB.

        pleas explain how catching a TD pass helps with pass protection?

          That's what they are saying anyway. I really like Irving, but it's draft season so you have to take everything with a grain of salt

            Very true. See who they are talking to at the combine and pro days.

              • I've been hearing for some time that the Broncos are interested in Montee Ball. So, it is no surprise that his name is coming up quite a bit. And Montee has said himself that he'd like to be a Bronco. But without a trade down, out of the 1st for extra picks, I don't see the guy coming here. We have a late 1st, late 2nd, and late 3rd. The 1st is way too early, and I don't believe there's any way that Elway believes in spending a 1st on a "non-Adrian Peterson" RB. The end of the 2nd Round will probably be too late. And Ball, as an overall talent, and not considering his position as a RB, is a late 3rd Rd. talent. But with the lack of decent runners, I see Ball going in the 2nd, prior to where we pick.

                I prefer Stepfan Taylor. Ball has a few hundred more yards running in his college career, and is a better runner than Taylor. Taylor has twice as many receptions, fits the Broncos scheme, and is a decent runner. Plus, he's from Stanford which might catch Elway's attention. I also agree with the opinion on the above mentioned back, LeVeon Bell, whose 30 lbs bigger than Ball, had 3 times as many receptions as Ball had last season, had almost as many yards, in one fewer game.

                I believe that in order to get any of the 3 RBs mentioned, and I'd be happy with any of the 3, it will take some movement. If we stay where we are, and use the 1st two Picks on a BPA (which I don't believe includes a RB) and "trenches" player, as I hope, then we'll have to be creative to get any of those RBs

                  Same team that named Tebow starter last offseason...

                  In the NFL, and professional sports as a whole, anything can change in one second. If someone is available either during FA or through the Draft, and the FO thinks they can have a bigger impact now, he will be a Bronco.

                    At this point, I do not see either of these players taking over the starting MLB position this coming year. I was hoping Irving would, but I saw very little evidence last year that he was being groomed for the job.

                    If I'm wrong, that means one of these players has really stepped it up......but right now I believe we need to, and will find someone else.

                      There are a lot bigger holes then MLB at this point. DT and guard are more of a priority as well as a explosive slot receiver

                        Limited pass protection experience is what you said. Which is false.
