Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

i'd lsit nelson as a game changer for what he can bring to our offense. he can bring a nasty gaurd with all-pro type talent opening holes for CJ. he can bring a gaurd that can match up against any interior pass rusher in the league. like the suhs the donalds and the atkins. he brings a guy who once he gets his hands on a defensive player that defensive player is out of the play.
Minkah gives us an upgrade in speed. but i still feel it would be best to have simmons at FS it is his more natural position. and i feel we would be best to get a coverage lber. alot of them attackign us with TE and RB was getting them matched up on LBer and abusing the fact the we do not have a good coverage LBer. i don't see how adding minkah fixes that?
I think Nelson is as well, I was just looking at other guys since Nelson was already discussed.
I agree on safety, I feel.like Simmons and Parks were the tandem plan. Plus, Elway has never drafted a Bama player fwiw
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care
Andrew Norwell is the 2nd highest paid OL in the NFL, OGs have now started to eclipse the the 10m apy in FA and extensions. With the increase in interior rushing, guards have become infinitely more valuable.
Well there you go then. All the more reason to draft Nelson. If he is as successful as I think he can be 8+ years starter, first year starter, and possible multiple pro-bowls, it is going to cost us a lot to get someone comparable.

Even though I am not a Bama fan I kind of wish Elway would have broke that trend last year. Though the LB I wanted had some issues, so maybe Elway wasn't wrong on him. I would have taken the TE though.

I'm hoping for Rashaan Evans this year, but it's unlikely

Fitzpatrick would provide the versatility that Stewart lacks which forced our LBs into so many tough assignments in coverage. 3 safety looks are pretty common now and between Fitz, Simmons, and Parks we’d be able to mask the coverage issues our LBs have more so than with Simmons, Parks and Stewart
2) Elway just signed a QB with $25 million guaranteed for 2 years. We will try to win with him for now, so keep him upright.
3) Keenum is not exactly an elite QB, so besides better pass blocking, we'd welcome more holes in the running game to keep the offense balanced.
4) Max Garcia gets out of the lineup, Connor McGovern becomes a quality backup and suddenly we have good depth in the interior of the OL.
I think Nelson is more than just a guard, he is a special player that can improve not only the performance but also the attitude on the field and these are the players you take early in the draft.

Nice video!! my coach used to call those hits a slobberknocker!!! I love your point about attitude, that is definitely what you want to see from early, heck every draft pick.

I’m fine with Nelson, especially since I think you build a roster from the inside out.
But, with this deep OG class, it’s gonna be hard for Elway to pass on an elite edge rusher or once-in-a-generation RB for a guard.
I think I can stomach passing on Fitz, but I just can’t justify passing on barkley or
Chubb (unless Chubb doesn’t fit our scheme). Still, how do you pass on Barkley? Tough call...
Anyway, I’ll be content with Chubb, Fitz, Barkley, James or Nelson.
If the Broncos get Quenton Nelson, I would not rule out him getting a look at RT during camp. It's a way to put or best 5 o-linemen on the field is McGovern keeps progressing. Nelson has OT size and arms (33 3/4"), moves well and plays with a lot of power. As his draft profile indicates, he is "unique because he's big, but he's not fat". I doubt Khalil Mack would be able to put Nelson on skates like he did with Schofield, Stephenson and Sambrailo. It would also be a treat to see Nelson burying Mack and Bosa in the running game.
