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.

The 2nd overall pick values at 2,600 points and the 5th overall pick values at 1,700 points. That leaves a 900 point difference that the Broncos would have to give in picks, and possibly a little extra.
Just about every time you trade away a future pick, that pick is valued at one round less. For example, the Broncos trading away their 2019 1st round pick would account for a value of a 2nd round pick.
Considering that Keenum should be able to get the Broncos into the playoffs at a Wild Card, the 1st round draft pick for 2019 will likely be no higher than 20th overall. That would then be valued in a trade right now as the 52nd pick overall which is 380 points. A 520 point gap remains.
The Broncos hold the 8th pick in the 2nd round which is 40th overall. That pick value is 500 points. That would then leave a 20 point gap.
The easiest way to pay up that 20 point difference would be with the last pick of the 5th round, the 160th pick overall and currently the Broncos final pick in this years draft. That pick is valued at 27.5 points.
So before kicking in anything extra, a Broncos/Giants trade could look like this...
To sweeten things, therefore kicking in extra, the Broncos could swap out their 5th round 160th pick (27.5 points) for one of their 3rd round picks; the 71st pick (235 points) or the comp 99th pick (104 points).
I really doubt that the sentiment around the league is that the Broncos are playoff contenders. The team itself would certainly not value their 2019 1st as a pick in the twenties.
We were 5-11, at best we should value our next year's pick around spot 10-15.

Given the Broncos have already tried to trade CJ this offseason, maybe he could be a piece of the trade, reducing the # of picks we would have to give up.
Was that supposed to be sarcastic? Nowhere in there does Pace say that drafting Trubisky has been a mistake, much less his biggest. In fact there are no Pace quotes at all. All that link says is what the author of it would hypothetically say to the GM, then the author said that signing Glennon has even Pace's biggest mistake thus far as a GM.
It is only throwing away if Keenum doesn’t start next year. If a QB is taken at 5 and Keenum can be solid until the young guy is ready then it isn’t a waste.
If you draft a guy in the top five he better start year 1 or its a waste of a pick!!!!
Not trubisky. Signing glennon. He called it reckless. Theres plenty on google search about it. When they moved up and took trubisky, everyone then said "what the heck were they thinking". I dont recall a single person that said they just signed their bridge qb, now they can draft one and im around quite a few bears fans. They may be out there bet ive never heard that.
So if a gm says that it was reckless, im not completely sold on using it as the model to go by. With how this offseason played out, one would hope the front office has an idea with their ootions
Why is everyone so high on Darnold suddenly? Because he had a good pro-day in the rain? Is that really it? No one remembers the turnovers and fumbles that became progressively worse during actual football games? I'm not seeing why he should be picked over someone with better passing skills like Rosen or strong leadership potential like Mayfield when it seems he has neither of those traits.

When jimmy haslam sat with his parents he was sweet talked and went for it until he held a private workout for josh allens arm. Now darnolds parents have been having private meetings with other teams
Well, if we do draft a QB, I hope it is him. He has the 'it' factor that the other four seem to lack. I will take that any day, especially if the skill sets are comparatively equal.

I can get behind this if he is in fact there #1 guy on their board. If this happens I would expect a draft day trade of Paxton.
