    Again, not taking his side but we just signed the best TE recruit in the nation from like a 8 man team and all of us were basically saying the same exact thing.  I don't see anything wrong with what he said.

     

    Someone else saying it is not nearly the same thing as him saying it.

     

    It's rediculous to say that there aren't any Texas 6A players succeeding.

     

    He's had about every possible advantage in life.  To try to act like you've overcome some significant odds is pretty self-righteous.

    Nice.  I hope yall get your guy at QB in the 1st round.  Next year's draft might not have as many QB studs.  And I don't think the Broncos will be bad enough to select the cream of the crop.  That's why I would be all-in this year.  

     

    Maybe next year Sanders will be a Bronco, if they want to wait and try to tank for a top 8 pick?

     

    I'm not a big fan of shipping away more early draft picks.  We've done a ton of that recently with terrible results.

     

    That being said, I don't see Payton wanting to sit around and wait for a second-tier QB to develop, especially after a bad first year that they've basically blamed on Wilson (not that I disagree).  However, since they have done nothing to sign a free agent, and with those options basically gone at this point, I don't see that they have much in the way of options except to trade up as far as they can to get a guy that they think they can at least get to the playoffs with in year one.  

     

    I think they would have a reasonable chance with any of the first five QBs to be drafted, and maybe Nix as well.  But if they stay at 12, they'll get no better than the fifth choice and you risk someone else trading up and grabbing that guy.

     

    So my gut says they are going to trade up into the top five and get a guy they really want, future be damned.

    So, I’m trying to figure out how some of these tackles should have been made. 

     

    I presume they want the defender to stay on his feet until he can push the ball carrier down or backwards.

     

    I'm not sure it's all that hard to change (other than being in the habit of doing it the way that is now outlawed).  But it's a lot harder to get someone down when contacting them from the side or behind.  So it will be a lot more yards after contact.
