So many experts had Lock going mid round 1 and that scared the shit out of me because I didn't think he was worth it. I loved the Fant and Risener selections. Doesn't matter if you get a strong QB and your OL and TEs suck.
They held out and there he was with the 3rd selection, it doesn't have the pressure to start him now. I would have been fine had they bypassed him, but they liked him. Lock doesn't start unless Flacco gets hurt and we'll see if there's anything left in that tank and whether or not the OL plays better. That's the key. I like the improvements on OL and the fact that Munchak is there. RBs look good, I really like Fant and the receivers are solid. |

IIRC, they kept Smith because it was cost prohibitive to drop him... and why not keep him around until they moved forward with Mahomes? And, I don't recall anyone ever really calling him a project. Possible gimmick TT QB that might not perform so well in the NFL - yes, we all heard that and he crushed those doubters.

So, Sanders had 71. Sutton (rookie) had 42. Thomas had 36 before they traded him... and then Hamilton (rookie) started getting those targets, he had 30 receptions. But, yeah when you just look at it through your glasses... great point. We'll find out soon how well Sanders has recovered. I like the potential for Sutton and Hamilton. |

We want that roster to be solid so they're constantly picking in the 15-20 range.
Elway has no idea what to do at the quarterback position. His evaluation has been horrible. |

Yeah, but moving from 31 to 26... kinda meh. Not disagreeing with the failure piece, just saying they weren't lighting the world on fire with that move up.

Horseface had to know that Flaccid wasn't exactly going to excite their fans. I think drafting Lock was a PR move...gives the fans something to hope for. He's about the only interesting story going on for them this year... If he turns into something, it's a bonus. If not...his presence has kept the fans engaged until they have a shot at a legit QB. |

It takes very motivated reasoning to look at that situation and say that Elway was particularly stupid in that situation. |
