Payton loves the trenches. 4 of the 5 starting OL in New Orleans were drafted by Sean Payton with top 50 draft picks, so it’s no surprise he went after 2 OL early. You look at who he’s drafted at tackle, Ramczyk and Peat, both tall, long athletic tackles like what Andy likes. McGlinchey was the only one available like them after we got Taylor, so no surprise. I think Sean is gonna draft a QB in a year or 2 while he has a vet QB (Russ) to make them a 9-10 win team in the short term. |

The truth is that this is a garbage free agency class though. Why spend a ton of money for short term mediocrity? Wouldn't it be better to play the long game? It just feels like every other team last year doing everything they can to compete with the Chiefs, which we all know now was a terrible decision, but the Broncos are doing it with a team that's nowhere ****ing close to dethroning the Chiefs or even the Chargers. If there's any team that should be playing the long game, it's the Broncos. Trying to win now with Russ, his contract, and no picks is foolish. A waste of time. They know they needed to spend their money if they had any chance of competing this year, and they spent it desperately. Sometimes the best move is to do nothing and wait. It's not like Payton doesn't have job security. From their perspective, I don't think it would be "tanking". It would be accepting reality. |

Sean Payton is sitting pretty tbh. They were desperate for him and he didn’t bring in Russ, so if things don’t work next year he could clearly say that he didn’t bring Russ in. He’s pretty much God over there. Still doesn’t stand a chance against us though ![]() |

They're out here spending a shit ton of money like they are trying to turn this thing around and compete for the divison and a title immediately. That's the definition of "win now". Every now and then you do this weird contrarian thing. I don't get it. |

They're basically the 2013 Chiefs with worse contracts at QB and a bit less defensive talent.
It's not ideal, but they should be able to win 8 or 9 games with Payton now at the helm and get back to building a winning culture. |

Russell Wilson is going to be the most expensive football porter in NFL history as he hands off to Williams and Perine 35+ times a game.

Von Miller? Gone Bradley Chubb? Gone Noah Fant? Gone Dre’Mont Jones? Gone Who are the players they’ve drafted the last 4 years that are still there? Jerry Jeudy (they’re trying to trade him), Patrick Surtain, Javonte Williams (assuming his knee isn’t ****ed)…and? That roster is bad. Like really bad. And they won’t have a first rd pick in 2 years. Again they don’t even pick until rd 3. Can you blame them for spending a ton of money to fill out the roster? It’s a literal dumpster fire. Hell when Andy took over he got a ton of young and vet stars. This Bronco team has Patrick Surtain, Jerry Jeudy, a 30 year old star safety leaving his prime and…Russ. How many rosters are in worse shape than them? Can’t count many |

You've made my argument for me. They need blue chip talent. Deal with the lack of talent and the need for blue chippers by "tanking", or in other words dealing with the mess you've made as opposed to trying to fix it. |
