    How we feeling so far with Paton buying the groceries?

    I like it a lot. Wish we had drafted a RT or ILB but it’s a solid draft nucleus.

      I too wanted RT but I think we can survive another year with either turner or Compton

        Broncos seem adverse to drafting ILB. I was very surprised they did not pick one.

          odd selection of the WR in the 5th round
          crowded room when the OT for NDSU was still on the board
          and i believe a top 30 visit

            We seem to be allergic to RT.

              other teams fans complain about this as well, but many teams do well finding UDFA ILBs

                What was wrong with using that 7th round pick on R. Walker OT from Penn State? Packers took him soon after. I'll bet money the CB the broncos took in the 7th won't make the team.

                      2021 draft annoyed me. I wanted Micah Parsons at the 9th but he went with Surtain, who was still one of the guys that I thought was worth the pick, but not who I wanted. Then we moved up to grab Javonte Williams, which I disagreed with because there were a chunk of OT's that could have started for us immediately at RT available at our original pick. I loved the Meinerz pick, the rest of the draft was solid enough.

                      2023: I wanted an impact edge rusher, a real prospect at RT/Swing, a TE that could block, an off-ball LB, Zyon McCollum, and a RB. The rest would be Special Teams prospects. So you tell me how happy I am with the 2023 draft.

                        Ok I'll try to remember this in 2023 and tell you how happy you are. Gotta be honest tho I can barely remember what happened last week so I doubt I'll remember this a year later.

                        Hah, I meant 2022 but I'll probably be even more annoyed in 2023

                      I like it all. Every single guy will have a chance to contribute. Love love Bonitto pick. It’s going to be what we wished Shane Ray was.

                      Freak athletes. We got way more athletic.

                        It just didn't fall.

                          We're going to keep surviving another year until we don't have a LT either.

                                We've been bitching about this since AL Wilson left. Honestly it's not how the league is anymore. You don't have Brian Urlacher-types anchoring your team. It's all coverage and pass rush because the game is all passing.

                                    1 pick away from Fred Warner... That one still stings

                                      I guess these days you could just switch back and forth between dime and nickel and never even bother to have a Will or Sam on the roster.

                                        I've been bitching about it since Danny Trevathan left. When I say I want an off-ball LB I expect the guy to be a solid tackler who can cover the short middle. It's a really, really hard job. I think you might have to convert a Safety to get your guy, but whoever it is will take some draft capital to acquire.

                                          Another season of watching the Broncos get gashed up the middle for 20 or 30 yards multiple times per game, over and over and over. Oh well. Maybe I'll turn it into a drinking game? Gash up the middle (for more than ten yards) take a drink.

                                            That's not happening with DJ Jones now on the roster

                                          This is the 1st time Hackett has had a lot of influence on a draft I suspect, recommending players to Paton. It is clearly not a good draft whereas last year was pretty good in comparison when you look at rounds 3-7 (since no 1st rounder this year and only a late 2nd). Could be Hackett has the same problem with drafting that another offensive guru had, Shanny Sr. Many head scratcher picks this year.

                                            Bonitto will be crucial this year in the rotation, and with Gregory & Chubb being injury liabilities, he’ll be needed big time. He was the best Edge available, and has top pass rush skills.

                                            Dulcich will compete with AOK, and may be the starter by the end of the season; I read somewhere that a pro comparison is Greg Olson. Not a bad comparison.

                                            Mathis will back up KWaun Williams, who is injured every year. Mathis reminds me of a young CHJ. Tough & smart.

                                            EU is depth at a thin position group. We needed a replacement for Shelby and possibly Purcell, and this guy has a chance. I wanted 2 DT/DE’s, and he & Henningsen fit the bill. Love Henningsen’s motor and love of the game.

                                            Montreal Washington WR, was an initially a head scratcher until you realize he’s a PR/KR WR playmaker, and will make ST’s better. Could help on 3rd downs too.

                                            Everyone else is depth ST’s guys, some might develop, who knows? What do you want from 5th-7th rounders? I thought this was solid on paper, but the proof is during the season. We’ll see.

                                              I wonder if M. Washington is a one hit wonder. His game against the Gators that you see all his highlights from?
