The Broncos were among the clubs trying to get back into the first round, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com (on Twitter) hears. Their target, according to Mike Klis of 9News, was LSU linebacker Patrick Queen.
The Broncos got their wish at No. 15, landing Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, their top-ranked receiver. Had Jeudy not been available, they would have looked to trade back for either Queen or fellow ‘backer Kenneth Murray. After landing Jeudy, they tried to get back into the first round for Queen – instead, he went to the Ravens.
Elway wasn’t so sure that he’d be able to get Jeudy at No. 15, but he was pleasantly surprised with how everything turned out.
“It was probably less than 50 percent,” Elway said. “I think that when you look at it he was there a couple of times. We really kind of worked off our mocks with him not being there, and in the situation he wasn’t there, which direction would we go. It was a lot less than 50 percent and that’s why when he was there, we were thrilled that he was there.”
With four picks on Day 2, the Broncos have plenty of ammo if they want to move up for another linebacker. They could also use that artillery to address remaining needs, including cornerback and center. For now, the Broncos’ Day 2 party starts in the second round at No. 46 overall. After that, they have a trio of third-round picks – Nos. 77, 83, and 95.
Im shocked that for the 7th year straight, they didnt take a QB who is “the guy”
They didn’t take a QB in 2018 or 2014. So idk how you got 7 straight years.
Quit hating
Does anyone else think John Elway is starting to look like actress Kathy Bates?
Hahaha ha. I can totally see that.
Haha yah and not the Fried Green Tomatoes Bates but the Office Bates
They have Drew Lock at QB who went 4-1 as a starter at the end of the season. They believe Lock is “the guy”.
Good luck with that.
Just like the Giants believe Daniel Jones, aka Danny Fumbles is “the guy”, I’m not so sure about that.
3 3rds & 5th for the Steelers 2nd ????
