Don't eliminate Lorenzo Doss from your 53-man rosters quite yet.

  • Doss was projected to be a 4th-5th rounder in the 2015 draft--Denver took him in the fifth, where he played behind Talib, Harris, and Roby.  In 2016, that secondary was the best in the NFL.
  • He ran a 4.47 at the combine.  He is 5'10" and 24, fwiw.
  • He had 15 interceptions in college in 3 years. 
  • At the Broncos camp last year, he was awesome.  One reporter tweeted during a scrimmage with SF, " Another pick 6 for Lorenzo Doss! That's 9 picks in camp so far. "

So far, he has been a ball hawk in Carolina.  Today was the third straight OTA with an interception. 

Q:  SO WHY  DID THE BRONCOS CUT DOSS LAST YEAR ON THANKSGIVING DAY?

A:  He missed a meeting on Thanksgiving day before practice.  It was not his first missed meeting.  Denver was 3-9 and Elway wanted to send the team a message. 

It just seems that this DB understands how to get interceptions because he gets them whenever he is on a football field.  Buried on the bench of the best secondary in the NFL in Denver (aided by one of the best pass rushes in the NFL), expect Doss to fight Corn, Captain, and Seymour for a spot on the roster.  We could use a ball hawk in the secondary. 

I have been saying this for a while--the CBs on this roster are young, improving, and could be a real factor.  They are not going to be the Achilles' heel many believe.  Just watch.

Lol keep him over Seymour? I would say Captain with no hesitation.

This is my first thought--a post Jun 1 cut...save some money.

Problem is cutting Captain doesn't really save much and he's definitely our best nickel on the roster. And no Jackson is not a nickel. With no TD first 4 weeks we'll be running a ton of nickel CB and we need Captain for that.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
