So basically, all we need is for us to lose out and Falcons win one game and we are a lock for the 1st pick.

Well if we lose out, Falcons win 2 games as a part of that... I think Falcons will bounce back and get some wins, not playoffs but close to .500. If not though, our meetings could be huge for the #1 pick.

Yeah, on that list I don’t see Houston or Atlanta as real competitors for the top pick. Falcons lost to Seattle and choked against Dallas. Houston lost to KC and the Ravens, maybe the best two teams in the NFL.

Biggest threats in my eyes as of right now are the two NY teams. They're both dumpster fires. Then Vikings/Lions depending on how their 2 meetings turn out but both those teams are pretty damn bad this year too. Broncos have had a ton of injuries and will be right up there and would certainly take Lawrence over sticking with Lock. Skins are possible but I think Ron will get them to 6+ wins somehow this year, especially considering how bad the rest of that division has looked so far.

Elway currently going on an IR binge...he's on thin ice in Bronco land so I wonder if they are prepping to call it a season.

Just added Mark Barron and DeMarcus Walker.

Currently the Broncos have 46 million in cap on IR lol.

Don’t forget that IR rules are different this year. CMC is on IR as well since you can come off after 3 weeks and there’s no limit. CMC wouldn’t have been on IR last year. Lock is on IR but he’s expected to be back before we play them.

Oh I know but I can't find the injury the are placing them on their for. The did admit that Lock will stay on the active roster.

Yeah that I knew just not for Barron and Walker but they finally released it was for calf and hamstring just thought it was odd "they are being sent to IR" with no immediate reason.

Yeah, I think if they know it’s 2-3 weeks they just do the IR to be able to bring up a PS player.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
