Are the Broncos following the Rams formula?

The difference is that Denver wasn't already a competitive team. They are talented but not good.

LA was only a couple of years removed from a SB appearance, were competitive and insanely talented.

Wilson makes then a SB contender but I don't think I would consider them a favorite.

Buy (as in sign big name FAs) your way to the Super Bowl. With picks not always working out, is it better to get proven commodiaties?

A lot of teams try but few can pull it off. If you dont have most of your money tied up in mediocre players that is. You have to have enough young quality players that you've drafted to allow you to go out and get a few hired guns to make a run. The problem is you cannot sustain that approach as evident by who regularly makes it to the bowl.  I wouldn't bet on the Rams repeating what they did last season. It just doesn't happen in this era.  But that doesn't stop every team from trying to find that formula. Most are happy to get just one chance and that's what they build for. The easiest route, well relatively speaking, to get a shot is to go all in like most do when they think they are close.  The problem is you have to be a well built team in a short amount of time or have been building for years to pull it off. Very few have the patience or the stomach to do what it takes to build a solid team that is a regular contender.  It seems our owner is one of them.

Remember Philly’s Dream Team? Most of it will play out that way when you try to buy a ‘ship. This ain’t the MLB. 
 

Denver 15, TB 20 and LAR 21 are hopefully anomalies. SB’s are much more satisfying when it’s homegrown and earned rather than bought / purchased. 
 

also, old man yells at cloud. Who gives a fug.

When the Broncos acquire McCaffrey and go from worst to first, we will all be wondering what if...

Why would they go after mccaffrey when they have Williams and Gordon? Did Marty hurney sign on as GM?

Gordon will be a free agent and they have yet to move on signing him to a contract. Waiting to see what they can do in trade negotiations. So, they obviously have their target set on a RB valued higher than Gordon.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
