i dont give a poo about the broncos. However, your statement about them being stacked is so wildly inaccurate that I dont even comprehend why you even said it - unless the intent was to just lie...... 

So in PFF’s system a plus 70 grade is generally regarded as being good. I think you’re making a good point, just not the one you intended to make. There’s better players there than I think you’re giving credit for. I’m encouraged though that they are largely later picks in the draft.

thats not PFF's rating system... that Lineup's rating algorythm that they use for performance metrics that they report back to vegas for analytic gambling and core position performance. They keep it simple.... if you are in the green... you are good .. if you are yellow you are okay... if you are red.. you are bad. AS you can see from the excerpt below they compare players against other players at their position.

There are a lot of ways to value an NFL player, but our Lineups Player Rating has come up with a unique way to rank each player by position. You will see some of the top names in football with fairly high ratings, but there are some names that might surprise you. Sample sizes in the NFL are often small, so we look at things on a more recent scale. Injuries might throw a wrench into things, but if they come back healthy and produce, then that rating will be up in no time. There are a lot of unique ways to bring value to your team and produce big numbers, you have those possession wide receivers, and then the big red zone threats. The same goes for running backs who can pound the rock 20 times a game and those who only see the field on passing downs. Every player has their shot to build up their rating. Once you’re explored players, check out our Team Ratings page for overall team ratings, defense ratings and special teams ratings.

Well now I’m wary tbh. That’s a low grade for Alex singleton who was regarded to have had a great year last year and pff gave an excellent score.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how Morgan is strategic-He re-signs Scott because he was not going S in round 1--he had the chance, and he did not.  He saw the top of the draft at T and knew none of them would be ready to start day 1, so he signs a veteran to a one-year deal, giving his tackle selection a chance to learn and prepare for what might be LT or RT.  Those two moves suggested, perhaps ironically because they contradict each other, what he was going to do, based on the talent pool.  He never brought in a Robinson replacement at DE/NT, and then moves up to draft one.   I almost wonder if the intent was to draft DT/DE all along at some point, maybe with a trade back, but then Freeling dropped to them.   Of course, we felt that they were looking WR, and wonder if the plan was to draft a WR in round 2 if you traded back in round 1.  However, when Freeling was there, the trade back fell apart.  Then we traded up for Hunter.  We could stick with XL and hope Metchie steps up, so we sat still in round three and took Brazell II, a 1000 yard speedster and perfect Z WR.  What a break. At that time, CB and Center were our biggest needs, and with several possible centers on the board and a good fit for our defense at CB, we grabbed Will Lee III.  Lee and Thornton have people in front of them, but I think Morgan knew we needed a guy who can play the outside and press--and probably step in as Jackson's replacement in 2027.    After making trades to get back into the fifth round, where we grabbed one of the best centers in the draft.  This is significant because we signed Fortner to a one-year deal; maybe Morgan saw what some of us saw--the center position is strong in this draft--on day 3, and day 3 players need a year, in most cases.  Moments later, a safety they had been talking to whose skill set matched what we are looking for in a FS.  As stated, Scott was signed,  but the fact that the Panthers were talking to Wheatley and not Theiemann means that they might have known they were not going FS early, but would need a developmental FS later--which explains why we signed Scott.  So if you pay attention to the one-year, vet deals, you can tell where we planned to sign later-round, developmental players.  What positions did we draft early that did not have 1-year veterans signed in front of them:  DL (Hunter) and WR (I don't count Metchie because I count starting-level players). I would not be surprised to learn later that the plan was DT and WR in rounds 1 and 2--then Freeling fell.  Notice that Freeling--from Mt Pleasant SC, did not come in for a visit.  Most of the other OT candidates had short arms or were certain to be gone. I don't think Freeling was in their plans.  I think a trade back and Hunter and maybe Boston was the vision.  I am guessing that CB was also high on their list.   So in this draft, we got

      This is one area I think that is not getting enough exposure in the midst of all the optimism. I like Chuba a great deal from a personal standpoint but he has largely proven nothing on a consistent basis yet. He's had the one season of production but before that most people pegged us as moving on. And last year injuries or not he just did not have that juice. The rest of the guys are completely unproven. I don't see anyone among the group having a game or a handful of games worth of high level production the way Rico Dowdle did last year. And yeah he dropped off and yeah he got an attitude about our incompetent handling of the touches which was honestly justified on his part and he moved on but he did legitimately save our season. That's what it is going to take to seize control of the NFC South. We all know that we will not be passing all over defenses. It is what it is. So who amongst this RB group is capable of doing that? And if we are struggling to run the ball AND pass are we going to revert to making excuses for our coach and QB again? That is definitely getting old.
