Pack your bags, we'll leave tonight.

 

Not sure where I am going with this--maybe the "pack your bags" part?

Let's see if any of these millennials with their paciphones can get this one.  I bet Money they cannot.

That quote was MONEY!

I really wanted him in the 2nd then he blew up the Combine and that became a pipe dream.

Yep and I 100% said take Burns and McCoy in the 2nd because 16 is way too early for a C who was in the same basket as McCoy and Jenkins until the combine (where all 3 did well). We could have HS Burns and McCoy. Argh.

Yeah, all three of those guys were pretty much neck and neck for top center in the draft prior to the Combine. I preferred Bradbury simply because I was more familiar with him since I'm a fan of an opposing ACC team.

We just paid Paradis a massive amount. We wont be upgrading whether you like it or not, so just hope he gets better from his injury

You do not play a person based on their salary.  Period.  You do not say, "We made a bad deal in free agency, so we are going to let him punish us on the field for the next few years."  You keep him for depth, get out of the contract, and you find someone who can do the job.  They tend to go to IR if you cannot cut them to avoid drama.

Remember Bene

 

Top rated rookie DB, started strong year 2.  Broken leg towards the end.  Year 3 starts, gives up 300+ to Julio then fell off the cliff.

 

Remember Jonathon Cooper out of UNC, top 10 overall super hyped OG.  Broke his leg first preseason.  Looked like a different player/trash after being tossed around the league.

Yeah, I remember both well.  I guess I was just assuming more players with broken leg injuries we've seen in the league fully heal and recover...  but, yeah, as you pointed out, there are always these cases...  and sadly, in Paradis' case, it appears Elway knew more than we did smh...

No arguing we have a huge need at center.

Remember when we were all excited about Matt Paradis? Oy.

Just please also give Taylor Moton a shot on the left and I'll feel better knowing we at least tried.

Moton hasn't exactly been a superstar at RT this season. Is he left handed or something?

Terrible?  Do you have proof?  I don't have access to PFF grades, but I do know Cousins has been sack 25 times less than our QBs and their rushing attack is 4th in the League.  So not giving up a ton of sacks AND one of the best rushing teams.  Yeah, looks like their OL is just as crappy as ours.

But we had 2 tickets to Paradis.....

Brian Oneal has been amazing as well as Kline and Riley Reiff. All graded well above average. Bradberry is by far the weak link along with the Ohio State kid at LG who has struggled as well
