2022 Broncos' Season, Draft Targets

 


The NFL Draft is just days away. The fun in Las Vegas begins on Thursday, but the Broncos don't pick until Friday. The team doesn't have a First Round pick, but the Broncos do have nine total picks. It will be important to come away with impact players and depth. Here's a few positions I think the Broncos will target.

Running Back: The team has just three backs on the roster currently. Javonte Williams is a budding star and should be the lead back. He'll likely be incredible, but this is about depth. Mike Boone and Damarea Crockett aren't enough. I expect the Broncos to use a pick, possibly as high as the Third Round, to grab a complimentary piece in the backfield.

Tight End: The Broncos traded Noah Fant to get Russell Wilson. It made sense, and the Broncos aren't bereft of talent. I like Albert Okwuegbunam, and I think he could be a solid starter and contributor. Beyond him, the Broncos have mostly blocking options. I think the team grabs another option in the middle rounds, possibly even taking Trey McBride in the late Second or early Third Round.

Offensive Line: The Broncos have options as starters and some depth. You can never have enough. If a great tackle prospect falls to them, the Broncos should pounce.

Linebacker: I like Baron Browning, Josey Jewell and Justin Strnad. That's a great start. The Broncos could still use more depth and playmaking in the middle. This could be a target in the Third or Fourth rounds.

Secondary: The Broncos have great Top End talent in the secondary with Patrick Surtain, K'Wuan Williams and Ronald Darby at Corner, and Justin Simmons, Caden Sterns and Kareem Jackson at safety. You can always use more talent and depth, especially at corner. I expect the Broncos to take a look at this.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
