Midweek Musings: Let’s Give ‘Em Something to Talk About

Just when you thought it was going to be a slow week for the NFL, along comes the report that the Broncos tried to trade Peyton Manning to the Texans.

We saw the initial tweets from Benjamin Allbright that were shared earlier, and the response from Mike Klis that the Broncos did approach Manning about taking a $10M pay cut. Then came Ian Rapoport, who tweeted that the Texans had called teams about their quarterback situations, and that was all they really did.

Ranking the Broncos: 70-61

Hello Broncos Fans!

Going into training camp, this Broncos team has a lot of new, unfamiliar faces on the roster. In order to help the average fan get acquainted with the layout of the roster, I am ranking the Broncos 90 man roster pre-training camp. Keep in mind, that IR players (ahem, Ryan Clady) will not be included on this list. If you have any disagreements with my rankings, let me know.

Open Thread: What would you take for Manning?

As I’m sure you are already aware, reports are swirling that the Broncos tried to trade PFM this offseason. With the stipulations that Manning is A: Healthy, B: Happy in Denver, and C: Osweiler is an average starter at this point in his career, what would Houston have to give Denver to make this trade okay in your eyes? What if they offered J.J. Watt? Or a couple picks?

Sound off on what your price would be if you were John Elway.

Scouting 2016: Edge

Hello Broncos Country!

This is a continuation of my weekly column, in which I scout the top 3 at every position in the 2016 draft. I know this is looking way ahead, but if you are a draft geek like me, it is still good to get a feel for what next offseason has in store. I also would like to mention at this point that I will not be scouting kickers or punters, sorry Marshall Morgan.

All 22 Chris Harris

Continuing in today’s apparent theme of Chris Harris love, I found an interesting article dissecting just what makes him so good that I felt was worth sharing.

Earlier this month, I shared a Mile High Huddle all-22 film stufy of Bradley Roby. Well, Chad Jensen continued that series, this time examining Chris Harris Jr.

Rankings, Schmankings!

Last week, I had heard that Tony Romo was going to be the highest undrafted player ranked on the NFL’s Top 100 list.  This meant that, because he hadn’t been named yet, Chris Harris, Jr. would not be included on the list.  I thought briefly of making a post on this, and earlier today Leo delivered a cathartic rant on the subject.

But I decided not to make that post last week.  Why?  Because we should not stress out and pay as much attention to rankings as we do.
