Not surprised. T.E. showed good hands in preseason. Some of his touches in the run game where wrecked by our backup O-Line. He's also faster & has great size. Really hope we can keep Victor on P.S.

He's also Ferrell Edmunds' kid & y'all know how we love that.

Watch Edmunds beat out Lasco at the #4.

According to NFL.com, the Broncos are going to cut Ward Saturday. Ward was entering the fourth year of his $22.5 million contract, but the team felt that Justin Simmons, a third-round pick in 2016, was ready to take over the role so they were comfortable parting ways with the veteran.

Just had to post it. We traded from the third to the second to get Bell and could have just taken Justin Simmons in the 3rd

Had Simmons rated higher Bell in that draft. Just tooting my horn before the kid even starts LMAO. could end up eating crow

Bell looks to Williams back up

My short list round 2 on was
Sean Davis
Justin Simmons
Deon Bush
Mils Killebrew
Darian Thompson
Von Bell

2016
1 - Laremy Tunsil ROT Ole Miss 6050 310
2 - Jarran Reed, DT/DE, Alabama 6034 307 5.21
3 - Justin Simmons DB Boston College 6025 201 4.53
4 - Matt Judon, DE, Grand Valley State 6030 275 4.73
5 - DJ Reader NT Clemson 6025 327 5.33
7 - Kalan Reed CB Southern Miss, 5111 192 4.42

Round 1 Laremy Tunsil vs Sheldon Rankins is still developing

Round 2 it was hard to argue with Michael Thomas pick though i did go with Jarran Reed almost took Sean Davis but thought he would last till the third. wrong again.

Round 2 Justin Simmons vs Von Bell. Bell still has his rookie contract to prove me wrong, i hope he does. Simmons is getting his shot.

David Onyemata vs Matt Judon is a fight one i am really enjoying watching. both are looking really good

Stray thoughts

Go sign Ward already. He has a dead cap of $1,250,000 already. I se the Pats going after him. They are all in for another ring

I wanted DT Reed and NT Reader, too. Wouldn't that have solidified the front!

Totally agree, Hagan...Never like trading two picks for one, it rarely works for us and limits darts on the draft dart board...

And I want guys that can play, but we've got a little too much Buckeye for my liking, though I'd gladly keep Thomas, a steal...

Let's just hope Lady Luck smiles on us with Lattimore and I'll be Golden...

[hagan714]

second thought pass on TJ Ward and stick with youth movement and look to next years draft and save the cap space

Round 1 Ronnie Harrison, SS Alabama 6011 214 4.57 #15 Jr
Round 2 Quin Blanding SS/FS Virginia 6011 205 4.58 #3 Jr

Wild card Kyzir White SS/OLB West Virginia 6025 215 4.56 #8 Sr

Cool with almost every move but Bighill. All dude did was make play after play

Numbers game. We already had Klein, Te'o and Robertson. I'm sure he'll be a priority PS signing.

We still have Anthony don't we? I'd take Bighill over him and I like Anthony but it's all about making plays...

Anthony looked great at WLB until he he got hurt.

Bighill is more likely to clear and sign to our PS than Anthony.
