Denver Post article....

The Denver Post is reporting the Broncos would like to have Paxton Lynch from Memphis, but doubt he will be available when they pick. The next name mentioned is DAK PRESCOTT, followed by Cardale Jones. "Mississippi State's Dak Prescott, a dual threat who is skilled at progression reads in the passing game, could still be on the draft board...." IMHO Dak would fit Kubiak's scheme to a "T".

I could handle that. I don't think Kubiak is a great coach, but that team would be great for him. I'm still hoping for Kansas City and Andy Reid.

Denver has bigger QB needs than KC. I posted this last week ..

KC currently has 4 QBs on it's depth chart .. Alex Smith (11 years), Chase Daniel (7 years, came from NO as a FA), Aaron Murray (2 years, drafted in 5th round, pick 163) and Dominique Davis (3 years, been with 4 teams, signed as a FA for '16)

Meanwhile, Denver is getting interesting. I just don't see Peyton coming back .. which leaves 1 QB on contract .. Trevor Siemian (Rookie from Northwestern; coming off an ACL in his last month of CFB). Brock Osweiler (4 years, 2nd round, pick 57) had an up and down year as Peyton's backup, starter, then back to backup BUT is not 'on contract .. yet. Last I heard, he will soon start negotiating with Elway who wants to pay #2 QB money and Brock thinking about determining his worth as a FA. Denver insists they want him back but don't want to tag him as their 'franchise' player with the $19M+ hit.

Denver 'could' enter upcoming draft with their lone QB having appeared in ONE NFL game, and who is 1 for 1 for -1 yards in his NFL career. Of course, Denver has plenty of options .. trading for a starter (or potential starter) .. Resign and make Brock the starter .. stand pat and give Peyton one more year (doubtful) .. or go with Brock and draft another QB in the upcoming draft.

The Peyton / Denver decision .. one way or the other has to happen in less than a week .. clock is ticking.

Dak would fit well in Denver. I'm surprised the Steelers aren't interested in Dak. He'd be a good backup for Big Ben

As a Bronco fan I want him in Denver. I also think it would suit him well. I too am surprised by the lack of Pitt interested. The historical stability & patience in that franchise would be good for Dak as well.

I think the steelers have more interest than they may be letting on. Just has to be in the spot they want him.

I hope he goes to Denver, which is my favorite NFL team.

Link to the article since that's obviously hard...

[colodawg]

Thanks. At age 74 I didn't know how to do that.

I would like Dak to play on a team that airs in the Memphis market. That would be Cowboys, Titans, or whoever the Mannings are playing for/against.

I`ve read two different articles today about Dak to the Pats.

I`ve read two different articles today about Dak to the Pats.

New England only has two QBs on it's depth chart heading into the draft ..
Tom Brady has 16 years of NFL experience but is 38 years old. Backup is Jimmy Garoppolo, Eastern Illinois, 6-2, 226, 4.97, 24 years old; drafted in the '14 draft, 2nd round, pick #62

I just want for Dak to go to a team that is interested in grooming him and is patient enough NOT to just throw him out there in his first year.

Despite the NFL constantly changing rules to try and protect their high $$ star QBs, this game is a true contact sport and QB position has had some notable injuries over the past two years.
All told, in the 2015 season, 12 (of 32) starting quarterbacks missed a combined 55 starts due to injury, including Romo (12 games), Manning (2), Flacco (7), Philadelphia’s Sam Bradford (2), Indianapolis’ Andrew Luck (4), Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger (4), Cleveland’s Josh McCown (7), the New York Jets’ Geno Smith (11), Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor (2), Tennessee rookie Marcus Mariota (2), Chicago’s Jay Cutler (1), and New Orleans’ Drew Brees (1).

In 2014, 17 (of 32) quarterbacks began the regular season as their team’s opening day starter and didn't miss any games due to injuries. Starting quarterbacks missed 67 games, with an injury either ending their season or resulting in the loss of their starting job.

Would love to have Dak in Tennessee. McNair 2.0

I don't know why I don't see this comparison more frequently. To me their playing styles, build, running and passing ability and competitiveness are a much more natural comparison that the Tebow thing that is usually put forward.

I think Dak could fit well in a number of different systems. I would like to see him in Denver. That's a team that I could see him having a lot of success with.

KC is also somewhere that I believe he could do well in.

Can't wait for the draft!!!!!!!
