Hope all is better South.
More I read and watch, may have to side with Hop on this one. Looks like a bum deal similar to the one we got with Seattle when the dude up and retired right away. Still not in panic mode as the cuts will come at the end. Just hate seeing a fourth go out the door for former potential.

Thanks Yi...I'm on the upswing I think.
I don't disagree with you or Hop honestly. I just think the insight Kubiak and Dennison have with this kid
could trump what PFF graded him at. Time...as always...will tell.

TryThinking wrote:How you doing man, like the name and I use to have a natural mineral and fossil gallery in So Cal. Sold a very nice ichthyosaurus years back out of there. They were the guys that ate Ammonites and were related to early dolphins. I was born in Colorado, (Colorado Springs) but moved to So Cal before I was 1 and been here ever since. It's a comfortable little area to hang in that's for sure. Back in the day, (Swiss ver1) you would find people talking all through the night at times. It was pretty crazy busy, however it was a very fast moving single thread and could be hard to keep up with at times. Utah was mentioning being an early poster in Switzerland, I think I was the first here, and I'd have to refer to CK as to how early I was on the previous version, but it was in the single digits too. I came over from Fox when it just got out of control and had a bunch of trolls and some guys beating their collective chests saying they were going to take everyone done in there. (basically just using an exploited line of code that would let them hide peoples post for a short time.) Got pretty silly and then the monitors went kind of dysfunctional, and you would never know when they would address an issue or not and getting a simple response was like pulling teeth.
That was the beginning of the original Switzerland.... the rest is history. Good to see you here and all the others that are giving it a try also.
Dolphin Phan here!
Have a great night!
Hey Thinking, I lived in COS from 95-2012. Now I'm in San Diego (hence the screen name). Where in SO Cal are you?

I'm up in Orange County area, about 1½ hours north of you, depending on what part of SD and traffic of course.
I'll probably be down there for the Charger/Dolphin game.

can't say I blame them I would burn it. Have you noticed that the Broncos have asked more TE draft hopefuls in to visit then any other position.
http://t.co/hg807qzV7o If they want a TE I think they draft one in the late rounds this kid is a late rounder

I wouldn't have a Cutler football anywhere near me. Much less pay for one.

He was a starter that means 3 subs were better then he was. He didn't play last season so how do you get better if you don't play. Just my opinion but I think the team could have made a 4th round pick and draft a bust. Why take on someone else's bust
I agree hop, but at the same time, Kubiak and Dennison had contact with this kid all of last year. I have no idea what they see in him, but they must see something. If Elway was to pick someone at the bottom of the 4th round this year that pushed the starter but ended up only providing depth on the OL, I would be ok with it. Not great value of course, but how many late fourths come in and take over? I know we can rattle off a list of late round guys that beat the odds...that's not the bulk of 4th-7th rounders. More often than not, those guys end up being the depth on your team. What I'm saying is that if Gradkowski ends up being OL depth, I'm ok with it.
Now all that said, I see center as just as big a need today as it was before Gradkowski was signed. In no way does that trade take away from the OL needs this team has. I'm still very much driving the Erving or Grasu bus.
I know this we have 1.8 million in worthless centers on this team Ramirez 1,250,00 and Gradkowski 570,000 waist of money. Paradis should get his shot this season. And maybe the coaches will play who they want instead of who Peyton wants them to.

I just looked over at Fox Sports and it is officially dead. Hasn't been a new post on the Bronco page in almost a week.

Cruising through several mocks and starting to see more than a few that have the Bama S Collins sliding to and past Denver. The vast majority of the mocks have us taking some sort of OL help in RT's. A few have an OLB or NT/UT.
Question I have is if that particular safety is there, would you take him? Worry about the productivity of Bama players as pros? Or is the OL need that great that regardless of "that" guy that falls during the first we stay true and draft for need over BPA?

aweeeee Lets all say hello to the less fortunate we know How hard it is to have to pull for a average team that had a weak schedule and the following season have to play a tough schedule and get beat up on. we saw it happen to the Raiders that SB year and they have never been back to the playoffs . Then we witnessed the chiefs 2 seasons ago then last season they couldn't find the endzone with their wide receivers. Hope that doesn't happen to you but The Cowboys !!!!!!

Yi I think the Broncos are good with Stewart. He will be the starter. They went out and got a safety in Free Agency gave him 3 years? or 2 years, not sure but they are paying him 1 million this season. I'm still hoping for the team to draft a MLB at 28th. Hope your Mother is doing well

Ha ha. Well, that would most likely be in response to Dred's April Fools joke. Have you met Dred yet Hop? He's a good guy. He can take as well as dish it out.
Hope everyone had a great Easter. I've been so damn busy. Haven't had much time to post here. Mainly busy recruiting to get folks here. Catch you all later.
