Massive improvement from last season let’s hope this season is a success for our broncos

[@WrappedUPMMA]

Actual improvements and proof that the HC matters

[@sgtfoursix]

A draft doesn't prove anything. 8-9 losing season is proof that Denver makes bad decisions.

[@coolbilly3605]

@@sgtfoursixthe first year with Sean Payton was the closest we ever got to the playoffs past 2015. I have my doubts and I’m not gonna get my hopes up but I trust him. This also seems like one of the better drafts that we have done.

[@jaxsontuttle4932]

As die hard Oregon fan I cannot believe not only Bo but Troy Franklin landed to you guys! Troy is a major steal in this draft it boggles my mind that he fell that low! Denver is gonna love these guys they’re gonna be a problem!

Everyone has us in the playoffs and SB this coming year. Sounds a lot like last year. But seeing that the Broncos got everyone they were looking for, it is a can't miss season. Payton got the QB he wanted even though 11 other teams didn't want this guy.

'BO'lieve it! My broncos are a much better team than last year 😤

[@kingl77lking64]

It was a good draft especially considering we didn't have a 2nd round pick. We will have a better cap situation next year and after that year, it will be all good. We have a quarterback on the cheap, so the russell situation wont sting as bad. Im looking to be competitive in 2 years if we stay on track.

[@jasonsartucci4653]

Yeah baby! Let's go!

[@daveallen9950]

Understanding your players is so important. BOs early career he ran a lot and was not patient in the pocket. After his injury he became more comfortable in the pocket and has a great process of scanning his options. Matching him with his favorite receiver is going to pay off big time

[@JuanEsparza-hb8cz]

Bo Nix is our Fix!!! Let's Go Broncos let's Go!!! So very excited for what's to come can't wait. DB4L

A+ Draft. I was ready to be underwhelmed. But each pick was on target. Nix was Sean's QB and I'm stoked that he got him. This was absolutely amazing!

[@danielufcgsp11]

Bring back the player interviews and calls 📞

[@MrPalaad]

You drafted from Utah Utes and Notre Dame. You are improved.

[@Codyfash0]

As much as other fans hate George, I honestly believe he’s an amazing GM. The Russ trade was put together by Joe Ellis and the previous regime, Paton got pressured to give Russ the contract and last years draft picks were pushed by Payton. This year, everyone’s collaborating and working together.

[@CGL3663]

I agree and I'll go one step further, sean, and george make a great team and seem to balance each other out

[@joshuaalvey]

Just curious how did the ducks and avalanche logo come about

[@InbredDinnerWolves]

2 descent drafts in a row, a 3 win difference in a single year...(5-12 to 8-9).....getting rid of a few bad seeds on the team.....other than the wilson contract, Ive seen nothing but improvement.....having to sacrifice some of our good talent for cap space reasons sucked....... but rebuild going well so far IMO......

[@mikes_in_paradise78]

I think the draft went well...players that we wanted are great. We just gotta work hard and stay consistent.

Franklin straight up had as good/better numbers last year as Marvin Harrison Jr. how he fell that far down is ridiculous. Broncos got lucky with this pick

[@comac8638]

@@thatsovietspy1974 I've given them props when I agreed with decisions, but there's plenty I don't agree with as well. Like running down a player, showing no interest, putting it out publicly that you have no interest in them and then signing them as best available and acting like you didn't slag them. They do a lot of pure bozo stuff now, Kareem Jackson was right I was here before Payton and Paton came to run it sideways, I'll still be here when they're gone. There will always be mediocre results from a duo that self-absorbed that believe their own hype. But hey, at least Payton will draw an inflated paycheck, create jobs for all of his washed out friends...and then piss off in a year or two of going nowhere. I doubt they do anything this season but make excuses

[@sgtfoursix]

"Um, um, um, um, um, um, um, ..." Lack of confidence. How one speaks and use of body language says a lot about their behavior. Payton displays lots of doubt. Broncos will continue to struggle. Just wait to see. The offensive line is weak, and Bo will be getting rushed and sacked like Wilson and the other QB's. The QB position won't be helped until Denver fixes the coaching, head office, offensive line, and eliminates prevent defenses. Truth sucks, but I'm also an Oregon and Denver fan since the 80's. Wilson will also do better in Pittsburgh. Time will tell.
