Transcript
- 0:01[SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to building the Broncos with Nick Kendall and Carl Dumbler.
- 0:06[SPEAKER_00]: Broncos' countries leading trapping, scouting analysts.
- 0:11[SPEAKER_00]: Hit on over to milehighhuddle.com to sound off on all things Broncos.
- 0:18[SPEAKER_04]: Welcome, and welcome in it, it is Tuesday, we need three, 17, 6, 0, 4, mount on mine.
- 0:25[SPEAKER_04]: Mick Kendall, this is, I'm always joined by Tuesday evenings with Carl Dumbler.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_04]: This is building the Broncos Carl.
- 0:31[SPEAKER_04]: How you doing?
- 0:31[SPEAKER_04]: The story isn't even the beard today.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_04]: Even though it should be, how you doing, bud?
- 0:37[SPEAKER_03]: Man, I, I'm just so happy.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I had a couple of people called today after the the trade had been made and how's your day going like I am great.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_03]: One of my favorite receivers that I have ever watched for the draft just became a dimmer brago.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_03]: And I've wanted water.
- 0:56[SPEAKER_03]: We wanted to last year, you know, during the trade deadline.
- 0:59[SPEAKER_03]: We were all pushing for it.
- 1:00[SPEAKER_03]: Come on, Brock was make that trade.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_03]: First, we have picked nothing and we didn't even know we'd have picked 30 at that time.
- 1:07[SPEAKER_03]: So the fact that now it's picked 30 that we're giving up and I mean a little bit more don't they'll be wrong.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to under sell that part of it, but man, it just feels so good.
- 1:16[SPEAKER_03]: Broncos made that move that you could really see being the difference between losing in the playoffs and winning the Super Bowl.
- 1:25[SPEAKER_04]: Jill and water traded for from the Miami Dolphins as you hinted at something that many of us were advocating for last season.
- 1:33[SPEAKER_04]: I had a good time going through my Twitter searching up, you know, Nick Kendall MHH and water.
- 1:37[SPEAKER_04]: And finding the tweet where it's all these people tell you you're stupid for wanting to give up first round pick for him.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know, I think he's a top 15 wide receiver and a playmaker in his contract is well, get into all of the contract is so palatable and he's only 27 years old.
- 1:52[SPEAKER_04]: So a lot of positives for him and I'm pretty excited too now.
- 1:57[SPEAKER_04]: Will I be sitting there?
- 1:59[SPEAKER_04]: I posted a gift today.
- 2:00[SPEAKER_04]: I'm speaking on Twitter of the New Year's Eve scene with Captain Dan in Forest Gump or the Confetti's Fall
- 2:09[SPEAKER_04]: That might be me during day one and day two of the draft with only having one draft pick in the top 100 for now.
- 2:15[SPEAKER_04]: Just because, you know, we love the draft so much, but at the end of the day, the draft is a means to acquiring good players and building a contender.
- 2:22[SPEAKER_04]: And you're gonna find it hard press for anyone to say Denver is not closer to contention today adding jail and water to this offense.
- 2:31[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, especially compared to what you would have gotten a pick 30.
- 2:34[SPEAKER_03]: I mean,
- 2:37[SPEAKER_03]: I had a lot of people ask me, well, what direction are the Broncos going to go at pick 30?
- 2:40[SPEAKER_03]: And I said, I don't know.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_03]: They can go a lot of different directions, but it's probably not for a starter.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_03]: There's a couple positions you can look at and say, well, maybe that guy could be the starter, but there wasn't going to be a tie-day in the city was not making it to pick 30.
- 2:55[SPEAKER_03]: So you're not finding a starting tie-dend.
- 2:58[SPEAKER_03]: Running back, and that don't work going to be better than Dobbin's day one.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I still hope they pick a running back at some point just to add to the depth and give us a little bit more assurance if Dobbins does go down.
- 3:10[SPEAKER_03]: But why receiver?
- 3:14[SPEAKER_03]: Most of them that you're looking at, I'm not sure that you would ever say that they're better than Franklin Mims or Bryant, you're one.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe down the road, they could be better, but I'm not saying that day one, they're gonna be the true number two wide receiver on this team.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_03]: Like we know, I mean, really, you should say jail of models are number one.
- 3:32[SPEAKER_03]: But, so you're right, pick 30, you could get a player, you know could be a great development for the future.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_03]: But we needed a great development at wide receiver for the future.
- 3:43[SPEAKER_03]: And we got somebody that can help in the now as well.
- 3:46[SPEAKER_03]: And as you said, the contract is very, very manageable.
- 3:51[SPEAKER_03]: And just...
- 3:53[SPEAKER_03]: Plus, you've got a great locker room guy.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_03]: I'm telling you, this is one of the true good guys of the NFL, and we got Papa Bear coming with a $2 saying, good evening, Broncos country.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome, Jay Waddle.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, welcome indeed.
- 4:07[SPEAKER_04]: And also, real quick, happy, belated birthday.
- 4:11[SPEAKER_04]: Papa Bear, that's what I think.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_04]: The 14th, if I'm not mistaken.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_04]: So I wanted to give you that shout out.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_04]: I was hoping you're going to be here tonight.
- 4:18[SPEAKER_04]: I wanted to say happy birthday to you from the entire MHH family.
- 4:22[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, thank you.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_03]: And then appreciate the support every single time and just, and yeah, happy birthday to you.
- 4:29[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks for joining us, and I'm glad you're happy about the J-Waddle Move as I am.
- 4:34[SPEAKER_03]: And as I said earlier, I've loved this guy for a long time, I was telling Chad before the show.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_03]: I remember his freshman year at Alabama.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_03]: that that was during the the save in years where pretty much every player on that roster is a five star four star recruit.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_03]: They were and water was too.
- 4:51[SPEAKER_04]: They were for deep at first round wide receiver.
- 4:54[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but water actually was on the field being an impact player his freshman year of college at Alabama.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_03]: And and he he looked like he belonged as a freshman in college.
- 5:05[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there's there's a few wide receivers that you can look at and and say that that fits what they are, I mean, there's a couple in college right now that you said, oh, yeah, since freshman year we've known this guy's going to be a yeah, that's who I'm thinking he's going to be a top five pick probably next year.
- 5:21[SPEAKER_03]: And I felt that way about water.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_03]: Now, I did think he had to go to the right system because he kind of has not the.
- 5:32[SPEAKER_03]: He's not that six foot to 210 pound X-receiver kind of guy.
- 5:39[SPEAKER_03]: But for a guy that you can move around and get matchups and dictate how a defense is gonna have to try to play you, he's that kind of guy for you.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_03]: He's a home run hitter.
- 5:52[SPEAKER_04]: He's not a bad route runner at all.
- 5:54[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I do wonder if he's somebody who you can get 100 targets in a year.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if that's ideal for him and his body type, because he's not necessarily the thickest player for his size, but he could play in theory, X.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_04]: He's pretty good at being impressed.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_04]: He can do the underneath stuff.
- 6:12[SPEAKER_04]: And also, with the underneath stuff, he brings yards after catchability, which this team has been.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_04]: lacking.
- 6:18[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I think we've hit on this set a few times, but you know me, I'm a big nerd.
- 6:23[SPEAKER_04]: And I like the over expectation stats just because it quantifies like I always say your numerators, only ever is good as your denominator.
- 6:30[SPEAKER_04]: Again, big time nerd here.
- 6:32[SPEAKER_04]: But devra with how many short passes they had this season.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_04]: They were horrible at the Yards effort kitsch catch.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's pretty much Harvey and Endless and Wattles an awesome
- 6:43[SPEAKER_04]: yards after catch player.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_04]: He's also a good vertical player.
- 6:45[SPEAKER_04]: So he pairs really well with Sutton.
- 6:47[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think he totally eats into what MIMS does.
- 6:50[SPEAKER_04]: Definitely doesn't eat into Bryant in my opinion.
- 6:53[SPEAKER_04]: Well, see what happens with Troy Franklin.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_04]: I think that you kind of supercharged Troy Franklin.
- 6:56[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm not saying you have to move on from Troy Franklin.
- 6:58[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you're 11 personnel could be Franklin, water, and Sutton.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_04]: That's fine.
- 7:02[SPEAKER_04]: I got no issue with that, but the room is crowded.
- 7:06[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll get into that.
- 7:07[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, water is great.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_04]: Really big advocate for
- 7:13[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe not following the economics of the position of wide receiver, but it's the third highest paid position in football now.
- 7:21[SPEAKER_04]: And teams, there's good two wide receiver, two wide receiver, four types in the draft every year, but somebody who's like a top 15 wide receiver.
- 7:33[SPEAKER_04]: That's hard to come by now.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_04]: What'd it be great if we had, you know, Julio Jones reincarnate here or Calvin to get.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_04]: That's not what we're getting with water, but as far as Z, as far as a slot, somebody who is going to decompress defenses, help the run game with that and, I mean, I don't know how many times they've to say it on here, Carl, the name of the game in football today, it's two things.
- 7:55[SPEAKER_04]: It's avoiding, well, it's turned over differential, so taking the ball away, and also avoiding turnovers and creating explosive plays.
- 8:01[SPEAKER_04]: Waddle is going to help you so much in your ability to create explosive plays.
- 8:05[SPEAKER_04]: And you're pretty good last season with shot plays to a certain extent, but very excited to see what his sort of dynamism can bring to the offense as far as just easy buttons that can turn to it turn to explosives.
- 8:19[SPEAKER_03]: I remember earlier this off season before free to see kicked off and everybody was talking about the running back position.
- 8:24[SPEAKER_03]: You were talking about the best way to improve the run game.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_03]: is to improve the receiving game.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_03]: Just to get somebody, yeah, somebody that teams have to respect that they're gonna have to go lighter boxes, they're gonna have to shade possibly over here.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_03]: And Sutton has to be one of the happier people about this too, where he's going, they can't just say, let's shut down Sutton and make any other wide receiver on this team beat us.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_03]: That's not the case anymore.
- 8:53[SPEAKER_03]: And so it really does, it opens up everything for everybody else.
- 8:57[SPEAKER_03]: including the run game, you know, Evan Ingram, maybe this opens up a few routes for him, that weren't there before.
- 9:04[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe we actually get something out of the tide in position now because of Jalen Waddle being out there.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_03]: And I think the other big thing I love about his game is he doesn't need a ton of targets to be an impactful player on the field.
- 9:18[SPEAKER_03]: I remember back in what year was it 2020, and we were talking about wider severs a lot,
- 9:26[SPEAKER_03]: And because that was the CD-Land Jerry Judy Henry Ruggs and you, yeah, Justin Jefferson, I remember you and I talking about Henry Ruggs that his impact didn't always have to rely on him having the ball in his hands.
- 9:43[SPEAKER_03]: Because of his speed, teams have a respect that he could win over the top.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_03]: And it's the same thing with Jailum Rugg bottle.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't have to have
- 9:54[SPEAKER_03]: He can get three catches, but he can have a hundred yards in a game because he just can be that explosive where all it takes is one catch to turn into something big so so many things to like about this and something else to like underdog everyone the tournament is back the upsets are inevitable.

- 11:34[SPEAKER_04]: We got two super chats here from Jettie Splash as Beast Mode Titan, Wicked, and then quickly quickly corrects himself to Widersever.
- 11:40[SPEAKER_04]: He's a beast.
- 11:41[SPEAKER_04]: He's very good.
- 11:42[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know a lot of people want to, you know, the no doubt, you know, all pro guy and Waddle hasn't been that to date, but he's averaging a thousand yards a season and again you mentioned it doesn't necessarily have to be a volume target for an offense that likes to spread the ball around.
- 11:55[SPEAKER_04]: number one in the league in the last two years and pass attempts.
- 11:59[SPEAKER_04]: So he's going to have his opportunities and he's a great fit for what they have this season.
- 12:05[SPEAKER_04]: This is a going relatively all and this is going all in on 2026 without really mortgaging the future too much.
- 12:12[SPEAKER_04]: 30 overall I mean, what have been nice to draft to offensive tackle the future there, a cost-controlled wide receiver, one of those safety's sure.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_04]: But we talked about it.
- 12:21[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, this team,
- 12:23[SPEAKER_04]: even as much as they can continuously say they loved their wide receivers.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_04]: We were here in behind the scenes about how close and interested they were in Waddle, all the information about digs, getting sniped with Igbooga and then this off-season as well.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_04]: We love our wide receivers.
- 12:39[SPEAKER_04]: You can love them but still the actions are saying that you want somebody a little bit more.
- 12:44[SPEAKER_04]: sure thing and upgrade the room and add talent and Denver certainly did that today.
- 12:49[SPEAKER_04]: David Young can come in in $20 super chat in 1999.
- 12:52[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_04]: He says, okay, guys, great trade.
- 12:54[SPEAKER_04]: It would have cost more for AJ.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_04]: Who's offense do we see Sean or web?
- 12:58[SPEAKER_04]: This is still Sean Payton's offense.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_04]: Web is going to be calling the plays, but he's spent the last three seasons.
- 13:03[SPEAKER_04]: underneath, Sean Payton, everybody wants the Sean Payton offense right now too.
- 13:09[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you've seen they've kind of picked up set on here.
- 13:11[SPEAKER_04]: They've picked the Sean, they call Shanahan Tree pretty much dry to a certain extent and some stuff that's going on in the league is kind of counteracting that and I've granted.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_04]: Can you really copy-paste Mike McDermott's defense?
- 13:24[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you just need to be eight deep with the best defensive line football and the best tackling back seven good book.
- 13:29[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's scheme of fix that.
- 13:32[SPEAKER_04]: But everybody kind of wants to Sean Payton stuff.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to imagine it's going to be Sean's offense, still, but web is going to have more control and so it's bonus to that matter as well.
- 13:42[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be a little bit more of a
- 13:44[SPEAKER_04]: Simba Haddock makes it sound.
- 13:46[SPEAKER_04]: It was not good before, but just there's going to be a little bit more think feedback on conversation between those two and what's being installed.
- 13:52[SPEAKER_04]: But this is still Sean Payton's team.
- 13:54[SPEAKER_04]: Sean Payton's offense.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_03]: Don't forget, when Webb did call the plays for a game, I know it's preseason.
- 14:01[SPEAKER_03]: Don't get me wrong.
- 14:03[SPEAKER_03]: But the offense threw for 450 yards.
- 14:06[SPEAKER_03]: So it's not like they're going to all sit and turn into a run heavy team.
- 14:11[SPEAKER_03]: it's still going to be a pretty past heavy team.
- 14:14[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe not to the degree that it was under Sean Payton, whereas sometimes he had to write on his own play card, like run the dang ball because he'd kind of forget that he could run the ball.
- 14:25[SPEAKER_03]: But I still think you're going to see this team be pretty heavily into the past game, especially this kind of trade.
- 14:33[SPEAKER_03]: You don't get water just to then go run the ball.
- 14:37[SPEAKER_03]: You know, 51, 55% of the time.
- 14:39[SPEAKER_03]: You brought them into be a playmaker to go catch the ball, go score touchdowns, make the big plays.
- 14:45[SPEAKER_03]: So you're still going to lean into the past game.
- 14:47[SPEAKER_03]: And know that that's the strength of your offense right now.
- 14:51[SPEAKER_03]: You've got a good pass blocking off in supply.
- 14:54[SPEAKER_03]: Now you've got a set in and water, the running backs, both dobbins and Harvey are really good receiving options at the back field.
- 15:02[SPEAKER_03]: And we've talked about it for Franklin as a number three-wide receiver.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_03]: You really like that.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's got to be up there as a top eight number three-wide receiver in the NFL right now.
- 15:15[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'd have to go through the numbers way too, but but I would think that he's he's got to be up there.
- 15:21[SPEAKER_03]: And then you're talking about Bryant as well.
- 15:23[SPEAKER_03]: And the things that he can do on offense and how you can use him.
- 15:25[SPEAKER_03]: Mims the specialty plays that you can still run with him if you need them to and see you've got a lot of options.
- 15:32[SPEAKER_03]: You got a lot of versatility in the wide receiver core.
- 15:35[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it's a couple big guys who are strong can go up and make the tough catch and Sutton and Bryant.
- 15:40[SPEAKER_03]: You've got the the speed guys that can win over the top and Mims and and Water and then you got Franklin who can kind of he does a little bit of everything.
- 15:49[SPEAKER_03]: He's not great at any one thing But he can do a lot of little things
- 15:54[SPEAKER_03]: And then, like I said, he can, he can, he can win short, he can win long, he can win and then intermediate.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_03]: So there's just so many more areas of the field now that you can attack and make defenses have to really prepare for.
- 16:06[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, yeah, I'm stoked to see what he is going to do this upcoming season for Denver and what it means for the room.
- 16:14[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, what an AJ Brown cost more.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
- 16:17[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to see it sounds like Denver was never really as in on AJ Brown as Jalen Waterle, Jalen Waterle, somebody they've been interested in for a bit.
- 16:27[SPEAKER_04]: So they circle back around even with a regime change there in Miami.
- 16:31[SPEAKER_04]: Carl, they knocked on that door again, and it sounded like from information that's coming out now, Denver had really targeted in on him after the combine with
- 16:42[SPEAKER_04]: not necessarily a deal in place, but a lot of headway made on that one.
- 16:46[SPEAKER_04]: So, glad to be patient, not overreacted too much to the free agency period, but also not going overreact too much to this.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's obviously a risk.
- 16:54[SPEAKER_04]: Still at the end of the day, giving up cost-controlled assets for this team, considering they're already one of the oldest rosers in football.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_04]: I think top three, top four.
- 17:02[SPEAKER_04]: But
- 17:03[SPEAKER_04]: Again, you're trying to take advantage of the window that you're in, Patrick at home's injury, the AFC West is open, but on the next fricking contract.
- 17:10[SPEAKER_04]: And the coaching staff, being back another season that you could be trying to replace two coordinators.
- 17:16[SPEAKER_04]: Next year, very possible.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll see, but yeah, thank you David, 1999.
- 17:20[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much.
- 17:21[SPEAKER_04]: Miles Smith, crushing it, says, what a day I love this trade, but it's a serious middle of the field target with burners.
- 17:26[SPEAKER_04]: Hope everyone here is good to night, happy St. Patrick's Day.
- 17:28[SPEAKER_04]: I happy St. Patrick's Day.
- 17:30[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not wearing eye-fegg green socks.
- 17:34[SPEAKER_04]: the table though to show those, unless somebody gives a really good super chat.
- 17:37[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, thank you so much.
- 17:38[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, great day.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_04]: Excited.
- 17:41[SPEAKER_04]: For sure.
- 17:43[SPEAKER_04]: Kind of just itching all day to talk through guys talk with Phil good morning good evening Phil.
- 17:48[SPEAKER_04]: I says Nick Carl and Deacon Scott.
- 17:50[SPEAKER_04]: We got Chad working the background today I do think we still make a move before during the draft.
- 17:55[SPEAKER_04]: That was not kind of be done yet This I believe Carl you can crack me if I'm wrong here chat and crack me if I'm wrong Why don't we count 4.5 against the cap this season million?
- 18:04[SPEAKER_04]: This is one of the benefits of trading for veterans not gonna Brookie contracts are still better if you can hit on them, but
- 18:12[SPEAKER_04]: Signing bonus is dead money.
- 18:14[SPEAKER_04]: That's six with the dolphins.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_04]: So it is going to balloon a bit.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_04]: These next come in season.
- 18:18[SPEAKER_04]: Like you're going to get up to 30 million.
- 18:20[SPEAKER_04]: But again, he's only 27.
- 18:21[SPEAKER_04]: I'll be 28 when the year starts.
- 18:23[SPEAKER_04]: He's still got four years of good play from him.
- 18:27[SPEAKER_04]: I would think two and a half to five.
- 18:30[SPEAKER_04]: I think probably the range you're talking about there.
- 18:33[SPEAKER_04]: And with this play set, sometimes the guys who are
- 18:36[SPEAKER_04]: speed players, they can dig, they can regress a bit, but he's a pretty good route runner too.
- 18:40[SPEAKER_04]: So I like it.
- 18:42[SPEAKER_04]: And do I expect there to be more moves leading up to slash during the draft?
- 18:47[SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_04]: This team has a lot of day three picks.
- 18:50[SPEAKER_04]: You might see a wide receiver traded from the room.
- 18:53[SPEAKER_04]: Kind of like we saw.
- 18:53[SPEAKER_04]: We love VLA.
- 18:55[SPEAKER_04]: Somebody offered a fourth round pick.
- 18:56[SPEAKER_04]: Room is crowded.
- 18:57[SPEAKER_04]: Room is kind of crowded again, so we'll see if we're looking at cornerbacks, maybe traded, maybe Joan and Ellis on the block.
- 19:03[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, this is not that I've heard anything about Ellis, but you know, those are ones I just like, look at the spot.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_04]: Somebody offered something where you get good ROI and can give you a pick.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_04]: It's not necessarily for a player to it's you get a pick.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_04]: Then you can use that pick or a different pick to go bring in a different player.
- 19:17[SPEAKER_04]: So again, a lot of moves could still be made.
- 19:22[SPEAKER_04]: He says who would you compare water to as a former or current Bronco.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
- 19:26[SPEAKER_04]: I don't believe you this one call.
- 19:28[SPEAKER_04]: I had a name.
- 19:30[SPEAKER_04]: But I really think that you probably have never had a player who is this body type
- 19:39[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, DT had a lot of that yards after catch ability, but he, he don't have the chance.
- 19:47[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so, I mean, a manual Sanders, just the way he gets in and out of routes, but I'd say Wattles got a little bit more athletic ability.
- 19:58[SPEAKER_03]: He's a little bit quicker, a little bit more yards after catch ability.
- 20:05[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's tough to really find that one player that I look at and say yep that's exactly who I'd compare him to.
- 20:13[SPEAKER_04]: I'd probably say Emanuel Sanders, but better.
- 20:16[SPEAKER_04]: And the name I was going to say just to the accountability, but there's nobody who I think is exactly comparable because he's better.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_04]: Um, and granted my knowledge for the Broncos goes back to like 1998.
- 20:26[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe some
- 20:28[SPEAKER_04]: more senior experienced individual might have some, but I thought when you are at, many Los Angeles came to mind immediately, but then also any royal.
- 20:37[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I think he's probably got a little bit more verticality to his game, but you know, a smaller Z or slot, but still strong player.
- 20:45[SPEAKER_04]: I can do a lot of stuff after the catch on any royal was a really good his first few years in Denver.
- 20:51[SPEAKER_04]: So again, I don't think there's a perfect comparison, but I thought
- 20:57[SPEAKER_03]: He's what I was hoping Marvin Mims would be.
- 21:01[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think they have comparable athleticism, comparable ability to win over the top.
- 21:07[SPEAKER_03]: Marvin Mims can do things.
- 21:09[SPEAKER_03]: with the ball in his hands.
- 21:10[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's why you're trying to get them, and they haven't that running back at times, they'll run the wheel right out of the back field.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_03]: They'll do design plays to him because they're just trying to get the ball in his hands.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_03]: Waddle can do that, but he does it at a consistent level.
- 21:24[SPEAKER_03]: And then he can do the regular things that you expect from your offense, where he doesn't have to get designated touches to make it work.
- 21:33[SPEAKER_03]: You know, it doesn't have to be a play design just to go to him.
- 21:39[SPEAKER_03]: on any given play and make the play for it.
- 21:42[SPEAKER_03]: So like I said, I think he's what we hope to MIM's would be for the offense.
- 21:47[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, that's a good thing.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_03]: And MIMs, he can still go out there and make you play.
- 21:51[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, like I said, it just moves everybody else down one level and now they're going against a lesser defensive player possibly or they're taken.
- 22:00[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, sometimes you can just move water around and get him a nicer matchup.
- 22:04[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe Franklin's planned against the number one corner back.
- 22:07[SPEAKER_03]: And now you got Sutton and Waddle feeling it's the number two and number three guy going, oh crap, what do I do?
- 22:13[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's just so much more you can do with this, where teams before, like I said, it was shut down Sutton.
- 22:21[SPEAKER_03]: Just make sure that he doesn't go out there in Bicha.
- 22:24[SPEAKER_03]: And as we're going to shade guys this way, we're going to make boat nicks have to look anywhere else.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, the Broncos made it work.
- 22:33[SPEAKER_03]: It just was kind of clunky is the way I describe our offense last year.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_03]: You know, at times it did kind of kick into gear and boom, here we go.
- 22:40[SPEAKER_03]: And then next thing you know, it's completely stalled.
- 22:43[SPEAKER_03]: This is going to make our offense a lot more efficient on a drive or drive basis.
- 22:50[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I mean,
- 22:52[SPEAKER_04]: Man, I'm excited for it.
- 22:53[SPEAKER_04]: It should be for you video game players out there.
- 22:55[SPEAKER_04]: Really fun.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_04]: And it should just bring again some dynamism on an explosive nest to the offense that this team has had to an extent.
- 23:03[SPEAKER_04]: But I feel like it's been more so because Sean Payton's ability with some of his shop plays, you're able to get three to five of those a game.
- 23:10[SPEAKER_04]: And now you had somebody who, I think, Waddle can just do that because of the talent.
- 23:15[SPEAKER_04]: He possesses to create that separation or just make something happen with his speed.
- 23:21[SPEAKER_04]: a few more super chats here.
- 23:22[SPEAKER_04]: We got cyber, copper, I just want to show some low guys what we think.
- 23:25[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much, cyber.
- 23:26[SPEAKER_04]: Appreciate you.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_04]: I can't wait for the season to start.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_04]: And after losing hope all week, we told John here.
- 23:32[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, again, what's not exciting.
- 23:34[SPEAKER_04]: It was kind of unprecedented, definitely bizarre, but also like when you take the name is off of it and look at the contracts and the players other than when I'm putting in trout minutes like, okay, it makes sense.
- 23:44[SPEAKER_04]: It's just,
- 23:45[SPEAKER_04]: bizarre at the same time for the window, but, you know, this is a, this definitely makes some people excited.
- 23:51[SPEAKER_04]: It's the dumb and dumb, or this one, I thought you couldn't get any stupor or dumb or whatever you said.
- 23:54[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, you probably don't recommend it.
- 23:56[SPEAKER_04]: Totally to be here, so.
- 23:57[SPEAKER_04]: Yep, exactly.
- 23:58[SPEAKER_04]: Phil, also who'd you compare?
- 23:59[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, we got that one.
- 24:00[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, Phil, so much.
- 24:01[SPEAKER_04]: Appreciate you coming in and hanging out with us in the Broncos, you know, because they got draft picks, because they got money.
- 24:08[SPEAKER_04]: They were able to go out and make some things happen
- 24:16[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm talking about market guys.
- 24:18[SPEAKER_03]: We want to tell you guys about Shopify.
- 24:21[SPEAKER_03]: When we first started the MHH Merch Store back in 2019, like these great hats, we weren't sure whether it was the right decision.
- 24:28[SPEAKER_03]: Of course, everyone has thoughts like, what if no one buys anything, or what if it fails?
- 24:33[SPEAKER_03]: It's never easy to overcome such uncertainty, but choosing to make the leap and launch the Merch Store was one of the best decisions MHH has made.
- 24:41[SPEAKER_03]: When we were launching the MHH Merch Store, Shopify helped ease so many of those concerns with this expertise, helpful tools and easy to use platform.
- 24:49[SPEAKER_03]: We couldn't have succeeded without Shopify or your support.
- 24:52[SPEAKER_04]: That's right, Shopify is a commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world, and 10% of all e-commerce in the United States.

- 25:46[SPEAKER_04]: Heck yeah, Heck yeah.
- 25:48[SPEAKER_04]: We got George Fox coming in here.
- 25:50[SPEAKER_04]: Do you guys think MIMS was not giving a chance, but I think he may be a trade prospect and we're Broncos for life hit the thumbs up.
- 25:57[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you never know this time of year.
- 25:58[SPEAKER_04]: My thought was, I would imagine, I think Bryant is the safest with a contract.
- 26:05[SPEAKER_04]: It's harder for Sutton, but
- 26:08[SPEAKER_04]: You never know, but he matches really well with the model.
- 26:12[SPEAKER_04]: Mims is hard because you can save six million by moving on from him.
- 26:16[SPEAKER_04]: And on offense, he does offer some of the same things, but he's so valuable special teams.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_04]: Why is in the top coming out of the combine this year?
- 26:23[SPEAKER_04]: Boots on the ground was that team was looking to get a contract done to resign Mims.
- 26:29[SPEAKER_04]: So he's probably not the happiest about the trade with the contract looming here,
- 26:35[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they still get it done, but yeah, MIMS could be traded right now.
- 26:38[SPEAKER_04]: I know we tried to do it last off season two and he's like a, he's a good player.
- 26:42[SPEAKER_04]: I don't get me wrong, but like Franklin right now, just for the skill set, the two years of control still doesn't offer the special team's value.
- 26:50[SPEAKER_04]: He seems the most likely trade guy, but again, make a price that makes me compelled to trade the young, cost-controlled talent that a value position because we're not given them away.
- 27:01[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
- 27:02[SPEAKER_03]: I think, MIMS, I would really hate to hurt our special teams units.
- 27:08[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I think too many people underrate what he brings to how teams have to play us on special teams.
- 27:16[SPEAKER_03]: When he's back there, kickoffs, they're always kicking away from him because they do not want him to get the ball in a kickoff, not return.
- 27:23[SPEAKER_03]: They're kicking out of bounds.
- 27:24[SPEAKER_03]: So it's maybe five to ten yards shorter because they're just making sure that he doesn't get the opportunity
- 27:31[SPEAKER_03]: And I can't overstate how important that those hidden yards are.
- 27:37[SPEAKER_03]: And so if you hurt your special teams by getting rid of him, I just, I don't think that would be your best move.
- 27:44[SPEAKER_03]: And if a team comes with a great offer, if somebody calls and says, hey, we're willing to give you our second.
- 27:52[SPEAKER_03]: If you give us one of your, if you give us your fifth round pick, yeah, I'm taking that.
- 27:58[SPEAKER_03]: I'm running with it.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_03]: But it's going to take, like you said, a lot to make me think that that's going to be a good decision.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_03]: And so at this time, I'd probably lean towards Franklin, because like I said, he doesn't offer much in special teams.
- 28:12[SPEAKER_03]: And the further he gets down on the wide receiver depth chart, the more you expect those guys to be helping on special teams.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_03]: And so he's going to have to really prove himself to stay on this roster.
- 28:24[SPEAKER_03]: And he's a good player.
- 28:26[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, 700 yard receivers don't just
- 28:31[SPEAKER_03]: He's an NFL level player.
- 28:34[SPEAKER_03]: He should be on a roster somewhere, being a playmaker.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_03]: But those reps, if you could get them going to now, Jalen Waddle, and I think they really love Pat Bryant and what he can do, I think you can live without Franklin being here.
- 28:55[SPEAKER_03]: It's not my favorite move, I'd rather just keep the room as strong as you possibly can, because injuries do happen.
- 29:00[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, probably the one little bit of worry that I have with Jalen Wattle, he does seem to have, it's not major injuries, but it's always some kind of minor injury going on.
- 29:14[SPEAKER_03]: Hamstring, quad, I think at a hip injury at one point, you know, he's just got those little nagging injuries that kind of stick around for the whole season.
- 29:23[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't miss a lot of games.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_03]: I think he's only missed six or seven games in last five years.
- 29:29[SPEAKER_03]: but that just always kind of hovers over the season for him.
- 29:33[SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, last year when we saw Marvin Mims go down, the patzing off and it's really struggled when he went down.
- 29:39[SPEAKER_03]: It was kind of struggling before he went down too, but it really kind of tanked there for about four games while he was gone.
- 29:46[SPEAKER_03]: And I mean, and that's Marvin Mims.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_03]: So if you're missing Jalen Wattle, I'd rather, like I said, keep the room as strong as you possibly can.
- 29:54[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, and for a while, the main issue has been his right foot, specifically the ankle.
- 29:59[SPEAKER_04]: He's had a petal ankle sprain and a fracture three times.
- 30:04[SPEAKER_04]: So those are the ones to watch out for, but it's been mostly spraying the rib.
- 30:08[SPEAKER_04]: Had a knee strain as well, but that ankle is the one you want to watch out for, but it hasn't been necessarily knee ligament issues so much, and it hasn't been concussions.
- 30:19[SPEAKER_04]: So you know,
- 30:21[SPEAKER_04]: He's 28 and he's not massive and playing the middle of the field also It happens sometimes, but I think that's just also football.
- 30:31[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not necessarily worried about it being in it Injury history that is going to make him depreciate a lot or make him unavailable.
- 30:38[SPEAKER_04]: I'm Tim Hall appreciates his Lacroix boys unite.
- 30:41[SPEAKER_04]: I'm typically more of an olipop guy.
- 30:43[SPEAKER_04]: I'm shout out to my friend who works for olipop But no, this is good.
- 30:47[SPEAKER_04]: I got the passion fruit one.
- 30:48[SPEAKER_04]: I think the lemon cello one is probably the best, but
- 30:51[SPEAKER_04]: You know, we're out here.
- 30:51[SPEAKER_04]: I'm on a little flavor without the calories.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_04]: What do we have?
- 30:54[SPEAKER_04]: Zero calories.
- 30:55[SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah.
- 30:56[SPEAKER_04]: I want to say a lot of some non-super chats in here as well.
- 31:00[SPEAKER_04]: All you folks coming in here, we appreciate you hanging out here.
- 31:03[SPEAKER_04]: I saw a storm blast in here, didn't have to give up any players as well.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_04]: Get a superstar wide receiver, thanking on your pick at 30.
- 31:09[SPEAKER_04]: Heard him, proven commodity for a sundown.
- 31:11[SPEAKER_04]: Always makes me think of the mystery box from one of the early seasons of family guy.
- 31:15[SPEAKER_04]: You give us into the time share pitch and now you get the prize.
- 31:21[SPEAKER_04]: mystery box could even be a boat.
- 31:22[SPEAKER_04]: You know how bad we want one of those lowest.
- 31:24[SPEAKER_04]: So I always always love that.
- 31:26[SPEAKER_04]: We got Glenn coming in and says, good morning.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_04]: Everybody go to see it down onto says I'm so happy we got her.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_04]: My first choice at wide receiver.
- 31:33[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, I love the deal too.
- 31:34[SPEAKER_04]: The equivalent of trading up five places.
- 31:36[SPEAKER_04]: So it's equivalent of pick 25.
- 31:38[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's what you're getting at there.
- 31:39[SPEAKER_04]: Now sign David and Joku.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I told you so keep being patient and trust
- 31:48[SPEAKER_04]: doesn't totally happen in a vacuum, but they all are still somewhat analyzed in isolation.
- 31:55[SPEAKER_04]: The jail and water trade doesn't make me love the chartman move, but it's a part of the overall picture of this season.
- 32:00[SPEAKER_04]: So again, it definitely changes the complexion of the offense, and I'm happy it has you guys, super jazzed up.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_04]: I'm excited to, I'm getting an explosive playmaker, again, as young as he is.
- 32:13[SPEAKER_04]: And something we haven't even talked about too, Carl.
- 32:14[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you kind of mentioned it hinted at it,
- 32:17[SPEAKER_04]: One of the reasons, like people are like, oh, that might be a little high for genuine water.
- 32:20[SPEAKER_04]: Well, first off, too, is not good.
- 32:22[SPEAKER_04]: And things were falling apart at Miami.
- 32:23[SPEAKER_04]: We can just, yeah, that would be bad.
- 32:25[SPEAKER_04]: I'm glad we can do that.
- 32:26[SPEAKER_04]: The other aspect is, this is not trading for an expiring contract.
- 32:29[SPEAKER_04]: This is a guy with three plus years still of control on granted.
- 32:33[SPEAKER_04]: There are escalators after this, of course.
- 32:36[SPEAKER_04]: But you have a lot of flexibility with the contract.
- 32:41[SPEAKER_04]: And what's 26 to 30 million down the line?
- 32:44[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that's going to put him
- 32:46[SPEAKER_04]: the 20th-highest paid-wide receiver, maybe.
- 32:49[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, with how wide receiver markets and the new TV deals coming in here, pretty soon as well.
- 32:54[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I think you're not just trading for a bottle, but you're trading for a 20 year old top 15th-wide receiver who has cost control left, which you don't typically see for guys who trade normally, it's like the last year and they're signing a new deal immediately upon being traded.
- 33:10[SPEAKER_04]: Not the case here, not the case here.
- 33:12[SPEAKER_04]: This is a economical addition as well.
- 33:16[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it really doesn't hurt yourself.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_03]: Cap-wise, a ton, compared to some other contracts that you could have been trading for.
- 33:23[SPEAKER_03]: So big time for the Broncos that way that they can really work the cap and now they can re-work a deal for it.
- 33:30[SPEAKER_03]: Where I probably won't be making that 25 million cap hit next year.
- 33:36[SPEAKER_03]: They'll probably lower that to figure out some other contracts that they might be trying to do.
- 33:46[SPEAKER_03]: Definitely not too worried about the contract part of it.
- 33:48[SPEAKER_03]: It's it's a nice piece.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_03]: He's definitely underpaid compared to the player that he is.
- 33:52[SPEAKER_03]: And like I said, you can't look at the raw stats.
- 33:54[SPEAKER_03]: I know of seems people say, oh, he was under a thousand yards last year.
- 33:57[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he had Quinn viewers thrown the football to him through for part of the season.
- 34:02[SPEAKER_03]: He had the shell of toa.
- 34:04[SPEAKER_03]: They're the ghost of toa.
- 34:06[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever you want to call it.
- 34:07[SPEAKER_03]: It was not good.
- 34:08[SPEAKER_03]: The whole organization was just in chaos last year.
- 34:12[SPEAKER_03]: It's why they're completely I mean that what do they have 150 million dollars in dead money?
- 34:19[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we don't have that here.
- 34:21[SPEAKER_03]: Because we got Shannon Mills coming in with the 99 99 super chat, woohoo.
- 34:26[SPEAKER_03]: I mean talk about that chaching the chaching sound earlier from Shopify.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you so much.
- 34:30[SPEAKER_03]: They're Shannon.
- 34:31[SPEAKER_03]: She says hey Nick and Carl.
- 34:33[SPEAKER_03]: Today was quite an interesting day at work.
- 34:35[SPEAKER_03]: Most of my co-workers here in Miami were miserable.
- 34:39[SPEAKER_03]: That's great that you're there in Miami right now when this is happening when they heard the news I couldn't stop smiling after I got over the initial shock definitely want don't want memes traded yeah I don't either I like memes I think he's a great playmaker to have on this team and Janet that kind of reminds me of I lived in Seattle back in 2012 and you know some of you remember the 2012 season kind of ended in not so great for the Broncos
- 35:09[SPEAKER_03]: And I had so many of my co-workers who were big time Seahawks fans, the Broncos played on a Saturday, and they were coming up and being like, oh, I can't believe your team lost that way.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_03]: That sucks for you.
- 35:20[SPEAKER_03]: And then the very next day, the, the Seahawks lost in the last minute, because like last 30 seconds of the game, and I was maybe the only person in Seattle smiling that day.
- 35:32[SPEAKER_03]: And I was just as nice as possible to all my customers that came through and it was just a it was a fun day for me, at least to make up for what happened the day before to the Broncos so Janet glad you're getting to have a great day smiling and yeah my brother and mom he's a big Miami Dolphins fan I have not called him yet I don't think he'll handle this well because he was a big Jalen model fan and.
- 35:56[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I, I said, I think this is just such a great addition for so many reasons, the contract.
- 36:03[SPEAKER_03]: He's a great player.
- 36:04[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to be so good in that locker room.
- 36:08[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, one of his, his old teammates there, Miami talked about it.
- 36:13[SPEAKER_03]: I think Tyre Kille was down with injury or something.
- 36:16[SPEAKER_03]: and they're asking what I'm like, how are you gonna handle being the number one wide receiver?
- 36:20[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, there's one of those times you could have said, hey, look what I did before Tyreeca, I was a good number one, I had a thousand yard season.
- 36:27[SPEAKER_03]: And he just, he didn't really kind of bring it up and after he had a really good game against the Panthers, again, the questions came, well, would you expect that to happen?
- 36:35[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, sometimes media don't, they don't ask the greatest questions, but,
- 36:42[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, to him, he handled like a professional and his teammates that I went to math words like, why didn't you just kind of like rub their face and he's like, that's not who I am.
- 36:51[SPEAKER_03]: He's just he's kind of a quiet assassin and he's a great locker room guy.
- 36:57[SPEAKER_03]: There's a story out there out a kid that was was fighting a battle of cancer.
- 37:04[SPEAKER_03]: and his favorite players, Jay the Waddle, didn't Waddle found out about it, told the kid, hey, I want to meet with you and buy it into practices and has stayed in touch with his family to kind of keep checking in, seeing how his progress is going.
- 37:17[SPEAKER_03]: And, you know, just those kind of things.
- 37:19[SPEAKER_03]: You're looking at that going, like this is a good guy.
- 37:22[SPEAKER_03]: On top of being a great football player and that's what you loved it, cheer for.
- 37:26[SPEAKER_03]: When you know this guy's gonna be great for the community and I think he's gonna love it in Denver.
- 37:31[SPEAKER_03]: I just all around, I think there's just so many things you look at other than you can maybe point to the trade and say, that's a lot to give up.
- 37:40[SPEAKER_04]: It's always a risk, but value takes value to acquire, right?
- 37:43[SPEAKER_04]: That's the market.
- 37:44[SPEAKER_04]: So maybe this does this lower the Broncos flexibility in 2029.
- 37:53[SPEAKER_04]: Possibly, very possibly, but Denver is in a window right now and they are betting on themselves and going and going in without I think being too aggressive.
- 38:06[SPEAKER_04]: Again, I'm excited about it.
- 38:08[SPEAKER_04]: Really great to see Shannon in here as well.
- 38:10[SPEAKER_04]: I appreciate you in 99.99.
- 38:12[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to talk a little louder here as I can hear my wife getting the kid ready for a bath out in the hall.
- 38:18[SPEAKER_04]: And if you hear any screaming, it's just excitement of the Broncos adding jail and water.
- 38:23[SPEAKER_04]: Of course, of course, did we get Max here?
- 38:27[SPEAKER_04]: So just should be expect boat to have the most passing yards in his career this year.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to go with yes just because you're three and Davis Web, the one thing I will say is that he's been healthy and he's been the only quarterback who I think has been played every single regular season game the last two seasons.
- 38:45[SPEAKER_04]: think, and also with that, he's played the, or every snap, maybe Carl, maybe it's every snap, as well.
- 38:53[SPEAKER_04]: I think that's the, but also he's had far in a way the most pass attempt.
- 38:57[SPEAKER_04]: So the last two years as well.
- 38:59[SPEAKER_04]: So like, the injury and hopefully being a little bit more balanced, maybe you don't see that could be have the most efficient bonus of his career.
- 39:09[SPEAKER_04]: Hell yeah, and that's what I'm not an account statistic person.
- 39:13[SPEAKER_04]: Like when somebody talks about, you know, passing your odds or receiving your odds is like, well, if they've had thrown 500 more attempts, give me the guy who's more efficient at the end of the day, better down to down.
- 39:24[SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, there's a line of the only, like, two attempts than like, what does the matter?
- 39:27[SPEAKER_04]: But like, based on a certain threshold, our percentage.
- 39:30[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I think he's definitely should be the most efficient season from him.
- 39:34[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm really excited to see what he can do.
- 39:36[SPEAKER_04]: Because I mean, this switch turned last season.
- 39:39[SPEAKER_04]: That bill's game was the best I think I ever saw him against a good opponent, granted, sample size of one, but like even since the chiefs game the week before the buy, it just felt different from Beau.
- 39:52[SPEAKER_04]: So now you've got another year injury that shouldn't really keep him away.
- 39:56[SPEAKER_04]: Another year in the same system, I'm going to call it same system new O.C.
- 39:59[SPEAKER_04]: Same system, uh, new play color, same system.
- 40:02[SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I think this should be his best year.
- 40:05[SPEAKER_04]: I'm really excited to see what it looks like.
- 40:07[SPEAKER_03]: Right, like I said, the efficiency, where you finally got a guy that's a yards after catch.
- 40:13[SPEAKER_03]: It's not every yard has to be earned.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_03]: It's no, a five yard pass could turn into a 15 20 yard play.
- 40:21[SPEAKER_03]: And since everybody else is gonna be opened up as well, maybe, maybe Sutton gets a couple more yards after catch that weren't there before, because he doesn't have as many defensive players on his side of the ball.
- 40:33[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe he gets a couple more opportunities that way.
- 40:36[SPEAKER_03]: The deep ball, the big thing for Bownex is it's, can he start faster?
- 40:43[SPEAKER_03]: Can the first eight weeks look like the last eight weeks for him?
- 40:47[SPEAKER_03]: If so, it may be this model kind of changes things and he's not doing the over throws like he was, you know, I hated a lot of people and calling him over throw bow for the first half of last season, but it was true.
- 41:01[SPEAKER_03]: He was, there was a lot of plays that were there to be had and he just missed guys.
- 41:06[SPEAKER_03]: If he hits those, we're probably talking about him in a very different light last year.
- 41:11[SPEAKER_03]: where people are really questioning, okay?
- 41:13[SPEAKER_03]: Well, this is the inconsistent inconsistency that we're kind of expecting.
- 41:18[SPEAKER_03]: And part of me is going, okay, it's still a second year.
- 41:21[SPEAKER_03]: The guy's still getting comfortable in the NFL.
- 41:23[SPEAKER_03]: And so now to see him, I hope, as you said, third year, pretty much the same system, now with some legit playmakers out there.
- 41:31[SPEAKER_03]: And a lot of these young guys, more experience.
- 41:34[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, we've got to remember Franklin, this will be third year, MIMS, fourth year, Bryant, second year, Harvey, second year.
- 41:40[SPEAKER_03]: A lot of his playmakers that he was working with last year were very raw, young players, still getting used to being in the NFL.
- 41:49[SPEAKER_03]: And so now he's got big time veteran, all those guys with all that experience of getting real playing time.
- 41:55[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I do.
- 41:56[SPEAKER_03]: I expect this offense to be much better next season.
- 42:00[SPEAKER_03]: Now, still boils down to Kim Dobb and stay healthy.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_03]: And all these other guys stay healthy.
- 42:06[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody knock on wood right now.
- 42:08[SPEAKER_03]: And because the Broncos, as you said earlier, they have put their eggs in one basket a little bit.
- 42:19[SPEAKER_03]: You have fewer darts thrown at the board now for the draft.
- 42:25[SPEAKER_03]: And the brokers have done well drafting without having first round picks.
- 42:29[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they were able to get Nick Bonito one year, Marvin Mims another year, without having a first round pick.
- 42:37[SPEAKER_03]: And so that they're still being able to find talent.
- 42:40[SPEAKER_03]: but it gets a little bit harder the further you get from the the first round pick.
- 42:44[SPEAKER_03]: I even pick 30.
- 42:45[SPEAKER_03]: I think the other big thing I like about this trade is that no 2021 picks gone.
- 42:52[SPEAKER_03]: I think we all agree.
- 42:54[SPEAKER_03]: The 2021-26 draft.
- 42:56[SPEAKER_03]: It has some good players in it.
- 42:58[SPEAKER_03]: but it's a little bit down compared to the 2024 draft when the Bronx were taken bonus.
- 43:05[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot more guys you to look at and say, yep, that's gonna be a pretty, I can feel good about calling that guy a star player in the NFL.
- 43:13[SPEAKER_03]: And that's 2027.
- 43:15[SPEAKER_03]: It's looking like it could be a pretty good draft.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think you're giving up.
- 43:20[SPEAKER_04]: You know, a picker given up, right?
- 43:21[SPEAKER_04]: It's way less risky when you're saying, oh, it's 30 overall versus the sliding lottery scale that is what next, I mean, if, like, would you, would I have been happy if they gave up the eighth overall pick for a water?
- 43:34[SPEAKER_04]: No, I would not.
- 43:36[SPEAKER_04]: First time picks are not all the same.
- 43:38[SPEAKER_04]: It would have taken,
- 43:39[SPEAKER_04]: If the Broncos had three picks worth the value of 30, it might not even be worth the eight overall pick, like an eight overall pick to get up there.
- 43:46[SPEAKER_04]: That far in the draft, man, maybe it would, but it wouldn't be top five.
- 43:50[SPEAKER_04]: So again, it's all, it's all on a sliding scale, but like 30 overall when you know what you know about this class, where the Broncos are at and their window, again, I totally get it.
- 44:01[SPEAKER_04]: Now I'm gonna be sad, the confetti falling letter and else is having a good time on day one and day two hurts me even more.
- 44:07[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, you had a pick flip.
- 44:08[SPEAKER_04]: You have an extra pick there.
- 44:10[SPEAKER_04]: Would have been really nice.
- 44:10[SPEAKER_04]: I'm happy Vance Joseph is back, but would it have been nice to have that compact in there as well, to soften that blow and have an additional day to pick to play with.
- 44:20[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, but as Greg Smith says, FM picks.
- 44:25[SPEAKER_04]: Again, the picks are only a means to winning football games.
- 44:29[SPEAKER_04]: The results of the football games matter.
- 44:31[SPEAKER_04]: The best way to do that is to draft, develop and retain.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_04]: But you don't always have a quarterback who is, I'll say known quantity at this point now, to what extent we'll see, but a known quantity in a cost-controlled window.
- 44:44[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's just, it's the cheat code, in a least, you gotta go for it.
- 44:48[SPEAKER_04]: C-chain comes in, it says, how many picks are the Broncos have after that?
- 44:51[SPEAKER_04]: So they have their second round pick that they own themselves.
- 44:53[SPEAKER_04]: They have the fourth round pick for New Orleans from the Baylay trade.
- 44:57[SPEAKER_04]: They have the fourth round pick for Miami, which they got in this move.
- 45:04[SPEAKER_04]: They have their own seventh rompick.
- 45:06[SPEAKER_04]: That's what I'm not sure about.
- 45:07[SPEAKER_04]: They have their own seventh rompick and they have two compensatory seventh rompicks as well.
- 45:12[SPEAKER_04]: Losing Dixon and Losing...
- 45:15[SPEAKER_04]: somebody else, Carl, they might even be the last two picks in the draft for those two guys.
- 45:21[SPEAKER_04]: So, not a lot of valuable picks, and it does kind of again, the mid rounds, safety, linebacker, tight end.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you're not at, you probably don't have enough picks to cast a dice roll at every single one of those spots, which,
- 45:36[SPEAKER_04]: is not going to be the best in the world, but we'll see your tape at corner back.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe one of these wide receivers is moved and that kind of changes the math for you as well.
- 45:45[SPEAKER_04]: So we'll see, but I think that's it right now.
- 45:47[SPEAKER_04]: Two four four five seven seven seven.
- 45:52[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, and that's still plenty.
- 45:55[SPEAKER_03]: The Broncos didn't have a whole lot of roster spots available.
- 45:58[SPEAKER_03]: What we talked about it before that I didn't think they'd be picking nine nine players in the draft anyway.
- 46:04[SPEAKER_03]: Now, yes, you'd rather have your first round pick because there's more value there in the kind of players that you can find at that kind of pick.
- 46:12[SPEAKER_03]: But at the same time, there's maybe, I'd say five to six real roster spots available.
- 46:20[SPEAKER_03]: And now some of the bottom end of the draft, guys, you could say yes, we can get rid of them if we find some of it's a little bit more valuable.
- 46:28[SPEAKER_03]: We're talking the Nick Loughlands,
- 46:33[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to think of who are some of the other guys that that we brought back, Nate Actions, I like Nate, but I don't think it's that hard to find an upgrade over him either.
- 46:46[SPEAKER_03]: Those kind of guys that you can you can upgrade on so it's not saying just trade all picks all the time because we don't have enough roster spots anyway, but.
- 46:56[SPEAKER_03]: I think the Broncos are still in pretty good position, even for the draft.
- 46:59[SPEAKER_03]: And those two fourth round picks, they're forced to begin of the fourth round, not the end.
- 47:05[SPEAKER_03]: You know, the reality is the Broncos move back from their third round pick about, I think I counted, it was like 15 to 17 picks, something like that.
- 47:14[SPEAKER_03]: So it's not this huge drop off when you're talking about where the Broncos are picking for their fourth round.
- 47:22[SPEAKER_03]: And so they can still find some impact players
- 47:26[SPEAKER_03]: And a second round pick is still very valuable.
- 47:29[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's going to be some positions.
- 47:31[SPEAKER_03]: The Broncos can really look at blind backer.
- 47:33[SPEAKER_03]: They're still going to be a really good, potential linebacker there.
- 47:38[SPEAKER_03]: Tide in has a couple guys.
- 47:39[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to like running back safety safety.
- 47:43[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the nice thing for the Broncos is some of the positions that they need are some of the few positions in this draft that actually have depth.
- 47:53[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, not running back unfortunately, but I mean, that's, but it's like day three.
- 47:58[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I shall take one day to there are probably three that are worth a day to pick.
- 48:02[SPEAKER_04]: I can think about the top my head.
- 48:04[SPEAKER_04]: But you never know, every team values people differently.
- 48:06[SPEAKER_04]: Jordan Lewis, he had almost thousand yards without a QB, now he has bow.
- 48:11[SPEAKER_04]: I remember there's a lot of love for two of them, but again, quarterbacks who are pretty stationary without much harm talent and physical attributes.
- 48:18[SPEAKER_04]: I'll sell on for the most part, but
- 48:22[SPEAKER_04]: to a had some good seasons there, no doubt, but it does, they just were so finesse up front, they couldn't find a way to have a change up, off of what they were with their past game.
- 48:31[SPEAKER_04]: So, yeah, not a great quarterback.
- 48:35[SPEAKER_04]: James William James comes this, his models giving me Sanders vibe, just Sutton being similar to Thomas.
- 48:40[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think, well, I think, don't come after me, I think, Wattles more physically gifted than Sanders is, but Sutton's great, to Marius Thomas.
- 48:50[SPEAKER_04]: was a tear above.
- 48:53[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, he was one of the top, I mean, he was one of the top five whiter severs in football for a three-year stretch there.
- 48:59[SPEAKER_04]: We just, Sutton's been very good though.
- 49:00[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not to sell him short, but D.T.
- 49:03[SPEAKER_04]: was different, but I hear what you're saying.
- 49:06[SPEAKER_04]: Definitely some of that for Denver and it's,
- 49:08[SPEAKER_04]: They got a better offensive line than those teams had, too.
- 49:10[SPEAKER_04]: So, man, hopefully a better defense.
- 49:12[SPEAKER_04]: Keith Brugman, if I see a wide receiver leaving, it'd be MIMS, what kind of pick we get and return for him?
- 49:16[SPEAKER_04]: You're probably talking to fourth rounder.
- 49:18[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe if fifth rounder, I think, because it's the two years of control, Franklin, you get a little bit of a bump on the return there.
- 49:26[SPEAKER_04]: The thing with moving MIMS is that you then leave a massive hole at the kick returner spot, how much is that matter with the kick return rules changing?
- 49:33[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you want to have a different body type.
- 49:35[SPEAKER_04]: There, I don't know, it's just been a one-year sample size,
- 49:38[SPEAKER_04]: enough to see how teams are reacting to what's going on there.
- 49:41[SPEAKER_04]: I would bet Franklin right now, but we'll see how it plays out for sure.
- 49:47[SPEAKER_04]: But
- 49:48[SPEAKER_04]: or nobody, make me a deal.
- 49:51[SPEAKER_04]: I'd rather keep them all and keep the young valuable talent at a position where you rotate, guys, than just give them away.
- 49:58[SPEAKER_04]: Todd says, good night.
- 49:59[SPEAKER_04]: I'm happy for the good news.
- 50:00[SPEAKER_04]: If I got our due to help Sutton, while these young guys develop, certainly helps and it helps Davis Webb, helps Sean Payton, helps Bonix.
- 50:08[SPEAKER_04]: Also, I thought we'd talk about it too much, but like, Waterland, PS2 are like,
- 50:12[SPEAKER_04]: buddies, like thickest thieves.
- 50:16[SPEAKER_04]: So I excited to see what those two do.
- 50:18[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they'll do we have to be worried about a gosh.
- 50:24[SPEAKER_04]: What's his face?
- 50:25[SPEAKER_04]: The podcast with PS2?
- 50:28[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, Terry and Arnold.
- 50:32[SPEAKER_04]: Did he get a rest in this year?
- 50:33[SPEAKER_04]: Did he get in trouble with a law?
- 50:35[SPEAKER_04]: I feel like there was something where I think he there was like a burglary and he took matters into his own hands like vigilante with a group or
- 50:41[SPEAKER_04]: You guys correct me if I'm wrong on that.
- 50:42[SPEAKER_04]: There was something weird.
- 50:43[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think.
- 50:45[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe he has a new podcast host.
- 50:48[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe let's change it to bottle and PS2.
- 50:51[SPEAKER_04]: There's probably some sort of fun name in there.
- 50:53[SPEAKER_04]: Somebody in the gym.
- 50:55[SPEAKER_04]: If I'm wrong, I'm sorry about Terry and Arnold.
- 50:56[SPEAKER_04]: Don't come after me.
- 50:57[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not defamation, something.
- 50:59[SPEAKER_04]: There was some weird thing.
- 51:00[SPEAKER_04]: I'm there, I thought.
- 51:01[SPEAKER_03]: No, it was really funny about a week ago, somebody was interviewing Jan Waddle.
- 51:06[SPEAKER_03]: He was at a fight.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_03]: And they were asking me, who in the NFL would you like to fight?
- 51:11[SPEAKER_03]: And he said, passion's for TAN.
- 51:12[SPEAKER_03]: He said, I'd like to beat the F out of that guy.
- 51:14[SPEAKER_03]: And people are like, oh, man, he really hates passion's for TAN.
- 51:19[SPEAKER_03]: And I just remember watching going, no, he, those guys are friends.
- 51:22[SPEAKER_03]: I remember the Manala Vama.
- 51:24[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they came out in the same draft, 1421.
- 51:28[SPEAKER_03]: And I think they were roommates in college even at one point.
- 51:31[SPEAKER_03]: So I knew that that wasn't the case by me.
- 51:34[SPEAKER_03]: I think he was just Joe that I ate.
- 51:35[SPEAKER_03]: They'd be fun to fight my friend.
- 51:37[SPEAKER_03]: And maybe he knew back then, bronch is a really trying to trade for me.
- 51:40[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe I'll say this is going to add a little fuel to the fire.
- 51:43[SPEAKER_03]: How this is going, and then to see the two of them.
- 51:47[SPEAKER_03]: pretty much minutes after the trade was broken on national media, the two of them were face timing and putting it on Instagram and everything else.
- 51:56[SPEAKER_03]: So it just shows that those two are a really good friends.
- 51:58[SPEAKER_03]: So Tan's going to be really happy to have his friend here.
- 52:01[SPEAKER_03]: Those are going to be some fun.
- 52:02[SPEAKER_03]: I recommend if you can get to training camp, those are going to be some fun battles between the two of them out there on the field.
- 52:10[SPEAKER_03]: And then we got Chris Bell coming in.
- 52:11[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, go ahead.
- 52:12[SPEAKER_04]: It's the type that suck our PS2 and he's good against everybody, but like he's definitely better against the big guys because he just stays with them, like they can't really even shrug him off.
- 52:21[SPEAKER_04]: He's so big and physical and technical.
- 52:24[SPEAKER_04]: Speed Twitch.
- 52:25[SPEAKER_04]: We'll harder for PS2, so that will be a fun battle.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_04]: Chris Bell.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_04]: Chris, just because we drafted Waddle, doesn't mean we're not going to draft you.
- 52:33[SPEAKER_04]: We're looking out for you round two there.
- 52:35[SPEAKER_04]: Why do you see what we'll evil everybody?
- 52:36[SPEAKER_04]: Not actually this one, but it says, Hey Nick and Carl, I know I'm late, but let's go.
- 52:40[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, really excited about it as well.
- 52:42[SPEAKER_04]: Chris Bell also says before this week, before this live ends, we need to water the guys.
- 52:49[SPEAKER_02]: Water the water dance.
- 52:50[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you got to do the water dance.
- 52:53[SPEAKER_02]: Don't he does after touch dead.
- 52:54[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- 52:56[SPEAKER_04]: I've been loving.
- 52:56[SPEAKER_04]: I think I've shared it with you and I posted it on Twitter too.
- 52:58[SPEAKER_04]: And it's done well, but the
- 53:01[SPEAKER_04]: Werner Herzog, famous German documentary narrator.
- 53:05[SPEAKER_04]: You probably know the voice of you heard it.
- 53:07[SPEAKER_04]: But he that really popular, somebody found documentary, documentary of his, from years ago, where they made it a meme, back in January with a penguin that kept running off to the mountains.
- 53:19[SPEAKER_04]: And that's that's just what I keep thinking of with the bottle coming out towards the Rocky Mountains.
- 53:25[SPEAKER_04]: So excited about that.
- 53:26[SPEAKER_04]: I'll do a bottle for a super chat for sure.
- 53:29[SPEAKER_04]: William James Baker says, think he is better option unless costly than AJR.
- 53:32[SPEAKER_04]: Higgins are Wilson.
- 53:34[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, again, you're giving up draft picks, so there is a cost still, but like, Higgins on open market would cost a lot.
- 53:43[SPEAKER_04]: AJ Brown is older and also doesn't pair as well.
- 53:45[SPEAKER_04]: Wilson would have been great.
- 53:46[SPEAKER_04]: Like I think Wilson,
- 53:48[SPEAKER_04]: There's an argument between water and Wilson, for sure, if you're talking to Garrett Wilson here.
- 53:53[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Wilson's probably a better route runner with better hands, I think you make a little bit more acrobedic catches.
- 53:58[SPEAKER_04]: He doesn't offer the
- 54:00[SPEAKER_04]: Exposiveness that water does as a receiver.
- 54:04[SPEAKER_04]: So I think I like Wilson just a little bit more.
- 54:07[SPEAKER_04]: If I'm going to be completely honest about his ring, then but it's like you're talking the same to you, really.
- 54:11[SPEAKER_04]: Like it's you're just putting hairs and who's the best one is the one that's available.
- 54:16[SPEAKER_04]: So model in this case for Denver.
- 54:18[SPEAKER_04]: So I'm happy with any of them.
- 54:20[SPEAKER_03]: And I did just want to correct one thing real quick, just because we had the information now.
- 54:25[SPEAKER_03]: He did not get arrested or charged with the crime.
- 54:28[SPEAKER_03]: his name did appear in court documents regarding a Florida kidnapping and armed robbery case.
- 54:33[SPEAKER_04]: vigilante justice on some men's that was suspected of robbing the national star.
- 54:38[SPEAKER_04]: So some weirdness, I wasn't accusing him of anything, but I knew he did not had one.
- 54:44[SPEAKER_03]: He denied involvement in it.
- 54:46[SPEAKER_03]: So but his name did appear in the court documents, but no charges or anything come in his way.
- 54:50[SPEAKER_03]: So I just wanted to make sure we got that out there to get that correct.
- 54:58[SPEAKER_03]: I think Waddle, when I'm looking at what this offense needs right now, I'm not, I take Garrett Wilson in a heartbeat too.
- 55:08[SPEAKER_03]: If they had the same trade value, I'd be just as excited for the Garrett Wilson trade as I am Jay then Waddle.
- 55:15[SPEAKER_03]: But just that deep ability in his game, I mean, he was number two, even without having a quarterback this year, he was number two in catches of 20 plus yards down the field.
- 55:28[SPEAKER_03]: on the deep past routes.
- 55:30[SPEAKER_03]: He had 21 catches the only receiver that had more than him.
- 55:35[SPEAKER_03]: Jason, maybe the best wide receiver in football.
- 55:40[SPEAKER_03]: Now, I will say Quirton Sutton was fourth on that list with 20.
- 55:45[SPEAKER_03]: So it could be fun just running those, this could turn into Madden football.
- 55:50[SPEAKER_03]: Just get Marvin Mims on the field.
- 55:52[SPEAKER_03]: Everybody run nine routes down the field.
- 55:55[SPEAKER_03]: Just go.
- 55:56[SPEAKER_03]: There's run a deep, phonics, throw it up, somebody's coming down with it, but the way the water wins those.
- 56:03[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he gets separation very, very quickly.
- 56:07[SPEAKER_03]: You get him in man coverage.
- 56:08[SPEAKER_03]: Good luck.
- 56:09[SPEAKER_03]: You're not keeping up with this guy.
- 56:11[SPEAKER_03]: And I do think he's actually pretty good in zone coverage too.
- 56:14[SPEAKER_03]: Not as good as he is against man, but in zone coverage.
- 56:17[SPEAKER_03]: He does well of knowing when to sit down.
- 56:20[SPEAKER_03]: knowing how to figure out the separation and when he should throttle down, and you and I've talked about it before.
- 56:26[SPEAKER_03]: Why do you see her?
- 56:27[SPEAKER_03]: They're guys who are really fast, but they've got one gear.
- 56:31[SPEAKER_03]: That's all they know.
- 56:32[SPEAKER_03]: Full throttle all the time.
- 56:35[SPEAKER_03]: Taylor and what it will make him special is he knows how to change gears depending on what the routes call and for where guys are at.
- 56:43[SPEAKER_03]: And so he can really take advantage of kind of slow playing a corner back then boom he's gone over the top and it's that's going to fit well with both nicks I just I'm I'm one happy camper already called my kids and said pretty much I'm buying them fill in water jerseys just because I love the guy I think he's class act and I think he's going to be.
- 57:09[SPEAKER_03]: such a superstar here in Denver this year.
- 57:11[SPEAKER_03]: I think we're going to have 2,000 yard receivers barring injury, everybody, knock on what again.
- 57:15[SPEAKER_03]: But I think we're going to have 2,000 yard receivers and as somebody said earlier, I think Bonix is really going to have his most efficient season.
- 57:23[SPEAKER_03]: I think you're going to see the interceptions go down.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_03]: I think you're going to see the yards per attempt go way up.
- 57:30[SPEAKER_03]: And just the entire offense is just going to look so much smoother because of this addition.
- 57:38[SPEAKER_04]: I'm with you, man.
- 57:39[SPEAKER_04]: I, I'm really excited about it.
- 57:42[SPEAKER_04]: And you guys are too.
- 57:43[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, wide receiver, jail and model, top 15, maybe top 10 wide receiver.
- 57:49[SPEAKER_04]: We'll see what he does with Sean Payton and this team as well.
- 57:52[SPEAKER_04]: In somebody who,
- 57:54[SPEAKER_04]: All he hasn't had the volume, the efficiency is one definitely won the top 10 wide receivers in the league.
- 58:01[SPEAKER_04]: So really excited to see what he does.
- 58:04[SPEAKER_04]: I hope people can appreciate him for what he is.
- 58:08[SPEAKER_04]: And a lot of people wanted that, like, no doubt, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, caliber receiver.
- 58:14[SPEAKER_04]: That's not what you're getting here.
- 58:15[SPEAKER_04]: But
- 58:16[SPEAKER_04]: You did have to give it up way more in order to get that guy on a water is a excellent fit for what you already have here.
- 58:25[SPEAKER_04]: So really excited to see what the offense looks like this season and just just happy for Broncos country as well.
- 58:33[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of the in frustration.
- 58:36[SPEAKER_04]: I felt this just.
- 58:38[SPEAKER_04]: leave Denver today like a black cloud just like out through people's souls and spirits.
- 58:44[SPEAKER_04]: So happy about that.
- 58:46[SPEAKER_04]: Really happy about everybody coming in today and saying hello as well.
- 58:49[SPEAKER_04]: Just a happy day for the Broncos.

- 59:36[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I know you've been a big water guy for a bit, so I'm very happy for you.
- 59:42[SPEAKER_04]: Find trade for me.
- 59:43[SPEAKER_04]: I know that there is some hand ringing about too much pick through to overall in this class.
- 59:50[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not too worried about it.
- 59:52[SPEAKER_04]: I'm gonna be a little sad during the draft itself.
- 59:55[SPEAKER_04]: You know, especially because I cover the Broncos and the Falcons.
- 59:59[SPEAKER_04]: And now I have nothing to do day one, but sit there and do whatever, but it's fine.
- 1:00:04[SPEAKER_04]: It's fine.
- 1:00:04[SPEAKER_04]: We'll see how it plays out and I'm happy to have dealing along.
- 1:00:07[SPEAKER_04]: I would have made this trade.
- 1:00:08[SPEAKER_04]: I'd have made this trade.
- 1:00:10[SPEAKER_04]: in October, Kara.
- 1:00:11[SPEAKER_04]: And I have tweets saying a sush with a lot of pushback.
- 1:00:14[SPEAKER_04]: I was a little bit, I can picture where I was when I put out that too.
- 1:00:16[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I have people mad, what else did it?
- 1:00:18[SPEAKER_04]: Am I missing something?
- 1:00:20[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think I'm missing something.
- 1:00:21[SPEAKER_04]: He's good.
- 1:00:22[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, especially pick 30 in the first round in a down draft.
- 1:00:27[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not too worried about it.
- 1:00:30[SPEAKER_03]: And no, I'm one happy camper.
- 1:00:32[SPEAKER_03]: The way I'm going to live through round one, I'm just going to watch Jalen Wattel.
- 1:00:36[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, my lights all day.
- 1:00:39[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, well, Brock was got a weapon.
- 1:00:43[SPEAKER_04]: Hope you guys are happy.
- 1:00:45[SPEAKER_04]: Should be a lot of fun.
- 1:00:45[SPEAKER_04]: Thanks, everybody.

- 1:00:56[SPEAKER_04]: And it's going to be a fun season.
- 1:00:59[SPEAKER_04]: Denver effectively right now.
- 1:01:01[SPEAKER_04]: All they've traded was JFM for
- 1:01:06[SPEAKER_04]: We'll see how it changes.
- 1:01:07[SPEAKER_04]: I'm guessing they'll still bring an adventure and injury defense while I'm in here before the off-season's over.
- 1:01:11[SPEAKER_04]: Water on this offense.
- 1:01:13[SPEAKER_04]: Big step forward.
- 1:01:14[SPEAKER_04]: Big step forward, so have a great night, everyone.
