The Broncos won’t be the only team in the AFC to make moves.
Either way, that’s a team with a lot of needs, and potentially more depending on what happens with guys like Miller and Simmons. If they trade 3 high picks for Watson, they won’t be making many significant improvements elsewhere anytime soon.
The type of teams that make sense for Watson have more draft capital and/or are ready to win their division now with him.
Based on what? The assumption is that Elway isn’t the GM anymore and the new guy has full control over personnel.
He’s never been a GM before, but we know the Vikings have been one of the better drafting teams. [Reply]
Look, I hate Denver just as much as the next Chiefs fan, but even I can objectively recognize all time greatness. Watson has a LONG ways to go before he attains that status. [Reply]

This.
If Watson is trying to escape a franchise that is being poorly run by the incompetent son/family of the recently deceased owner then it would make no sense for him to walk into the similar situation in Denver. [Reply]

The Broncos are probably a league-average situation dragged down by garbage quarterbacking.
If you put Watson on the 2020 Broncos, that team probably does go to the playoffs and pushes the Bills. I'd put them on par with the Ravens.
That means I probably take the 2020 Chiefs over them 9 times out of 10, because we are that good. But that's still a damn good team that isn't too far away from AFCCG level talent.
Von Miller, of course, is the wild card.
Dude, the Denver organization is in almost as much turmoil as the Texans. They just have more liquor involved and less Jesus. [Reply]
Let's assuage your fears. The Texans prefer to send him to the NFC, according to Rapoport. The Jets or Dolphins may be able to get him just because of the amount and quality of their picks, bit that's probably it. [Reply]

You must think a lot more highly of the Donkos roster than the rest of us here.
Clearly, we're just gonna have to agree to disagree at this point. [Reply]

Last years Texans team was a good team and Watson showed just what kind of choke artist he is. B.O.B gets all the blame, but Watson is the reason they couldn't beat us after being up by 24. I want him to go somewhere that no one can make any excuses for him.
So it had nothing to do with HOU having a bad run defense, the worst RZ defense in the regular season, the worst 3rd down defense, and one of the worst RZ TD defenses in the league?

With an elite QB, which Watson definitely is, the Broncos don't have to make expert moves. That team is largely built to go to the AFCCG with Watson. It needs upgrades across the defense but if Elway gets lucky for one offseason, you never know. It's literally happened before in Denver, less than a decade ago.
Denver's roster is more comparable to this year's Houston Texans roster which even with Watson was a 4-12 football team.
Also be prepared to subtract potential key players from Denver's current roster if they are trading for Watson, as it will take veteran players + draft picks to get him. [Reply]

Which is why I think they’ll be in on Stafford, maybe Watson. Probably Stafford bc he won’t cost multiple 1st rd picks and he’s cheap the next 2 years.
If I’m Paton I get the QB. They have a good defense under Fangio, OL is significantly better and they have a stable of weapons.
