00:00Well, we are going to Denver to preview the Denver Broncos.

00:06Now folks, I just want to pull back the curtain here.

00:08This is known as our short segment and there's a reason because, uh, well, I don't know how

00:13much there is to love in Denver, Joe.

00:16No, not a lot to love in Denver.

00:18That's for sure.

00:19A lot of uncertainty.

00:20I just can't shake the Bo Nicks of Auburn out of my head.

00:23I know, you know, finished up well in Oregon, very successful team, giant bunch of men protecting

00:29him on that offensive line, giving him a time to throw, but still the lowest average

00:33depth of target of any quarterback in this class, right?

00:36By a wide margin.

00:37Uh, sure.

00:38It's part of the offense, but it's also, I think limiting, you know, the warts or potential

00:42downsides of Bo Nicks.

00:44And then if you're going to go and take Bo Nicks as aggressively as the Denver Broncos

00:47took him, and they did take him aggressively in air quotes there.

00:52I just don't know, you know, if he's, he's gotta be the starter to start the year.

00:57I just don't think there's any way around this.

00:59So what does that do for a quarterback that I'm not super high on to be a day one week,

01:04one starter at the NFL level is some problems potentially, and behind him is Zach Wilson

01:08and Jarrett Stidham.

01:09It's not exactly confidence after that.

01:11So this becomes an interesting scenario of, can you find any value here?

01:15Javante Williams is being challenged for that number one role.

01:18A lot of people love Jaleel McLaughlin.

01:20He's a very popular sleeper this year in the fantasy football community, because people

01:25think McLaughlin could be that guy that would really, um, you know, had a great college

01:29career.

01:30A lot of volume could be that kind of guy.

01:31Maybe they have to just rely heavily on the run.

01:33That's possible.

01:34A lot of people have a lot of faith in Sean Payton.

01:36Now I do, but only to a certain extent.

01:39This is not Drew Brees.

01:40You're working with here.

01:41This is Bo Nicks.

01:42This is a totally different set of circumstances.

01:44So, uh, I am skeptical at best about the Broncos.

01:48McLaughlin's interesting.

01:49Courtland Sutton's interesting.

01:50Cause I still think he's the alpha dog wide receiver one in this group.

01:53He's coming at a significant discount.

01:55And if you look at the projections on him, he's going as somewhere like a wide receiver

01:58five or even six in some locations.

02:01That's fine.

02:02Like I think that's okay.

02:04Bad team might be playing from behind.

02:06Take that, you know, wide receiver one on that team.

02:08I'm okay.

02:09Marvin Mims has size and he has got some intrigue there, but I just don't know if we can, you

02:14know, get there.

02:15I had a lot of injuries last year with that wide receiver core.

02:18Dulcich is a, is a nice talented tight end.

02:21UFC quarterbacks tend to check down a lot and look for those tight ends.

02:24So he could be useful at times, but I think more of a tight end streamer with the way

02:27tight end value and talent is this year.

02:30So it's really the one guy in this offense.

02:32You can make a case for his Courtland Sutton as ADP Troy Franklin in deeper leagues.

02:37Interesting because he did play with Bo Nicks.

02:38So there's a familiarity there.

02:40And I think that does matter to a certain extent.

02:42I do think that when you have a young quarterback and a receiver that he has a relationship

02:46with already, it's going to be something that's comfortable for them.

02:51But at the same time, this is professional football.

02:53So there's going to be guys that are going to outrank him for targets and Courtland Sutton

02:55is going to outrank him.

02:56So late Troy Franklin, intriguing Julia McLaughlin, late, intriguing Courtland Sutton is a value

03:02play.

03:03There's a couple of pieces you can cherry pick, but overall not super excited about

03:06the offense of the Denver Broncos.
