LondonBrown Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Landry is a good blocker, we signed TE Darren Fells and today FB Vitale and WR Matt Hazel, supposedly a powerful blocker, signed exclusive free agent deals. To my untrained eye these moves and deals suggest they’re going to try and establish the run much harder this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigalow80 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 no third round pick, unless they trade back. I would expect #64 being the RB though this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Tom Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 FWIW- Of Joel Klatt's top sleepers of this draft, #2 was Rashaad Penny from SDSU. Guy is the real deal. I'll be stunned if he's not one of the top rookie rushers this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect #64 being the RB though this year I'm thinking 33 or 35 and if we really want him, a jump up into the 1st for Michel. I predict the top 3-4 RB's are gone by the start of round 2. Just too many good ones that teams now know can really impact a team a la Fornette, Elliot, Peterson, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Possibly so Gip. But Denver made a decision today that leads me to believe they think they have figured out the first 4 to be taken. They just dropped CJ Anderson. Why would they do that unless they know Barkley is dropping to them? I figured that out myself and then checked the internet and found this article that came to the same possible conclusion. https://sports.yahoo.com/broncos-release-rb-c-j-anderson-saquon-barkley-replacement-154444136.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denver would look pretty silly if that is why they did that....but then the Browns take him out from under them. Well...John Elway always looked pretty silly anyway.....though he didn't play silly.

Tour2ma Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Releasing CJ cleared $4.5mm in cap. Not a lot until you consider they were only less than $11mm under the cap. But they did not need to clear that space today, just by June 1, so it'd make more sense to keep CJ if Barky really is their focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBrown Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Or were these blocking moves to help a rookie QB they have seen struggle at times against the blitz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
