The Beauty in the Struggle: The Drive 3/22/18

Thursday March 22nd, 2018

The Drive with Chad Brown & DMac LIVE in studio! The guys entertain the idea of Denver trading out of the No. 5 overall pick, and DMac yells about the importance of keeping it, noting that no player is as important as a QB1. The guys agree John Elway is the most important & influential Denver Bronco of all-time, and explain why Elway will fall in love with Josh Allen & draw comparisons between the two.

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

DMac laughs at the NFL Draft point system & AP winning MVP over Peyton. DMac says drafting Baker Mayfield at No. 5 overall is not a panic move, and Baker can become our own personal Jimmy Garoppolo. DMac throws out dealing the No. 5 pick & moving back for a Guard, and Chad goes over DMac’s ‘layers’ concept when it comes to the QB position. In the Big 3 @ 3:30, the guys take guesses at who will be the No. 1 pick overall, and Chad Brown marvels at Frank Gore’s career as he inks a deal with Miami, but wonders if Gore is a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. Jason Pierre-Paul is on the move to Tampa, and DMac says New York will now be on the move in the NFL Draft. The guys talk about the Wonderlic test as a piece to the puzzle, and ball location analytics for Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold & Josh Allen.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

Chad Brown says big quarterbacks present an advantage in the pocket, and that’s why Josh Allen will get a long hard look at his pro-day in Wyoming. Also, DMac has Chad choose between Case Keenum & Doug Flutie, and Chad picks Flutie. DMac talks about Case Keenum’s introductory presser, and says Paxton Lynch has to go because the Broncos’ style of offense is shifting. Chad Brown says DMac’s question to Keenum about being better than Kirk Cousins was well-handled by Keenum & DMac. The guys entertain the idea of Denver trading out of the No. 5 overall pick, and DMac yells about the importance of keeping it, noting that no player is as important as a QB1. The guys agree John Elway is the most important & influential Denver Bronco of all-time, and explain why Elway will fall in love with Josh Allen & draw comparisons between the two.

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

DMac & Chad talk about comparable Josh Allen attributes, and make an argument for Bradley Chubb. DMac asks Chad if the NY Giants would be nuts for passing on a QB & believing in Eli Manning for another couple years. Also, DMac says the Broncos don’t have to draft a QB like the Bills do & the Browns won’t give up their No. 1 overall pick. DMac dives into his problem with Tim Tebow playing baseball, and remembers the beginnings of Tebow’s NFL career. DMac lays out the Mike Glennon model, and how the Broncos can use what the Bears did to their advantage. Also, if and when the Broncos will move Case Keenum once they land the QB they really want, and how we got a draft pick for Trevor Siemian.
