League Meetings & Peaceful, Easy Feelings: The Drive 3/27/18

Tuesday March 27th, 2018

The Drive with DMac & Troy Renck LIVE in studio! DMac gets offended when he hears Vance Joseph say Baker Mayfield ‘can throw it hard for a little guy’ and Troy says Mayfield’s accuracy & arm strength are not up for debate no matter his size. Also, how Case Keenum is similar to Mayfield, and DMac wants everyone to hashtag BakerChallenge for how you overcame adversity in your life.

LISTEN TO HOUR ONE HERE!!!

DMac & Troy hear from Vance Joseph on the Broncos O-Line, particularly the Guard candidates, and the impact Quenton Nelson would have immediately. DMac says it’s not worth trading back into the 1st rd for Will Hernandez, and the guys hear audio from Jim Mora Jr. standing by Sam Darnold over his diva QB, Josh Rosen. VJ says the Broncos are not done with Paxton Lynch, and DMac & Troy decide if VJ is being fully truthful. Troy asks DMac which Denver franchise has the best shot to make some noise in the playoffs between the Nuggets, Avs, Broncos & Rockies this year, and what DMac thinks about a possible new ‘targeting’ rule being implemented & enforced in the NFL. Also, what’s next for Dan Patrick after he turns down an extension from NBC to host Football Night in America. The guys talk about what’s next for Von Miller, and who the Broncos should take in the ’18 NFL Draft. Also, Troy dives deeper into the proposed ‘targeting’ rule in the NFL & why some Denver Broncos might be upset about it.

LISTEN TO HOUR TWO HERE!!!

DMac & Troy hear VJ’s thoughts on Josh Allen, and DMac says there’s virtually no way to trade up for Allen in this year’s draft, so why not take a look at Baker Mayfield. DMac says Josh Allen is the ultimate fit for the NY Giants, and Troy can’t see a solution for the chaotic situation in Cleveland. The guys debate the best fit for the NY Jets, and DMac wonders if any teams would give up their draft position to draft Saquon Barkley. Also, what teams would trade up for Baker Mayfield & why Baker could be a legend in Buffalo. DMac gets offended when he hears Vance Joseph say Baker Mayfield ‘can throw it hard for a little guy’ and Troy says Mayfield’s accuracy & arm strength are not up for debate no matter his size. Also, how Case Keenum is similar to Mayfield, and DMac wants everyone to hashtag #BakerChallenge for how you overcame adversity in your life. The guys debate if the Broncos blew the Bolles pick, and who they could take if they traded back to No. 12 overall. Also, Troy says the Broncos coaching staff may have had a complicated call sheet on game day in ’17.

LISTEN TO HOUR THREE HERE!!!

The guys talk about Jamal Murray coming home to play Toronto, and DMac says he thought the road to the playoffs would be easier than this for the Nuggets this year. Troy talks about the Avs’ nice bounce-back record after last year, and the optimism surrounding the Rockies. Also, why Mile High tailgate parties are terrible, where the Kelly family parks their RV, and if DMac is okay with Keenum failing to get Mayfield starting reps in Denver. DMac mentions the Colorado Mammoth ref that puts two players in time-out to think about what they’ve done. Also, DMac takes a call on who the Broncos should be targeting in the draft besides Josh & Baker, and why he’s been a flip-flopper lately. DMac talks about the moment Big Al is set to have at this year’s ’18 NFL Draft, and what his reaction will be if the Broncos take Baker. DMac tells Troy his favorite draft moment from Al was when Denver drafted Tim Tebow after drafting Demaryius Thomas, and explains what Al did after learning of the pick.
