Speaker 1 (00:00):
When does the draft actually start? It used to start
at night. When does it start? Now?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Six o'clock?
Speaker 1 (00:04):
Okay, our time, six pe our time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Now, we don't normally talk about sports on the show,
but let's be real people. We live in Denver, Colorado,
and on Thursday and Friday of this week, everyone is
going to be a buzz with what the Broncos are
going to do. So, in an effort to help you
sound like you know what you're talking about, and more importantly,
help me sound like I know what I'm talking about,
(00:28):
we're going to talk to Anthony, who has been deep involved, steeped,
if you will, in the comings and goings of the
Denver draft situation. Yesterday, Yeah, thanks to kind of a
crazy turn, rumors started getting out and being publicized that
the Broncos were going to trade up to get a
running back. Yes, what do you think the chances of
that actually happening are going to be?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I think, unfortunately it's pretty low. And that is coming
from someone who really wishes that they had the capital
and the wherewithal do it. I just at this point,
especially with the news continuing, I mean, this is just
the the week of smoke screens the week of all
the misdirections.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Let me ask a question about this, because you know,
I love the psychology of a good smoke screen. Yes,
what would be the benefit for the Broncos or anyone
else kind of shoving that that rumor out into the world.
Are they waiting to see who's gonna call? Are they
waiting to see if anybody's interested in trading down?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Could get people to call. It could also, just like
Sean Payton did last year in getting the Vikings to
go get JJ McCarthy, it could get teams to give
up capital to go for players that they actually don't want.
That way they're boring falls their way, and the guy
they actually want that they wouldn't clearly ever really talk about,
falls right in their lap or within like distance to
(01:41):
go up and trade for.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Let me just ask you, though, because this ownership group
seems very straightforward, very buttoned up, very squared away.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
They don't.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
That sounds like an Al Davis move. What you're saying
right there? Are they really like? Is Sean Payton a
schooldugery guy? Is he a Shenanigan's man? That's not how
I have always viewed him.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
He is, and he plays chess in doing so, Okay,
he's very calculated. He knows exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I mean, that's who he wants in this draft. I'm
guessing already.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
And this goes back to last year and essentially he
was freaking out that someone like the La Rams were
going to take bo Nicks, for example. So he is
going to do whatever it takes to make sure he
gets his guy. And again, these misdirections are a part
of it. And yeah, you heard yesterday three independent sources
(02:30):
that are saying the Broncos are potentially one of the
teams that are looking to trade up, but it may
not be for running back. Ian Rappaport RNFL Net're getting tired,
said Koe Sports yesterday. He thinks that they were to
trade up, which is possible, he thinks it would be
for a wide receiver, not for a running back. And
we've all heard the Broncos say that they like their
wide receiver room. So I mean Matthew Golden of Texas
(02:51):
as the guys that could go after Ted McMillan is
a guy that could go after At Arizona, there's a
couple of good wide receivers, but I don't like the
wide receiver class, and I don't ascessarily think that should
be the move. I think you should be for running back.
And and the problem is the rumors today that the
Browns at two overall again the Broncos for those that
know the Broncos are at twenty overall, the Browns at
(03:11):
two overall, and the Giants at three overall. There's rumors
that they are fielding calls to move off of those picks,
potentially teams that are calling them and looking trade. Problem
is that could be for a couple players and they're
not quarterbacks. That could be for one Travis Hunter, who
the Browns are play gonna take it two, or the
unfortunate one that I think it also could very well
be because he is just astronomically risen up boards. I got.
(03:35):
That is my absolute number one dream scenario, and that
is Ashton Jancy, the running back out of Boise State.
There is now talks that first everyone's saying, okay, he's
gonna go six to the Raiders. Sure, Then we're hearing
yesterday maybe five to the Jaguars. Now people are saying
maybe the moving up to two or three could be
a team going that high to get him. So if
if that high five or six wasn't possible for the
Broncos to get jant eight. I mean, it's just now
(03:56):
it's just further out of range.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
So do you think there's any truth to this or
do you think it was just a smoke screen?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Oh? I think there's I think there's I think there's
some a little bit of truth to it. I don't
say a lot, but I would like to think that
there's a little bit to it because I think the
Broncos are her position roster wise where they kind of
need instead of really the depth. And this is why
I hate the trade back situation in the scenario. I
think they need that those that game breaking talent. I
(04:23):
mean that's what all That's what everyone was literally telling
me out of the Super Bowl. Anyone I would talk
to would say, literally, just get bo Nick some weapons.
If you want to get them a weapon, get guys
that are the game changers, the difference makers, the Ashton
Janet's of the world. There's are there's some wide receivers
that'll make a difference, but they need those top level
guys to take the roster up to the next level.
(04:43):
So I don't like the idea of trading back. I
love the idea of trading up. I think Ashton Janety
is going to be on the range, but there's two
other running backs of Marion Hampton and Traveon Henderson, who
would be the number one, three down back on this
team immediately.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And I gotta tell you, after being a Miami Dolphins
fan during the Marino years and watching him never get
a Super Bowl because they never had a running game,
I am inclined to say, we've got to get the
running game just incredibly, incredibly good and let some of
our wide receivers who are very young come along a
little bit more. And I'm with you, I'd rather see
your running back. We'll find out though, on Thursday, and
(05:18):
obviously the draft will go on all weekend through all
the rounds, and we'll have all the coverage here on KOA.
I know the guys on the afternoon show are ready
on Thursday to just jump in, and it's exciting for
running
