Well, I guess HUE knows who he wants to draft.

...and that 'not trading' thing is always subject to change based on the offer.

Has the accordion king named the player he wants at one yet?

That's the 64k$ question.

He is 'supposed' to have a say....but I don't know how much The Harvard Committee cares.

If any QB could play until he's 46, it's Brady

It would take at least what Washington gave up for Griffin, if not more for the Browns to be interested- MHO We start at three firsts and a second.

I know which QB he wants, but not sure if he's said @ #1 yet.

Until he gets hurt. That might change his mind. My bet is he won't make it that far, 2017 might well be his last season. Looked it up, Geroge Blanda played until he was 48, but his last 9 seasons he was essentially just a kicker.

My guess?

Hue's is a co-equal voice with the other 2 or 3 Departments... the number depending on if you split Scouting into college and Pro.

I think he, representing his and his staff's views, has to join the consensus... at minimum endorse any decision to target a prospect.

Except when old George trotted into a game to break our hearts... among other opponents' fans.

Not at #1??? Does he not understand the desperate importance of the position? please let me know if he does... a simple quote click for posterity will do.

Lynch was just a rookie, and IMO the Broncos did the right thing with him, basically letting him sit. For all we know he could now come out great guns. It remains to be seen.

And when he did play, he looked worse that Johnny Manzidiot.

He showed some flashes, but with our (Denver's) o-line and our running game, not much could be expected.

Would you trade for him, if so what would you give up? If for some reason the Broncos go the Romo route and are looking to deal him.

I would offer a bag of used footballs and maybe throw in a JUGS machine for him.

No, we will not trade with Mr. Elway. He caused enough pain around here, although I think Marty aided & abetted him.

I might. I really would have to ponder what I would give up. Perhaps #33. Though, I would still rather have MT.

The issue would be who would be better: Lynch or one of this year's QB candidates besides MT.
