<p>Broncos did a great job on stopping Brady at key times. Trouble is that those defensive moves on him have now been broadcast. They may have had to play that card early.</p>

<p>Newton is everything Brady and Manning aren't - quick and mobile. If the Broncos defensive line can't dominate the Panthers offensive line then Cam will have plenty of time to find his receivers, and find holes for the RBs. He's also a huge threat to run himself.</p> -

<p>NFL Free Agency has started. Welcome to the offseason.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most of the storyline is around the Superbowl Champion Denver Broncos. First Peyton rides off into the sunset a champion, and now Brocky O has bolted to the Texans for a $72 million deal. That leaves the Broncos with this guy as their current QB:<br>

<p> </p>
<p>Know him? <br><br>
So what do Denver do? Reports are flying around that the Broncos will sign either RGIII or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or draft either Connor Cook or Dak Prescott and start em straight away. Two trade options are Tampa Bay's Mike Glennon or:<br><br><img src="http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/colin-kaepernick-denies-reports-of-sexual-assault.gif" alt="colin-kaepernick-denies-reports-of-sexua"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This guy. San Fran says he is the starting QB for 2016 but his agent (apparently) says his client wants a trade. Something is gonna give.<br><br>
If CKap really wants out then the 49ers should sign RGIII and have him compete with Blaine Gabbert for the starting role, draft Oregon's Vernon Adams in the later rounds of the draft and trade CKap to the AFC.</p> -
Fuck you Brock. I hope the Texans are a bust

<p>Texans also signed a good young running back in Lamar Miller. But I don't see Brock as a big upgrade over Hoyer tbh. At least not for $72 million.</p> -

<p>He did this purely for the guaranteed money (which is a lot). I hope the cash is sufficient compensation for when he's getting his ass handed to him playing for that franchise. He'd probably have had more fun and success with Denver but it's all about the benjamins and fair go I guess</p> -
It's a massive gamble by the Texans. Brock looked okay but is still essentially unproven, especially for that money
-
By the way, i would take C-Kap in a heartbeat.

Time will tell if Brock is any good

<p>49ers want a 2nd rounder for CKap, Broncos only willing to give a 3rd at this moment. Jets and Browns are also keen. Guess Blaine Gabbert is the franchise QB :unknown: .</p>

<p>Knowing our luck CKap will end up taking Denver back to the SB After a few years in the sun SF have gone back to being the dumpster fire they've been since the De Bartolo years</p> -

<p>RG3.....</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>I agree but I think RG3 might look at the LA Rams as a better option. Better defence and better running game in LA. Not to mention the marketability in LA. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Broncos just lost their RB CJ Anderson to Miami although they can match the offer if they want.</p> -
I'd rather persist with Kaepernick but it appears he's gone. Might need to keep Gabbert, Kelly will get the most out of him, and get a QB in the draft
-
-
<p>The Cleveland Browns have signed RGIII to a 2 year deal so it looks like they won't be drafting a QB in the first round (but target someone like Connor Cook or Vernon Adams in the later rounds). However the 49ers will (probably) take a QB with their pick (either Goff or Wentz) and trade Kap to the Broncos who are now desperate for a QB.</p>

<p>The Patriots are making some moves on the offensive side..</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Patriots <span style="color:#000000;">picked up Chris Hogan</span><span style="color:#000000;"> and a tight end Martellus Bennett</span><span style="color:#000000;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:rgb(34,34,33);font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;">Now they signed Nate Washington, a wideout who could potentially </span><span style="color:rgb(34,34,33);font-family:arial, verdana, helvetica;">be a deep threat.. With the dual tight end threat, plus slot receivers.. It's looking dangerous with a wideout who can catch the ball.. The question will be whether the o-line can offer any protection after they got beat up by the broncos</span></p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Pats still need a decent running game but the Bennett/Gronk duo will scare defences and enthrall fantasy football fans. Chris Hogan....pfft.</p> -

<p>Adam Schefter, who is usually never wrong, says the 49ers and Broncos have agreed in principle to a trade deal involving CKap. Means Gabbert will be the starting QB for the 49ers this season and their first draft pick will be a QB - either Goff or Wentz.</p>

<p>Mods - could you updated thread title to NFL 2016 (or get a new thread going)?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Only 5 months to kickoff ... ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: and 4 weeks to draft day</p> -
-
<p>Big shock this week - The Los Angeles Rams (formerly of St Louis) traded for the number one pick. Tennessee gets a swagger of picks, Rams will select a QB (Goff or Wentz) and it has huge ramifications for several teams - notably San Fran, Philly and Denver.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The 49ers are picking 7th so, unless they choose to move up, will probably miss Wentz (most assume Goff will be LA's choice). So this means they don't trade CKap to Denver which means Denver might have to move up to grab lesser noted QB Dak Prescott, because teams like NY Jets and Buffalo will take an interest now there is a run on the QB stock. Or it means that Denver gives in and offers more for CKap. Philadelphia was hoping to grab either Wentz or Goff with their 8th pick but are now stuck with Sam Bradford, so will probably wait until next year to choose a QB. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Big winners here might be Dallas and Cleveland who can use their position in the draft (4th and 2nd) to grab more picks.</p> -
<p>That is an impressive haul the Titans got for trading the number 1 pick. This draft is noted to be void of superstars, but has lots of good players deep in the draft. It's a great draft to accumulate picks, especially if you have lots of gaps in your roster like the Titans.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Philly bite, trade a bunch of high picks (including this year's 8th overall pick and next year's first round pick) to Cleveland for the 2nd overall pick in the draft!</p>
<p>This means Bradford gets $22 million for holding a clipboard, Philly draft either Wentz or Goff as their starting QB, RGIII is the starter in Cleveland, and CKap stays in San Francisco unless Denver bites and offers what the 49ers want.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And the QB class this year isn't even that great....</p> -

<p>Draft day and LA is on the clock....money on Jared Goff being the first pick overall. Reminds me of Alex Smith so probably not a bad pick by LA (as long as they stick with the same coaching plan unlike San Francisco did).</p>
