Montgomery Jersey , Colo. (AP) — Von Miller publicly pleaded with John
Elway to sign free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason only to see the
Denver Broncos GM reel in Case Keenum instead.So, Miller isn’t offering his boss
any advice on who to grab with the No. 5 pick in the NFL draft.“I’m cool with
whatever he does with that pick,” Miller said.So is Keenum, who swears he’ll be
OK if Elway decides to draft a quarterback at 5 just six weeks after luring him
to Denver with a two-year, $36 million deal that includes $25 million in
guarantees.“Whoever comes in, I’ll be looking for them to help us be a better
football team. No matter what position it is,” said Keenum, who’s already been
declared the starter by coach Vance Joseph.The Broncos haven’t selected this
high since Elway chose Miller second overall in 2011.If Elway sidesteps the deep
class of quarterbacks, he’ll have his choice of blue chippers that would provide
immediate help to Keenum and Miller whereas a quarterback most likely wouldn’t
play until 2019.“Life is too short to rebuild in the NFL,” Elway declared this
spring.If, however, he has fallen in love with one of the hyped-but-hazardous QB
prospects and that man is still on the board when the Broncos are on the clock,
it’s a good bet Elway will grab him even though he just signed Keenum.Elway and
his lieutenants spent countless hours studying the “Big Four ” passers — Baker
Mayfield, Josh
Allen
http://www.bearsfootballauthentics.com/riley-ridley-jersey-authentic ,
Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen — over the past several months, sending contingents
to pro days, coaching Allen and Mayfield at the Senior Bowl, bringing them in
for two-day visits and interviewing them at the combine.Maybe that was all a
smoke screen, maybe not.Maybe they love one of them, maybe they don’t.Elway has
done a good job of hiding his intentions, saying only that he’ll take “the best
player that is best for the Denver Broncos” regardless of what position he
plays.“I’m open to trading,” too, Elway added, although it would certainly take
a blow-me-away offer for him to move out of the fifth spot in a draft so deep in
high-level, even generational talent outside the enticing quarterback
group.Elway always tries to fill his biggest needs in free agency so he won’t
have to reach in the draft and can simply take the best player. Signing Keenum
gave him that safeguard this year.Elway won’t have to settle for anything less
than the QB atop his wish list, and if he’s not there, Elway can bypass the
quarterbacks altogether to grab a prime playmaker at another position.RUN ON
RUNNING BACKSElway suggested the Broncos will dive into the deep pool of running
backs after releasing sixth-year pro C.J. Anderson last week.“It’s a deep
running back class as I’m sure you’ve heard,” Elway said. “We feel good about
the fact that we’ll be able to get a good one.”KUBIAK COMEBACKGary

Miller Jersey , Elway’s former backup, play-caller and head coach who
returned to the team in a scouting role last summer has a much bigger role in
drawing up the Broncos’ draft blueprints.“Gary is a very good evaluator,” Elway
said. “He has suggestions and his are very important and those go into the
pot.”HITS, MISSES AND BARGAINSSince former GM Brian Xanders’ departure in 2012,
Elway hasn’t drafted a single Pro Bowl player. Only the Saints and Browns join
Denver in that ignominious category.Elway’s best pick since assuming more power
was CB Bradley Roby at No. 31 in 2014. But his other top selections include
Sylvester Williams, Shane Ray, Paxton Lynch and Garett Bolles. His second-round
record is even spottier: Montee Ball, Cody Latimer, Ty Sambrailo, Adam Gotsis
and DeMarcus Walker.Center Matt Paradis, a sixth-round gem in 2014, is just
about his only bargain in Elway’s past five drafts.A bounce-back season in 2018
might very well come down to Elway having a draft as he did with Xanders in
2011, when they teamed up to pick Miller, Rahim

Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers have proven during the first half of the
season that they have plenty of weapons on offense. One who has emerged is
Tyrell Williams, who has become a deep threat during the past month.Going into
Sunday’s game at Oakland, the fourth-year wide receiver has four touchdowns and
is averaging 28.8 yards per catch over the past three games.“He’s become a
complete receiver. His receiving skills, he’s just taken them to another level,”
Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said.With Keenan Allen still drawing double teams,
Williams continues to benefit from single coverage. Five of his receptions
during the past three games have gone for 20 yards or more, including a
75-yarder against Tennessee on Oct. 21. He is tied for the team lead in
receiving touchdowns (five), second in yardage (451) and third in receptions
(22) during the first half of the season.“I think it’s really just been seeing
what the defense does, when to take shots, being able to get over the top and
trusting my ability to go up and get the ball or run past the defense,” said
Williams

whose 20.5 yards per reception average is third in the league.Philip Rivers also
hasn’t been afraid to go to Williams on consecutive plays if the matchup is
favorable. Williams caught both passes on a two-play, 89-yard drive midway
through the second quarter of the Oct. 14 game at Cleveland, including a 45-yard
touchdown where he got leverage over cornerback Damarious Randall.While Williams
has made his biggest impact on downfield plays
