It’s unreal. This entire thing.

My company laid off 70 on a drop of a hat Friday (just our office we have an Ohio office who definitely lost people too)

This borders on conspiracy theory, but I've always felt companies use extraordinary circumstances like this as an opportunity to permanently reduce their overall work force.

2008-2009 and the fallout confirmed that a bit.

It’s incredible.

I told my fiancé we’re moving to bum(frank)sville OK because if those “people” can make money I should have no issue

Gerbe, wouldn't this draft result make your day?

Unfortunately it was definitely due to this.

I work (worked) for the US DOE in a branch servicing and collecting student loans and our contract was indefinitely suspended.

We were desperately staffing up literally three weeks ago

If Elway really wanted to address the QB position, Brady would have been a Bronco.

Broncos don't have half the targets the Bucs do. Sutton is good, but he's not even as good as Evans, let alone Godwin, plus the TEs in Tampa are better than the Broncos'.

Noah Fant had a good year, Rookie TE’s generally don’t do well historically.

Sutton was a Pro Bowl alternate and played 3/4 of a season catching passes from Flacco/Allen in a run heavy offence. He is going to explode this year.

Even before adding Gordon the Broncos had Lindsay and Freeman at RB.

The Broncos need to add another option opposite Sutton of course and will have chances to do so in the draft.

Will the Bucs field a top 10 defence this year like the Broncos will ?

Denver has quietly had a good offseason so far and have put themselves in a position to compete for a wild card spot.

Raymond would be the steal of the draft at 7.

The Bucs managed 7-9 with Winston throwing 147 interceptions including 7 pick 6's I think.

Plus the Bucs were stupid enough to give him $50M guaranteed over two years.

They also scored 28 points a game with Winston. Hard to imagine they’re going to do any better than that with Brady. Turnovers should go down sure, but heard someone on NFL Radio say Bucs betting on the defense being better more than they are the offense. So true.

Huberdeau if the defensive game translates.

Marner if the 200 ft game doesn’t translate.

Middle 9 forward is his floor.

Can’t believe how good Huberdeau has become.

If we can get anyone like him it’s a win

He has been around the game a lot I think he could help Josh out when things start to get tough ..

But I wouldn't mind Joe Flacco he wants to be a back up
