on social media or Google your feed would have been full with news that John Elway tried to bring Mike Shanahan back into the fold last year. Reports differ Justin Hollins Jersey 2019 , but the gist is that the team’s CEO and President Joe Ellis nixed it. That and the way the Vance Joseph era is going out with a whimper got me wondering: with the way the Broncos ownership situation and apparent power struggle between Ellis and Elway has come into the spotlight, what coaching candidates will seriously consider a vacated head coaching gig next year? There are mitigating circumstances, but Denver has had 4 coaches in 6 years if they go to hire a new one next year. That combined with a number of openings around the league means that Elway could have a hard time picking up his top choice.Unless it was Mike Shanahan. We had quite the discussion about this among the MHR crew yesterday. I went into it as Switzerland. I was neither for, nor against Shanahan. With John Harbaugh all but assured another year with the Ravens I was leaning towards Adam Gase or someone like Matt LaFleur, but the more I thought about it; perhaps Shanny makes sense.The Broncos need work on the offensive side of the ball, but do have the tools to run the patented zone run scheme made popular by Kubiak and Shanahan. Remember those rumors that Kubes wanted to be an Offensive Coordinator? He may not need to go too far to do it. Elway is almost certain to draft a new franchise QB in the draft next year and it’s best for the team’s long term viability to find a coaching staff that will aid in his development. I personally believe Paxton Lynch wasn’t ever going to succeed, but he didn’t seem to get much help from the Mike McCoy/Bill Musgraves staff in 2017. The Kubiak/Shanny system made chicken sandwiches out of Brian Griese and Jake Plummer. Jay Cutler went to the Pro Bowl in Shanahan’s last season. There’s reason to believe Shanny would find a way to rebuild the receiving corps if Emmanuel Sanders can’t return to health next year. There would be questions, obviously. Denver’s defense is in a great spot with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb up front, but will need a new defensive coordinator if Joseph and Woods are canned. Shanahan’s tenure ended because his defense became a complete albatross. He’d really need someone to come in and essentially lead that side of the ball. The other looming concern is the dynamic between Shanahan and Elway. There have been multiple rumors over the years about their icy relationship. How long would the two make things work in a reunion special? Would winning keep all the egos in check?On to your Broncos linksNFL coaching hot seat: Steve Wilks, Doug Marrone, Vance Joseph | SI.comWoody Paige: Secret meetings between John Elway, Mike Shanahan nearly led to far different coaching, QB outcome for Broncos | Premium | gazette.comFrom the horses mouth.Broncos GM John Elway tried to hire Mike Shanahan; Joe Ellis blocked it - Mile High ReportJohn Elway, Mike Shanahan met about Shanahan Broncos returnBroncos Fans on Blame John Elway Deserves for Browns Loss, Bad Season | WestwordReport: John Elway considered firing Vance Joseph, hiring Mike Shanahan – ProFootballTalkVance Joseph: Broncos coaching talks ‘not my concern’ - NFL.comShane Ray found late notice he’d be inactive “disrespectful” – ProFootballTalk2019 NFL Draft: Justin Herbert top QB on Big Board | SI.comLedyard’s Mock Draft 4.0 - Page 2 of 4 - The Draft Network-ICYMI-Denver Broncos: 5 things we learned from loss to the Cleveland Browns - Mile High ReportCleveland Browns at Denver Broncos final score: Mayfield smolders Cheap Justin Hollins Jersey , but Chubb rocks it - Mile High ReportDenver Broncos 5 winners, 3 losers in 17-16 loss to Cleveland Browns - Mile High ReportVon Miller breaks Simon Fletcher’s all-time Denver Broncos sack record - Mile High ReportDenver Broncos: Case Keenum and the offense has been figured out - Mile High ReportFixing The Denver Broncos: 2019 Offseason Plan - The Draft NetworkA look around the rest of the WestKansas City Chiefs could clinch AFC West and a bye on Sunday - Arrowhead PrideThe Kansas City Chiefs will go as far as Patrick Mahomes can carry themPatrick Mahomes is reportedly planning a cereal called “Patty Flakes” - Arrowhead PrideAnthony Lynn has lifted the Chargers curse - Bolts From The BlueChargers can no longer be overlooked as Super Bowl contender | News, Sports, Jobs - Minot Daily NewsDid the win over Chiefs solidify Chargers’ Anthony Lynn as Coach of the Year?Los Angeles Chargers RB Melvin Gordon expected to return in week 16 - Bolts From The BlueRaiders’ Jon Gruden and Derek Carr react to loss | The Fresno BeeThe other NFL news worth knowingWhat we learned from Sunday’s Week 15 games - NFL.com2018 NFL AFC, NFC playoff picture - Bracket, schedule, Super Bowl matchups through Week 15NFL Week 15: A Wild Ride Through the Playoff Picture | SI.comNick Foles, Philadelphia Eagles beat Los Angeles RamsMcVay on Rams’ woes: We’ve got to ‘figure it out fast’ - NFL.comNick Foles to start Week 16; Wentz won’t go on IR - NFL.comThe NFL’s biggest surprises, and teams and players who could copy them in 2019Logan Ryan will miss the rest of the season after breaking leg – ProFootballTalkLamar Jackson running the ball more often than any other quarterback, ever – ProFootballTalkShaquill Griffin takes issue with ‘terrible call’ that cost Seattle Seahawks in OT loss to San Francisco 49ersStuds & Duds: Upset City - The Draft NetworkSaints survive slugfest, crush Panthers’ playoff hopes - NFL.comSean Payton, Drew Brees of New Orleans Saints now No. 2 in wins among coach/quarterback duosReport: Steve Wilks’ firing “seems a foregone conclusion” – ProFootballTalkRex Ryan Explains Patriots’ Troubles: Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski ‘Older, Slower’ | New England Patriots | NESN.comTom Brady on red-zone INT: ‘It shouldn’t happen’ - NFL.comClosing the Books on a Snake Bit SeasonBears LT Charles Leno proposes to his girlfriend on field after clinching NFC North - NFL VideosBuffalo Bills QB Josh Allen’s latest chapter is his best to dateDid the Broncos er in passing on Allen?

Is a premium pick on a wide receiver a good idea for the Broncos?Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY SportsIt was another “Take your case to court” day on Orange & Blue Radio, and the debate du jour was whether Broncos should spend a premium draft pick (Day 1 or Day 2) on a wide receiver.Listen to "04-08-19 Take The Case To Court" on Spreaker.Ryan Edwards was up first to make a case for going for the premium pick on a wideout. He didn’t even bother with the first round, but he definitely believes there is value to be had in rounds two or three that the Broncos should heavily consider.Arguing for guys like Marquise Brown, A.J. Brown, Hakeem Butler (Go Cyclones!), N’keal Harry or even Scotty Payne’s favorite, Deebo Samuel, Edwards claimed the Broncos need speed and aggressiveness at the position.He pointed specifically to Samuel’s 9.7 yards after catch average last year, the top among all college wide receivers. The best average among NFL wide receivers was 7.9 yards after catch average for comparison (which, of course, isn’t completely fair given the higher level of defense in the pro ranks).But perhaps most important among Edwards arguments was the need the Broncos have at the position. As good as Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton were as rookies, there was a definite drop-off in production after the Broncos traded Demaryius Thomas and lost Emmanuel Sanders to injury. Sutton and Hamilton struggled to fill in as the top receivers. Another high-end talent at the position - especially to hold once Sanders is done in Denver - is a key need for this offense to be successful.“Broncos, give yourself as many options as possible,” Edwards pleaded. “There is tons of value on Day 2.Go get your guy.”Arguing for the opposition Karl Mecklenburg Jersey , Andrew Mason also made a solid case, pointing out that historically in the NFL, there is great wideout value on Day 3.He noted that among 32 NFL teams last season, 64 “team leaders” were players at the wide receiver position - and 30 of those (nearly half) were players who were not drafted by teams in the first three rounds. “You’re finding quality all directions,” Mason said, adding that 33 percent of all Pro Bowl wide receivers were drafted on Day 3 of their corresponding drafts and 37 percent since the merger. “And no team has milked trades, or late round picks more than the Denver Broncos at wide receiver.” For example, Mase pointed out, of the 37 Broncos in history who have made Pro Bowl or AFL All Star appearances, only 19 were drafted in the first three rounds. And of that 19, only 9 were drafted by the Broncos (the other 10 were acquired in free agency or trade).“There is quality year after year at the wide receiver position on Day 3 and even undrafted,” Mason said. “Some quality bleeds on Day 3 year after year.”‘The Honorable’ Steve Atwater was clearly impressed with both cases and had a tough time making a final decision. Once again, I won’t tell you the choice. Weigh in with your thoughts, then go listen to see if the great Ring-of-Famer agreed with you.
