Hour one Pritchard & Cecil talk more about the news from yesterday with the Broncos releasing running back C.J. Anderson. Cecil Lammey has had a full day to recover from his loss of C.J. Anderson. What does this mean for the broncos running back situation a day after the move was done? Do they target a running back in the draft early or later on? Or is it time for Devontae Booker to step up in 2018? Pritchard & Cecil go into what the impact and ramifications are after this move was made by the Denver Broncos.
Plus, Pritch hates the idea of drafting a slot wide receiver. He explains his reasons why, and what direction the Broncos should go at the wide receiver position.

Hour two Pritchard & Cecil talk about if there is a scenario where the Broncos trade out of the top ten this year to gather more picks. The guys look at some of the latest mock drafts and one specific mock draft that has the Broncos trading twice in the first round to gather more draft picks. The guys break down why that’s not something that would most likely happen this season. Pritchard & Cecil do look at one scenario where the Broncos would trade back in order to get picks not only this season but in next seasons draft.

The guys go through the three players in linebacker Shane Ray, tight end Jake Butt and corner back Bradley Roby. Pritchard & Cecil explain why Shane Ray being a first round pick a few years ago will dictate a lot of things for the Broncos defense in 2018. The fellas then jump into why the Broncos need for a better offense and a tight end will put pressure on Jake Butt to get back on the field this season to have some value. Finally, the guys talk about Bradley Roby and why the Broncos trading away Hall of Fame corner back Aqib Talib away puts pressure on Roby to step up and be a legit starting corner back in the NFL.
