ENGLEWOOD Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey , Colo. 鈥?After entering the offseason scrambling again at quarterback,聽John Elway聽emerged from draft weekend set for the present and maybe the future at a position that’s been his Frankenstein ever since Peyton Manning retired three years ago.Drew Lock聽will be Joe Flacco‘s understudy 鈥?providing he can beat out Boise State QB Brett Rypien, who was among the undrafted players Denver signed after the draft concluded, for the backup job.Lock, the second-round pick from Missouri will take a wait-and-watch approach like reigning NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes did for a year behind Alex Smith in Kansas City, or even like Aaron Rodgers did for three seasons behind Brett Favre in Green Bay.By taking Lock with the 42nd pick and immediately declaring him Flacco’s apprentice, the Broncos are dodging the kind of QB competition that blew up on them two straight summers with 2016聽first-round bust Paxton Lynch.Lock and head coach Vic Fangio also are avoiding the pressure cooker that awaits first-rounders Kyler Murray in Arizona and Dwayne Haskins in Washington, QBs expected to make immediate impacts.“I think it will certainly take pressure off him and it will allow him to sit and learn,” Lock’s father, Andy, a restaurateur from Kansas City, told The Associated Press on Saturday. “And also I think from an organizational standpoint, maybe the Broncos don’t feel as much pressure to get him on the field early.“It’s a great recipe, and I’m excited for that.”So is his son, who realizes he has a lot to learn as a pro.“I think I’m just going to take it day by day here,” Lock said, declining to declare any timetable for taking over as the starter. “I’m going to try to be the best teammate possible because I know if there’s one thing to help win over a team and win over a locker room, it’s come in and just be a good teammate.“Then I think I’ll gain the respect and the trust of everybody in that locker room” like Mahomes did in K.C. and Rodgers did in Green Bay.Lock was hoping to be a first-round selection but said he knows deep down his landing spot was much more important than his draft slot.“Obviously Womens Dre'Mont Jones Jersey , you’d like to get picked a little earlier, but I’m here,” Lock said. “We got Dalton (Risner) because of it, we got Noah (Fant) because of it, and if that’s the way it was supposed to be, then so be it. I’m a Bronco now and I couldn’t be more excited to be here.”Elway said he saw the draft as another step in his makeover of the Broncos, which has included the hiring of Fangio, acquisition of Flacco and free agent signings such as Ja’wuan James and Kareem Jackson.Elway said Fant and Risner should start right away and with “Drew coming in and competing for the backup spot, he gives us some depth there.”“So, we feel much better where we’re sitting here now today than we did coming out of last season.”WHO THEY GOTIn a draft loaded with defense, Elway focused first on improving a fetid offense. He used his first three picks on Iowa TE聽Fant, Kansas State RG Risner and Lock. His top defensive addition is Ohio State DT Dre’Mont Jones. Saturday’s picks were versatile Oregon LB聽Justin Hollinsand Colorado WR Juwann Winfree in the sixth. He also acquired former Broncos special teams stud Dekoda Watson in a trade.SURPRISE MOVESElway didn’t consider drafting a QB in the first round, but he traded with Cincinnati to move up to 42nd and select Lock 32 spots 鈥?a full round 鈥?after many projections had him going. Elway also聽pulled a stunner by taking Winfree, who started just seven games in college, missed the 2016 season with a torn ACL and sat out four games last year with a sprained ankle.HOW THEY DIDElway filled a major need by drafting Fant in the first round. Fant clocked a 4.5-second 40-yard time at the NFL scouting combine, faster than 17 wide receivers. In Hollins, they’re hoping they landed the ILB who could help the Broncos smother opposing tight ends like George Kittle who burned them for 210 yards and a TD in the first half of a game last season that essentially ended their slim playoff hopes.WHAT’S NEXTAddressing CB Chris Harris Jr.’s request for a hefty pay raise. The 30-year-old star is due $7.8 million in 2019, about half of what cornerbacks of his caliber are making. Harris is skipping the offseason program while Fangio installs his new defense and recently issued a pay-me-or-trade-me request after what he felt were disrespectful comments by Elway https://www.broncoslockerroom.com/authentic-drew-lock-jersey , who has a history of playing hardball with his stars. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Quarterbacks are lighting it up at a record-setting pace this season with 228 touchdown throws in the first month of the season.Case Keenum hasn’t joined the party.The Denver Broncos‘ new quarterback has just three touchdown passes — none since the opener against Seattle — and his six interceptions are just one shy of the total he had last season in Minnesota.Keenum is the first Broncos QB since John Elway in 1986 to go three consecutive games with 20 throws and zero touchdowns.“Is it a concern? Not really,” coach Vance Joseph said Wednesday. “Our concern is winning football games. … But Case is going to get better and better with time. We’re figuring out who we are as an offense. It’s a month into the season, I’ve been proud of how Case is playing.”If Keenum throws a touchdown pass Sunday when the Broncos (2-2) visit the Jets (1-3), it’ll be his first in 28 days.“I don’t care how we get into the end zone,” Keenum said. “Obviously, I like throwing touchdowns. I like when those guys are running them in, too. We’ve got two great backs” in rookies Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay.“They’re doing a great job. But we’ve got a bunch of targets. Receivers, tight ends, they want to get into the end zone, too,” Keenum said. “So, whatever it takes. I know the whole team is that way and whatever it takes to score more points than the other team, whether it’s run or pass” is the goal. “But yeah, we’d love to get more passes going.”Keenum would have had a fourth TD pass to go with his third fourth-quarter comeback for the Broncos had he connected with a wide-open Demaryius Thomas streaking down the sideline Monday night in the final seconds of Denver’s 27-23 loss to the Chiefs in which they squandered a 10-point fourth-quarter lead.On third down from the Kansas City 28 with 22 seconds left, Keenum saw the cornerback jam Thomas, then release him to the safeties, both of whom were deep in the end zone.No linebacker to layer to throw over.No safeties to freeze with his eyes.No over-the-shoulder pinpoint pass needed.Just a basic delivery to his big receiver.Keenum stepped up and … rifled it over Thomas’ head .Keenum loved the play call by offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave Dalton Risner Jersey , who’s taken some heat for using three-receiver sets without a fullback or tight end on a three-and-out series sandwiched between Patrick Mahomes ‘ two TD drives that rallied the unbeaten Chiefs.“It was a great play call by Bill, trying to take a shot at the end zone and they played two high safeties,” Keenum said. “I threw it where I wanted to, just a little high. It was just a little bit off. And that’s the game.Would I have liked to have that one back? Heck yeah. But I know we’re going to make a lot more of those than we don’t.“So, I gave it my best shot and I can’t lose anymore sleep over it,” Keenum said. “We’ve got a lot more games to play. We’ve got a tough test this week. So, I’ve squashed it. I’ve learned from it. I’ve moved on.”Being in all four games with a chance to pull out the win gives Keenum hope he can find his rhythm like he did in leading the Vikings to the NFC championship game last season.“We haven’t played our best football yet and we’ve had a chance to win every game,” Keenum said. “… I’m excited where we’re at. I’m even more excited where we’re headed.”MARSHALL’s MOVEMENTThe Broncos and Brandon Marshall announced a $50,000 commitment to help launch the linebacker’s FEEL (Feed and Educate to Empower Leaders) Movement in Denver.The initiative was announced 48 hours after Marshall and Thomas both stood with their teammates during “The Star-Spangled Banner” Monday night after staying inside during the national anthem for the first three games.Marshall, who followed the lead of his college teammate Colin Kaepernick in taking a knee during the national anthem in the past, said he and Thomas felt that they had made their point by continuing to draw attention to social injustice.“The protest is just a symbol. The knee is just a symbol. It’s not everything. The action, what we do in the community, that’s everything,” Marshall said. “I definitely think the knee was important to get everybody’s attention, but more-so it’s about what everyone’s doing in the community.”
