Russell Wilson has been traded to the Denver Broncos in exchange for multiple draft picks, Drew Lock, Noah Fant, and Shelby Harris. Who could George Paton target to replace some of the new Seattle Seahawks?
What a time to be alive, Broncos Country!
First off, before I get into talking replacements for Drew Lock, Noah Fant, and Shelby Harris, I would like to say thank you for the time those guys put into this franchise. Some beloved, some the center of controversy for the past few years, nevertheless, they put on a Denver Broncos uniform and should be treated with class.
As the three of Lock, Harris, and Fant look to adjust from the mountains of Denver and the thin air to the potentially downpouring rainfall in Seattle, Russell Wilson will look to launch moon balls over the mountains for this historic franchise.
Shortly after it was announced Aaron Rodgers would be returning to Green Bay, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero announced the blockbuster move that catapulted Denver Broncos fans out of their seats. Personally, I ran outside and started shouting at the top of my lungs until my daughter came outsider and asked me, “daddy, are you done being happy?”
The answer is no, that is definitely a no.
Giving up just their first and second-round picks in the 22′ and 23′ draft class, along with their fifth in this year’s class, the Denver Broncos really did not break themselves by acquiring their very own franchise quarterback in Russell Wilson.
In fact, they may have even fleeced the Seattle Seahawks deepening on who you ask.
Losing Noah Fant and Shelby Harris is brutal, but manageable, and I mean that will all due respect.
Who could George Paton add via free agency to fill the voids that they left behind them?
