ENGLEWOOD Demarcus Walker Jersey , Colo. (AP) — John Elway as having fallen for Missouri’s Drew Lock even though the Denver Broncos boss hasn’t spent nearly as much time scouting this year’s crop of quarterbacks as he did last year’s superior group that included Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold.Picking fifth last year, Elway passed on first-round QBs Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson to draft pass rusher Bradley Chubb.Expect something similar this year with Elway, who owns the 10th pick this time, capitalizing on a draft that’s even deeper in defensive difference makers and lighter on the kind of pocket passers he prefers.Elway traded for former Ravens QB Joe Flacco this offseason, saying, “We feel like he’s really got a lot more football left in him.”Adding an experienced quarterback such as Flacco gives Elway wiggle room.“We feel like this gives us a lot of different options with that 10th pick, as well as the second and third (rounds),” Elway said. “We’re at the top of those rounds, so we feel like there are a lot of good football players that will be there to help us.”With really enticing quarterback classes coming up in 2020 and 2021, Elway will likely settle for a project passer down the board this year instead of grabbing the likes of Lock at No. 10.Lock has great athleticism, a strong arm and the swagger but lacks accuracy — sounds a lot like Paxton Lynch, whom Elway blundered by taking in the first round three years ago, setting the franchise into a nosedive.The Broncos’ playoff drought is now three years, they’re coming off consecutive losing seasons for the first time since the Nixon administration and Elway is on his seventh QB since Peyton Manning’s retirement and his fourth head coach in six seasons.With Justin Herbert bypassing the 2019 draft to play his senior season at Oregon, the one quarterback that fits Elway’s mold for an old-school pocket passer is Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins — who wore an Elway jersey on his Broncos visit — but he’s expected to be gone by the time the Broncos are on the clock.Last year, Elway shifted his focus after two stop-watch drafts and loaded his roster with prospects who had played four years in college and had been captains. That approach produced his best draft class yet.Elway has plenty of holes to fill as he tries to revive the Broncos:INSIDE LINEBACKEROft-injured Brandon Marshall is gone and while Todd Davis and Josey Jewell had their moments last season, Denver needs a linebacker who can throttle tight ends.“You’re always looking for that linebacker that can play all three downs,” Elway said. “That’s where the game is going, is inside backers under 225 to 230 pounds that can really run and cover people.”TIGHT ENDThe Broncos have three tight ends coming off injuries that sidelined them last season: Jake Butt Connor McGovern Jersey , Jeff Heuerman and Troy Fumagalli.“We’ve been trying to address that every year,” Elway said. “That’s a tough position now, especially when you’re talking about an in-line guy that is a blocker but can also be a good pass receiver. We don’t have a lot of in-line guys coming out of college like we used to because of what they’re doing in college ball, opening things up. And there’s more receivers coming out of college. It’s much more difficult finding the in-line tight ends than it’s ever been.”DEFENSIVE LINEMANThe Broncos have the NFL’s most prolific pass rush duo in Von Miller and Chubb. But what they really need is more pressure up the middle.“Absolutely. You need to have a good, even rush,” new head coach Vic Fangio said. “You can’t have two guys applying pressure here and two guys stuck here. You want, ‘Boom, Boom,’ right there, four guys at the quarterback he can feel caving in on him. That’s critical at the pass rush and that’s an area we need to improve in.”KICK RETURNERThe Broncos could use a dynamic kick returner for a chance and if he can catch passes, too, all the better, because Emmanuel Sanders is trying to come back from a torn Achilles tendon.CORNERBACKMaybe.Chris Harris Jr. wants a new contract and is sitting out the offseason program until he gets one, and Elway wants to wait until after the draft to give it to him.Of course, that opens the possibility of a team calling Elway and making an offer for Harris. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)Von Miller doesn’t get too excited about how guys look this time of year.”You really can’t put too much into OTAs,” Miller said Tuesday when asked how much improvement he saw in Denver’s revamped offense. ”Last year, I thought during OTAs we were going to win the Super Bowl.”Asked what it was like playing with a healthier Shane Ray and with rookie Bradley Chubb, the top defender in last month’s draft whose selection sent him into a tizzy , Miller again demurred.”I mean Carlos Henderson Jersey , it’s the same thing that I said about the offense, you really can’t put too much into it,” Miller said. ”You really can’t get too high off a `sack’ in practice out here. I mean, I think that’s a joke.”If you really want to get Miller going, however, bring up his pass rushing summit.Miller is hosting his second annual gathering of the league’s top quarterback tormentors June 27 to June 29 at the Bass Pro Shops’ Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, Missouri.”Some guys said they were coming but I don’t want to say their names yet. You know how it is when you’ve got big-money guys walking around they commit to something two months out,” said Miller, who was all smiles now. ”We should have a good group of young guys. We got a good group of vets and retired guys that are going to come talk about pass rush and come up with ways on how to beat up some quarterbacks.”Miller’s first such summit came about organically last year in California .At the behest of his former position coach Richard Smith, Miller contacted Falcons defensive end Vic Beasley so they could work out together at Stanford University during their summer break between OTAs and training camp.When word got out, ”the media kind of dubbed it the Von Miller Pass Rush Summit,” Miller said. ”I was reading the article and I’m like, I should make this happen. So, I invited all the guys that I knew.”On short notice, he lured Khalil Mack, Olivier Vernon, Malik Jackson, the recently retired DeMarcus Ware, Shane Ray, Cassius Marsh and Cliff Avril Devontae Booker Jersey , among others.Miller’s inspiration was former teammate Peyton Manning, whose family holds an annual quarterback camp and who used to gather receivers along with brother Eli at Duke University during his playing career.”That definitely was the blueprint,” said Miller, who figured if quarterbacks could gather in the offseason to share trade secrets, why shouldn’t pass rushers?”Whenever you can get guys together who do the same thing that you do to share thoughts, it helps develop you as a pass rusher,” Miller said. ”It helps develop the young guys and it’s better for our sport. It absolutely helps the game of football.”He told The Associated Press at the Super Bowl in Minneapolis that he’d obtained a title sponsor and expected his second annual camp to be even bigger and better than the first. He said he’d invite offensive linemen, too.”It’s a great space where we can go share knowledge,” Miller said. ”It’s the only place where you can do that, it’s the only place where you can get Khalil Mack and Vic Beasley in the same spot – other than the Pro Bowl – and talk about just straight pass rush, what it takes to be a great pass rusher.“It’s great for everybody around.”Miller doesn’t have a head count yet, but he’s not worried about nobody showing up to his party.”I just call the guys around the league. It’s a small fraternity of guys. I know guys on every team,” Miller said. ”So, Justin Houston, I can just call him and tell him to invite Dee Ford and the other guys. Andre Branch with the Miami Dolphins, I can just call him and tell him to invite all the guys. Aric Armstead and Cassius Marsh with the San Francisco 49ers, they were already there last year, so tell them to invite the other guys.”You put the word out and it’s like the `Justice League,’ all the (pass rushers) just come out of nowhere.”—
