Yay!!!

 

[And1Hawk]

Boom!

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

Daniels went to a team I like.
JJ went to a top-notch organization.
Jewell went to both.

 

[And1Hawk]

Now let’s get Wadley on a team

Like Billy Romo....without the psychosis.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Ugh... not Denver.

 

[Harbinger273]

Noice!

 

[bagdropper]

Ugh... not Denver.

Yeah. Pretty much anybody but the Donks/Faiders/Bolts for me when it comes to Hawks.

Glad he's drafted though, probably exactly where he should have gone too, and I wish him nothing but the best other than when he plays the Chiefs.

 

[greenelite]

Perfect fit for Josey. Will have a great D-Line in front. Jewell really needs to get bigger to be able to handle wear and tear of being inside in the NFL.

 

[takai]

So happy Josey was drafted. Some of the best talent the university has ever had.

I'm stoked about this, unfortunately Denver has had some bad covering inside line backers running the 3-4 since Trevathon left (besides Marshall). Josey is athletic and instinctual, but he has short arms and doesn't quite have the speed to cover nfl running backs and tight ends. Until Josey has time to develop the media/fans will be very hard on him. The bright side of that is he feeds off that bullsh** and it motivates him.

This is SWEET!!!! Finally the Broncos draft a Hawkeye!!!!!

Why do you say that?

My condolences toJosey.

 

[The Sleeping Dog]

Rather see him on a Midwest team but glad he's off the board. I can see JJ as a special teams killer.

 

[BlackNGoldBleeder]

That's an interesting comparison. Romo was a d-bag. Funny, IIRC, he did an interview years ago on 60 Minutes crying about why he was such a dirty player.

Yeah not calling JJ dirty....plays hard and all over the place and so did Romo. Plus they are both white boys so there is that....

 

[Nile High]

Very late to this party but this is great news to me and other Denver fans. Denver has positioned themselves to be better both offensively and defensively even without Jewells help. Great opportunity for Jewell.
Go Hawks

 

[vgshwk]

Him being a pony I have no choice but to hate him now.

 

[cap_tain8]

my family is all Denver fans. I don't like them. but I will root for Joeys.

 

[bumpstock]

Denver's a good team for Josey, and the 3-4 D hopefully extends his career years..

Pass D is going to be a big challenge for him at that level physically. Agree as well that he is more likely to either use criticism as fuel, or ignore it, than let it get to him.

 

[citizenHawk]

Cool to have a Hawkeye playing for Denver. Can't help thinking about Pat Angerer doing pretty well for the Colts before sidelined. Gotta believe JJ stacks pretty well with his skillset--assuming all things being equal. Will be interesting to watch what happens, and fun to root for his progress this summer.

Not sure I agree.

You realize King only had 7 more passes defended than "The Outlaw"?

[kceasthawk]

People seem to forget that he's an inside LB, not a safety. His numbers defending the pass in college, (for his position), are pretty damn good, so I'm not sure why this would be a major area of concern.

 

[Hawks_Rock_12]

Living in Broncos country, I'm happy to see the outlaw will be playing for the local team !

 

[pharmdfd]

He’s going to be playing behind a great line with one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. All wins for him.

Yep. Seems to be kind of a myth that he's bad in coverage. He led the 2018 draft class of linebackers with 55 targets and didn't allow a single touchdown. He was also one of the better LBs at forcing incompletions on targets. He'll be just fine.
