How much better are the Broncos relative to what they've spent in FA?

Jon & Shaad dive deep into the NFL Draft evaluations of Utah TE Dalton Kincaid, Notre Dame TE Michael Mayer and Oregon State TE Luke Musgrave. 

Jon & Shaad agree on a lofty comparison for Kincaid, and offer their projections for his NFL ceiling. Is Mayer a good enough athlete to be a TE1 in the NFL? Can Musgrave lean on his clear strengths enough in the NFL to overcome his glaring weaknesses? 

Finally, the guys discuss the importance of the NFL Combine, especially for tight ends.

Jon and Shaad get deep into the evaluation of Pitt DT Calijah Kancey, before weighing how B.J. Ojulari's skill set translates to the NFL, and whether Siaka Ika can reach his 3-down potential as a pro.

Jon tackles the evaluations of Iowa defensive end Lukas Van Ness and Georgia edge defender Nolan Smith. How much should college production matter for edge defenders? What stats should we look at? What context do those production numbers need to be properly utilized in evaluation? Is size/weight a big detriment for edge defenders?

Jon dives into his history scouting edge defenders in the NFL Draft, and what his evaluation of Myles Murphy & Tyree Wilson look like compared to consensus. Does Murphy have the traits to become a top tier edge rusher in the NFL? Why did he struggle so much in space at the college level? Wilson's power is wild to watch on tape! But how many edge rushers win primarily with power in the NFL? And should we be concerned with how raw Wilson is at almost 23 years old?
