Broncos Trade for Waddle, Nuggets Issues & Avs Reality Check | After the Horn Ep. 41


Listen Later

The Broncos shook up their offseason by trading for Jaylen Waddle, but the move sparks immediate debate over value, cost, and whether he truly elevates the offense. The crew questions giving up premium draft capital for a wide receiver and compares the move to other potential options Denver could have pursued. They also examine how this changes the narrative around what had been a quiet offseason and what it means for Sean Payton’s long-term plan.

Shifting to the Nuggets, the conversation turns to a troubling pattern — an inability to close games and inconsistent defense. Despite flashes of dominance, Denver’s late-game execution and defensive lapses raise serious questions about their ability to contend in the playoffs. The panel also breaks down rotations, coaching decisions, and what needs to change before the postseason.

On the ice, the Avalanche are coming off a disappointing performance, but the discussion focuses on the bigger picture — depth, injuries, and whether this team is still a legitimate contender. The crew debates playoff matchups, including potential concerns with teams like Dallas and Minnesota, and what Colorado needs to clean up.

The episode also includes a lively NCAA Tournament discussion with dark horse picks, bracket strategy, and the unpredictability of March Madness. The show wraps with a look at the World Baseball Classic final and what to expect from Team USA vs. Venezuela.
