The Drive

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil and the guys compete in trivia vs the morning show. Can we bounce back after a 1-3 performance from a week ago? How important is it for the Broncos to add a second receiver? Is Jonathon Cooper restructuring his contract a sign that something is coming in Broncos free agency? The Dallas Stars are currently favored to win the Stanley Cup, how do the guys feel about the Avs chances if they matchup with Dallas in the playoffs? How have the Stars been playing since the arrival of Mikko Rantanen? Would it be a bad look if Mikko goes on to win a Cup after the Avs traded him this season? Is it in the best interest of the Nuggets championship hopes for Jokic to continue to miss games and get healthy? With Jokic missing games as of late, does that sure up SGA’s MVP case? Do the Nuggets know what their bench rotation will look like in the playoffs yet?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to a trade scenario in which the Broncos trade out of the first-round pick and pick up an additional second round pick and two, third round picks. Phil explains why he is a fan of this move and would like the Broncos to have more “darts” to use on picks. We hear from Broncos GM, George Paton and his thoughts on having more picks and being able to leverage them to work the draft. Should Sean Payton stay out of the way of George Paton and let Paton do what he does best and evaluate talent? With no specific needs to fill for the Broncos, does it make sense to add opportunities to add depth with more picks? We acknowledge the anniversary of Pat Bowlen buying the Broncos 41 years ago and what he meant to the Broncos and the state of Colorado. We wrap up the show with what the guys learned in Denver Sports.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Dover and Cecil. The guys discuss the Broncos bringing in Peyton Manning after Tim Tebow’s successful season. Should the Broncos draft Taysom Hill 2.0 in Alabama’s quarterback Jalen Milroe? Would Sean Payton be able to maximize Milroe’s skillset at the NFL level? Now that Jokic has missed his second straight game, the guys question if there is something more serious going on with Jokic and his shoulder. Has it been Jokic or the Nuggets coaching staff making Jokic sit out of these games? Who will return to the lineup first between Murray or Jokic? The guys react to NFL.com’s ranking of teams after free agency. Where did the Broncos land on the list? Phil shares why he doesn’t agree with certain teams being ranked ahead of Denver.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into how Coach Prime will impact Shedeur Sanders' draft stock. Will Coach Prime’s brashness rub teams the wrong way? Will teams be able to separate the Sanders name from Shedeur’s production on the field? Where would Shedeur be selected if his last name wasn’t Sanders and where does he stack up to past quarterbacks drafted? Today’s “Three Count” features the anniversary of Peyton Manning deciding to join the Broncos in free agency and a March madness update. We breakdown the extremely odd way the Avalanche lost last night. We hear from Avs coach Jared Bednar and his thoughts on the loss and the positive takeaways from the game. Is there a clear path for Gabe Landeskog return that would make the salary cap work?

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the list of stadiums/arenas in the NFL, MLB and NBA ranked by yelp and google reviews. Where did Colorado’s Coors Field, Ball Arena and Empower Field land on the list? How would we rank these three sports arenas/fields? Should the Broncos draft Taysom Hill 2.0 in Alabama’s quarterback Jalen Milroe? Would Sean Payton be able to maximize Milroe’s skillset at the NFL level? Is it time to be concerned about Jokic missing games due to his injuries? Is Jokic’s rest more important than the Nuggets seeding in the west? How important will it be for the Nuggets to avoid teams like Oklahoma City and Minnesota in the playoffs? The guys react to NFL.com’s ranking of teams after free agency. Where did the Broncos land on the list? Phil shares why he doesn’t agree with certain teams being ranked ahead of Denver.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil question if the Broncos should draft Taysom Hill 2.0 in Jalen Milroe, the former Alabama quarterback. Does Milroe have the skillset that Sean Payton could use as a Swiss army knife? Could the actual Taysom Hill still be a fit for the Broncos or be worth having him in training camp? We pivot to Shedeur Sanders and question if Coach Prime is hurting Shedeur’s draft stock. We hear from Coach Prime and his thoughts on media and teams taking shots at Shedeur. Will teams be able to separate the Sanders name from Shedeur’s production on the field? DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joins the show to discuss the rankings of all NFL, MLB and NBA arenas/stadiums/fields. Where did Ball Arena, Coors Field and Empower Field rank on the list? We wrap up the show with what we learned in Denver sports.
