Broncos Country was ecstatic about the Broncos agreeing in principle to a trade for Russell Wilson. According to The Denver Post’s poll of readers, as of 10:30 a.m. Wednesday 69% gave the Broncos an “A” grade for the trade.
But how does the move look outside Colorado? Here’s a look at how national media outlets graded it:
CBS Sports (Broncos’ grade: A): “It’ll be easier to replace (Shelby) Harris and (Noah) Fant than it would be to find a future Hall of Fame quarterback in this year’s free agency or the draft, and we’ve seen how Denver drafts/scouts quarterback prospects (yuck), so it doesn’t matter how many picks they gave up, because if they might’ve used them the wrong way anyway, they might as well roll the dice on a still-primed All-Pro at the most important position in football,” Patrik Walker writes.
