Draft Day Thread

[Harvitz81]

Great!

KC moves up ahead of the Cards and Lions (two teams not looking for OL) to grab Branden Albert...


GREAT pick, hate the trade up for him.


It was necessary to trade up and get him because some other team would have. Besides they got 2 third rounders from Minnesota and really can't sign 13 draft picks. KC is certainly having the best day so far....

[Corn_3024]

Lets hope Phillips or Johnson are available in round 2.. I really want a safety.

[GridironChamp]

With 30 mil in cap, we could easily afford to sign 13 to 15 draft picks after cuts.

IDK, waiting and grabbing Otah at 17 wouldnt have hurt my feelings so... I got no problem with it though, I assume we gave up a 4th rounder.

[wheats]

Great move by Detroit, move down and still have their choice of WRs

[cvnorton]

I am guessing that Mendenhall goes to the Cards at 16. RB is last piece of the puzzle to a dominating offense. Could take Otah too though.

Wow was I way off but I like the pick though. I forgot they are moving Rolle to S so now they got a high potential CB in the secondary. I agree with most of you though that KC is having the best draft so far.

[kmcgough25]

Why do people count Henry out:confused: Do people not realize or remember that Henry was leading the league in rushing prior to his injury:confused: Oh well I think if he stays healthy this year he will put up 1500 yards with 15 TDs.

I don't know about 1,500 yards, although I'd like to see it....IMO believe we have to have a D that can stop the run for that to happen (ball control).

[BroncFanIN]

Think Mendenhall will go here? Seems Denver(b) needs a RB...

[GridironChamp]

:laugh: Lions are retarded...


Ravens move up for Flacco? Nice.

[TrueDominanceTD]

Think Mendenhall will go here? Seems Denver(b) needs a RB...

Well i was gonna say yes but Baltimore just traded! Sounds like for Flaco

[BroncFanIN]

Well i was gonna say yes but Baltimore just traded! Sounds like for Flaco

wow...Mendenhall is falling...

[Cutler2007]

Maybe all 4 top QBs go before #42 and pushes a good player down to us.

[Cutler2007]

wow...Mendenhall is falling...

Is it worth a 2009 1st rounder to get him?

[kmcgough25]

wow...Mendenhall is falling...

I watched a draft preview and the commentators said he has no blocking skills and tiptoes to the line in close yardage situations.

Two major negatives

[TrueDominanceTD]

wow...Mendenhall is falling...

I was just thinking the same thing. My guess is Dallas will get him and come away with a Major steal.

[thehorsesmouth]

running back in round two! book it!

[Buckin' Bronco]

Lay off with the doom and gloom everyone we NEEDED A OT! Nothing too surprising!

[BroncFanIN]

I was just thinking the same thing. My guess is Dallas will get him and come away with a Major steal.

I think you are right.
Eagles are on the board...they dont need a RB
Tampa doesnt need a RB
Redskins dont need a RB...


Eagles trade! Carolina doesnt need a RB....

[TrueDominanceTD]

I think you are right.
Eagles are on the board...they dont need a RB
Tampa doesnt need a RB
Redskins dont need a RB...


Eagles trade! Carolina doesnt need a RB....

You think that there is any chance that maybe Shanny takes a long hard look at trading their first rounder next year for Dallas' 22 to try and grab Mendenhall? Or perhaps any other team?

[Ohio Broncos]

There's no way Mendenhall falls to us in the 2nd round.

Right?:confused:

[cvnorton]

Is it worth a 2009 1st rounder to get him?

Now that is a damn good question. I guess it would really depend on what our projected needs are for next year and how we feel we will do this year. I didn't like Mendenhall at 12 this year but I surely think he is worthy of being picked 15-20. I guess if we think we will finish this year in good fashion then it might be worth making a few phone calls but I am willing to bet it will take more than our first next year unfortuanately.

[Corn_3024]

I would rather keep our RB's we have now and save our first rounder for next year. If both top safeties are off the board we could grab a tailback round two.

[TrueDominanceTD]

I'm a Kansas fan so I'm happy to see Aqib Talib go at 20. I hope he has a great NFL career.

[wheats]

With all this Mendenhall talk, its easy to forget Felix Jones slipping as well

[Skywalker]

With all this Mendenhall talk, its easy to forget Felix Jones slipping as well

I think Dallas will take him, even over Mendenhall, because of the Jerry Jones/Arkansas connection and whatever

[BroncFanIN]

trade!!!

The skins!!!

oooh!

[Cutler2007]

trade!!!

The skins!!!

oooh!


LOL COULD BE US

[TrueDominanceTD]

trade!!!

The skins!!!

oooh!

Atlanta!? Who are they going after!?

[BroncFanIN]

LOL COULD BE US

nope...Atlanta.
They could take anything...

[cvnorton]

With all this Mendenhall talk, its easy to forget Felix Jones slipping as well

Felix Jones has been projected for months to go to Dallas at 22. Now with Mendenhall available they have a dilemma on their hands. Rumors have it they want to try and trade 28 to Detroit for Roy Williams so we shall soon see if that happens too. I can't imagine T.O. and Roy Williams on the same team.:eek:

Now Washington trades back and Atl moves up:confused:

[BroncFanIN]

Atlanta!? Who are they going after!?

Sam Baker!
Good pick!

Now Dallas has to choose between Jones or Mendenhall.

[Dream]

Baker makes sense due to all the tackles coming and to protect Ryan. This draft is the craziest I've even seen in my life. Wow.

[TrueDominanceTD]

Ok lets see what Jerry Jones is thinkin this year

[Skywalker]

Sam Baker!
Good pick!

I don't know, seems like a bit of a reach for me.

Oh well, who cares? Its Atlanta :laugh:

[cvnorton]

Now I would have to say Sam Baker at 21 is the first HUGE reach IMO this year!!! I figured ATL was going to grab a WR for Ryan to throw too. I guess that is why I'm not an expert LOL

[GridironChamp]

Now I would have to say Sam Baker at 21 is the first HUGE reach IMO this year!!! I figured ATL was going to grab a WR for Ryan to throw too. I guess that is why I'm not an expert LOL

How about Gosdar Cherilus being THE first big reach.

[cvnorton]

How about Gosdar Cherilus being THE first big reach.

You're absolutely correct I totally forgot about Cherilus. Okay Baker is the second big reach. I guess OL is a major priority this draft for many teams. I'm glad we got Clady rather than trading back.:cheers:

[bronco30]

id take mendenhall over felix jones here

[BroncFanIN]

Cowboys pick...Felix Jones! No suprise there...

[BroncFanIN]

The Steelers dont need a RB...think TN might snag Mendenhall? If not, maybe Houston...

[cvnorton]

id take mendenhall over felix jones here

Not me. Not only do they get a great compliment to Marion Barber but they also get the 2007 SEC special teams player of the year so he will be a major asset on ST as well. Good smart pick.

[TrueDominanceTD]

WOW!!! Shanny make a move for Mendenhall! NOW!

[Skywalker]

#!@%. Looks like the Steelers are gonna take Rashard. :mad: :sad:

[cvnorton]

The Steelers dont need a RB...think TN might snag Mendenhall? If not, maybe Houston...

I am thinking Houston as well unless someone else moves up. I am just not so sure that Mendenhall is a one-cut back that Kubiak would like to have but as far as value I think Mendenhall would be the best bang for the buck at 26.

[cvnorton]

#!@%. Looks like the Steelers are gonna take Rashard. :mad: :sad:

With Fast Willie Parker:confused: That would be pretty surprising to me. I am thinking WR here but just not sure who. Maybe Devin Thomas:confused:

[Jaws]

It's good to be able to watch this. First time ever it's been shown live on tv this side of the pond :D

[BroncFanIN]

#!@%. Looks like the Steelers are gonna take Rashard. :mad: :sad:

Steelers dont need a RB...

but they take him anyways!

[bronco30]

kubiak is prolly sad he'd a fit good in texas

[Jaws]

#!@%. Looks like the Steelers are gonna take Rashard. :mad: :sad:

Right on.

Wah :(

[TrueDominanceTD]

Well maybe RB in 2nd
I can dream

[BroncFanIN]

It's good to be able to watch this. First time ever it's been shown live on tv this side of the pond :D

Hi Jawsie! WONDERUL to see you, girl! :beer:

[bronco30]

18 more picks hope will get a DT or safety

[cvnorton]

With Fast Willie Parker:confused: That would be pretty surprising to me. I am thinking WR here but just not sure who. Maybe Devin Thomas:confused:

Wow that to me is a shocker for Pit. No way in hell he takes over as the #1 so what are they going to use him for? Mendenhall is a 3 down back and he MIGHT get some playing time on 3rd down and WHEN Willie is taking a breather. CRAZY!!!

[Cutler2007]

No WRs yet which is a little surprising.

[bronco30]

i say tenn. goes DE from clemson oddom n lavoy left via fa

[Skywalker]

With Fast Willie Parker:confused: That would be pretty surprising to me. I am thinking WR here but just not sure who. Maybe Devin Thomas:confused:

Um, yep. Mendenhall.

Wow that to me is a shocker for Pit. No way in hell he takes over as the #1 so what are they going to use him for? Mendenhall is a 3 down back and he MIGHT get some playing time on 3rd down and WHEN Willie is taking a breather. CRAZY!!!

I win. :mad:

[Skywalker]

Right on.

Wah :(

Hey Jaws! How've you been? :D

[cvnorton]

No WRs yet which is a little surprising.

I have been telling people for awhile that this is the weakest WR class in recent memory. I always thought Jackson would fall out of the first round and he very well might. Deion Sanders seems to think if Dallas doesn't trade 28 for Roy Williams then they might take DJ though. I would love to see that because I hate Dallas:rockon:

[Jaws]

Hi Jawsie! WONDERUL to see you, girl! :beer:

GREAT to be here. :beer:

Is your little girl watching the draft with you, or is she slightly too young? ;)

[Harvitz81]

Guess the Chris Henry from last year experiment is done for Tenn...lol

[bronco30]

gr8 back up to white fast as heck to....

[cvnorton]

Um, yep. Mendenhall.



I win. :mad:


You called that one!!! Props to you.

[Jaws]

Hey Jaws! How've you been? :D

Not bad at all. Hope you're putting your choke enforcing skills to good use to make sure our AFC West rivals all make crappy picks and all the good players come to Denver ;) :D

[Dream]

Dang, there went my second favorite player in the draft. Good luck in Tennessee, Chris!

[Cutler2007]

Balmer or trade down here for the Sea Chickens

[Skywalker]

You called that one!!! Props to you.

Yeah, but I wish I was wrong about it. :(



:sad:

[bronco30]

hawks will take keller TE imo...

[Skywalker]

Not bad at all. Hope you're putting your choke enforcing skills to good use to make sure our AFC West rivals all make crappy picks and all the good players come to Denver ;) :D

I have failed Jaws, as the Chiefs have been doing good. I must be bummed out about Rashard that my Force-choking skills are not working today. :(

[Jaws]

I have failed Jaws, as the Chiefs have been doing good. I must be bummed out about Rashard that my Force-choking skills are not working today. :(

Aww, still a long way to go though.

I'm enjoying seeing the Faiders with no picks till tomorrow.

[cvnorton]

I have a sneaky feeling that Houston is taking DJ since there aren't any worthy RB left and they lost KR Mathis. I don't know why I feel like that I just do.

[Cutler2007]

Wow what a run on OTs...making Clady pick look better and better (still wish we could have dropped down a bit). OT was the way to go in the first for us.

[cvnorton]

Holy crap ANOTHER OT:eek: Man am I glad we got Clady when we did or we would have ended up with a major reach at OT.

[cvnorton]

Does SD take the first WR this year? I love seeing DJ free falling:cheers:

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

I wonder if they take Anthony Collins and set the record for most OTs in the 1st Round. He's the last of the top end guys.

[TrueDominanceTD]

Anyone else know that the Dolts don't pick again until 160th overall?

[jcdavey]

Anyone else know that the Dolts don't pick again until 160th overall?we got chambers in the 2nd and weddle in the 3rd...well worth it :cheers:

[GridironChamp]

we got chambers in the 2nd and weddle in the 3rd...well worth it :cheers:

:laugh:

I hope that was a joke.

[TrueDominanceTD]

we got chambers in the 2nd and weddle in the 3rd...well worth it :cheers:

Ah that is true

[Cutler2007]

Have to think someone may jump up for another QB.

[jcdavey]

:laugh:

I hope that was a joke.you don't think chris chambers is worth a 2nd rounder? okie doke lol

[Cutler2007]

Jackson...I like it, lets get a run on DEs and push every else down to us.

[bronco30]

wow big surprise there from the hawks...49ers r gunna take a WR right now imo

[GridironChamp]

you don't think chris chambers is worth a 2nd rounder? okie doke lol

Not anymore... a few years ago yes, not now.

And Weddle isnt worth a 3rd.

[cvnorton]

Jackson before Merling:confused: Alrighty then I guess for our sake I like the pick:rockon:

[Skywalker]

we got chambers in the 2nd and weddle in the 3rd...well worth it :cheers:

I still hate you guys for getting Weddle. :mad:

[GridironChamp]

I liked the highlight for Jackson... It showed 3 coverage sacks and a real half a sack :laugh:

Balmer, nice pick from the niners.

[bronco30]

packers gunna take a cb right now

[cvnorton]

Jets traded up......Chad Henne or Brian Brohm:confused:

[crazybronco]

think qb or wr for jets

[GridironChamp]

Jets traded up......Chad Henne or Brian Brohm:confused:

Gotta be Brohm... Henne blows.

[cvnorton]

packers gunna take a cb right now

They traded back but with Woodson and Harris you think they would take another CB:confused: I don't know much about the Pack but after seeing what I have this year nothing would surprise me!!!

[cvnorton]

Gotta be Brohm... Henne blows.

I'm with you on this one:salute: The Jets are going to have a TON of $$$ tied up in QBs with Pennington, Clemons, and know possibly Brohm or Henne!!! I could also see WR here as well to compliment Coles and Cotchery.

[bronco30]

im quittin predicting havent gotten 1 right yet...

[Corn_3024]

Still two safeties left I'd love to have...fingers crossed.

[bronco30]

giants last hope for a wr in 1st rd....

[GridironChamp]

This draft is great... :laugh:

[cvnorton]

I don't see NYG taking a WR so this is the first draft I can ever remember without a 1st round WR EVER. Does anyone know if that has ever happened before?

[bronco30]

I don't see NYG taking a WR so this is the first draft I can ever remember without a 1st round WR EVER. Does anyone know if that has ever happened before?

its never happened before

[Broncs4life75]

I cannot ever remember that happening!

[bronco30]

12 picks a way hope we get a dt or safety

[crazybronco]

no wr in the first wow

[bronco30]

that keeps the streak alive for miami hurricanes 1st rd pick i believe 7 yrs in a row

[Skywalker]

I cannot ever remember that happening!

On ESPN they said it happened in 1990

[TrueDominanceTD]

Chris Berman just said the last time no WR in first round was in 1990

[TrueDominanceTD]

On ESPN they said it happened in 1990

Ha yeah dang beat me to it

[Skywalker]

Huh, guess they do like John Beck. I thought Miami would take Brohm or Henne.

[BroncFanIN]

10 picks to the Broncos :beer:

Just over an hour, we will know who the second pick is... (70 minutes)

[cvnorton]

Miami and KC are both having great drafts so far. Merling IMO is a steal in the second even though he is not all that great at pass rushing but they need to replace Taylor at some point. Good pick up.

[bronco30]

the 1st wr is donnie avery holy smokes

[cvnorton]

Donnie Avery first WR selected:confused: What happened to Thomas, Sweed, Jackson, and Hardy?

[Cutler2007]

Wow 1st WR is a big reach.

[bronco30]

the wr's will b goin now good pick 4 the skins

[Skywalker]

Wow 1st WR is a big reach.

Especially with Thomas, Sweed, Kelly and Jackson there. :eek:

What's up with Houston guys getting picked way early? Kolb last year, Avery this year.

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

Kansas city could go with a WR as well. Big run on WRs might happen now.

[Harvitz81]

KC is killing this draft.....

[GridironChamp]

Flowers... Great pick. Perfect cover 2 CB.

[bronco30]

good pick for kc to good cb

[cvnorton]

KC is killing this draft.....

Dorsey, Albert, and now Flowers!!! A++++++++++++ for KC:sad:

[Skywalker]

Why did it have to be an AFC West team having the best draft so far? :mad:

[bronco30]

maybe hardy sweed or jackson fall to us

[AdamantiumBronco]

get Kelly or laws!!

[cvnorton]

maybe hardy sweed or jackson fall to us

With Avery and now Nelson going before those 3 maybe we really don't want one of those guys!!!

[TrueDominanceTD]

maybe hardy sweed or jackson fall to us

Hmm any one of them would be a nice 2nd round pick for us. Ray Rice could be another possibility.

[Harvitz81]

If Desean Jackson is there at 42 do we take him?

[bronco30]

im afraid ravens 49ers n bills will each take a wr crapppp

[cvnorton]

If Desean Jackson is there at 42 do we take him?

I say so even though he is a Devin Hester type of player but I sure as hell would take Hester in the 2nd!!! DJ will only return kicks and run fly routes and screens as a pro IMO but his return potential is worth it to me.

[lvbronx]

Dorsey, Albert, and now Flowers!!! A++++++++++++ for KC:sad:

This has to be counter-balanced by the fact they gave up Jared Allen to get the extra picks.

Let's be honest, we could trade Cutler and Champ for some #1s, and we'd have the best draft in the NFL.

Because they gave up their best player for picks, I think their draft should have an *.

Anyone...Who are the best DTs left? Seems we are in pretty good shape to get one of the second tier DTs.

[Cutler2007]

Crap Lofton gone

[Freestyle]

get Kelly or laws!!
Yes. Get Laws.

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

I think we have to take a DT or Safety if any of the top guys (Trevor Laws, Tyrell Johnson, DaJuan Morgan, or Dre Moore are available). Remember, we don't have any safeties on our roster signed after this coming season.


I think both James Hardy and Limas Sweed are steals at this point in time. If we *really* want a return guy, DeSean Jackson is the only one of the top WRs that brings that element.


My big board for our 2nd Round pick as of this moment is:


1. Trevor Laws
2. Tyrell Johnson
3. DaJuan Morgan
4. James Hardy
5. Limas Sweed
6. DeSean Jackson
7. Dre Moore
8. Curtis Lofton
9. Tavares Gooden
10. Josh Barrett

[bronco30]

Yes. Get Laws.

or dre moore from maryland

[GridironChamp]

The only person that they got via the trade was Branden Albert...

Even without Albert they still have an "A" caliber draft, its just not as good looking.

We have to wait until KC picks with the two third rounders they got from the trade to dertimine HOW bad the trade the was.

[BroncFanIN]

4 picks to Denver!

Balt just traded...to the Seahawks.

[Corn_3024]

I still want Tyrelle Johnson..only a few picks left..

[lvbronx]

They should have an "A", they have a top 5 pick. Every team in the top 5 has had a good draft, IMO.

And, they drafted Albert with a pick they got from Minn.

[bronco30]

I still want Tyrelle Johnson..only a few picks left..

yah him or morgan b nice

[GridironChamp]

They should have an "A", they have a top 5 pick. Every team in the top 5 has had a good draft, IMO.

The Chiefs are the only team with an A from Kiper that picked in the top 5.

[bronco30]

safety or dt plzzz shanny

[Corn_3024]

Two more picks in the way...please fall Tyrelle...

[lvbronx]

The Chiefs are the only team with an A from Kiper that picked in the top 5.

...And, Kiper included Albert in the A grade.

Like I said, we could have traded Cutler and Champ to get extra #1s or move up...I'll repeat one more time: Since the cheifs gave up their best player to get Albert, they need an * beside their draft.

If someone wants to give them an A+ for the draft, that's fine. But that must be countered by an F for offseason veteran moves by giving up one of the 2-3 best DEs in the NFL.

Read this slowly because its not registering to you...

The draft is an A without Albert, both picks were GRADED A by Kiper. (Albert got a B because he was like 32nd on Kipers board).

And you cant put any * beside anything because we got more picks for Jared Allen than just hte first rounder.


Dorsey - A
Albert - B
Flowers - A
Overall - A

Somehow, I fail to see Albert helping out Kipers grading scale when he got the LOWEST grade. I dont agree, I think every pick is an A from this draft. And the offseason is a C+ to a B- so far, but you seem to not realize we have TWO MORE PICKS from Minnesota.

[bronco30]

Two more picks in the way...please fall Tyrelle...

he'll b there but wil shanny take him i hope yes

[Cutler2007]

Sweed is my best value pick.

[Max Power]

Denver's almost on the clock!

I say Buffalo takes a WR here.

[bronco30]

tyrelle or dre moore i like either 1

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

This is an insane draft.


We are going to have a perfect situation for our 2nd round pick as well. We get our choice out of some very good safeties, DTs, WRs, and LBs.


I can NOT wait, to see what Shanahan does. He has to take Laws.

[Max Power]

Laws would be disappointing with some of the WR's available.

[TrueDominanceTD]

I'm gonna say Ray Rice or Trevor Laws at 42

[GridironChamp]

Laws would be disappointing with some of the WR's available.

Laws would be disappointing anyway because my 3 year old cousing could jump over him.

[bronco30]

here we go dont blow it shanny dt or safety plzzzz

[Max Power]

Bills select James Hardy. Good pick.

[GridironChamp]

James Hardy :laugh:

This draft is great.


I hope Shanny keeps up the surprises.

[Cutler2007]

Laws should be the pick, but it makes too much sense.

[Max Power]

DeSean Jackson please!

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

Laws would be disappointing anyway because my 3 year old cousing could jump over him.


Yeah, because Laws is the same size as Glenn Dorsey. So, your 3 year old will be jumping over him as well, right?

[GridironChamp]

C'mon Shanny dont fail with the surprises!!!!! :rockon:



AND ITS



EDDIE ROYAL :laugh:


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[broncosgrrrl]

Two draft picks... ESPN and NFLN both went to commercial both times... ***??

And read this s l o w l y...

Kiper didn't account for you losing Allen. Kiper only deals with the draft, not trades.

I did. If you want to blow off the impact Jared Allen had on your team, go for it. I prefer reality.

The simple truth is, your chiefs haven't improved all that much over the last few days, not as much as everyone is pretending. You can live in denial all you want, but you must account for the loss of Jared Allen.

Let the Broncos draft their #2, then we'll compare:
Our #1 and #2 PLUS Robertson
vs.
cheifs #1 + #1 +#2 MINUS Allen

REALITY is, we're hanging in with the cheifs when ALL things are considered.

Enough cheifs...It's Bronco time (and a Bronco board).

[rockrules40]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

if ur gonna get a kick returner get fing DeSean Jackson!!!

[BroncFanIN]

eddie royal, WR :salute:

ahh...punt returner!

[cnickel84]

Mike Shannhan is officially an absolute idiot. Eddie Royal? You are a damn joke Mike Shannhan.... another reciever? You can officially go to hell in my book. Thanks for killing this team you jacka*s!

[bronco30]

does he know we have no safetys signed next yr n dt is a need....screwed it upp

[Cutler2007]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

if ur gonna get a kick returner get fing DeSean Jackson!!!

At least Eddie can catch...can we all admit that shanny is not very good at this drafting thing.

No one is blowing off Allenn, I dislike the Chiefs more since they traded Allen. Thing that you dont understand is... The Chiefs are getting closer and closer to better than last year if you consider DeMarrio Williams, BJ Sams as a return man, Albert, Dorsey, and now Flowers compared to just losing Allen. Not to mention YOU STILL DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT FOR ALLEN WE STILL GET 2 MORE PICKS COMING MY WAY, are you that slow?

Chiefs 1+1+2+3+3 - Allen > Broncos 1+2+Robertson.

You are right.

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

Well, Eddie Royal makes sense. We needed slot depth and an electric KR/PR.


I thought he was a 2nd Rounder, but it's odd not taking a safety or DT, or even DeSean Jackson, over Royal.


Good player, great person, fits a need for us. But I think better players at more important needs were on the board. Still, I can't boo the pick. I like Eddie Royal and our return game is massively better now.

[kmcgough25]

Eddie Eddie Eddie!!!!

I know it's not right, but I just have to say it.

Deseaun Jackson, Bwahhhh Haaa Haa Haaa

Guess some people guessing at pick #12 were a tad bit wrong!!

[racerzeke]

Oh yea shanny is horrible at drafting!!! (go back to 2006, buddy):goofy:

[JayCutler06]

Mike Shannhan is officially an absolute idiot. Eddie Royal? You are a damn joke Mike Shannhan.... another reciever? You can officially go to hell in my book. Thanks for killing this team you jacka*s!



I agree shanny should a taken the kid from cal if he wanted a punt returner

[crazybronco]

lol 1 pick thats kinda bad eveyones back to shanny is an idiot.. only time can tell

[bronco30]

well we have depth at wr now thats for sure....to bad they dont stop the run shany u putz

[CHINESECHICKEN]

royals a great pickup u guys are tards i think shanny knows what hes doin more then u do so thanx for the input NOT!!!!!

[GridironChamp]

Yeah, because Laws is the same size as Glenn Dorsey. So, your 3 year old will be jumping over him as well, right?

Laws 6'0" 300 lbs
Dorsey 6'2" 318lbs

Not so much.

[Corn_3024]

In Shanny we trust. Jackson has attitude issues...big reason a lot of teams will pass on him.

[Cutler2007]

Should have taken that trade down Philly got, Eddie would have lasted 5 more picks.

[GridironChamp]

royals a great pickup u guys are tards i think shanny knows what hes doin more then u do so thanx for the input NOT!!!!!

He is alright in the third round with hardly any WRs left on the board... Not when 3 of the top 5 WRs are still avialable.

[Harvitz81]

There is a reason the Desean Jackson is being passed on. I've read many times of his attitude and not great work ethic. Eddie Royal will drastically help our return game, which in turn helps field position and both the offense and defense. No complaining over this pick.

[stnzed]

Shanahan should just trade his 2nd round pick every year, Tony Scheffler is not worth all the busts that come along with the rest of the picks......

[lvbronx]

Wow you are really really slow....

You are right.

You can't talk football without personal insults? And I'm "slow".

I know you have two more picks. And picks are just that, they are picks. Talk to me when the picks are of equal-greater value that Allen.

Or are you nostradumbass and can foretell the future and have already decided that they'll all work out?

You won't be better THIS year. And it's 50/50 AT BEST that you'll improve down the road more that you would have with Allen. Worse now. Coin flip in the future.

My final comment to you...Quit talking out of both sides of your mouth. You said you dislike the cheifs more since they got rid of Allen, but then say how they are getting better with the picks they got in the trade. So you don't want your team to get better? Or, is the truth that you don't feel they are REALLY getting better?

You had the first comment on this subject, and I countered your post. Be a grown up and don't demand both the first and last comment and move on.

[bronco30]

hopefully he'll turn into a wes welker type good returner n slot guy if stokley gets hurt...hes def. fast enough

[Prodigal19]

Eddie Royal is just as good of a returner as Jackson. He is also a much harder worker and better character. His QBs sucked at VTech and he was misused so he didnt get to show his full potential. Not a bad pick but I still would've preferred Laws or Conner.

[broncosgrrrl]

We have not had a decent kick returner in ages... he looks to have some Hesterish potential....

Because your a brick wall, you dont seem to understand anything. you would say 2+2=5 and argue that for at least 10 years.

I could be like you and just write off all the picks, or I could wait and see... I know which option you've gone, and I'll go the opposite.

The Chiefs will be better this year. Our LBs are better, our CBs our better, our OL is better, and we have a starting RB all year. Yes we are probably a worse on the DL, yet we did attempt to make up for with drafting Glen Dorsey. Improve in 4 spots and get worse in 1? That makes us a worse team?

I dislike KC because they traded away Allen and I like him, yet i think the Chiefs after this whole offseason + draft are better. I know you dont understand, so just quit responding.

If you want to stop talking either A) just do it or B) realize your not going to put your opinion in a post then ask for it to stop.

[Dean]

an didn't spend a second round pick solely for his return ability. Mike must think that Royal can play a role as a receiver for the Broncos.

Does that mean there is doubt about Marshal making it back for the start of the season?

[bronco30]

wtg philly gr8 pick u bet...

[GridironChamp]

Jerome Simpson has fly traps for hands.

OK, we'll keep it going.

Our safties are better.

Our LBs are better.

Our DL is better.

Our OL is better.

Our WR are better.

...And, I haven't even gotten to the draft yet.

Plus, you don't have a QB. Get back to me when you get a QB. You know the NFL is a QB dominated league and with few exceptions, you need a very good QB to been a contender year in and year out...And once you do draft a good QB, it will be a couple of years for that QB to mature....Talk to me then.

I requested that you have some integrity...That's my fault. You obviously won't be content until you have both the first word and the last word on the subject.

You said:
<<realize your not going to put your opinion in a post then ask for it to stop>>

Same to you. We'll keep this going forever, as you wish. You had the first word. I'll have the last word. Your turn.

Kirk Herbstreit said in the pre-draft show that Royal was his choice for WR. Herbstreit's opinion is as good as any one else's.

cheefs draft*

1) Everything orange is a lie

2) Who is arguing what team is better? I think I said the Chiefs are having the best draft, then you turned it into a Broncos vs Chiefs offseason thread and after the draft KC is killing Denver.

3) I know Denver is better, I know KC isnt that good but your ignorance is unbelievable. YOu turned a draft thread into a Denver vs KC argument in which you are the lone loser argueing about which team is better.

Go ahead have your last word, keep talking about Chiefs vs Broncos I could care less... If you ever get back to the Cheifs draft being a A+ and Denvers being a F or a D then I'll respond. Until then, The Chiefs have had the best draft, the Chiefs have made up for losing Allen, and the Chiefs will be better this offseason. Also Denver is still better than KC, no arguement here but you apperently think I did.

[Max Power]

Wow Washington is loading up on receivers.

[moto4669]

Eagles did a great job with Desean and Laws...

[cvnorton]

I think Eddie Royal is a better pick than Desean Jackson for a few reasons.

1) Royal is LESS likely to get hurt the first time a NFL LB hits him on a KR (DJ is likely to snap in half at 169 lbs)
2) Royal has a MUCH better attitude

3) Royal has a MUCH better work ethic

4) Both Jackson and Royal will be used mainly in slot situations but more so as kick returners and Royal is just as good of a Returner as Jackson

Now having said all of that I do think we filled a major need in getting a viable return man that we have so dearly missed for many years BUT, I agree with most of you that there were better players at HIGHER needs than WR at 42. All in all I am very satisfied with our first 2 selections today. I would really like to get Owen Schmidt in the 4th if he's there when we pick.

[Max Power]

Lions took RB Kevin Smith with the 1st pick of the 3rd round.

[bronco30]

i hope we either trade up or one of the dt's keep droppin we need another 1...

[BRich]

Chiefs continue to pick apart this draft with Jamaal Charles

[Skywalker]

There goes Pat Sims to the Bengals.

[bronco30]

pat sims say good bye to him cincy bound

[bronco30]

only 26 more its flyin bye boyss

[GridironChamp]

WOW, KC had the best first 3 picks and 3 of the worst picks i've ever seen in my life...

Brad Cottam? 21 career receptions
Jamaal Charles? Alright, maybe BPA so livable and he is real good
DeJuan Morgan? WE HAVE NO NEED FOR A SAFTY, wasted pick.

[Skywalker]

I thought the Charles pick was okay, but I agree with you on the other two. Who did you want?

[GridironChamp]

Early Doucet with the Cottam pick and Anthony Collins or Carl Nicks with the Morgan pick.


Justin King and Tyvonn Branch woulda been nice too.




The Jamaal Charles pick is alright, just not if you pair it up with 2 more back-ups in the third round.

Doucet was there when they took Cottam? Wow, that sucks :eek:

[GridironChamp]

Yeah it does... Maybe I'm missing something, idk... :confused:

[Skywalker]

Dang, the Texans took Slaton. Good pick for them, I was hoping he'd slip a bit and we could get him in the 4th.

[GridironChamp]

Yeah it really was,


Him and Chris Brown to split carries with 14 other guys. :rockon:

[RunYouOver]

Tashard Choice is the best RB left, and after that it's a big fall off...I think we need to trade up now to get him. It wouldn't cost us much at this point and Choice could be great.

[Orange Cru$h]

The Bears picks look like something we would have liked to do. If we had the picks.

[GridironChamp]

Did I miss when Kevin Smith went?

I woke up a bit late, so i didnt see all the picks.

[Orange Cru$h]

If Mario Manningham is still around would it be possible to skip DT and pick another WR?

[Skywalker]

Did I miss when Kevin Smith went?

I woke up a bit late, so i didnt see all the picks.

He was the first pick of the 3rd round, the Lions traded up with Miami to take him :salute:

Please no.

[GridironChamp]

He was the first pick of the 3rd round, the Lions traded up with Miami to take him :salute:

Alright, so yeah I agree Choice and Washington are the only 2 RBs left I like much...

Besides Omon but he is a 6th or 7th rounder.

[LarryDean]

Alright, so yeah I agree Choice and Washington are the only 2 RBs left I like much...

Im still holding out for EInc pick Jalen Parmele, Toledo

[Orange Cru$h]

We for sure do not need Mario but he seems like the best player on the board. I think he will do well in the NFL. If the Broncos did not pick up Samie Parker I would say we would go for him. Now we just need to go for who we NEED.

[Mat'hir Uth Gan]

I thought they were all three superb picks.


Morgan could be the best Safety in this draft. He's a superb player.

Cottam should be a very good blocking TE and at 6'7, a great red zone target.

Charles is a nice change up to Johnson and Smith.





I love your entire draft to this point.

[Skywalker]

We for sure do not need Mario but he seems like the best player on the board. I think he will do well in the NFL. If the Broncos did not pick up Samie Parker I would say we would go for him. Now we just need to go for who we NEED.

There goes Manningham to the Giants.



:D

[Orange Cru$h]

Mario goes to the Giants.
Who's the best DT's left?
Choice would be a pick if he is still there in the fourth.

[RunYouOver]

Keep falling Tashard Choice....keep falling.

[GridironChamp]

Mario goes to the Giants.
Who's the best DT's left?
Choice would be a pick if he is still there in the fourth.

Dre Moore, Marcus Harrison, Frank Okam are just a few I know off the top of my head.

[Skywalker]

Dre Moore, Marcus Harrison, Frank Okam are just a few I know off the top of my head.

Harrison went to the Bears at #90. But I would love Moore or Okam in the 4th.....and it'd be great if Choice falls :D

[GridironChamp]

Harrison went to the Bears at #90. But I would love Moore or Okam in the 4th.....and it'd be great if Choice falls :D

Ah, screw the Bears...

Oh well, Harrison was highly over rated IMO.

[Nick]

I am surprised moore has dropped so far.

Few I like.

Dre Moore, Maryland
Frank Okam, Texas
DeMario Pressley, N.C. State
Red Bryant, Texas A&M
Jason Shirley, Fresno State (Only in the 7th)
Letroy Guion, Florida State (if in the 7th but only if in 7th)

[Harvitz81]

Moore is still on the board and Rubin and Okam. Also, Adibi has fallen and can immediate impact ST and possibly take over at WILL should DJ leave next year

[Harvitz81]

I am surprised moore has dropped so far.

Dre Moore, Maryland
Frank Okam, Texas
DeMario Pressley, N.C. State
Red Bryant, Texas A&M

Letroy Guion, Florida State (if in the 7th but only if in 7th)

Ahh, forgot about Pressley. Would be a great addition....We could have Elvis Pressley on our D-line :D

[Nick]

Raiders traded up with Cowboys

Edit:

Selection is Tyvon Branch corner?

[LarryDean]

Chris Carter tells the people of Atlanta about Matt Ryan let the black/white thing go...

I would say that is good advice..

[RunYouOver]

Raiders traded up with Cowboys

This is what I don't understand, if you trade up that means you know who you want right?

Why are they still running the 5 minutes all the way down.


They take Tyvon Branch, CB, UConn

[Peerless]

I hope Frank Okam falls to us.

[RunYouOver]

Ahh, forgot about Pressley. Would be a great addition....We could have Elvis Pressley on our D-line :D

:laugh:

I'd want him for that reason alone! :laugh:

[RunYouOver]

Rams take another corner, Justin King...so it looks like we won't take a CB until the 5th round at least.

6 picks to go until us.

[GridironChamp]

That sucks...

KC passes on CBs/KR for Cottam and Morgan, then both Branch and King go a few picks before them... :sad:

[bronx_2003]

is tashard choice a rb?

worth taking or is moore/okam a better bet?

[Nick]

Stupid Ravens! I was really high on Oniel Cousins.

Offensive Tackles

Kirk Barton, Ohio State

Will be great in a zone blocking system.

and

Tony Hills, Texas

If drops he is worth a look at and should be able to atleast attribute to special teams.

I really want to see our broncos grab an additional Tackle, preferably some one that could also be moved to guard if needed. This will add depth on our line. Increase competition. Also help on special teams.

And

Drew Miller, Florida could be a sleeper in the 7th... played all of the place and could be a hybrid center/guard/tackle, might be a decent guard for a team. Not sure about this guy though.

Guards

Donald Thomas, Connecticut
Adam Kraus, Michigan
Kirk Elder, Texas A&M

Running Backs

Chauncey Washington, USC
Tashard Choice, Georgia Tech

Wide reciever

William Franklin, Missouri
Mark Bradford, Stanford

Defensive Tackle

Dre Moore, Maryland
Frank Okam, Texas
DeMario Pressley, N.C. State
Red Bryant, Texas A&M
Jason Shirley, Fresno State (want the Broncos to consider him late in the draft.)
Letroy Guion, Florida State (if in the 7th but only if in 7th)

Inside Linebacker

Beau Bell, UNLV
Corey McKeon, Nebraska

Outside Linebacker

Ali Highsmith, LSU
Bryan Kehl, BYU
Ezra Butler, Nevada
Marcus Howard, Georgia
Erin Henderson, Maryland
Xavier Adibi, Virginia Tech
Marcus Howard, Georgia
Bryan Kehl, BYU

I will not mind any of these guys if they drop into the very late rounds.

Safety

Josh Barrett, SS, Arizona State
Marcus Griffin, FS, Texas

Fullback

Peyton Hillis, Arkansas
Owen Schmitt, West Virginia
Jerome Felton

And some kicker or punter... who ever is better and they like... And that will kick it far and accurate and stuff...




OUR PICK IS ALMOST THERE!

[Skywalker]

is tashard choice a rb?

worth taking or is moore/okam a better bet?

Yeah, Choice is a RB out of Georgia Tech.

And I think Okam or Moore could fall to 119....maybe....

[RunYouOver]

1) Tashard Choice
2) Pressley
3) Bryant
4) Moore
5) Adibi
6) Beau Bell
7) Marcus Griffin


We can go O-Line or D-Line 11 picks later too, if we want to take a RB here.

I say we taken Owen Scmitt with our next pick not this one.

If we go RB here, then I say we go D-Line later in the 4th, and hope for Schmitt in the 5th.

[Nick]

That sucks...

KC passes on CBs/KR for Cottam and Morgan, then both Branch and King go a few picks before them... :sad:

I like choice. Tough runner.

[RunYouOver]

Yeah, Choice is a RB out of Georgia Tech.

And I think Okam or Moore could fall to 119....maybe....

Okam may fall to us in the 5th.

[LarryDean]

DT Dre Moore is off the board...

[bronx_2003]

Yeah, Choice is a RB out of Georgia Tech.

And I think Okam or Moore could fall to 119....maybe....

are ppl still high on scmitt (sp), the FB?

i don't believe we need a fb or rb yet, moore or okam would be great, i'm quite a big okam fan but don't know much on dre moore

any kickers worth taking yet, we could do with a good young one

[Skywalker]

Okam may fall to us in the 5th.

Sweet. :D :rockon:

[Harvitz81]

That sucks...

[Nick]

DT Dre Moore is off the board...

ARGH!

,,,,,,,,,

[GridironChamp]

Jeeze, C'mon Titans.

If your gonna use all 5 mins at least make a pick that i know! :salute:

[RunYouOver]

Titans draft Williams Hayes, DE.

There's 4 picks to go, and all 7 on my wishlist are still there.

[BroncosFan0226]

DT Dre Moore is off the board...

no he is still on the board

[Nick]

Cle traded up with the boys...

[Skywalker]

DT Dre Moore is off the board...

Uh, when? :confused:

[bronx_2003]

Okam

Okam

Okam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GridironChamp]

Ah! Screw Cleveland...

I really liked Beau Bell.
