Denver gettin Darren McFadden?

[Rollo]

I thought of a great trade situation we should do.

Trade: Travis Henry
2nd round pick
4th Round pick
(Unnamed player?)

For: (in draft)
Darren McFadden and 3rd round pick from (a low pick team(4th or 5th))

[SBboundBRONCOS]

i dont even want McFadden anymore considering we have Henry back and that both Hall and Young have shown signs of being very capable RBs.

i want Kenny Phillips now :rockon: or a great OLB in the 2nd round

[HurricaneDovs]

i want Kenny Phillips now

here here!!

[RIP#27#29]

That would be sweet to have McFadden on the Broncos! He reminds me of LT...making jukes and throwing TDs. But the guy is so tall! Would he make it at RB in the NFL? I see McFadden being a 2nd round pick...could be a long shot for the broncos to get him. But the chance is there.

[Geandily]

The day the Broncos draft a runningback in the 1st round is the day I kill msyelf

Ohh yah... because Travis Henry's stock is sky high about now. :rolleyes:

And a fourth round pick plus a 2nd round would hardly move you up at all in the top ten picks of the draft. And as it sits we aren't even in position to make it to 12 with just that. But as if it wasn't enough, we are supposed to get a third round pick back??? :doh:

I understand the man crush on McFadden, but really?

1) This would belong in the draft/free agent forum.

2) This trade isn't in the least bit realistic.

3) It is somewhat important that McFadden is not the typically one cut rb. His size and lack of bulk would be a concern. I'm not saying he will not be a star, in all likeliness he will be. Just not in this system. We need a bruiser. Davis / Portis style. Not a L.T. shifty kinda guy. Our line is too small to over power d-lines all the time, that's why a big rb with power to get the extra few yards is so important. Personally, I am more interested in McFadden's back up (Forgot his name). He is more our style rb, and he wouldn't command all our first day picks to acquire! :P

felix jones . . . . . he would be very good, although i think we have it shored up now with henry young and hall

and yes this situation is highly improbable and nowhere close to realistic in the first place but do we even have any 4th rounder this year:confused:

take phillips in the first then a big strong DT in the 2nd not just some fatty or a LB in the second Beau Bell looks real good. then whatever you didnt take LB or DT in the third and finally maybe finish up with a blazing WR later in the rounds to keep up as a major deep threat but thats just my preference there . . . . i love speed

See Adrian Peterson, knock on him he ran to up right, ie tall. Leads the leauge in rushing. McFadden will be a talented RB. Will he so what AP did this year? IDK, but what I do know is that McFadden will not be a Bronco. Its just not what they need and would be imposible to trade to get him. Unless of course you are playing Madden.

2nd round? If he'd fall to the second round and we didn't trade up to grab him, I would seriously consider calling up the local asylum and having our FO sent there. He's widely considered one of the top 2-3 players in the draft this year.

[The|Snake#16]

1st round we should acquire Okam, 2nd we get Adibi, 3rd should be Steltz, 4th should be Bess.

DARREN MCFADDEN WONT FIX WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!




nick.......good post we are paying henry a big contract. now that he is healthy and focused i say we give the guy a break and see if he can handle the load......let him earn his contract and play.





Our team needs defense not a running back. if we dont get a DT,LB, or safety in the first RD, the draft was a waste!!!!!!!!!!



also Mcfadden wont be as good as you all think!!!!!! mark my words on dec 7 2007 at 0952 am by elevation inc

Yeah you wish.

We'd pretty much have to give up all our draft picks this year and probably some more if we wanted to move up to get Darren.

[Peerless]

Do we want to turn into the Colts of a couple years back?

All offense, no defense?


Henry has won his appeal, and he's going to be a Denver Bronco.

I'll bet he'll be the starting running back for us next year. Travis and all of us are going to forget about this year, and pretend like it never happened.


With the lack of playmakers at Safety and OLB and even DT, you can't focus on a position that is really fine.

I agree 100%.

This is a very very bad trade situation IMO. Not that it would not be good for us... but no other team is going to do that.

Travis Henry is not going to be worth to much... because of past, injury, and why grab him over McFadden?

So lets give Travis Henry a mid 2nd round grade (400 points) which is very generous. Our 2nd round pick which is #44 as of right now (460 points) and a 4th round pick (78 points).

He will be #1 overall or #2 overall. Lets say we trade with the Pats at #2 overall. That is worth 2600 points. You also want a 3rd round pick?

It seems to me you still need to give up 1662 points.. :coffee:

[91bronco]

We can't trade or cut Henry anytime soon- it doesn't make sense financially (we'd take a big cap hit when we're already limited on funds for the offseason).

For the love of god people- WE ARE NOT DRAFTING MCFADDEN!!! :rolleyes:

[Nick]

I like to add on my above post... if you did that. You could probably move up with our #12 pick and next years number 1. That is not worth it what so ever. I rather have the Pats have Mcfadden then all of that.

BLASPHEMY!


;)

[hardcorebronco]

But are the Pats willing to give up on the whole "Maroney" experiment already? And please don't tell me they want him as a change of pace back. You don't use two first round picks on that. ;)

However, can you really pass up on a player like that? Hmm... what a problem lol...

What if they throw in Ian Gold?......

[Nick]

He should get about 1500 :D

:laugh:

[kratos_godofwar]

LOL, this isn't madden. To get a top 5 draft pick, you'll have to give up another first rounder to get him. There's no way any team in top 5 would trade down that low unless they get a Ditka offer.

[DENdynasty07]

i don't think we should be wasting high draft picks on running backs, when we have 1,000 yd rushers every year regardless. i still think we should get jordon dizon out of colorado...

[Dream]

Could you all PLEASE stop talking about getting McFadden. It's up to the team HOLDING THE HIGH PICK whether or not they want to move down. It's not happening. Just end this NOW.

If other people want to "dream" then let them have there fun. Most everybody should know that it is not happining, just let the kiddos play GM Madden style.

[Mike1709]

If we do trade up into the top few picks, it better be to take Dorsey at DT and not an RB we don't need.:fight:

[rockrules40]

Johnathan Stewart is a better fit for our system. Mcfadden gets most of his yards out of "wild hog" as they call it, better know as "wild cat". Wild cat is where you have your running back line up at QB, and he will not do that here. He is a great player but he scares me, because of the huge bust potential.

I wouldn't put it pass New England. Remember they spent two first round picks on TIGHT ENDS (Watson and Graham), a position nowhere near as coveted as RB.

Do we want to turn into the Colts of a couple years back?

All offense, no defense?
The Colts have won at least 12 games a season for the last 5 years and had two 10 win seasons and a 13 win season 3 out of 4 years before that. They've been better then us and we've had the more 'balanced' team over that span.

I see what you're getting at with defense but our offense needs to get better. You also gotta consider that Shanahan really doesn't know crap about defense. If he invests in a RB he gets to build around his area of expertise again - play to his strengths. I'll take that over our "mastermind" trying to get the most out of his mediocre offensive personnel and running into a major roadblock every time we face an elite team. And yes, I haven't been alll that impressed with Henry this year (He'll be back next year, but with his injuries and age - ugh).

Don't read this as an "ignore the front 7 rant" because we should and will address the defense this year. I'm just saying I won't jump off a cliff if we make a surprise move on an offensive playmaker on draft day. (ridiculous McFadden trade scenario aside) :coffee:
