I think we should pick him up if he is still available in the fourth.

I know. I hate it, but he'll be blowing our linebackers up for the next 10 years.

Coach won't draft this guy because he's big, strong, fast, mean and nasty. Originally Posted by Bronco on 22s

I know our d was horrible but a pick like this would really help our offense in the long run. Just imagine how it would help our running game.

He will be taken by the Bills in the top of the third round if he is there, they are anamored with this kid and Buffalo has two of the top third round picks in the draft...

Schmitt has nothing the Broncos would be interested in, he's neither tiny nor weak, and he's far too big and talented. Originally Posted by slick7

I look for them to draft the likes of Phillips/Smith, Cherilus, Schmitt and Okam......

Not real important Max, Shanahan recently stated we utilize our tight ends as fullbacks more then use true fullbacks, that is why we are usually capable to make undesired halfbacks fullbacks on the roster such as Sapp, Bell and we have done it with several others. Hall will likely be a fullback next year! I think we have a better chance of drafting a blocking tight end then an actual fullback. Originally Posted by Max Power
