WR class

[XxOrangexCrushX]

Is casey retiring???

[Den615]

your crazy if you dont think royal is a good #2 reciever. he had 96 receptions as a rookie!!! plus he has good hands, beats the jam well, and runs great routes.

however i do think drafting a project player like patrick turner on day 2 could be a good move.

2009 WR Core

Brandon Marshall
Eddie Royal
Brandon Stockley
Chad Jackson
Patrick Turner

that would be my dream WR core anyway

If we are even going for a WR in this draft, I would like to see Jarred Dillard on day 2, he will be a nice bargain!

Given our poor defensive play and
possible scheme change our draft
focus should be on defense BUT
one wide receiver I would like to
see in a Broncos' uniform is:

http://walterfootball.com/draft2009WR.php

Austin Collie, BYU
Height: 6-2. Weight: 206.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Projected Round (2009): 4.

1/10/09: Arguably the best receiver in BYU history, Austin Collie has declared
a year early for the NFL Draft. Collie caught 106 passes for 1,538 yards and
15 touchdowns as a junior. He also returned kicks on a 27-yard average.


7/26/08: Despite missing two games, Austin Collie led BYU in receiving
yardage (946) and qualified for the All-Mountain West second team.
Collie was also solid as a return specialist.

The only WR I want is Mike Thomas.

He's like a Steve Smith, and could take over the special teams game of Alridge doesn't work out (I'd prefer to keep Royal healthy).

We could probably nab him in the 4th round.

Getting a WR w/our 1st pick isn't as far fetched as some make out. It all depends what we do in free agency. If we sign DE Julius Peppers (Carolina), DT Gabe Watson (Arizona for our 4th round pick, as some have suggested), and either MLB Mike Peterson (Jaguars) or S Otogwe (St. Louis), most of our defensive issues would have been addressed. Or at very least, improved.

That would leave us free to pick up BPA w/our 1st pick. I don't think we'll suddenly improve to a top ten defense next year regardless of whom we sign; we just might realize our best hope is simply trying to outscore teams rather than stopping them.

I'm just saying that if Jeremy Maclin (WR, Mizzou) drops and is there at #12, I wouldn't be averse to us taking him. Imagine Marshall, Royal, Scheffler, Maclin, and Chad Jackson lined up in a 5 receiver set. Who has that many DBs to match up? We could even call them the Mile HIGH FIVE. With a healthy RB, THAT would be a scary offense. We could address other defensive needs (DE, LB, CB) in later rounds.

i agree that if we did get all of those FA you listed we might go a different direction than LB or Dline but I think they would take a CB like Vontae Davis over a WR at this point when the Broncos have 2 aging CB with little young depth and 2 young stars at WR.

I totaly think he is a good number 2 reciever I'm a big eddie royal fan and have both his and marshalls jersey but I look at arizona and they had three awsome wideouts and I'm just taking into account the pass friendly offense were gonna have. I think there is gonna be another wideout here in denver. Out goes both jacksons. And stoke stays that third down reciever.

If we're looking for a guy to replace Stokley look at Jordan Norwood from Penn State.


He looks to be the perfect mold of a slot receiver, and if you saw that All State competition for draft prospects, you would've seen his hands are just absolutely phenominal.
