Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

well after the bungles finish their domination of the bears today, the bears will fall to 3-3. for a top 10 pick i think they need to go something like 6-10 or worse. 7-9 to 8-8 would probably get us 11-16.
so we need the bears to lose 7 more games! i can see them losing to the vikings x2, packers, cardinals, eagles, and the ravens. that would give them 9 loses. lets hope for an upset somewhere!
I dont want a top 10 pick. I want a lower one so we can still afford to keep Marshall Kuper Doom and hopefully Scheff.
I agree with that logic but, this is one draft where there's going to be a lot of teams clamoring to move up tho. I don't think there'd be any trouble trading away a 4-10 draft pick and really get some team building picks lined up. Perfect scenario I would say would be Chicago lands us a top 5(not going to happen)- we trade down to 12ish and pick up several other very nice picks. I try not to be to greedy, Chicago can go 7-9,8-8, but preferably not any better than that.. Go Cinncy....?!
The higher the pick the better. If we were to get a top 12 pick, and had to lose one of our key guys, we could replace them with a player that high. For example: Marshall (Dez Bryant), Elvis Dumervil (Jerry Hughes), Kyle Orton (Sam Bradford). Just saying, but this higher the pick the better, and if we were to resign all those guys, it gives us the opportunity to trade down and get more value from the pick. It's a win-win.

idk about you....but i'd much rather have the proven product. especially since none of the players you mentioned are more then 26 years old which means any rookie we draft will only give us an extra 2-3 years of play (which will be spent on the learning curve anyway)
for now, i'd say the higher the better. logically speaking, 12 would be ideal (its been good to us lately). but i'm sure that when draft day comes around, theres always gonna be another b.j. raji or orakpo that seems just out of reach in the top ten.

well isnt next year going to be an un-capped year??And dont we still have above av cap room right now? We should still keep Doom,Marsh and Kuper and still have enough room for a top ten draft pick.
Check the current standings and you'll see there are a lot of terrible teams right now. I just don't see the Bears falling that far. I think we're likely looking at a pick in the mid-teens.
We should be able to resign our players IMO (at least Marshall, Dumerville, Orton, and Kuper). Maybe more, maybe less, but I think Marshall and Dumerville are locks to be extended assuming Marshall will still want to be here.
As for the draft I would love for a Bears collapse and a top 10 pick. With games against Vikings twice, Philly, Baltimore, Green Bay, (and potentially can lose to Arizona and San Fran), it isn't quite out of question. Realistically, we will get a pick in mid-teens, I just don't know who we will draft though. I like Arthur Jones, McClain, Spikes, and even potentially another WR threat in Dez Bryant. Marshall and Bryant would be scary with Royal potentially in the slot. Hmm.
