Who do you take with our first round pick

[JrtheFreak]

We shouldn't sell the farm for luck. But we still need to make a reasonable offer. I would give up our first round pick which should be a top 5 pick, a 2nd and a future 1st round pick to move up. If that is rejected, would trade down and acquire more picks.

This might work if the Rams get the #1 pick... probably not if Indy... which I think will have it. Miami is playing better and I think they will finish with more wins than Denver.

If we do get a chance to take Luck, free agents will want to come to Denver again...

Its amazing that so many people think a qb in the first round is the biggest need.

70% in the first rounds are busts!
Behind this teams teams 'talent', any qb draft will bust.

You're right, it makes more sense to wait until the 6th round and hope we find Tom Brady.



The quarterback position is the most important individual position on the team. IF it appears that we do not have a quarterback we want to commit to when the draft rolls around, we absolutely should address the need with the best player we can get; after that we can start surrounding them with talent. But it's easier to upgrade one position to make the team look better (and QB is the only position that will immediately do so), than to upgrade the entire team.

Griffin will not be coming here, good lord get real. We want a pocket passer, he is not a pocket passer. If we draft QB it will be one of Luck, Barkley, or Jones.

If Peyton comes back healthy Indy will likely trade the #1 pick. How odd would it be that the first time we got our HOF QB it was in a trade with the Colts, and then the 2nd time we get a new HOF QB it will be in a trade with the Colts. The only thing that would make it weirder is if Luck said he will not play for Indy and Indy trades him to us and gets an OT in the process. lol

I'm really hoping Tebow succeeds, but it's not looking good. If we are picking in the top 5, we have to sell the farm to get Andrew Luck, nothing else will suffice!

I agree, probably Barkley though if he comes out..

I can see not a lot of thought went here.
For every one you named you can name 2-3.
Clausen Quinn lineheart vy Russell pennington vick(falcons) akili smith mcnown couch leaf Andre ware

and the list goes on and on and on and on

common theme for them is thinking that qb could save them alone...

[ironfootball39]

Its not that I don't think qb isn't important.

It is, when you get a solid foundation set for them. Which we are far from.

You are setting them up to fail on our team.

Griffin is a pocket passer with the ability to run. He has better accuracy then Barkley and Jones and a stronger arm.

RG3 can throw from the pocket!!!!!!!! We took Tebow and we all know he can't!

He hit two pretty spot on pocket passes to win in Miami...

Too early to rule him out

[getlynched47]

I don't see why everybody is choosing "Trade everything for Andrew Luck".

If we trade all our picks for Luck, we can't build around Andrew Luck. It's not like our offense and defense are set and all we need is a quarterback to make a push! We need yet another roster revamp.

Luck, or any quarterback we draft, will fail if we don't improve our offense and defense through the draft and free agency.

I'm still sticking to my stance that Andrew Luck will be the next Ryan Leaf, and I won't be changing my opinion until he proves me wrong. Never liked how some players who think so highly of themselves that they actually threaten NFL teams that they will not play for them (John Elway, Eli Manning). I like Elway the player, but not Elway the person. That's a different topic for a different thread

I'd much rather grab Nick Foles, or Landry Jones as a second option. Not a fan of Luck or Barkley.

100%. Preach it.
