We need a lt you don't find lt late or in free agency much we need to do what it takes to get this guy. He is the only guy who I think can start at lt day one in this draft and we desperately need to get out tackles fix acquire a top notch rt get a stud like Robinson who can man the left for the next 15 years. I feel we really need to move if we can get him with out giving our first next year

After watching the NCG I don't know if I would take him over his own teammate in Reuben Foster. He is really good in run blocking and just ok in pass blocking. I think his biggest issue is confidence. He had 2 BIG false start penalties in the game that killed drives.
I am hoping we keep Okung at this point and sign Zeitler and Wagner to play LG and RT respectively. This would enable us to focus on other areas of need like DT, ILB, OL depth, WR, and possibly RB.Jacksonville Jaguars Broncomania GM:

It would also HAVE to mean that we see Garcia as the major issue for Okung's issues this season. Ie. We think he was trying to do too much to cover for Garcia. I do think that we need a starting RT in the worst way and a starting LG to replace Garcia. Ideally we'd get a good to great vet who is at the tail end of his career at LT and then draft another high to work under him.Jacksonville Jaguars Broncomania GM:

No denying that Robinson is intriguing and seems an easy safe pick. But his value has fallen. He is not as complete a OT as many believed before the season started. Beginning of the season he was easy top 10. Some talking top 5 pick. Now I have seen some mock drafts and scouting comments that have him dropping to the 2nd rd even. Several have him as the 2nd or 3rd OT taken. In fairness I have also seen him still in the top 20 too.
Doubt he falls that far in a oline starved league but some of the shine has tarnished on the young man's star.
Talented young man but starting to look more like a project with potential then a year one standout. If that assessment is true then BPA at #20 is not Robinson. Broncos can pick up "potential" in 2nd or 3rd rounds. Also have "potential" already on the roster. Combines and interviews may cause his stock to rise, but it may also help other OTs or players too.
Elway has all kinds of options. Robinson is just one of them IMO.

Im fairly certain we take oline in the 1st, but I like the kid out of Utah more than Robinson. Although after the combine Bolles is going to shoot up draft boards and might not be there. There isn't a ton of tape on Bolles but he is a great athlete and teams will be drooling over him.
I'm hoping one of the top 3 OL are there for us at 20 if not, one of the better lbs is likely to drop.

I. Still don't see any day one starting lt only way okung stays is with a new contract. And FYI most young line are way better at the. Blocking dude gets the proper technique and he is a pro bowl tackle. Once his hands are on you you ain't getting away.sigpic

The other piece to this puzzle is our O-line coach. If he does need some polish but has those other two traits do we have a coach who can develop players....IMO that answer is no. Now with the Vance hire we will see how many of the current coaches find themselves looking for work elsewhere. Here's hoping our O-line coach is at the very least NOT coaching the OL next season.

So now the question becomes is a cap savings of 10M or so this year alone worth trading a few picks to acquire a solution to our LT position via the draft and move up? - Keeping in mind that that 10M a year could go towards a player to fill one of the positions we'd be "loosing" out on in the draft.

Foster did dominate, he looks like a stud.
