I dont see how we go Tight End early. Julius and Virgil are here for the long haul. One of Tamme or Dreessen should be back. We can draft a developmental tight end late in the draft.

1.Our primary need this off season is going to be O line. Both Tackles and Guards will be looked at. Beadles is gone in my opinion.

2. Defensive Line will also get a look early.

3. Receiver. If I had to bet, I say Decker is not re-signed. With the gaudy numbers our offense is putting up, someone is going to over pay Eric as a #1 Receiver and I think we pass.
Robinson and King will be good #4 and #5 receivers in the future. I think Welker will be affordable going forward on max 2 year deals. If he stays healthy he could have another four years left in him. So, we would be looking for a #2 Receiver in the draft. With all of the weapons we have, we can certainly afford not to over pay Decker.

4. Corner only if we dont re-sign Cromartie.

After these needs, I think we just go best player available.

Thus far i'm really not a huge fan of this draft class, at least not in the mid/late portion of the 1st round. I've watched some youtube game highlights of some of the OL that could be available in that area and found them very underwhelming. Gabe Jackson and David Yankey were my main focus and they just weren't very impressive. Jackson has the body and maybe even the physical gifts, but he lunges and dives at defenders legs and overall appears quite lazy. Yankey was at OT and may end up being a nice fit inside at OG, but at tackle it's clear he doesn't have the athleticism and plays incredibly upright.

With Denver's depth and the fact that i don't find the class outside of the top 10 or 15 very impressive i think BPA is the best route. Even if it is a TE, i wouldn't really care. Having 2 gifted TE's isn't a hindrance. Austin Seferian-Jenkins is the more prototypical TE at 6'6" 260 and adding him with Julius Thomas would be something to see. I also wouldn't be opposed to a guy like Eric Ebron at TE. He seems to be caught in between a WR and a TE (6'4" 235), but he has length and is also physically gifted and capable of lining up all over the formation.

Yeah this class isn't good if your picking outside the top 15, maybe we trade up but if we traded down I wouldn't be upset.

Imo we're going to have a strong look at a physical corner. We were interested in Xavier Rhodes this year and Dre Kirkpatrick last year. He could learn under Bailey and see a lot of playing time since Bailey is hurt quite a lot. Webster could grow into a solid #2 and Harris is maybe the best slot corner in the league. I simply don't trust DRC tbh.

I think this is a year that Denver would be wise to trade and move up in the Top 10-15. Realistically, we don't have a TON of pressing needs.

QB- No
RB- Not this early, if at all
WR- Could be worth trading up for a gamebreaker type if Decker is done
TE- I'd like one, but no
OL- I don't see a trade up for one, but it's possible we take one
DE- Yes
DT- No
LB- Doubtful
CB- Doubtful
S- Doubtful

I think impact DE, WR or OL is the first round pick this year.

Bishop Sankey is the best back in the class, love the kids game.

the best way to predict the positions a team this loaded will draft is to look at who we'll lose to free agency.


Beadles, Decker, DRC are the most likely starters to go. We could also lose Champ to retirement.


CB is my best bet, followed by a pass rusher, because we just lack a pass rushing end right now. For once we seem loaded at DT, crazy.

I hope we go pass rusher early or even TE should a good one fall to us, having 2 athletic, big TEs would nice.

This team needs help in plenty of areas. Lets not act like anything else.

I see needed growth in:
DT-Nothing special here
DE-Same
LB-Same aside from Woody and Trevy in the nickel
CB-Champs old, need to keep retooling
LG-Beadles might leave
WR-Decker might leave, always need weapons
TE-Same
