Im not really a denver fan but i think they should get a saftey in the draft to replace lynch who is going to the probowl but running out of gas. What you think chris?

[bulluckthebeast]

I think Denver should take a TE. Sorry Chris I had to say it. Honestly I think they will go D-line, LB, or S.

i think chris might be the only one to use this forum

I think Denver will get a DT in the draft.

I think that as the draft winds down, they should begin to look for another CB to help Bailey. Herndon and Walls are good, but not great. Imagine if they were able to get a player like Will Blackmon or Travis Daniels in the 3rd round.

We could use a saftey, but we have a young Sam Brandon who wouldn't be too bad, maybe a second round pick like Shazor or Pool? We don't need a tight end and Rabbisson; I couldn't agree more. We need that defensive tackle and picking up a corner would be awesome, we picked LeSeuer from Michigan in the third round last year I believe along with Shoate from SDSU, but LeSeuer has been injured and Shoate has started playing more and more.

Good posts.

Chris - assuming Denver pick at around #20-#22 which looks likely, would you rather see Denver trade down (with a team who want Marlin Jackson) about 5-6 places and hope Shaun Cody is still on the board or would you rather see them grab Cody higher than he's worth just to make sure the Broncos get him? If Denver trade down and get an extra 2nd round pick would they try and pick a QB like Walter, Frye, Orton or Smith?

Also, assuming no DE is left on the board come Denvers pick, who should they go after?.

I live in a state that has no team, but i've always been a Titans fan when pretty much everyone is a Broncos fan. What do you think of them taking a CB to go with Bailey? Nothing in the first round maybe someone like Carlos Rogers in the middle-late second?

[A2Wolves6]

I don't believe a team would trade a second round pick to move up 6 spots in the later part of the first round. Near the top, probably, but not moving up from 28 to 22. The value doesn't work out.

my wishlist for denver...what i think are our team needs and people who could possibly fit them.

1. DT - Shaun Cody
2. S - (any chance of getting shazor or nicholson with our 2nd rounder?)
3. QB - Charlie Frye
4. C - Vince Carter
5. TE - maybe alex smith or kevin everett

i think a team can live with having only one good CB, and we have the best. no need to spend a first day pick when we have solid guys like walls and herndon, plus young guys like leseuer.

do you think there's any chance we can get 3 or 4 of those picks?

Here is my wish list for next year. I know that it's still early. I mean, we don't even know where we'll be selecting, but here goes (by round)....

1) DT/DE Shaun Cody- USC 6'5" 285
From what I've seen on other message boards, Denver is going to address its D-line problems through free agency. Names I've seen mentioned are Michael Strahan (DE NYGiants), Chris Hovan (DT/DE Minnesota), and Pat Williams (DT Buffalo). If we could get 1 or 2 of these players I'd be thrilled. Players could bolster interior of the line for a few more years; however, lack of youth needs to be addressed early in next year's draft. Cody is solid and adds some versatility. Some publications compare him to Trevor Pryce and Richard Seymour.

2) CB Jimmy Williams- Virginia Tech 6'2" 210
Most mocks don't have him going this early, but I don't think he'll be on the board for our next selection. Played free safety his freshman year, and that's the position I envision for him. Our safeties are better suited to defend the run. We need a cover safety (like Ed Reed or Eugene Wilson) who will also provide depth in the secondary.

No 3rd rounder

4) DT Haloti Ngata- Oregon 6'5" 345
Need to shore up interior D-line. Massive run-stopper. Would occupy blockers, allowing MLB Al Wilson to make more plays.

5) RB J J Arrington- California 5'11" 210
It's not a Denver draft without Shanahan selecting a running back. I like our backs now, but with all the injuries this year, depth may be an issue. Arrington reminds me a bit of Marshall Faulk. Can run. Can catch. Does it all.

6a) QB Matt Jones- Arkansas 6'6" 240
Also runs a 4.4 40! Poor passer, but ridiculous measurables. Started out as a WR and played BBall too. I see him as a mismatch at WR/TE. Who's going to cover him? A 5'11" CB? At worst, he's Joe Jurevicius. At best, the second coming of Ed McCaffery. I know he'd be a project, but we need a vertical threat at TE/slot position.

Compensatory pick from Tampa Bay for Ian Gold
6b) OG C J Brooks- Maryland 6'5" 320
Played both guard and tackle. Adds size and versatility to O-line. Our zone blocking scheme allows for smaller quicker linemen, but I feel part of our problem in the red zone and the late season struggles has to do with our O-line wearing down and getting pushed around. We need to add more beef.

7) A good punter
Field position has killed us, and Baker is NOT the answer. We need someone who can consistently get it into the endzone on kickoffs (AT SEA LEVEL) and who can punt the ball 40+ yards average.

Thoughts? Comments?

That punter, by the way, should be Dustin Colquitt.

Would you rather get Frye or Orlovsky in the 2nd round?

Just curious, I'm not really a Broncos fan...
