I would be most happy if...They drafted Garrett Bolles or found a way to trade one of our 3rd round picks for Jason Peters.

Broncos finally got a true middle LBer and his name is Rueben Foster

We trade #20 to SF - so they move up for a QB and get their 34, 66, and 143.

With 34 (prime pick - 2nd pick on day 2) draft someone who dropped, someone like Bolles.

Next use 143 to trade with Ravens in round two moving up 6 spots and get one of the quality TEs like Engram, RB like Kamara or Mixon, or a WR/KR like Samuels.

How about we go the other way and get Foster you buzzkill

I haven't killed any buzz over here on the Tasman Sea, mi amigo!

Elway probably will trade up, but your dream of getting Foster has about as much chance as your dream of some sweet young thing!

The question is what would I do - and the question to you is what would you do? What are u giving up to take up high enough to get Foster?

I like the trade down, but not sure that I want to fall out of the first. A drop down to 31 would cost Atlanta a 2nd. I would be fine with that.

 

[nflbronco]

I'd be happy if we trade down. We need to stockpile 17 18 19 draft picks for 3 yr plan of transition.

Broncos finally got a true middle LBer and his name is Rueben Foster

He's trying to fall to Denver

He's trying to fall to Denver

See, Jesus does love me!

 

[LGM]

We made a pick?

 

[randymon]

Yep. Let's trade up for a guy that had a mishap with medical staff AND failed drug test at combine. Nice.

 

[Orange Crush77]

We might not need to trade up he's trying to fall to us

 

[Orange Crush77]

This is reminiscent of when Warren Sapp was a bonafide top 3-5 pick and slid due to his marijuana concerns. It's absolutely stupid they even test for that shit. It's not a performance enhancer, and they inject and feed these guys Vicodins like they're tic tacs. I could care less if they smoke weed. Players have come out and said it actually helps them medicinally so who gives a shit.

I'm sure everyone would want their picks but I could see Browns making a splash by trading up to 20 and getting their qb and going Garrett (1) and mike Williams (12).

I'd love to have their 2 2nd rd picks as I think there are about 10-15 quality above average starters to be had in rd 2... it's usually half that. Or you have the option of trading back to 33 for Joe Thomas and honestly I don't think you lose much in value. Denver ending the day without making a pick most likely results in something I'd be very happy with... then again Elways trades have generally been problematic and infuriating... so it could go the other way on me... but lots of teams will be trying to get back into rd 1... when Osweiler is getting what he got teams are desperate to secure that 5th yr option to make sure what they have before dropping 20mil/yr on a guy.

I actually liked the last 2 trades in the 1st that Elway made. 1st and a 3rd to secure what you are hoping is your franchise QB considering we had an extra few comp picks makes a lot of sense. Plus those 3rd round picks haven't exactly been Elway's strong suit so again I like them being aggressive getting their guy.

The year before that giving up 2 5th round picks and a player they were planning on cutting to move up and get a guy considered by many a top-10 talent in the draft. So again didn't give up a whole lot and got a guy they figured could be a center piece of the defense moving forward.

I couldn't care less about any of Rueben Foster's pre-NFL issues. If he's available to the Broncos in the first round, GRAB HIM AND RUN! I'd trade all of our picks in rounds 5-7 to get him. This guy is going to be very special in the NFL for a long time.

Miller had issues before we drafted him and well he has turned into a top-3 defensive player in the NFL. Sometimes you just have to take a risk to get the ultimate prize. Plus figure what better team to set him straight than a bunch of guys that have messed up. I mean right now we have Shane Ray, Bradley Roby, Aqib Talib, TJ Ward, and Von Miller all with some shady past dealings. Wouldn't have the No Fly Zone if we let off the field issues get in the way. Not saying to just go get every player with a terrible history but if you feel comfortable with the player then by all means go get the talent.
