Broncos 2017 NFL Draft

[Mingo]

I'm still expecting a trade down - and a back room deal for Clady - Bishop or a trade.

I do think both Robinson and Bolles - will work though at 20

I will say if Denver drafts a Olineman at 20 he better hit and be here through a 2nd contract otherwise Elway will have failed again with a high draft pick and he can't live off Free Agency or late round steals forever.

Who is Bishop?

Chris Harris wants a playmaker at #20 either on offense or defense so do I.

King Bishop - it what I call King Dunlop in my head (apparently).

Well I'm doing the annual GM mock draft for the Hoop as the Broncos. Just made it through our 3rd round pick and this is what I have so far...

1) Cam Robinson--I debated between him and Haasan Reddick but just filling out our biggest need with the top LT in the draft was hard to pass up.
2) Jarrad Davis--Glad I didn't with Davis falling to me in the 2nd. Feel like with both of these picks got good value and met huge needs on the team. Davis' leadership/energy/athletic ability should really help bring something new to our defense.
3a) Dalvin Tomlinson--Fits nicely into one of our DE spots with the ability to kick into NT when needed. He is one of my personal favorite players in this draft as I think he only scratched the surface during his time at Alabama.
3b) Carlos Henderson--No player had a higher broken tackle percentage per touch than Henderson. Throw in maybe the best kick returner in all of college football this past season coming to the team adds a very nice weapon. Solves our slot WR and return game all in one pick.

Good draft. Don't think Elway will give up draft pick/pks to move up for any of top tackle guys and not so sure he's even set on one at 20. I think it's possible he's concerned with Parradis and center spot more than some may think. I believe if Lamp, a guy who has experience at tackle,center and guard would be very attempting for Elway or.... since it is a fairly deep interior line class, he goes for a playmaker on offense at 20 and addresses O line in rd 2-7. If Lamp is gone and Reddick is there, I think he might be in play. If by 20, the coveted/hopeful guys are gone, I can see Denver making trade down or out of rd1 to be able take advantage of some very good talent at interior/tackle exp linemen, rb/wr, ILb and interior D ( positions of need ) at least in rds 2-4. Think they will take a qb in 6-7 also. Will throw my " expert " mock for Denver when someone starts the new "your 2017 Bronco picks " thread

Who was the last Alabama Olineman worth a damn? John Hannah? j/k
Robinson has major issues with speed rushers in college. I'd be scared to put him at LT in the pros.

Give me Haason Reddick in the 1st , Dion Dawkins in the 2nd and then Dede Westbrook and Jake Butt in the 3rd rounds

You must be referring to Lucas.

Garett Bolles Fits more what we have done in the past .I get it we are talking more power ..

Read a piece (of what, who knows...) from the DPO that said we swap 1st round picks, give up a 3rd and a player for Joe Thomas. I think it was that.

I don't think Thomas deal is dead just yet.

listening to the BSN podcast on my way to work, they suggested giving up a 1 and 2 this year and a 3 next year to move up for mccaffrey. Then they were asked, if McCaffrey went on to have a Sproles-like career, would that trade have been worth it? Both said absolutely worth it. I about chucked my phone out the bus lol do they know who Darren Sproles even is? You want to give up a 1, 2 and 3 for a career gadget player? I think McCaffrey is better than Sproles too but come on media... be better... borderline fakenews! lol

That's fans for ya. They love his dad. Great player, but we don't need to be doing crazy stuff like that just to get a legends son.

if hes there at 20 fine. Hell, if he falls to 16 and we want to give up our 1 and conditional 3rd... i guess so... but jesus giving up 1 2 and 3 for him? GTFOH lol

Swapping our 1st for their 2nd (at #33) would be more realistic.

McCaffrey would have to be the second coming of Walter Payton for that kind of trade to be justified.

agreed... and thats with hindsight... idk a RB i would ever of given up that many assets to move up and get as a prospect... for every AP there is a trent richardson... dont give up that much for a QB and Oline and scheme dependent position

Not sure the Browns would even entertain this. They would definitely get the short end of the straw unless that player we included was one of our better starting players. (Harris, Talib, Thomas, etc)

Has this type of player ever been used like they should in Elways playing days or GM career NO. Unless VJ could convince him otherwise I don't see this kind of thing happening. Its just a hometown story media and casual fans want.
