Considering We've gotten great production out of later-round picks in the past, we didn't need to get Jackson... We'll find somebody later, plug him in, and our offensive line will do the rest.

Defense wins championships, as the saying goes.

DJ Williams is a good pick in my book. he's an athlete and will come in and could start right away at outside LB.

denver will find a RB later. there was a need in my opinion at LB.

I'm not happy either and my concern wasn't rb. One of the D-Linemen should have been taken. There would have been good lb's left in the 2nd. Always drafting on potential in the early rounds and it rarely pays off.

I think this is a great pick. We could still very well get a RB next round or maybe even trade up, as DJ Williams is a great player. IMO its a SOLID pick.

The Broncos are nowhere near solid on the defensive side. What about the D-line? With only one D-lineman gone, they go for a LB. Anyone here gonna argue that LBs are more important than D-linemen?

I have nothing against DJ, he may turn out to be solid, even great. But with no one helping up front, he's gonna be chasing RBs and TEs a while.

No way he makes it out of the first, I don't care who does or doesn't need a RB. Slight shot at Kevin Jones, after that I could care less about any of the RB's in the draft. We don't get one of those we may as well choose a WR that will hopefully produce in 3 years.

D lineman have the highest rate of being a bust, LBs 2nd lowest. Shanny promised an impact guy and we got the best LB in the draft at a need position. Maybe Wilfork will be good, but DT is a lot deeper than LB.

D-linemen are also a heck of a lot more important than LBs. They had the chance to take any of them (except Harris), and like you said, took the conservative route. I hope it works out, cause it's very unlikely they'll have that chance again.

I'm sure Davis/Eason/Pope/Holland/Fatafehi/Elliss/McNeal/Coleman/Johnson and even Hayward will do, it would just be nice, for once, to have someone on the DL (other than Pryce) that is not over-achieving

I don't think he's an idiot by any means. I just think that a D-lineman like Will Smith would have done a lot more for the defense than a linebacker. DJ Williams may turn out to be a very good player but getting pressure on the QB seems to be an ongoing weakness because there isn't the great talent on the line other than Trevor. I think Sykes and Spragan did a pretty good job filling in last year and think we could have gotten linebacker in the 2nd with D. Smith, Boulware, or Lehman. I won't be afraid to admit I was wrong if it turns out that way, it just seems that we have been looking for that compliment to Trevor for years and haven't found it.

I agre it does all Begin up front on offense or defense , I have been reading on this Williams guy , the dude can Pass rush and a 250 pound will can be used as an extra line man or in pass protection .... Williams has 4.5 Speed , he can get some things done .... This Williams pick can work out Like Wilson did .......

Broncoman13
04-24-2004, 02:50 PM
Like I told you guys earlier and for the past two months. Trading Portis and then drafting a RB #1 wouldn't be a smart trade.

I was hoping for a DLineman myself, but DJ is perhaps the best LB prospect in a long time. He is better than some of the other LB to come out of Miami such as Armstead and Morgan, but not the same caliber as Lewis. He has unlimited potential, all depends on how well the coaching soaks in. I like the pick. A real reach would have been Dansby, some of you folks should be thanking the football gods for not having that type of reach today!

In the second we are going to have some serious options. Dockett still on the board, as is Starks. Odom, Olshansky, and numerous others are still there for the taking! I wish Woods or Jenkins would have lasted, but I'm sure we'll take a WR later on, no biggee really.

Start preparing yourself now though for a guy name Michael Turner, either at 2b or 3. IF we draft him I'll be the happiest Bronco on the Mane!!!

My best chance scenario for the rest of the day.

2a. Jacob Rogers
2b. Randy Starks.

With Salam leaving and others not producing I would love to add a good prospect along the line. Not a sexy pick, but a pick that would help in the long run. I also wouldn't feel bad if we bit the bullet and drafted Sean Jones with our 2a.

Other poss...

Oops never mind Olshansky


Best case scenario... 2a. Dockett, 2b. Starks. Yeah yeah yeah, too many DL already. The more the marrier as far as I'm concerned. I also wouldn't mind having Dockett/Starks and Odom!

With Champ Bailey in the line up , we will free up a safty , we can work Lynch alot more around the LOS in Run support or Hot routes and T.E. coverage , and allowing us to Blitz Line backers alot more ...

Anyone here gonna argue that LBs are more important than D-linemen?

In the Denver system they are. The bulk of the run stopping work is done by the linebackers, they also play in coverage quite a bit. That's why Wilson got the money he did.

Coyers scheme in a nutshell is to let the defensive line pin it's ears back and go after the Quarterback. In running situations they're primary goal is to open penetration gaps for the linebackers (both on the backside and towards the runner). The tackles generally come at the second level.

It's a really nice scheme that requires REALLY good Linebackers. Wilson, Gold, and Mobley had it down almost to science last year before the injuries. Spraghan and Sykes are really nice backers, but aren't the strongest out in coverage. That's where this pick came from.

Yea, I mean... I understand the logic in drafting an OLB... we need one. But, we drafted LB high last year, have a Pro Bowl MLB, and a couple of young guys with upside in Spragan/Skyes. With three out of the top four Dlinemen on the board, I just can't believe none of them could have helped this team.

I'm sure I'll like the Williams pick in time. But, this just continues a trend of mistakenly thinking that you can win in the NFL without disruptive players on your D-line. Pryce is above average... disappears in big games, and that's it. We've got jack-squat besides that. Shanahan talks about how you win with defense first, and I suppose he did try to shore up the position last year with flapjack boy. But, when that fell through... you'd just think a d-line with two empty spaces and one question mark might have been a priority going into the off-season. But, yet again.. it wasn't. Shanahan continues his new philosophy of building his defense from the back forward. Ass-backwards if you ask me.

I understand , Now this is only my opinion , I am no way trying to guess what Shanny is thinking , but this is how see it ......
Before Gold and Mobleys injuries , the LB spot for Denver was making big plays ( T.O.'s sacks , ) and was attacking the L.O.S. Very well , then the Injuries came and the play making Dropped off , Spragen and Sykes are Solid players , But Williams is 250 Pounds and with Ian Golds speed ........
As for Pryce , I have to agree to a point , D.G. was a huge flop, but on the other hand we got Ray Lee Johnson and Luther Ellis Both past their Pime , but Solid ........

You should see the Bradlee Van Pelt threads when he was drafted.

The sky fell pretty hard that day. The sky always seems to be falling around here.

I was there too and I was pulling hard for Steven Jackson...STILL wish we had chosen him since it appears Tater is POSSIBLY gonna bust if he can't beat out Mike. Did anyone see Steven tear up the Lions the other night??? The lad is in midseason form already...he'd look fantastic in orange and blue.

That said, I've been bitchin' on these boards for years about the lack of D in Denver and DJ has brought some to our LB corps (I think is in top 3 in the league) and gotta love that. Either pick would have been good.

Well, i'm here - been here quite a bit since then, hence the large increase in my post count :pfbbt:


DJ ended up being a good pick - i've stated that, eaten my crow, many times since then.

Would I take DJ over Steven Jackson? Not sure with our current RB. Anderson is 32, Bell has been MIA this preseason, Q coming off of injury, Dayne (interesting). Jackson is still young and could be a long term solution for the Rams at RB assuming that he continues progressing. Same can be said for DJ - only 1 thing bothers me. Have we possibly stunted DJ's progression by moving his position? Nobody can say right now - let's see some comments on his play when the season ends and compare that to last year.

In a year where Alexander and James could not be pawn off for a 2nd rounder (cap considerations a factor) How long do you think a top tier LB would last?

I would take DJ Williams and Tatum Bell over Steven Jackson. We're going to be the best rushing team this year. Mike Anderson is performing better than almost everybody including Steven Jackson.

This is the road i'm taking. Jackson would really look good in orange and blue but I am happy to have DJ.
