If Bunkley is available at 29 and we don't take him and take Sinorice Moss instead, talk about a horrible pick, I will kick Shanny's ass!!!

I agree. I would rather have Stovall than Moss...

[elsid13]

Big hair is in love with Moss, I don't see him being successful unless it in the slot 3rd WR spot. He going to be hard for the QB to spot.

[OrangeShadow]

kiwi(i want hali to slip) and bunkley is my dream 1st round

[WABronco]

Or Lawson rather than Moss...

Kiwi and Lawson would be SICK!

I'd actually rather go Lawson and Bunkley/Watson though...

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

That would be great and then spend the rest of the draft on offense. This draft is loaded on the Ol and Broncs can grab a couple of good ones and a couple of pass receivers in rounds 2-4. Throw in a RB, a developmental QB and maybe a backup LB and I will join SoCal in refusing to stand up in public for a few days. Would be much better than Viagra.

[BurgundyNGold]

Getting Kiwi that far down would be a steal. I think that you'd be spelling the end for Trevor Pryce though.

EDIT: And I think that Sinorice Moss that high would be a stretch. Maybe he's worht a 2nd but I wouldn't risk more than a 3rd on him just because he has a talented brother.

[SoCalBronco]

what a rollercoaster ride.

Haa, there you are...

Spelling the end for Pryce is a good thing though, so that would make it even better IMO.

I likey. I want to see some trench players on day 1. I would love to see us grab 2 OL, 2 DL, a safety, and a TE.

Pretty much agree, but the fact that Shanahan is even talking to TO shows they are desperate for help at WR, so I would throw in a couple of WR in place of the S and TE.

1b.Bunkley/Lawson
2. Brian calhoun

I like the first round, but I don't think we'll go RB until day 2 unless someone unexpected drops. Hali would be my dream #22, but I wouldn't be upset over Kiwi.
1a-Hali
1b-Bunkley
2-Daryl Tapp

What I really like about Tapp and Bunkley is their ability to play in a 4-3 or a 3-4. I love the motors and speed which Tapp and Hali have.

[Rascal]

Screw Brian Calhoun, we don't need another Tatum. If you want to get a RB draft one later in the form of Griggs, Bell, or Addai.

[OrangeShadow]

im high on addai as well

[Broncoman13]

Since I change my mind almost daily...

1a. Eric Winston (depending on Lepsis)
1b. Manny Lawson (if he lasts!)
2. Devin Hester (While CB isn't a big need position, his upside is tremendous and we still need help in the return game. He'd be able to play probably as the 4th CB and top return man on the team.)

*Note* I'm still not opposed to drafting Cromartie in the first. I've said it many times and I'll say it again, he has enough talent that within a few short years you'll wonder if he or Champ is the best on the team.
If a TE like Marcedes Lewis is available w/our 2nd then I'd gladly take him over Hester. I don't think he'll slip that far though... would be worth it to send a 4th and move up some!

[Broncoman13]

I think Calhoun is a great RB and would fit the system, but you're 100% correct. We have a guy just like him already, and his size will likely limit him to a 15 carry per game back. In otherwords, he's probably a change of pace guy.

I'd take a chance on Addai instead.

[meangene]

my ideal

1a.Kiwi/Hali
1b.Bunkley/Lawson
2. Brian calhoun
rest-OL,S,WR,

I like it except I would take Kiwi out of the equation - he makes me nervous. And, I am assuming WR is addressed in FA or trade. Otherwise, it would have to move WR up on the priority list.

I like Addai also. But, I would not equate Calhoun to Bell. Calhoun has vision and instincts.

[Broncoman13]

True, and Calhoun is a more ellusive back that can catch quite well. That being said, he's undersized and has the makings of a change of pace guy... which is what I mean by like Bell.

[phisig150]

I want Bing. I don't see him falling into the second. Cutler is overated. #9 come on now. I still like Hagan despite a weak senior bowl. He would be a steal in the second. I also think Jonathon Scott and Wright go in the first. Any know what Kiper's success rate is at predicting the draft is anyways? Is he only a draft guru because he's the only guy out there that covers it all year? I hate his hair too, by the way. He looks like a used car salesman. I also have a gut feeling Houston trades down, I think there will be a lot of action to try to trade up into the top spot tp nab either Young or Bush. When its all said and done White and Huff will be the two best players out if this draft. Sorry If I rambled a little.

[Billy Clyde Puckett]

Love him or hate hime, Kiper has better access to the real football people than any other draft "expert".

[epicSocialism4tw]

Yep. He knows his stuff. How else is a guy that is that goofy going to end up with alot of face time on TV?

He's a notoriously hard worker and excellent researcher. He's got my respect.

He also has John Elway as his top rated prospect of all time. That doesnt hurt my opinion of him at all :)

[WABronco]

*Note* I'm still not opposed to drafting Cromartie in the first. I've said it many times and I'll say it again, he has enough talent that within a few short years you'll wonder if he or Champ is the best on the team.

Damn that'd be sweet...

Calhoun is a much better between the tackles runner than Tatum. Don't let his size fool you; he runs with real pop, and he's way better as a receiver, too.
