This might be more wet dream than reality but he has been slipping and has been called by some a 3rd round prospect.

I could see him falling to the early third, perhaps...just perhaps middle third...his name hasnt been has hot lately as it was during the season. We will need some luck to have him fall to the late third, but its possible, just unlikely. That's why I said its probably more wet dream than reality but I have read from several sources that he could go in Late 2 or the 3rd.

I like your first two, that would be ideal for me as well.
If Mangold is around for our 2nd, that would be my pick...Give him a couple years to mentor under Nails.
3A. Blue/Byrd Not sure what Blue's stock is right now but we are going to need to start looking for a safety soon, Lynch is loosing a step. If we are going to free up some cap room, this is the year to get rid of Putz and pick up a TE, pretty deep.
3B. Hank Baskett I don't know why but I really like this kid. Has a solid head on his shoulders and is a big possession type reciever. Don't ever see him developing into a #1 but could be a solid #2 or slot. I think he might be a bit of a reach but I dont see him being around for us on day two.
I like that QB from Oregon as well, i'm not sold on VanPeltt and this kid looks good. Don't know if his ankle would be of concern or not.

I agree on Mangold, if he slips to 2, its an easy choice. That way we could keep Hamilton at guard where he is excelling. Im pretty sure Mangold has a ticket to the first round tho. I have Byrd rated as the No. 5 TE, but if he is there at 3A, he would be an excellent selection. I dont know much about Baskett so I cant comment on him but from the reports I read, he didnt do too well at the senior bowl practices.

I've always been a big fan of Kiwi. I think he's gonna be a player, but I'd rather have Lawson at this point.
1a. Lawson (I don't think Bunk makes it to 22 now)
1b. Pope (Lawson wouldn't make it to 29 now and 4.6 for a 6'6 TE is good!)
2. Darnell Bing (going with SoCal's logic that he's slipping... if he's there at the end of round 2, I don't think we pass on him.
3. Derek Hagan (Slipping, but won't slide out of the 3rd)
3 comp. Mark Anderson (provided he does slip)

I'm a little concerned about Pope moving up too. 4.6 at his size! I could live with Wimbley if Lawson is gone. There would be a lot of finger crossing that the guys I listed would be around but it is supposed to be our ideal draft. Certainly possibe these guys could be around. I think you are right, though, Lawson at 29 might be a stretch.

Again, just my amateur opinion - but I think both Bunkley and Lawson have raised their draft value at the combine. So unless Draft Studio Value has updated their boards since the combine began - I wouldn't put too much stock into it.
But the fun of the draft is that no one knows what will happen! :)

I don't see how people are thinking we're going to get a third and a fourth for compensation. More than likely just a third, or a fourth.
My ideal 7 rounder, comps starred:
1A: Bunkley, DT, FSU
1B: Bing, S, USC
2: Kudla, DE, OSU
3A: Fasano, TE, ND
3B: Elsinger/Setterstrom, OL, MIN *
4A: Joe Toledo, OT, UW
4B: Gerald Riggs Jr, RB, TEN
4C: Dustin Davorcek, DT, OAK*
5: Marques Closton, WR, HOF
6: Jeremy Bloom, WR, UC/NA
7: Ingle Martin, QB, Furman
Not very likely, but its an ideal draft.
I don't see how people are thinking we're going to get a third and a fourth for compensation. More than likely just a third, or a fourth.
We got two 3rds for loosing Gold and Berry, this year we'll be seeing comp for Kennedy and Hayward. Hayward got more money than Berry and played an equal amount of time. Kennedy got more money for his position than Gold and started more games/played more downs than Gold did for Tampa. Neither year had us bringing in a major FA acquisition.
Unless the NFL changed the compensation formulas we should be looking at good comp picks again this year. I wouldn't count or chickens before they're hatched however, as I doubt the NFL will continue to ignore our shenanigans of acquiring talent through trade/cuts who don't count against our FA acquisitions regarding compensation, giving us better compensation than most.

We will need some luck to have him fall to the late third, but its possible, just unlikely. That's why I said its probably more wet dream than reality but I have read from several sources that he could go in Late 2 or the 3rd.
I've heard the same as well, I would kind of be ticked if Bing was drafted by us in the first, but based on the fact he'd probably go higher next year had he stayed in school, and on his potential, I'd be alright with it. Infact, I actually believe he'll be around at our second pick, but as you mentioned, probably wouldn't last to our third.
I'd have it like this:
First Round A: Broderick Bunkley
First Round B: Mathias Kiwanuka
Second Round: Darnell Bing
Third Round A: Rod Wright
Third Round B: Rashad Butler
Fourth Round A: Greg Lee
Fourth Round B: Mike Bell
Some of you may wonder why I think Wright slips to the third, but he isn't near the prospect he was showing himself to be earlier on in his career. Most question his dedication, his work ethic and his motor to be an every down player in the NFL. I think under the right coach with the right team, he can get motivated. I think the Broncos could be one of those teams to do that and I think he's good value late in the third.
My first round is doubtful, but as this thread said, "my ideal" draft. Although that's unlikely.
As SoCal brushed up upon, Bing isn't getting near the talk he was a few months ago and I think his draft stock as slipped a little with the emergence of some other safeties at the Senior Bowl. I've heard from some scouts that the Broncos actually, but see the first round as too high of a spot to draft him.
Rashad Butler is a guy who I think will rise from a mid-round grade, to late-day one because of his ability to play RT and LT. I think the Broncos might be interested in this guy and he brings a lot of versatility to the line like current Broncos and former teammate at Miami, Chris Myers. Solid value there if we're fortunate enough to get a compensation pick that high.
Greg Lee should have stayed in school and had a chance to become a first rounder had he done so. Too bad he didn't take the advice of his coach, his father and family. I'm not sure of his official times, but it looks like he ran in the late 4.6's at the combine. He has a lot of potential and makes a lot of great plays, maybe this is too high for him, but I think it's a pretty solid pick given this receiver class.
I wanted to put a developmental QB somewhere and some linebacker depth, but I didn't have the chance. If so, they'd probably be late day one, early day two consideration. If a guy like Kevin Simon was there in the late fourth or fifth, nab him.

I believe post-season honors is a part of that formula, in which Berry made the Pro-Bowl. Don't get me wrong, I'd be fuggin' stoked to get two picks again, but maybe I'm wrong. Hell, I hope I am. 8')

Yeah, I personally don't expect two thirds again, I think a third and 4th are doubtful as well. I'd be happy for two 4ths or a 3rd, something like that.

1A. Brodrick Bunkley, DT, FSU
1B. Manny Lawson, DE, NC State
2. Babatunde Oshinowo, DT, Stanford (I just don’t want to pass on this guy. You can never have too many good DTs and this guy could be devastating up the middle. Teamed with Bunkley? I shudder to think. Imagine having an unblockable middle with Lawson on the outside? ;D)
3A. Roman Harper, S, Alabama (Smart, high character football player, team leader, solid all-around S)
3B. Greg Eslinger, C, Minnesota (Not Mangold, but close)
4A. Mike Haas, WR, Oregon (IMO, this guy is another Rod Smith)
4B. Dontrell Moore, RB, New Mexico (I think BobbyT could really make something out of this guy)

Let's work on the trenches, and especially help out the offense. I'm not comfortable with Lelie being the only solid WR of the future. Greg Eslinger seems a lot like Nails. He has the same strengths and the exact same size. If Bunkley is there at our pick, grab him immediately. I want that THING on our side.

In the modern NFL it pretty hard and rare for any player to slip under the radar. Even TD wasn't expected to HOF back by the broncos when they drafted him. It hard to figure out which players will be stars and whose game fits better in the pros then college. Good thing for us Marshall and Jennings are more of typical WC style WR, and some teams don't think they fit thier system.

I agree, but I don't expect much from them in the 1st year. Shanahan system is little to hard for the rookies to see a lot playing time. It going to be a log jam at WR if we draft them this year.
Smith, Lelie, Terrell, Watts, Devoe, Adams, Draft Choice or two. And since Denver only keep/cover 5 competition is going to be fierce.

You are the money on that 27. Everybody loves the underdog, but Devoe, Adams and Watts have proved to be nothing but marginal players so far. Would be great to see them break out, but in reality the chances are slim. Gotta improve the WR depth if the Broncs are going to make another run.

Of Adams, Watts and Devoe, I think that you are going to see Devoe kept on the roster. He has good size and speed, plays ST (VERY IMPORTANT), and seems to make plays. I really think that he might be a surprise to a lot people next year. The real question mark is Watts, if shows up and get his head on straight then we might not see a WR drafted until late.

I think the Broncos will trade the 29 pick for Abraham plus the jets 3 1a Pope ,I do not think Bunkley makes it to 22 pick. Pope is a solid blocker but is a great receiver. Pope had a 20 yard per catch his jurior year and is vary hard to tackle after the catch. 2. Claude Wroten.I hope he falls to Broncos. Wroten could give Broncos a pass rusher at dt. Had 6 sacks plus 26 qb hurries 3a from jets , Pat Watkins, 4.4 speed plus a 41 inch vertical at 6-4 .Would be hard for qb to throw over him. 3b Ron Sims ,solid offensive line prospect who can play both Guard and Tackle 3c. comp pick Bradon Marshall ,good 4 reveiver and spacial teams player because he play safety 4a Jemery Bloom .return specialist 4b Le Kevin Smith, ran a 5.06 fourty at 320 ponds 5 .

ok, i've read a few times now that pope is a great blocker and a good blocker. that's just not correct. he can't block well at all. that is the only reason he isn't a top 15 pick.

Your probally right he is just a average blocker but better than Putzier and Sharp and would be a great red zone target . I prefer Bunkley but most likely will not be there at 22 pick. The Broncos could go with Jackson or Homes but both could also be gone.

if there at 22, Bunkley is my new favorite. I also like deAngelo or LenDale if they drop (and they could if the right teams sign FA RBs), as well as Kiwi and Santonio.
At 29, I like Pope, Lawson, Santonio.

I sure wouldn't...
I think POPE is going to be a dynamic force in this league. Possibly even more than DAVIS, stranger things have been known to happen...
POPE would be an instant option to move the chains...
POPE and DUKE could be a real force for years to come...
If we could ever, some how, get both Deangelo Williams and POPE, I would be in seventh heaven... :thumbsup:

deangelo could drop to us. there are of course plenty of "ifs", but:
IF the Jets take Brick
IF the Cards sign a FA RB
IF the Ravens sign a FA RB or go QB
IF the Vikings take Lendale or sign a FA RB
4 IFs, but the Jets NEED line help and have a few backs for now. There are some real good names in FA. Edge, Ahman just to name 2. This could happen.

The ravens are leaning toward a running back or Huff if falls to them. There are to many "if" there for the scenario to happen.

i know, but they are realistic.
It would be smart for the Jets to go QB or OT w/ the 4th pick. They may even try to trade up for Leinart. After that, noone really needs a RB until zona who has been included in talk of signing Ahman or Jamal. Do they spend a top 10 pick on a RB after signing a FA and using a #2 last year? I doubt it. Then comes Bmore. So many issues, but DeAngelo is a definite possibility. then again, so is LenDale. The team I worry about most is Minnesota. There has been talk of Edge making his way north though. If we could trade up to get just ahead of them, I'm pretty sure we would have a great shot at either DeAngelo...or LenDale.

They are two totally separate types of animals, It just depends on which one you like in your zoo.

schefter just reported that minn and zona want Maurice Morris REAL BAD. One of these 2 teams lans him and that is one no longer needing a RB in the 1st with all the top FAs still out there.

I like the idea of #29 for Abraham (paid for by Pryce), restructure money for TO, drafting the best DT available at #22, Byrd in the 2nd (not likely) and then Jerious Norwood in the 3rd. If we get the CBA in order the possibility might exist from a funds standpoint; then it'd just come down to luck.

Maurice Morris? As in Seattle's Maurice Morris? If so, I don't blame 'em. He's stuck behind the supposed supastar, and he deserves a shot. In my opinion, he's shiftier, faster, and a much tougher runner than Alexander is. He's just never gotten a shot.

The Broncos could also make a play for Morris. Dayne Morris and Bell at running back plus Pope at Te and TO at wide receiver.

hi, new here, love the site.
my idea on how the first day sets up is in 2 parts. The first part is based on if TO signs and denver gets Abraham from the Jets for the number 29.
The second theory is based on they got neither
IN the first round at the number 22 i say they package use the number 22 and maybe Tatum Bell and trade up and draft LenDale White.
In round 2 if WR Chad JAckson is available get him and groom him to take over as the number 1. If he isn't draft S Ko Simpson so they have depth and a replacement for Lynch in a year or 2.
In round 3, get Jeremy Bloom. He is a raw talent. He could work on being a productive number 3 receiver in a few years and can contribute on Kick and Punt Returns. It would take pressure off of Darrent Williams and make sure he is healthy all year.
__________________________________________________ ______________
Now in my 2nd possibility.
In round 1 i say get, WR Chad Jackson at number 22, and RB Lawerence Moroney at 29 if they are available. If not get DT Broderick Bunkley number 22 and get C Nick Mangold at 29.
Round 2 S Ko Simpson or Darnell Bing
Round 3 Jeremy Bloom
