Well, some of you may be fans of this, some of you might not, but this is a four round draft going on at Football's Future and I'm Assistant GM of the Broncos there, (usually making the decisions though) and so far I've drafted:

Tamba Hali, Chad Jackson and Claude Wroten in the first two rounds. I traded our third to get up and nab Jackson. I know some of you might not be fans of that, but the way things were falling, (and as they did) I wouldn't have gotten the value I wanted out of #29.

I also traded up two spots in the second, (sent a fifth and swapped 4th's with Tampa Bay) to get Claude Wroten, I think at #59 it's good value there.

I still have #121 and #125, and two sixth-rounders (which are irrelevant because well, the draft is only four rounds).

In hindight I kind of miss giving up the third, but I think I've made some good moves thus far. Just give me some input on what you'd like to see me do with the other picks. I'm thinking maybe some value at RB, OL and maybe LB. Just let me know!

I would love that draft. Tell me about Wroten.

Wroten is a guy who would excel underneath Warren and is a classic example of a one-gap penetrator. He's good off the snap, has a high motor and always seems to be around the ball. He may look like a nice guy, but this guy has a nasty swagger to him when he plays on the field. Always giving it 100% and always tries to make himself better.

He played at LSU for two years, and had two very productive seasons with the Tigers, and was also one of the best JUCO players in the country before he made his way down to LSU. He's currently my #3 tackle on the board, (Behind Ngata and Bunkley)

On the flipside, he's still developing, could get a little stronger with his lower body and at times does struggle against the run. But that's okay, we have three linebackers who will stop anyone who gets past our line.

I'm not sure why everyone thinks he's going to drop so far. Those drug charges were bogus and were dropped, and where I got him is an absolute steal.

I know that everyone is talking about Bunkley, I love the kid too, but if this guy is around at #29, I think he's damn worth the look and he'd be a pass rushing presence on the inside of our line. Maybe that's too high in some of your eye's, but I really like the kid. If not him, maybe Mahelona in the third if he's around, but I think he's a guy who could work his way up into the second round come draft day.
