Pass the time: Pick a position...

[Popps]

O.K.. we've got a damned week to wait, which is going to seem like a year.

Let's kill a little football time, here.

So, we've all agreed that the QB position is getting a workover.

What's next? There's been a lot of talk about other areas of the team suffering.

If you're the owner of this team (not the GM, because coaches are fair game).... what is the ONE position you go after NEXT to improve this team going forward, and why.

Got someone in mind as a replacement? Even more interesting... let's hear it.... poll to follow

I've included most positions talked about around here, and a few where maybe guys are aging or replacements could be someone's choice.

[Northman]

Toss up, Oline or Dline. Take your pick.

[Popps]

That's no talk for an owner. Step up and improve your franchise.

[Northman]

Oline then. You can probably get away with a top 15 defense but in order to have the offense run smoothly you have to have good blocking. Oline. :)

Right Tackle to be specific. ;D

[azbroncfan]

Franchise RB or stud DL.

[Bronco Bob]

What don't you like about Bowlen? Would you prefer Bidwel or Ford?
Or did I misunderstand you?

Trade our first this and next year (it's not like we use them) and Plummer to Panthers for Julius Peppers.



Of course I know this is a pipe dream.

[Northman]

Peppers is good but not worth 2 first rounders.

[Elway 4 Life]

Effective pass rushing DE and a DT to compliment Warren. Get rid of Courtney Brown and Jake to free up some $. Maybe go after Javon Kearse or better yet Simion Rice. Then draft a franchise RB like Micheal Bush. We also need to address both safety positions in the draft.

2 very low first rounders............in my eyes he is.
But I was just joking around, there's no chance in HE.. of that happening.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

D Tackle... a stud DT is easier to find than a DE... and D Line is the most glaring weakness. I'd go with a ballhawking safety next.

I agree with everything in BOLD 100%

As someone pointed out to me in the last draft, rookie DT are the mostly likely to be bust or not show up in thier 1st season in the NFL. It lot easier to find a speed pass rusher to come on select downs to go after the QB. I finally really saw the kid from Nebraska play yesterday and he has the size and speed to 3 down end. Since were don't have chance at Gaines (Clemson) or Moses (Georgia), then he worth a look in thr first. Then turn to Mike Johnson out of Arizonia (#2 safety on Mel's big Board) in the second.

[JDB7821]

Gotta get a pass rush. I went with defensive end. Dumervil has some potential, but he's little for an end so there's no telling how long he'll hold up.

[DBroncos4life]

Adam Carriker :)

I seriously doubt Quentin Moses will be a first round pick.

[Dr. Broncenstein]

Can we put "change defense to 3-4" on the poll? I'd vote for that.

[atomicbloke]

I picked Punter/Returner because those positions are killing us this season.

Our Punter makes our average defense look even worse.

Our Returner makes our below average offense look embarassingly bad.

So we're gonna move Gold to Saftey?

[elsid13]

I seriously doubt Quentin Moses will be a first round pick.

Right now, he the guy ranked behind Adams on all the draft boards. He a little undersized at 245, but does know how to get after the passer and has the size to put more weight on

It still early to see how it plays out.

[elsid13]

a simple rating list (http://www.gbnreport.com/2007des.html) but similiar to the rest out there and Mel

Rank Size 40 times School
Gaines Adams 6-5, 260 4.65 Clemson
Quentin Moses 6-5, 250 4.70 Georgia
Victor Abiamiri 6-4, 270 4.80 Notre Dame
Anthony Spencer 6-3, 265 4.65 Purdue
Adam Carriker 6-6, 290 4.85 Nebraska
Dan Bazuin 6-3, 270 4.70 Central Michigan
Tim Crowder 6-3, 270 4.85 Texas
Lamarr Woodley 6-1, 275 4.75 Michigan
Mkristo Bruce 6-5, 260 4.90 Washington State

[orinjkrush]

Stud RDE. Been calling for it for nearly 3 years. Then RCB. But NOT through the draft. We can't draft DBs for SH*T.

[Elway 4 Life]

My whole thought process on Kearse and Rice is that they should come cheap.

[Crushaholic]

Special teams have been horrendous this year. Let's get a coach who can change up the schemes to fix that problem. Our defense is already on their heels if the opponents are allowed to start at the 30 or 40-yard line every time...

[Popps]

What don't you like about Bowlen? Would you prefer Bidwel or Ford?

You misunderstood me.. by a gizillion universes. :)

I love Bowlen. My point was that he was Bowlen for a day.

[Play2win]

I would normally say DT, but getting a stud RB alongside Cutler, with Javon and Marshal, could help the defense as much as anything. If we had a guy that was hard to bring down and could break a bunch of tackles, our offense could put together long sustained drives.

After a RB, its definitely a DT. DT before End, work from the inside out. It would change our whole defense.

If people are right about Cutler, the defense will automatically back off the run and Bell and Nash can do their thing.

DE is blowing up.

I think we need to storm the Dove Valley headquarters or something.

[Kaylore]

Two votes for Defensive coordinator. Well I can see Alec and Popps voted. :rofl:

It going to be great when draft a WR in the first round., isn't ;D

[Kaylore]

A wide receiver with marginal college production but who has "great measurables." I wish we'd look at good football players first and then measurables second.

[OrangeShadow]

STUD defensive lineman then stud rb

I'm not NEARLY as hard on the guy as a lot of folks, though I am starting to get that way.

It's just a tough call. Is it him, or is it a lack of talent? Tough to do much without dominant guys in the front 7.

You can look at him two ways... an overachiever who gets a lot of out the talent, or a guy who's squads continually come up short in big games.

I actually like him, but that doesn't mean a change there wouldn't help us. I don't know. Again, it would be nice to see him with some talent up front to work with before we made a decision on that.

And if it wasnt for the injury, would be a top 5 pick.

[elsid13]

I could actually see the Front office going with a wide receivers in the first, with if all the potential impact players that might come into the Draft this year. If that happen I hope we make a strong push for Justin Smith(CIN) and Cory Redding(DET) as FA.
