As of right now, Limas Sweed has 36% of the votes and will be the Broncos pick...could it be that only Northwest Missouri is being allowed to vote?

I know you're just the messenger, but...:TJnPopps:
Okay, I feel better now. What a ridiculous pick that would be at 12.

Limas Sweed is a poor mans Brandon the BEAST Marshall, maybe...say NO to Sweed and any other WR with our 1st selection...

His last name has the word "weed" in it, doesn't look good for Henry.

Are we really supposed to care which player an internet mock draft's fan poll predicts the team will take a month from now? Mock drafts are an entertaining pastime, but they're 100% meaningless.

Limas Sweed and Brandon Marshall are quite different.
Sweed is actually a very good deep threat, and he's faster than Brandon Marshall as well. To get a WR with his height would help Jay Cutler's completion pct.
Still, I think we can get some pretty good WR's in the 2nd round and I think 12 is too high for Sweed. I'm afraid he'll be the pick though.

I never got why people get upset about a mock draft picking someone you don't like or even why people get all happy the other way around. It's pointless and means nothing.

Because in some morbid way they think they are actually the ones controlling the team.

Enthusiasm...meet wet blanket.
I linked it as much for fun and information as anything. Do I really *care*? Of course not. Would I prefer to see the pick be more reasonable? yep.

I just hope this isn't the pick on draft day. Not a top priority and there are a lot of quality WR's in this draft.

I think WR in first round is a real possibility and Shanny likes big wr like Sweed. I don't think a wr is out of the question with Walker gone.

well, i heard the broncos were gonna take clady at 12 if hes there. I doubt we would draft wr in 1st rd (i.e. good thing we didnt take chad jackson). I would rather get someone like manningham in the 2nd or 3rd and a rb in the 3rd. I mean we are getting really bad on OL and DL isnt very deep. If gholston or dorsey or ellis is there we should take them if not clady would be my pick.

No DEs should be drafted this year.
Why Sweed, If Clady is still there, why in the world would not pick him???

Now you see why the team never listens to the fans......
I feel a lot better about Shanny ploughing his own furrow and making his own random decisions knowing there's a whole wealth of useless dumbass advice out there in the fanbase that he's ignoring.....

If we go WR lets take Thomas over Weed.

If we draft Clady for LT, can Harris potentially play RT?

I think Clady might move to RT he is more versitle from what ive been told. Plus he wouldnt play much this year and would have more time to learn the position.

The results of that poll are skewed due to the fact that most of the national reports about our Broncos centered around the Javon Walker hullaballoo and the fact that these knuckledraggers know we've just lost a good receiver but don't know enough to see that the reason we lost him is because Marshall stepped up.

Thomas has off the field issues, it would be better option with Sweed or Kelly at this point.
