Who is the biggest WTF? pick we could make at #12?
 
Barring a trade, who is the most likely head scratcher you can think of at #12 in this draft? Last year I hated the move up for Moss. Is another WTF? pick in the cards this time around?

My prime candidate is Keith Ellis, who I think fits Shanny's idea of what he wants in a linebacker, a guy with speed. The dude reminds me of Ian Gold...blah...I hated the move for DJ to strongside and MLB but who's to say Shanny wouldn't do it again for another undersized guy on the outside with speed? My second choice would be WR Limas Sweed of Texas. Shanny likes Texas guys and he's shown he'll take a receiver in the 1st round. With Rod and Javon gone and Marshall having issues...you get the point...and I'd hate that pick too.

So who is it?

i think you mean Rivers here...

but i'm going to agree with you that Keith Rivers would be the biggest head scratcher to me...other than QB obviously...

RunSilentRunDeep 04-22-2008 12:02 PM

Any CB or WR would make me cry.

Beantown Bronco 04-22-2008 12:05 PM

Honestly, anything other than a DT or OT would be a head scratcher IMO.

bowtown 04-22-2008 12:05 PM

The Broncos will take Balmer, and it will be a mistake. Write it down.

theAPAOps5 04-22-2008 12:06 PM

Matt Ryan

That would be the ultimate WTF and I would go on a 40 day and 40 night rant that would make O4Life proud.

JCMElway 04-22-2008 12:11 PM

Yeah, I hope the Broncs don't jump for Balmer at #12. If we can trade back into the 20's, I have no problem getting Balmer.

Taking Rivers or D Jackson at #12 would be a mistake as well.

NFLBRONCO 04-22-2008 12:11 PM

Phillips at 25 I'd be happy with him not at 12.

bronco militia 04-22-2008 12:17 PM

Maurice Clarett.


errrrrrrrr

orinjkrush 04-22-2008 12:17 PM

Rivers. or any LB. i could understand any OT or RB.

montrose 04-22-2008 12:28 PM

Rivers seems like a WTF pick, but Shanny's heart-on for LB's shouldn't make it too surprising. Reaching on Balmer of Phillips for need would also be a WTF pick, IMO (lol, j/k, STFU Montrose). Jackson could be another, although with the constant problems in the return game I could see it. CB would also apply, however with Foxy and Paymah's pending FA along with Bly's contract and a deep year for CB's - that is somewhat explainable as well.

So what would be a pick at #12 that would just absolutely blow everyone way and say WTF!? How about hometown boy Calais Campbell? He's be a major reach and at the DE position where we've already selected players the past few years yet it's so far out there I could see there being a crazy 1% chance Shanahan would do it.

Shanny is using genetic manipulation to create the ULTIMATE hybrid super LB/DT/SS! Keith "The Trojan-horse" Ellis!!!

Gcver2ver3 04-22-2008 12:40 PM

I heard somebody on the Mane saying they thought we'd draft the DE Harvey out of UF...

that'd be another head scratcher...

Ziggy 04-22-2008 12:48 PM

Kenny Phillips at 12 would be a huge mistake.

Yeah its hard to disagree with this. I think a defensive end would surprise a lot of people too.

Requiem 04-22-2008 12:53 PM

I'd **** myself and probably kill someone if we took Balmer at #12.

shakenbake 04-22-2008 12:55 PM

If they take Keith Ellis at 12 that would certainly be a head scratcher... Who the hell is Keith Ellis? Is he related to that Foneco guy? If he is then I am all for it.

I changed my mind. Keith Ellis at 12 would be good. We could use a good motivational speaker to help get the guys fired up. Looks like he helps with goal setting

He's half Keith Rivers, half Sedrick Ellis. It's like MANBEARPIG, but with two of USC's highly touted prospects.

The speed of Rivers, the run stopping ability of Ellis. . . but the brains of a co******ing moron. Did I mention I hate USC?

Oh boy, do we have another Foneco on our hands here? :rofl:

It could happen. Dude is being talked about going as high as #7. He's an SEC boy that the Broncos love and while the DE position is better than others, it's still not a strength, IMO. Remember when we took Middlebrooks in 2001 a year after taking O'Neal and when we still had D.Walker on the roster? This could be a similar scenario.

I don't like Balmer either, but I'd be blown away if donks took him 1st without trading back...

boltaneer 04-22-2008 01:18 PM

I hope the Broncos take Chris Williams.

NW Bolt Fan 04-22-2008 01:19 PM

I hope they take Otah.
