Official Draft Patrick Peterson Thread

[ZONA]

Let's be real here. Is there ever a DL you would pick with the #2 pick for a 3-4 defense? Obviously you want talent on the front 3 but given the roles you ask out of those 3, is that worth a #2 pick? I'd have to say NO. Do we need improvements on our front 3, hell yes we do, but not with the 2nd overall pick. Hopefully we can get a 2nd for Orton or even a 3rd. As it stands right now, I'd have to take Peterson and then go DL with #36 and #46. What we get for Orton, look at adding either a safety or a take a chance on a really fast RB that can be a home run threat.

3-4 teams target linemen in the first all the time. That said, I do tend to agree that we shouldn't spend the #2 pick on one. Then again, as much as I like Peterson, I don't like the idea of drafting a corner at that slot either. God I hope we can trade down for some more picks. If we keep the 3-4 we can get a lot of good players for that scheme in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Cotton bowl is tonight, will be fun to see how Peterson plays knowing that he's listed as the consensus number 2 pick in most drafts. Does Texas A&M have any big name receivers he'll be locked onto?

A&M is staying away from him like everyone else.

Not really. He got lulled to sleep and gave up 5 catches unofficially by my count. Plus, was underwhelming in run support all night. He played pretty poorly IMHO.

After tonight's game, I'm in the trade down or take a DE/DT camp.

Dareus at #2 and that would be it for the DL, unless we change schemes and Fairley's talents could be utilized in the correct manner.

Still hoping for a trade down, but I'm still fine with Peterson even after tonight's game.

Love this mock from a non-Denver guy and I think it could go down this way...A.J. Green #1 to Carolina and our man Patrick Peterson #2 to Broncos. Two best players in the draft, IMO.
