But, point taken. If Manning goes down, the way this team is built, that's pretty much the end of the season. Hoping the Brock can step in and get this team to the playoffs is fools gold, at least that's how I see it. I do hope I'm wrong about Brock, I've said that from the begining. I hated the pick, but I am hoping he is the real deal and takes over when Manning retires. |

The likes of Ford, Atachou, Ealy, Lawrence, Crichton could be there or 1-3 of those. At DT, maybe just Tuitt, slim chance of Jernigan. But yes, a DT as an early pick isnt that crazy given the situation next year. Last edited by LikeABoss5820; 04-30-2014 at 04:03 PM.. |

![]() DE would be a position of a wasted first round pick. Barring another injury, we have DEs locked up. Wolfe and Malik are two very solid LDEs, Wolfe was a very promising player and Malik is flourishing. Not to mention Von plays LDE in sub packages.
At RDE, Ware is going to essentially be an every down player, as he isn't shabby against the run, and behind him is MY PICK Q. Smith, who will be fighting to earn time. We drafted him knowing he was going to potentially miss year one, so I don't see us giving up on him. I just don't see where a first round DE would fit? |

I do agree with this, but BPA is BPA. I guess you can never have enough pass rushers though. But i would take a DT over a DE which there is plenty of depth at. |

![]() Broncos need insurance for when Wolfe eventually craps the bed and fizzles out of the NFL.

Clark is good but gave up 7 sacks? And lots of pressures/hits. Decent player but overrated by some fans. Justice is depth, and Painter is a project. I agree on LG, and XSF, good prospect but similar to Beadles in size. All that said, i probably wouldnt take an OL in the 1st either but if the CB's and Mosely/Shazier are gone, and we cant move out, who do you pick? |

![]() Given the ambiguity around his medical events and the severity of them, I think it is a safe assumption right now to *not* believe he is going to be the player he was as a rookie.

![]() The Broncos will basically have 3 all-pro caliber MASSIVE OL this year. If they can't start crushing fools in the run game, something is seriously wrong with the scheme and coaching staff. Clady, Franklin, and Vasquez...give me a freaking break.
They should be able to get 5 yards every time running behind Clady and Franklin, a la Terrell Davis. |

![]() I would be perfectly gone with them drafting Moses if Shazzy or Ward is gone. Screw it. Trample fools into submission and hold the rock for 50 minutes a game.

They want depth and competition at the position. Quote:
I like all 3 of them. I think all are flexible and could play inside and out. Ford would be a wasted pick for us. He is going to end up playing a Von like role and won't be able to take snaps away from Von. Attaochu, Lawrence and Crichton are overdrafts at #31. They can be had in the 2nd. If we are going to take a DE/LB hybrid I would rather it be Van Noy and even he to me is a overdraft @ 31. |

We are a finesse and passing team on offense. That isn't going to change because we move Franklin to LG. We are going to have to pound the rock and not hurry up to the line and run out of the shotgun for that to happen. |

Agreed, just not sure they'll go DT in the 1st. But then again if they cant move out and all the players they want are gone, then it's possible. None of Att, Lawrence, Crichton will be there in the 2nd. I agree with Ford but he has crazy speed off the edge. |

Use Big O while you can, the way I see it, he has about 10 months left in a Broncos uniform. |

The Broncos are not a physical running team. They are not set up that way, it doesn't matter how Magazu coaches the OL if the offensive scheme is not conducive to that taking place. This is like spread team fans getting mad when their offense can't punch it in and be physical in the red zone. If your offense is designed to be spaced out and to take advantage of space then when the space gets smaller you will lack the advantage needed to punish the other team. We are a timing and finesse offense, if you disrupt the timing then it goes south. If the timing is on point then the offense is damn near unstoppable. You cannot go from "hurry hurry" timing and precision to tough, bruising, physical run game overnight. |

I like Clark as our swing tackle, but trust is big for PFM, I have real concerns about Clark facing SDE's who use power more so than finesse. Let us not forget Painter, he's a wild card here, similar in attributes to Moses, not as talented coming out, very raw with upside. And Justice is a competent back-up. So if Mosley, Shazier, and the fantastic 4 (CBs) are gone, I'm probably taking a DT or Jimmie Ward, depending who's on the board of course. |

Hypothetically speaking, if Elway is enamored with Mettenberger and Mettenberger is sitting there in the second round and the Broncos draft him, then the flip side of that coin is that Elway does not think Brock is the guy. Otherwise, if Elway really did think Brock is "the guy" he would not waste a pick on Mettenberger. So basically, Elway would be saying Mettenberger is better than Brock. Ouch. |
