NFL Draft Special: Broncos looking to trade up - The Orange Mane

dragondawg · 04-18-2006, 02:30 PM

they just said on NFL Draft special that the broncos might be looking to trade the 15th and 22nd to get into the top 5 to draft Vernon Davis, Mario Williams, or Reggie Bush if he slides, thoughts?

Crushaholic · 04-18-2006, 02:33 PM

Somebody's been reading the Mane. I doubt they got that information from the Broncos front office...

broncofan · 04-18-2006, 02:36 PM

Cool with me.

Any of them will be ok with me. If I had a shot at all three I'd take Mario...then Davis...then Bush.

fuzzy · 04-18-2006, 02:36 PM

I'd be all for trading away next year's 1st for something this year.

Behind the smoke and mirrors you will find a fake mirage and a trap door... which leads to a portal into John Malkovich's brain. When its said and done, you are spit out on the Jersey Turnpike and kicked in junk for believing anything you hear about the front office draft plans.

According to the draft value chart (take that for what you will) 15 & 22 are enough to get the Broncos up to #4.

If the Jets traded the 4 to us for the 15 and 22 I don't think a single front office member would survive the exit out of the building.

After all everybody knows draft day is the best day of the year for Jet fans right up until they make thier pick

Rohirrim · 04-18-2006, 02:47 PM

So far I've heard trade up, trade down and stand pat. I guess that covers all the bases.

I have a source that a deal is in the works for swapping Lelie for Walker and #22 & #15 for #5 in a big GB deal.

(That source being thin air, that I just pulled this out of)

Wasn't it the Jets who missed their pick a couple of years ago? I distinctly remember seeing a lot of stunned and P.Oed faces on TV...

I think that was Minnesota (and they did it 2 years in a row).

This just in. The Broncos will be drafting football players at the NFL draft.

Now that covers all the bases.

Finally, somebody admits where their source came from.

Not quite.......I heard that they are going to trade all the picks this year for all of the Saints picks next year.

and maybe a Skier.

Jason in LA · 04-18-2006, 03:27 PM

Looking at the new trend, maybe they'll draft all basketball players.

I'm not sure that covers all the bases... I know that Wesley Duke wasn't drafted, but he wasn't a football player either. Perhaps will draft a rugby player or two?

DomCasual · 04-18-2006, 03:36 PM

Can someone call that college kid that broke the John Abraham trade and confirm this?

Jason in LA · 04-18-2006, 03:37 PM

Hell, they might draft OMers. I'm declaring as a WR. 6', 175. I used to be really fast (city champ in the hurdles and ran at UCLA). I still have good speed. I'm only 29. I've watched enough Bronco games to know the offense.

Thinking about it some more, the Broncos will have to trade up to draft me.

clint7 · 04-18-2006, 03:44 PM

I'm not sure what has driven me crazy more on this board...the use of the term "smokescreen" or the polls with cute options of "It's Griese's fault."

Oh boy, not another one of these things again. It's not like this site is holy for the Broncos news. I'm not so sure that people like John Clayton are going to be surfing teams' fan forums to gain information. If they're trying to use that and pass it off as credible information, yuck.

NFLBRONCO · 04-18-2006, 03:48 PM

I'd love Mario Vernon or Bush but, I doubt Denver gets any of them too big of a cap hit.

Requiem · 04-18-2006, 03:51 PM

It's just the upfront money... bonuses, etc. Base salary probably isn't that bad.

eddie mac · 04-18-2006, 03:54 PM

The cap hit will not be an issue at all, with the Broncs still $7m under or thereabouts. It's the top 5 bonus money that's the problem and whether or not Pat Bowlen and Mike are willing to pay it. They've already dished out $20m plus this offseason.
