Broncos | Two draft picks acquired from 49ers
Wed, 19 Apr 2006 09:39:07 -0700
The Denver Broncos have announced the team has acquired a second-round pick (No. 37 overall) and a third-round pick (No. 68) in the 2006 NFL Draft from the San Francisco 49ers. In exchange for the picks, Denver sends San Francisco one of their two first round picks, No. 22 overall.

[Ratboy]

That sucks.

[hades]

Hmmmm, don't know what to think of that.

Maybe we don't want to pay the price for 2 first round draft choices (contracts)

[Requiem]

If true, that value is spot on.

[freak6]

It's almost a wash on the point value chart, we get 20 pts of value, but I think it is a terrible move.

[Willynowei]

Difference of 15 spots for a 68th spot pick. Sounds reasonable.

[WABronco]

You guys are just being greedy.

Having a first, two seconds, a third, and 3 fourths is going to be crazy sweet.

You'll see...

[MileHighMagic]

Booooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

[bronco militia]

booo

[DarkHorse]

Booooo

I'd rather have stood ground at 15 and 22 but...... i'm not a talent evaluator so what do I know. Maybe the guys we were looking at started to show signs of crapola or possibly we were trying to move up and that didn't work out.

Whatever - just make sure we don't trade the 15th unless it's up - somehow.

[broncsyanks]

that blows

[Requiem]

The Broncos would have had to reach for a player at #22 or #15 in my eyes, and moving down for an extra third and for players with similar value from that point on makes a lot of sense.

Top targets at #37 - Mathias Kiwanuka, Leonard Pope, Marcedes Lewis and Maurice Stovall.

How can you boo this? The value between players at #22 and #37 isn't that far off, and the Broncos gained an early pick (almost a late-second) in the process. Instead of getting one talent at #22, they'll get two. This is a good deal, for both teams.

Wasn't it Wabbit the other day who said the Broncos had great relations with the 49ers?

Makes sense. Someone should give him a carrot.

[freak6]

It's gotta be Leonard Pope, or whatever RB falls there. There are DL that we could have taken with the 22, but I think this shows that we aren't enamored with them, and that we want to go offense with our 2nd pick, but not pay 1st round money for the talent availible at TE and RB. I guess this move makes sense, but I still don't like it. I wanted us to move up.

[broncsyanks]

so then we stand at 15 then 2 snd rounders and 2 3rd rounders? is that correct?

[Ratboy]

So what are our picks now?

(1) 15
(2) 37
(2) 61
(3) 68
(4) 119
(4) 126
(4) 130
(5) 161
(6) 198

[Merlin]

That is a good trade for this yr's deep draft. Not only that, but SF's picks in the second and third are much higher than Denver's (especially since we don't have a 3rd). SF's second is only marginally worse than a late 1st, and the difference in talent will not be large (if any). In fact some very good DLs should be available there (and a very decent RB should be available in the 3rd).

Now that everyone sees some names they should come around. We can get first round talent at 37 and get an extra THIRD along with it.

[The Big E]

So much for going into the top 5-6. This takes some of the excitement out of it, so let's hope they can make it work. I'd still rather have both first rounders, so I guess I must also say, boooooo.

only one third rounder (other went to Atlanta in the Abe deal).

[clint7]

Good. I can now pay attention to the draft in the third round!

[Requiem]

Like I said, I'd rather trade down than trade up. That's a lot of ammo, who knows what we're going to do now.

I agree that for our needs we are likely to see the same value at 37 as we would at 22, DT, RB, WR TE. Now I can hope that we grab that Minn Center in the third round.

[montrose]

I hate it unless it's to trade back up again.

I wouldn't mind a WR at #15, and a TE at #37
