The Broncos trade of the 22nd pick in the first round to the 49ers shows that Mike Shanahan wants to deal with volume on offense instead of isolating on one top player, ESPN.com's John Clayton reports.
What this trade does is put them in position to take a wide receiver, possibly Santonio Holmes at No. 15, and take a running back and a pass-catching tight end in the second round.
There is a need for the Broncos to come up with a wide receiver in the first day of the draft. Former first-round pick Ashley Lelie isn?t training with the team this offseason and is telling friends he wants a trade.
The Broncos have interest in trading for wide receiver Jevon Walker, who wants out of Green Bay. The problem is the Packers have not shown any indication of letting Walker out of Green Bay.

Santonio Holmes is a mid to late second rounder in any decent WR class. Chad Jackson is a better option, and I'd hate to take him.

The whole WR class stinks, where next year...

I don't know, we could get some 2nd to 4th round steals. Stovall with our second would be a great fit. Hass, Avant, and a host of others would be good value as 4th rounders, and there's a lot of big, fast QBs who might make good WRs given some polish. Its all about if Denver will take them without grossly overpicking, or will we make the mistake of overpicking one of the overrated trio, Jackson, Holmes, or Moss.
