Legwold sure does a better job than Bill, and I think it's worth the read!

I'm not sure that's an "official" list. The way he words it sounds to me like he's guessing:

Quote:

As far as positions of need, the Broncos have the basic list of a team that didn't make the postseason. They need help at defensive end, defensive tackle (depending on whether they sign Michael Myers), kick and punt returners, running back and offensive tackle.

Hercules Rockefeller · 01-14-2007, 03:26 PM

Yep, that's Legwold's opinion of the "official" list. It's an obvious list, but with the way this team has chosen to address the DL the previous seasons, you never know if they actually value DL that highly.

Why would you say that. They brought in 4 starters for the 05 season and 1 starter and a back up last year. That is 6 players in 2 years more than any other position.

NFLBRONCO · 01-14-2007, 03:37 PM

I will be the first to call it

Ted Ginn Jr is going to be our #1 target come April.

BroncoInferno · 01-14-2007, 03:38 PM

Herc, I think they value DL, they just may be delusional about what they have. I'm going to wait and see what they actually do before I criticize, though. Shanny rarely tips his hand on personnel matters. I could see it going either way.

Sorry if I don't believe valuing a position is picking up other team's castoffs or using 2nd day picks. 6 new guys in two years makes it look like they're throwing **** up against a wall and hoping some of it sticks.

Paladin · 01-14-2007, 04:01 PM

Well, the new Dline coach might have some differing views about the subject, and I would suspect he would have some serious input into the overall D plan for next year. The whole point is to get some new ideas and that probably includes getting different people.

Reading some of the comments below frightens me. There are a lot of stupid people in the world.

Lets hope not. Highly over rated. DL or RB should be #1 concern unless a top DB or OL falls to us.

Well Who were the great players we passed on? Maybe Brown from Chicago but he was a 5th rounder. If we would have drafted Bunkley would you be more happy? Or signed Andre Carter to a 30 million dollar deal?

Barry Ramey · 01-14-2007, 09:25 PM

I'd hate Ginn as the #1 pick. A 2nd rounder? Sure, but I don't see him as being that great a WR in the Bronco offense since he doesn't strike me as the type to go over the middle much.

Incredible. How could you know I would write something this stupid below you?

FantomForce · 01-15-2007, 12:33 AM

Yes sign the man that will break the 63 yard mark. Sign him now so that when he breaks it at Mile High he will be in a Broncos Jersey

His value to the team wouldn't be in going over the middle, that's what Walker, Marshall & Scheffler are for. Ginn's contributions would be in stretching the field, catching deep passes from our rocket armed QB and returning punts & kickoffs.

He's not my first choice for the 21st pick, but I wouldn't be unhappy if it were him.

Ah, a decoy. But maybe he's just the decoy for our pick.

I've come around to it too. Could live with it, but would rather see DL or S addressed in the 1st.

NFLBRONCO · 01-15-2007, 01:14 AM

I'd be happy with DL or S in the 1st. I'm just saying the Broncos could use a speed boost at WR and the death of DW our ST's need a huge lift. Ginn would solve those issues.

4.29 in the 40? Damn...

Dedhed · 01-16-2007, 06:10 PM

I'm not a big fan of spending a 1st rounder on a STer, but with Cutler's arm a burner like Ginn could be a dnagerous weapon.

I could only stomach Ginn if we sign Sands and Smith during FA. Outside of that the DL needs to be addressed in round 1.
