AFC West Denver Broncos

[OnlyInUtah]

With the resigning of Hillman, I see us drafting a top Safety in the 2nd round. After losing Bruton and Bolden to free agency, I see this as a priority need. I really like Karl Joeseph out of West Virginia, but coming off a knee injury, he is a bit risky. I can see taking him in the second and grabbing another Safety in the 3rd or 4th. His team mate KJ Rollin would be a great middle round pick up. Others to consider, should we draft two safeties would be Jeremy Cash from Duke and Tyler Powell out of Ohio St.

I don't like them bringing Hillman back. Shows how weak the free agency crop is this year on RB's.

[OnlyInUtah]

I also see the Niners taking Lynch at 7 or trading back ahead of the Jets and taking him then. And if Cleveland does the unthinkable (remember....this is Cleveland we're talking about) and takes Tunsil then the Niners will take either Goff or Wentz...whoever is left...at 7. Even if that happens giving up a 3rd and a 5th to move up ahead of the Jets doesn't appeal to me. I'd actually rather have Cook at 31 anyway.

[Jarhead93]

I'm thinking that the Kap deal is dead. Looking at what a rookie qb (7th pick overall) would make (3.2 mil) plus the 5 mil the Niners would have to pay Kap for the Broncos to trade for him, The Niners would in essence be paying an unproven rookie 8.2 mil. I'm guessing they would rather keep Kap at 11.9. With the Rams trade, the top two picks will almost certainly be QBs. The next team to likely pick a QB will be the Jets, So, If the Broncos are going to get Paxton Lynch(The guy I think they want) they are going to have to try and trade up ahead of the Jets at 20th and the Cardinals at 29th. I'm thinking that will take our first, a third, and a fifth to get there.I'm guessing a likely trade partner will be the Falcons at 17, because they don't have a 5th or 6th round pick as it stands right now. Here is the draft order for all 7 rounds, see who you think we could possibly make a trade to move up with.

No offense but Lynch reminds me of Oz...and I never was sold on Oz. If Lynch doesn't drop to 31 then I think we could put our 3rd and 5th rounder to better use than to waste them trading up just to get him. Especially with Conner Cook still out there for less. We need a decent RB, OL depth, safeties, another LB and another DT with our extra draft picks and third and 5th rounders are valuable picks.

** I don't think the Kap deal is all the way dead, "mostly dead" would probably fit well here.
I disagree with whomever said that SF would rather pay Kap 11M ++ workout bonuses or a rookie some "lower number" WHAT?
Why in the world would you pay Kaepernick anything more than his prorated salary right up to the point that the draft begins?
I understand we are talking about professional blunderers (Firing Harbaugh) but to keep Kap for all that GUARANTEED money is outrageous!, If I was SF, I'd be on the phone with #7 right now seeing what I could do to free up as much cap space as possible, I know they have boatloads, but seriously folks, that is not a wise use of your money, pay whatever you have to short term to get this guy off the team now before he starts the "prima-dona" behavior, right now he is just disgruntled. Soon it will move up to aggravated>Irritated>disruptive>prima-dona. (See Terrell Owens as he was leaving Philly after the Super Bowl loss)

[OnlyInUtah]

With Hoyer out there now the Niners are losing leverage by the minute. Now 3 teams a reportedly trying to trade with the Browns for the number two pick. If SF is one of them they are looking to unload Kap to Denver for one of the draft picks they'll give up plus probably will eat some of Kap's salary for this year as well. SF is going to try to dump Kap. Their relationship is far too fried at this point.

And if Cleveland does the unthinkable (remember....this is Cleveland we're talking about) and takes Tunsil then the Niners will take either Goff or Wentz...whoever is left...at 7. Even if that happens giving up a 3rd and a 5th to move up ahead of the Jets doesn't appeal to me. I'd actually rather have Cook at 31 anyway.

Goff is a Cal guy so he has a following in LA so I think he goes First to the Rams I have them picking Tunsil OT from Mississippi. There isn't a QB in the draft that good to go as high as 1 and 2 IMO. I don't see one going until the cowboy Maybe but They should take Bosa DE Ohio ST. 9er's take one if they trade Kap or they just pay Kap and wait for a better crop next season. Even the Broncos don't need to Jump out and draft a QB in the first. The only reason any team does is so to keep them for the 5 years on a rookie contract. I agree with you Utah we need too much to trade up and I'm sure most teams are picking defense in the first

Sanders wants to retire a Bronco
http://www.milehighreport.com/2016/4/18 ... e-a-bronco
This is my biggest worry for next season can we bring him back if we don't sign Von to a long term contract this season. Who would we rather keep Sanders or DT next season.

I have read and considered both of your takes on this situation. You both make valid points. Points I have taken in to consideration, when I formulated my plan. I agree Jarhead, Kap is likely gone from SF, I just don't think it is to Denver at this point. Ute, I know how popular Cook is in here, and I'd be just fine with him in Denver. That being said, I know how Elway feels about getting that big QB, and with similar talent, Lynch will stand out head and shoulders above Cook in Elway's eyes. I think the Cardinals will take Cook at 29, so if we do want Cook, we will still probably have to move up to get him. Remember, we have two 3s and two 5s, and will still be able to address our other draft needs. By resigning Hillman, that tells me we won't be using an early draft pick on a RB, and after Booker, every one else will be a 4th round or later talent. We addressed the DL and OL pressing needs in free agency, but I do see us taking a DL, Guard, or Utility lineman in the third. I think we go as usual and grab ILB in the later rounds for depth there. The fun part of all this is, the wait and see. I'm sticking to my guns on what I think is an educated guess on what Elway and Kubes will do.

Just B/C we signed Hillman doesn't mean we don't take Henry if he's there. We could be letting Thompson or Bibbs go Don't count out the backs Hillman hasn't shown us much over the years and Henry is a far cry better. now that Jaylon Smith didn't clear his medical check and they say he may not clear for next season would you take him as the last pick in the draft? If he comes back next season he would be the steal of the draft. He was going top 5 if he cleared.IR anyone?

Shefter on the Browns at 2.

**I'm thinking that for once, the Browns might have the right idea, the problem is the teams that really need a QB, (RAMS, DENVER, SF, JETS, Cowboys aren't really in position to do anything. Now that the Rams have traded up to get their guy, Does Kelly do some trading? they haven't done ANYTHING in free agency, which may or may not mean anything, they could be saving all that cash to pay Kap to stand around. <aren't they doing that already?>

I think the niners will move to get the "other QB" meaning whomever the Rams choose, they will try to get the other guy.
maybe we are all speculating too much and the rams will do the real smart thing and get that Jalen Ramsey kid to build on the defense <yeah right>

[SouthStands]

Ok...here's my little-more-that-a-week-out mock for Denver.

The more I read, the more I like Nkemdiche. Other teams overthinking this kid is going to benefit Denver. I really like his versatility. I think Wade and Kollar would line him up all over the place. I'm not saying he replaces Malik Jackson. That's a given. I'm saying he looks JJ Watt-esque on this defense. Garnett and Benenoch will provide the depth the OL needs, Brothers is faster than his combine suggests and I think he'll lock down the ILB spot next to Marshall. Robinson is a good press corner while Green and Kearse played well in Clemson's secondary. Prescott needs some time, but he'll develop into exactly what Kubiak needs. I like the raw Donovan McNabb comparisons. Marshall and McCaffery have high enough upside to be taken late in the draft.

Round 1 (31) - Robert Nkemdiche - DL - Ole' Miss
Round 2 (63) - Joshua Garnett - OG - Stanford
Round 3 (94) - Kentrell Brothers - ILB - Missouri
Round 3 (98) - Dak Prescott - QB - Mississippi State
Round 4 (136) - Rashard Robinson - CB - LSU
Round 5 (144) - TJ Green - S - Clemson
Round 6 (219) - Keith Marshall - RB - Georgia
Round 7 (228) - Jayron Kearse - S - Clemson
Round 7 (235) - Caleb Benenoch - OT - UCLA
Round 7 (253) - Max McCaffery - WR - Duke

[YiRox]

Keeping with tradition, I have changed my avi to match my first round pick preference, Paxton Lynch

Why are you using the New York Jets number 1?

I guess that is a polite way of saying, you don't like my previous post?

Not at all Icky, just have an unsettling feeling that Lynch will be the biggest winner of the trade. He was as close to a lock to us at 31 as there was out there until the Rams did what they did. I love the kid. His tools and arm are superior to Oz. He can make the JFE throws across the field with both accuracy and some zip. Perfect fit for the boot system and 7 likes the taller QB's. I just don't think that he slips to us.

Hate Cook, will be totally pissed if he is the pick at 31. Would rather redshirt the kid from ND than see Cook in the first. He is the Cutler comparison.

If the Niners make any move prior to or on Thursday, we will end up with Kap. They will have to take whatever picks the FO hands out as replacements for the deal they made to move up. If they stay put I think they still go defense in the first.

[SouthStands]

Let me add a bold prediction for the Broncos' 2016-2017 season.

Mark Sanchez is a Pro-Bowl QB and leads the Broncos back to the Super Bowl

Laugh that up, it's absolutely fair. Here's my rational though...Sanchez knows he's been given a second chance. He is all in and is doing everything he needs to do to win the starting job. He was partly to blame, partly victim, in his time with the Jets/Eagles. Both teams were awful and relied entirely too much on Sanchez to win games. That's not his thing. When he was a rookie, those Jets' teams were built run first and defensive minded. Result? Sanchez beat Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in back to back years to get to the AFC Championship game. He's in the exact same type of team here in Denver. I think he resurrects his career and gives Denver a few good years to close out his career.

I agree Yi. The Rams move put a hamper in what looked like Lynch slipping to us. When I saw what might unfold, I went to work formulating a trade that made sense to me. I scoured of the the draft order to try and find a likely scenario that would fulfill my selfish wants...lol... Falcons are short on picks is what I spotted, and how I came up with that plan.

What is up Southy, good to see ya man.
I'm liking what you put together there, I think I will wait a bit longer to post my mock. I have some bold predictions on here already, and it will be hard to tie them all into a sensible looking 7 round list. I do have to say, I'm not a fan of Prescott, he just didn't pass my eye test in the films I have watched. But hey, I'm as far as you can get from being an expert on NFL QB potential.
Just to let you know, we have two 5th round pics, and two 7th round pics, as of now.

Hey Icky...good call on the picks. I pulled those picks from the http://www.denverbroncos.com site...oops!

Let me correct

Round 1 (31) - Robert Nkemdiche - DL - Ole' Miss
Round 2 (63) - Joshua Garnett - OG - Stanford
Round 3 (94) - Kentrell Brothers - ILB - Missouri
Round 3 (98) - Dak Prescott - QB - Mississippi State
Round 4 (136) - Rashard Robinson - CB - LSU
Round 5 (144) - TJ Green - S - Clemson
Round 5 (157) - Victor Ochi - OLB - Stony Brook
Round 6 (219) - Keith Marshall - RB - Georgia
Round 7 (228) - Caleb Benenoch - OT - UCLA
Round 7 (253) - Max McCaffery - WR - Duke

...I'll take away Kearse and add Ochi. He's a wildcard OLB for me. I've seen him mocked from the 5th all the way down to a UDFA. Playing for Stony Brook, the kid really was head and shoulders above what was on the field. I think he can line up all over the place in Phillips' defense. He loves the game and plays with a relentless motor. He can fill the gap left by McCray and provide more LB depth.

To the Prescott thing...yeah, I get what you're saying. From what I've read though, he's a natural leader and has the raw ability to be a very good QB. My thinking for the Broncos' drafting him is rooted in an earlier report that Kubiak in 'enamored' with him. If that's the case, who am I to object? Ha! In the end, I think Elway and Kubiak draft a QB in the 3rd Round. Not sure if it's Prescott, but I trust Elway/Kubiak to make the right call. Especially because I think Sanchez is going to absolutely shock the NFL world this year.

Let me add a bold prediction for the Broncos' 2016-2017 season.

Mark Sanchez is a Pro-Bowl QB and leads the Broncos back to the Super Bowl

Laugh that up, it's absolutely fair. Here's my rational though...Sanchez knows he's been given a second chance. He is all in and is doing everything he needs to do to win the starting job. He was partly to blame, partly victim, in his time with the Jets/Eagles. Both teams were awful and relied entirely too much on Sanchez to win games. That's not his thing. When he was a rookie, those Jets' teams were built run first and defensive minded. Result? Sanchez beat Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in back to back years to get to the AFC Championship game. He's in the exact same type of team here in Denver. I think he resurrects his career and gives Denver a few good years to close out his career.

** What's up SS?
I'm going to have to disagree slightly with you, while yes #6 knows that this is his 3rd second chance, his attitude (much improved I must say) shows that he wants to win, the passing camp (YES!)especially because DT & Sanders were both there (love that) I think we won't really know what happens until 4/28.

Kaepernick a Bronco? (70% chance) rising to way over 80% as the draft gets closer, I suspect we will be getting that frantic phone call sometime next week. Probably around Monday or Tuesday
Also,, What number would Kap wear? Surely they will not un-retire #7 for him? What did he wear in college?
Trade up? (unless there is a serious can't miss franchise player) probably not

Kap wore #10 for my Nevada Wolfpack. Seeing how that is now owned by Sanders, I think he will have to find another. Maybe that's what the hold up is...

Kap wore #10 for my Nevada Wolfpack. Seeing how that is now owned by Sanders, I think he will have to find another. Maybe that's what the hold up is...

Here is where I read about the safety's

Well shoot, that put a wrench in my draft predictions, I like Keo and think he is a solid back up. He better keep his nose clean though, he had an off season DUI and can't afford to get in more trouble. I think Ross may end up being just camp fodder. I still like Joseph in the second

Let me add a bold prediction for the Broncos' 2016-2017 season.

Mark Sanchez is a Pro-Bowl QB and leads the Broncos back to the Super Bowl

Laugh that up, it's absolutely fair. Here's my rational though...Sanchez knows he's been given a second chance. He is all in and is doing everything he needs to do to win the starting job. He was partly to blame, partly victim, in his time with the Jets/Eagles. Both teams were awful and relied entirely too much on Sanchez to win games. That's not his thing. When he was a rookie, those Jets' teams were built run first and defensive minded. Result? Sanchez beat Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in back to back years to get to the AFC Championship game. He's in the exact same type of team here in Denver. I think he resurrects his career and gives Denver a few good years to close out his career.

** What's up SS?
I'm going to have to disagree slightly with you, while yes #6 knows that this is his 3rd second chance, his attitude (much improved I must say) shows that he wants to win, the passing camp (YES!)especially because DT & Sanders were both there (love that) I think we won't really know what happens until 4/28.

Kaepernick a Bronco? (70% chance) rising to way over 80% as the draft gets closer, I suspect we will be getting that frantic phone call sometime next week. Probably around Monday or Tuesday

We'll give Kaepernick #5...as in $5M. That's the amount the 49ers will need to give him for Elway to agree to any kind of trade.

I don't see the Kaepernick to Denver trade playing out for one reason...Jed York. That guy couldn't be more clueless as to how to run an organization. With Elway negotiating for Denver, York is grossly overmatched. Elway will either fleece York and get Kaepernick (possible, but not likely), or York will stubbornly refuse Elway's demands and be saddled with a QB that doesn't want to be there (most likely).

So York either gets fleeced or saddled...either way, SF loses and Denver wins...yeah, that's about right.

...and Jarhead, I know I'm overly optimistic about Sanchez. I really like his attitude since coming to Denver and I actually want to see him succeed. He's been the brunt of jokes for the better part of the last few season. I haven't heard him complain or play the 'woe is me' card at all. He's been traded and benched and has just kept plugging away. It's hard not to root for a guy that shows up and does work in spite of negative circumstances. Time will tell, but I'm hoping he pulls it together. Bottom line, Elway knows best and I'm good with that!

Nothing going on besides OTA's so the Kaepernick trade on or off is all on the waves again.

B. Marsh comes in to OTA's without a contract. Sammy Watkins goes to a casino Maybe we have the ring because the players want to win and want to be there for each other.
