Re: Rumor from Denver
 

[quote=Dirtbag359;783534]We need to find a way to get 10 draft picks this year so we can draft 10 offensive lineman and run an offense with 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 TE, and 8 Offensive Lineman. Sometimes we'll take one offensive lineman out and put in a second Tight End. We'll call that our spread formation. Oh and no QB's drafted on day 1. This offense is strictly limited to serviceable veterans and young developmental late round prospects who will never see the field because they are "developing."[/quote]
I endorse this post and the sarcasm used to create it.

Very simple. My friend would not want his identity known on a site related to an NFL team; it would not do him any good professionally. So, I have tried to give folks here an idea of what he told me and a generic description of his history related to the Broncos franchise.

If you prefer not to read about rumors - - where even if sources are cited they are probably not all that authoritative or else it would not be a rumor - - stay away from threads with that in the title.[/quote]

Don't be such a curmudgeon. :D

[quote=Ruhskins;783425]Well Darth Hoody and the Patriots have the ammo to move up if they want.[/quote]Unless Hoody sees a player he really likes in the first round (Jerod Mayo for example), he typically trades down and stockpiles late 1st and 2nd round picks, which are usually productive players at a cap-friendly price. I wish that we worked the draft the way NE and Philly do.

[quote=skinsfaninok;783505]Thats bcuz of dumb ass VC/DS now MS/BA are running things lets hope they change it[/quote]

You mean like trading for McNabb and giving up a 2nd and 4th rd picks to the Eagles for a QB that Shanny does not want any more. So now what can we recoop any picks or pick for McNabb this year? If we dont what a waste of 2 picks for us.

Re: Rumor from Denver
 

Well, as I said earlier in this thread Broncos rumors are tied as much to them looking to save some money as anything else. End of the day I think they stay at #2. And yes, MS does like Gabbert (or Kyle really does, I forget which one), but they're not trading up for anyone. I mean never say never, but I'd be totally stunned. If anything they'll trade up from the top of round 2

Re: Rumor from Denver
 

No way this trade happens. We don't have enough picks to move up 8 spots, and we can t afford losing a 2nd rd pick for Gabbert

Re: Rumor from Denver
 

Lets swap picks, send them Fat Albert, take Gabby done and done.

[quote=Slingin Sammy 33;783482]I don't think I'd go get Fairley to play DE in a 3-4. If we were in a 4-3 then yes, I'd get him as a 3-tech, but in a 3-4 I think he'll be less effective.[/quote]

SS33, who do you think is a pick at ten best fit to play DE in our scheme?

Re: Rumor from Denver
 

I honestly don't see the Skins throwing their only top two picks just to move up for one spot. They really need to, if anything at all, trade out of the #10 spot to pick up more draft picks themselves.

Re: Rumor from Denver
 

This seems like a difficult year to trade back, especially in the top 5. The uncertianty w/the cba/lack thereof makes it hard to determine just how much teams will have to pay these picks. I think we're in a much better spot to trade back than Denver.

It would cost them 1300 points in addition to their 10th pick this year to move up to #2 for Gabbert. It's a steep price to pay but as i have said time and again on here if it solves the 20 year QB problem it's a price worth paying. Franchise QB trumps all other needs. If Shanny views Gabbert as the QB that he wants to build around then GO GET HIM.

Look at it this way...would you trade Orakpo & T Williams for Sam Bradford? I love those 2 players but I would do that in a second. QB is the hardest hole to fill and you are not even in the game until you have one...

I think it would be more plausible to trade up with denver in the 2nd round giving them Haynesworth and our second round pick for their second round pick. Puts AH back in a 4-3 in the AFC West, far away from Washington.

We can't trade fatty or anyone else without a new CBA.
