Rumor from Denver

[sportscurmudgeon]

Just heard from a friend in the Denver area who has some access to the Denver Broncos.

According to him, the Broncos are seriously considering trading down from their #2 pick with the objective of getting a lower pick in round 1 plus a pick in the second round. As things stand now, the Broncos have 3 picks in the top 50 but the thinking at the moment is that the Broncos need upgrades in enough places that the #2 pick is best used to get 2 players instead of only 1.

Two teams mentioned as potentially interested in such a deal are the Saints and the Dolphins. [Aside: I don't know what the Saints might do with the #2 overall pick but I would have to think the Dolphins would use it on a QB.]


This is a RUMOR - - but it comes from someone whose knowledge of the workings of the Broncos has been pretty good in the past.
