I'll be happy with either of Dareus, Miller or Petersen, so it's a win/win for me. I do think drafting Miller and getting Austin in the 2nd would be the best overall scenario as far as getting multiple stud players for the defense.

Regardless of where he ends up, I'm putting my prediction in for Miller to be the DROY...but then again, I apparently only think that because I share an alma mater with him.

I'll be happy with Dareus, Fairley, or Miller, and I think the Broncos go in one of those directions. Begin to fix the front 7, and change the culture of this team tomorrow.

Also was asked to do more this year than just rush played well in coverage. Would love to see him and Doom coming off the edge in passing situations with Ayers rushing from the DT position. I think Ayers could own OG & C rushing the passer.

I see it now. Yeah, I'm on board with that. I like Carter better than Moore. I still think the focus should be on a strong safety as opposed to a free safety, b ut I'd have no problem getting Carter in the 3rd.

Hmm, just not sure I think Ayers could keep us from being nailed by trap plays up the middle. Not enough power there... more a speed guy than a strength type. Not enough room to maneuver in the middle to use the speed thing.

Hope this is true. Miller is the one I've wanted for the Broncos #1 pick for a few weeks now. He's a unique type of player. Great pass rusher and they can move him around to show the offense different looks. Being unpredictable on defense is key in today's pass happy NFL. I'd like to see what the new d-coordinator from New Orleans (known for his creative pass coverage schemes) could do with a versatile player like Miller.

Darius or Peterson would be ok (I won't jump off the South Stands if either is the pick). But I think there will be some decent dlinemen available in round 2 (better than what linebackers might be available). Peterson has great potential but I wasn't all that impressed with him in his bowl game (amateur scout here).

I will jump off the South Stands if the Broncos draft and keep Cam Newton :-)

Just a hunch but I do agree with the theory that Denver is leaking this Miller news to trade back, my guess Plan A for Denver to trade back if they get the deal they want. If not I don't see them passing on Dareus. We don't have any DT's on the roster right now. Kinda hard to pass on the best one there.

Taking Miller would be an even bigger blunder than Peterson.

So, we spend the #2 overall pick on a 3-4 OLB whose specialty is rushing the passer and stick him in a 4-3 where we are going to expect him to make zone drops, bust up run plays, eat blocks from TEs and FBs (the real job of a SAM LB) for the MIKE and WILL to make plays, chase and tackle, cover man-to-man TEs and RBs out of the backfield and occasionally (probably no more than 7-10 times a game) do what he's actually good at (blitz)...

All I can say is, I really hope Miller is fantastic at shedding blocks (which is the one thing he's not good at). Drafting this guy, playing him out of position and expecting him to make an impact in a 4-3 scheme with no real DL in front of him to protect him will be even dumber than drafting a one year wonder DE in the 1st round who has never played outside LB and expecting him to be an impact player...

If we draft Miller, I have the sinking feeling he'll end up the biggest bust in Broncos history. In January, he was a prospective first rounder. After the Senior Bowl/Combine, he moved to top half of the 1st round even though he was dominated at Senior Bowl practices by the RBs in blitz pickup drills. After individual workouts he's in the top 3? Whatever. If ever there was a hype machine, Von Miller is it. This dude has Aaron Curry written all over him. :tsk: Therefore, I have NO DOUBT he'll be a Bronco.

Oh well, I guess we'll get a shot at Luck next year. Same old same old in Denver, **** the D-line we can obviously win with second rate talent there.

Exactly. We saw what happened with Ayers out of position. Ditto Beadles.

So where are they going to play Miller, is my question.

I'm not saying I know better than they. I'm just saying it scares me . . .

I read that Taylor is redflagged for some physical condition that cant be corrected.

Does anyone know how good Von Miller is at beating blockers as opposed to using his athleticism to avoid blockers? Its not that I want him to find blockers when he doesnt need to but he'll have to beat people more than he did in college.

Ive thought about this. Im OK with Miller provided his skill set is utilized. On that note, I dont see why DJ Williams shouldnt be moved to the middle and kick Von over to the weak side if necessary. This guy is a good piece and, if he can provide the pass rush that is projected, would could have a couple of Dobermans getting after the QB in Doom and Miller. The thing about Miller as a LB is that he could be moved around. I still have some misgivings with him but his skillset of getting after the QB to compliment Doom is a huge plus, provided it exists.

Id also still be OK with Dareus or Fairley. But one of the reasons I liked Fairley so much was getting pressure up the middle. Im not so sure there wont be someone like Miller later in subsequent drafts but, regardless, we need to get off the field on 3rd downs and cant have it come down to one guy (ie Doom).

Most doctors wouldn't even consider surgery on my feet as I've had a congenital defect in them but they did last many years... Surgery two years ago & last week...

At least in my case it's mostly a time issue, but... he is a big guy... In the past I've had to keep my weight down to minimize the pain...

I can see Denver taking him in the 3rd if they like him. If its not going to affect his play for a couple of years, that gives them time to find his replacement. If he can start and be an affective player, even if for a couple of years, he's worth a 3rd.

I really think Millers most dynamic skill, getting after the QB, will be utilized not from the SLB or WLB positions, but from all over.

I disagree. He rarely if ever played in a 4-3, is soft against the run (our biggest weakness) and yet we left two guys on the board who were ready from the word go in correcting that issue. We have a pass rusher in Doom, what we dont have is a playmaker against the run.

I just don't think a player that is ranked by most as the best defensive player in the draft is a HUGE project. Sure he has things he can get better at. No player doesn't. But this is a league of passing,and getting TO the passer.

That and I believe there are VERY good DTs to still be drafted, I think we got the best of the picks at #2 with the ability to still fill the DT spot later on. The draft is NOT made with the 1st round pick alone. This defense was not going to be fixed by taking Dareus at #2. We need Soooooo much talent to even get to "good."

I just don't think a player that is ranked by most as the best defensive player in the draft is a HUGE project. Sure he has things he can get better at. No player doesn't. But this is a league of passing,and getting TO the passer.

That and I believe there are VERY good DTs to still be drafted, I think we got the best of the picks at #2 with the ability to still fill the DT spot later on. The draft is NOT made with the 1st round pick alone. This defense was not going to be fixed by taking Dareus at #2. We need Soooooo much talent to even get to "good."

Lets pray your right. If not, just a continued suckage from this organization.

Just thrilled with this pick! He will be around the ball a lot more than any DT. What a great guy in Dumervile as his tutor. Amazing. The D takes a giant leap forward.

As Rav says so eloquently so, EVERY PLAYER HAS SOMETHING TO WORK ON.

However, Fairley can create havoc up the middle while Doom rushes the outside. Look back to 09' and look at what the Chiefs did to us on the ground WITH DOOM. Get back to me....

Yep. Hoping they get some quality beef in the middle or we are up crap creek without a paddle.

The next 2 picks will determine my satisfaction w/ this pick. I have no issue w/ Miller...other than the fact that he's not Marcel Dareus.

Dareus was #1 on my board, with Von Miller #2. I agree with Chaz, I'd expect Von to destroy some people this year and throw his name in for DROY (if it's not Peterson) but getting that monster in the middle is very important to me.

The Broncos believed they could do both (apparently) - get an impact pass rusher of the kind that Ayers is not and won't ever be, and still get a dominant inside presence. I think Austin is that dynamic guy, and Paea is just an immovable rock. I would take either, or both if the situation allows 10 picks later.

But at the first day intermission it looks like the Broncos calculated well. They could go for Bowers if they believe in the long-term outlook on his knee, but I'd prefer the inside guys, and they've put themselves in prime position to get a guy who can destroy the passer and disrupt that timing as well as a guy who can crush the run and mash the pocket from the inside.

If that happens, I can't complain at all. Go Von - love you as a person and as a player, and if you can learn to defend the pass as well as I think you can while still terrifying QBs then I'll love your fit for our team as well.

As long as there's some meat-grinder in the middle forcing teams into 3rd and long so you can feast on em, anyway.

I did want Denver to take Dareus but if Miller turns into the monster edge rusher that I've been told he can be I'm fine with that. We still need to find some solid defensive tackles I just hope that the guys that are available are worth a second round pick.

“Von is the first step of bringing back the old Orange Crush defense that you’re all used to seeing,” John Elway said at a team draft party.

Wouldn't that be nice?

My point is again this is a passing league. You can win some games by running but most of the top teams are known for passing.
