According to Charlie Campbell of WalterFootball.com, the Denver Broncos are actively talking to teams about trading up in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Walter Cherepinsky ‎@walterfootball

#Broncos and #Browns are looking to trade up from 31, 32, @DraftCampbell reports - http://walterfootball.com/nfldraftrumormill.php …
10:22 AM - 23 Apr 2016

If a team is looking to trade up, they are targeting a certain player or two, so who may that player be? According to Campbell, the Denver Broncos are in the quarterback market and are targeting quarterback prospect Paxton Lynch.

Ugh. I will be really pissed if we trade up for Lynch. Hopefully I'm a moron and realize I should have just trusted Elway if we wind up picking him, but I just don't buy into his hype.

Well, we certainly have the ammo and firepower with draft picks to make a move. This probably makes more sense rather than trading back only because we only have so much cap room anyway. So maybe we are targeting players that could have an immediate impact. QB seems to be up in the air and there for anyone to take so if Lynch is the target maybe he simply outplays Sanchez or whoever else we have there. Wilson did it so anything is possible.

I'm trying to figure out North's point. He is using Wilson winning the job in Seattle as reason for why we should draft Lynch. I just don't see how those two things are related whatsoever. What is your reason for interjecting yourself into the discussion other than trolling?

Well no duh. Of course any player can win the job i think you totally missed what i was getting at. I get it, you are not high on Lynch (im indifferent for the time being) but im also not very high on Dak who i think would be a waste of a roster spot personally. The general point is Denver may be looking for quality players (maybe they feel Lynch is someone who can contribute now) over moving back and stockpiling picks.

Depends on who we're talking to. If we jump the Bills and Jets, the price would be steep. If we just jump the Chiefs at 28 (which MHR implied), it probably wouldn't be that bad.

I'm not big on Lynch, but I trust Elway. I'd rather wait and pick a d-lineman like Nkemdiche but so many things are in play by the time it gets late in the round. So hard to predict at this point

We shouldn't show our cards right now. If we make a trade pre draft for Lynch another team that wanted Lynch could easily just trade up and jump over us anyway. We should just wait until draft day. Teams that make trades early usually get fleeced.

But I do like the idea of getting Lynch. This will make me a happy Broncos fan. I believe he will be better than Oz.

we’ll probably never really know the first person to call April “Liar’s Month.”

The one laying claim to it probably would be lying, anyway.

But I don’t believe I’d heard the terribly truthful call until it came from the lips of former Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith.

It was about the NFL Draft, which brings about April Fool’s Month. (http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/apr/22/canepa-nfl-draft/)

In that tax returns also are filed during these 30 days, when you throw in the draft, April should have to go to confession and do 100 rosaries for penance.

Just the other day, after we spoke, A.J. emailed me a dictionary definition of “deception,” which he admits he practiced quite often and without shame in the fourth month. And he wasn’t unique, although being a veteran April fabricator, he was better at it than most of his more youthful comrades.

Oh, there are tangled webs being weaved as we attempt to get through this month.

The draft begins Thursday, with the first round, and if you believe one thing being said, which team likes which player, etc., then you probably bought tickets to the next Beatles concert and are enjoying your piece of the Brooklyn Bridge and Florida swampland.

Nobody involved in the draft tells the truth this month. If they slip up, they aren’t worthy of the office. It’s become a game, a charade.

“It is Liar’s Month, and we all know it,” said A.J., now retired and basically living the resort life in Del Mar. “There are a lot of ways to look at it. I guess it was maneuvering.

“There’s an art to misleading, to misinformation. You even do it a little with the GMs you know best, although some don’t ask so you don’t bother telling. But it’s still misleading. On occasion I would play some games, working the system to see if it could help us. And I was not the Lone Ranger. Not the young guys, so much, but the older ones loved to play games.”

If someone is reporting it then it's probably false or misleading information.

Barring a major trade up the board for a guy like Paxton Lynch, the Denver Broncos are positioned to take the last quarterback standing in the first round and expert mock drafters out there know it, which is why Connor Cook now leads the pack of players being mocked to the Broncos right now.

QB Connor Cook - 20.4%
DL Chris Jones - 12.2%
QB Paxton Lynch - 12.2%
DL Robert Nkemdiche - 10.2%
DT A'Shawn Robinson - 6.1%
All Others - 38.8%

SB Nation compiled a database of 49 recent mock drafts to assemble this data and although the consensus is currently Cook, he barely received a fifth of the total picks.

That should ruffle some feathers around here as it seems fans either love Cook or hate him. Those in the middle seem far and few between.

He does throw a nice deep ball. Especially when the guy is wide open, but I watched several of his games and he is just like sam bradford. Dink and Dunk 5-12 yards....He does not want to throw the ball any farther than that. Also my suspicion as to why his completion percentage is so high. He will keep the safties up because hed rather throw short. I am not that impressed with him, I dont think he is worth a first rd pick....Not many in this draft are, but if we are to reach on a QB I do not want it to be lynch.
I have my concerns about him.
Id rather cook or even hogan later.

My ideal scenario is we trade 31 to San fran for 37 and Kaep. At 37 we take Karl Joseph and grab Hogan in the mid rounds. Still leaving us with another 2nd rd pick and two 3rds to grab some DL/OL/RB

Denver won't make a pre draft trade specifically for a pick. If rumors are swirling around Denver moving up to nab Lynch and the Jets want to move up further, then they'd make the trade to get to 14 or 15 or 16 when that pick was on the clock and Denver then wouldn't make the trade to 19.

I agree, and I told Lancane the same thing TX just said, i just don't see it for that draft. Fwiw, even I had Wentz, Lynch and Blake Frohnapfel in my sig as early as July last year, NFL Draft Scout had them all ranked highly as Jr's, so they weren't too far below the radar.

Unless you wanna invest a premium pick in a zone-read project I haven't seen it this bad in a long time.
