Thread: Guard a bigger problem than we thought?

I hope DEN addresses the D-Line in FA. (Pickett,Spears etc,etc.)
And the O-Line in the 2nd through 5th rounds. (Pouncey, Walton etc, etc)
Of course i dont mind if DE Alex Carrington or another are drafted, but i would like to see some D-Line help in FA.

Spears is restricted. Him and Jahri Evans would both be worth the 2nd round pick if that's all that they were tendered at. I'd love to see the Broncos trade that 2nd for a proven vet. Pickett will more than likely either be franchised or re-signed. The Packers know his value, especially with Dom Capers at the defensive helm. Another player worth a 2nd is Mankins from NE.

Dude GB cant hold onto all of those highly paid d-linemen.
Raji will start one way or another, man. Hes making way too much to sit.
Jolly is worth way more than Pickett considering.
One will have to go. Having Kampmann and Jolly on either side
of Raji works just as well as Pickett.
It has nothing to do with value. It has to do with the fact that theres just too much money invested up front to hold onto everyone.
Franchising Pickett will only add to GB money woes there.
They will need to dump someone.

I hope you're right and I'm wrong on this one. They play Pickett at NT and Raji at DE on running downs. On passing downs they slide Raji over to NT and sit Pickett. It works for them, which is why they were the #2 defense in yardage in the NFL. They were also the #7 scoring defense. If they have to give up a player, they'd be smarter to let Jolly go, and find another DE. Like I said though, I hope you're right on this one.

Still doesnt mean DEN gets Pickett! LOL!
I believe Fields could do the same as Raji on running downs. I think Nolan did this in SF with him occasionally.
Jolly does have some off field problems, but i think GB keeps him, considering the money spent on Raji/Pickett.
We'll see.

Taking Dez at 11 doean't mean we are ignoring the trenches. We have FA and a handful of other picks. Historically, "stud" DTs have had more bust potential that the elite WRs. There is risk in taking a DT that early. Just sayin...

I still don't get the Dez Bryant 'tunnel vision'. I'd rather see the BRONCOS focus on McClain or the guy from Michigan if that's the case!

What tunnel vision? I have yet to list him as the guy I want in either of my mocks/updates. I just don't think he should necessarily be procluded as an option and definitely don't see why people would be upset if we took him. He is hands down the best WR in this draft. Taking a WR in round 1 does not mean we can't address other spots.
