Thread: I would like us to use are first pick to get the next...

I know that we all want us to get the next John Elway and Terrell Davis on offence; but defence is our biggest consern right now. So what Defensive star from the past would you like us to draft the next one of?

Randy Gradishar - 9 Straight Pro Bowls. He was the heart of the origianl "Orange Crush" defense.

Karl Mecklenburg - Play all of the front 7 possitions the last time we used the 3-4 defense. Can anyone name any play in NFL history that could excell all at 7 the way he did?

Rulon Jones - Karl's "partner in crime."

Steve Atwater - Owch!

Dennis Smith - Owch! - He and Atwater took the concept of the 1-2 punch to a painful new level.

Other - No "hire guns" please. Come up with someone who is recognized as a Bronco.

Jay Cutler

In case you did not notice, I defense was horible last year. I would like to talk about that. Maybe I try back in a couple of weeks.

Greg Kragen...............I want to see someone here dominating the point of attack

i want the next terrel davis

or the next bill romonowski.

Romonowski was a hired gun who played for about 5 different team. He only played for us for about 4 or 5 seasons.

How about we draft an English teacher?

I kid, I went with Randy because I think that if we have a good core then we can put other pieces in around him.

I love Greg Kragen, one of my favorite players ever. But didn't he weigh like 270 lbs. He would get swallowed in today's NFL.

True! You won't find the loyality in today's players as you have named or as the BRONCOS of yesterday.

To have a player or two or three or all eleven on defense with Romonowski's intensity and aggressive would make this defense one to be feared. Like I tell my kids that I coach on defense, you can have the strength and speed, but if you lack intensity and aggressiveness, then you'll never make a solid defender.

That's true of most players, I think Jones was only about 260...........

I want to see the modern equivalent

Gradishar.

Trevor Pryce.

Trevor Pryce...

(...the healthy one...)

Saw him at Dulles last month, BTW...

karl mecklenburg would be my choice, but unless everette brown's still on the board (unlikely), i'm not sure the value will be there for an OLB/edge rusher at that spot. . . . so, mark me down for "the next clinton portis"-- knowshon moreno. . . . (of course i'd prefer "the next TD," but it's not a good comparison for knowshon). . . . i'd also be happy with tyson jackson-- we'll call him "the next trevor pryce". . . .

I took Atwater, after watching that Superbowl 32 game a couple days ago I realized how much a great safety impacts a game..... Atwater was as big of a reason we won that superbowl vs Green bay... Him Tony Jones and TD were DOMINANT that game.
