    Default My draft would have been

    12- Orakpo- "Dominant" translates to any team.
    18- Ayers- If he slid, which he did, you grab him.
    37- Maualuga- Sliding....you get him.
    48- Moore- Solid player....good value.
    64- Jarron Gilbert- value pick.
    114- Brinkley- like his potential.
    132- Nic Harris- my guy.
    141- Ringer- better get a RB or homies will lose it.
    174- Pryor- yeah, he's a character....but it's pick 174
    226- Shipley- filling a need.

    12--Moreno
    18--Ayers
    48--A. Smith/McBath
    79--McBath/TJ. Lang or ?
    84--R. Quinn

    Forget the players that I wanted, if it happened like this, I'd have no problem at all. Trading that No1 for a 2nd round talent and failing to get value for those No3's are the reasons this draft fails.......

    We really didn't trade 2 3rd rounders to move up and get Quinn. We traded 2 3rd rounders, got a 2nd round pick, and moved back into the 4th. Not nearly as bad when you look at it that way. We got a 2nd and 4th round pick instead of 2 3rd rounders...pretty solid deal as long as Quinn turns into a player.
    I NO LONGER support Rahim Moore.

    Your draft is ghey. Orakpo is going to suck. Maualuga doesn't fit our system obviously, otherwise we would've drafted him with the 3 chances we had. Nic Harris doesn't have NFL speed. I do like Brinkley. We don't need Ringer, we have MORENO. AQ Shipley would've been a nice pick, but we got the OG/OC out of Iowa who I'm sure will fit the system.

    But per his mock we didn't get Moreno, making Ringer a solid pick. (I agree that Moreno would be a better pick than Orakpo though.)

    Denver got 64 and 132 for a total of 310 points, they gave up the 78th and 84th for a total of 370 points.......they lost the equivalent of another 4th round pick in the deal, in fact, the 60 points they lost is worth an even higher 4th rounder than the one they got in the deal. Taking compensatory picks into the equation actually makes the deal even more lopsided, the 132nd pick was 4 slots lower because of the 4 Comp Picks given out at the end of the 3rd round, making the 62 points equivalent of the 116th pick.

    Combine that with the No1 he gave for a No2 and Doogie was throwing draft picks around Bailouts.

    The 48th pick (McBath) and the 84th picks were worth 590 points, 60 points more than the pick they used to draft Alphonso Smith, just in case you were wondering.......so if Doogie was willing to take a 60 point loss he should have at least kept the 2010 1st rounder if he didn't want to take the chance on Smith still being there in ten picks.......

    I'm really big about judging players before they play, how about you?

    we took two mid thirds to move UP to the last pick in the 2nd round...(basically a third round pick).. and the last pick in the 4th round (basically a 5th round pick).


    So two thirds for a third and fifth (point wise the last pick in the 2nd and first pick in the third are just a few points difference.. same as the last pick in the fourth and first pick in the fifth........ just in case someone is saying that perspective is WAY off)

    Well after Alphonso Smith has 10 INTs and 4 Forced Fumbles we can all forget about this.

    Depends on who is available when Seattle picks.......Carlos Dunlap, Sam Bradford, Gerald McCoy, Eric Berry, not having the extra pick means all of these players are out of reach.......Smith is not a Top10 player.......

    One 10Int season does not make the risk worth it, btw, Smith will have to become an elite player if Seattle is picking Top10.

    It's a gamble that the Broncos cannot afford, there are too many question marks with Smith and too little collateral on the roster to cash that check.

    If Smith isn't there at 48, than oh well! He's that type of player TODAY, a 2nd round talent in a very weak draft, and there is not enough to gamble that he'll be worth it down the road.......
