Probably the best thing to do is just sit tight and take whoever is available as you pick. A deep draft means someone at #31 will be there who will fit your needs and be an impact player.

It's only when it's a bad draft class outside the top 10-15 and you're drafting 2nd round talent in the 1st round (and paying them 1st round money) that you need to move down. Unless you're Josh McDaniels of course and then you just jump around like an idiot for no good reason at all, which is why they don't let him near a draft board in NE.

The thing is a there are QBs who are rising and falling. Any player could drop and someone trade up for. Bridgewater and Carr are QBs who could be there end of first.

If it wasn't such deep draft I would agree. When Elway traded out the first round a couple of years ago the pool was a lot shallower.

I agree I think they should stay at 31.

I agree unless some special drops. Like teams keep snags all the QBs and a player falls, I think they can move up a few spots but not 10 spots.

Who would drop that would be that special?

Mosley, or a top rated CB.

I could see elway moving up a few spots and giving up a late round pick. Nothing big and no second day picks either.

Mosley sounds like he could be pretty but I'm not hearing that he's quite as good of prospect as Luke Kuechly was two years ago.

Elway hasn't moved up in the first round of a draft yet but there is always a first time.

Moving up ANY spots in the 1st round will cost more than a late round pick. Even moving up 3 or 4 spots would cost us our 3rd round pick. Unless we give up something from next year, we're either staying out or moving back.

What is Elway's record on moving around in the draft? I don't recall him doing anything but standing pat, but I could be wrong.

He traded out of the first when he got Wolfe. I think Tampa used our pick to get Doug Martin. It pissed a lot of people off.

last year the niners burned a 4th and moved all the way up to 18

More and more I think we move trev to mike and draft shazier.

I personally am not super high on shazier but it just seems that way.

I've heard a lot of analysts saying that Shazier is a MLB?...if Denver likes him and feels this way, they can leave Danny alone.

Moving LB's around can greatly reduce their impact. I'll give 3 examples: Ian Gold, DJ Williams, and Wesley Woodyard.

Btw does Kentucky have a draft eligible LB in this draft?
If so, hopefully Denver gets him...
Keep going to the well

I doubt it. Look at what broncos did 2 years ago traded down with Pats and got a 4th. Then traded down out of spot 31 and switched picks in later round
