Thread: Broncos to get four compensatory picks

That and the ability to keep Manning healthy. If he stays healthy this season, the Broncos are legit super bowl contenders again. People are going to be surprised at how good this defense is.

And if they can stay the standard as other teams improve around them, the AFCW has become far less pushovers as they were the previous four or five years.

damn, you go back as far as I do.....

Well, this is a shame:

NFL admitted messing up Broncos compensatory pick. 6th round pick no 208 overall is now no 250 in 7th round

Mike Klis ‏@MikeKlis 3m3 minutes ago Phoenix, AZ

Broncos 4 compensatory picks - 4th round- no 133; 7th round- no 250, 251, 252

Sucks but at least we still get to pick 3 basically undrafted quality players that can't say no to us and sign with someone else.

How the **** do you mess that up??? And they wonder why people feel like the NFL is rigged.

Since no one knows the exact formula, it's definitely something that can be criticized. A guy over at Over the Cap was projecting picks, and he thought the 6th rounder we got was the strangest one, one that he couldn't explain. So it looks like he was right - we shouldn't have gotten that pick after all.

That's total bullshit.

I would not mind seeing Denver use comp picks to move up in like the second round if players fall out of first.

Like trading up for ILB Kendricks or McKinney in 2nd. Trade up like 8 spots ahead of teams that worked these guys out.

I know in some places we lack depth but not all over the baors. OL and LB are only thin places on roster now. Get OT round 1 and ILB round 2. I am not 100% on travathan and marshall as the two ILB next season. They are too similar of players and may not be able to get off blocks in running game. Irving type player will be wanted.

Comp picks aren't tradeable.

Use 5th and 6th to trade up. All comp picks are 7th rounders now except the 4th.

Sorry got confused, thought you meant use the comp picks to move up.

I agree, with having the picks I could see them be more aggressive with the other picks.

Why burn a second on a backer when we have Quanterus Smith who will transition to 3-4 OLB and learn from Ware, Barrow, McCray, and the dude we just grabbed on FA as backups? Using a second rounder on a higher priority position of need makes a lot more sense to me.
