Thread: Broncos 2016 Draftday Thread: April 28th - April 30th

31 picks on Thursday night (Why's that? ) in the first round.

If my memory serves me right, I believe the Broncos pick last due to the outcome of last season.
More rounds Friday, and still more rounds on Saturday

Get hype!!!!!

Been waiting a long time for this. I'm a draft junkie to the point that I have to watch every pick.

I'm pulling an all nighter tonight to meet a deadline, so I will probably fall asleep after the Eagles pick.

I'll usually watch the whole first round, then in most of the second.

Until we trade up

Denver Broncos Ring of Fame safety Steve Atwater and nine-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware are scheduled to announce the team’s 2016 NFL Draft Day 2 selections (Rounds 2-3) live from the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago on Friday.

Atwater will announce the club’s second selection as part of the NFL’s Legends Program. He is slated to announce the team’s second-round pick (63rd overall).

Ware, who will enter his third season with the Broncos in 2016, will announce both of the team’s third-round picks (94th overall; 98th overall).
Denver’s first-round selection will be made by 16 year-old Daniel Hailpern as part of a collaboration between the Denver Broncos, the National Football League and Make-A-Wish Colorado. The club’s Day 3 picks will be announced live from the base of Mary Jane Territory at Winter Park Resort on Saturday

Since this is like a game day thread, I feel compelled to write ... Go Broncos!

This is contrary to everything we've heard so far ...

Someone may be laying in ambush, but unless Dallas trades back into first round, hard to find a landing spot for QB Paxton Lynch in round 1.

Cover your eyes, UR:

QB getting the least amount of buzz who is likely to go higher than people expect: Mississippi State's Dak Prescott.

We will win tonight. Von and Demarcus will crush the.... sorry... Elway will do right by us. I think he's done damn well in the draft as the HMFIC so far, no reason to believe he won't continue to do so...

Makes too much sense to be true.

Was hearing teams are cooling on him but that makes little sense to me. Denver wouldn't take him at 31? I'd already heard there was a deal in place with Green Bay to trade up in front of KC if he started falling that close.

I guess it just all depends on who is willing to use a first round pick on a guy that wont be ready for 2 years, instead of filling an immediate position of need.

To follow up on this ...

Some have suggested that the Saints could target Lynch. (That’s not happening.) Others have linked Lynch to the Jets. Rich Cimini of ESPN.com says that’s not happening, either.

“Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch is the player most commonly linked to the Jets in mock drafts (including by me in the televised NFL Nation mock draft on Tuesday night), but I no longer believe that will happen,” Cimini writes. “I received late information on Lynch, and the sense I get is the organization has concerns about his maturity and ability to adjust to a pro-style offense. There’s a lot of smoke leading up to the draft, and sometimes it takes a while to see through it.”

... funny, because those are the exact criticisms we've had of Lynch for weeks.
