Thread: Who do you WANT Denver to take with their first pick?

"Without the injury, Joseph is a top 15 pick. If he's there at 31 and no immediate OL upgrades are available...I go with Joseph in a heartbeat. Especially with the OL depth in this draft. Joseph is a reincarnation of Brian Dawkins.

That being said, I predict at least 2 safeties will be drafted in the 1st round."


I know his injury was non-contact related but the dude is 205 i believe which makes him average size. He plays like hes much larger than that and i can see him being one of those safeties thats always hurt due to the reckless way he throws his body. But you are right he has amazing ball skills and would be a great player so I see why you want him. I just believe in the trenches first, especially when we might have sanchez or a rookie back there taking hits

Nkemdiche, Joseph, or Bell would all be good with me. Schefter is saying he thinks Lynch will fall - he's not listed because the odds are very slim, but if he did fall I don't think we could pass him up. Do not want Cook or Hackenberger - would rather see Prescott or Hogan later in the draft than either of those two.

I know. I was just giving you a little bit of a hard time.

dak ran an awesome three-cone. . . just sayin'!

Ill take Dodd, nkimdeche, Joseph, Cook.


I dont understand the hype with Lynch. I dont see the upside he has either. The guy just only throws short. Id rather clean up cooks footwork then try to make my qb read the d better and not just throw short.

Hopefully he runs an awesome 3 cone for us..........after the 5th rd.
I am so freaked out that we take Joseph at 31 and then trade up in rd 2 for Dak. Burn one or both of our 3s to do it. I am so scared. Its one reason why I really really really hope we just draft cook at 31- even though I believe he will be gone long before it.

I always need slim to hold me

1. I want Denver to get a QB because if that occurs it means I can buy into the next guy for the future. But if Denver doesn't make that happen, I'll take it to mean that cost was either too high, or the guys available just weren't the right ones.

2. Offensive lineman or defense. It seems pretty obvious. I don't think Robert Nkemdiche will be there, but if he is that's the pick.

Slim gives good hug.

I am a hugger. That is true.

There is no way he is better than jihad.

I also wouldn't blow a gasket if we took Cook, but I just don't see it happening.

I don't watch much college football (more close to none instead of much), until the NCAAF Playoffs. But, when I looked into this Nkemdiche dude, while his play is eye opening, the fact that he wants to make a terrible decision like buy a panther for a pet after he is drafted, REALLY makes me question his maturity, responsibility level, and where his lies on the risk-taker meter. If he's on the negative side of two or more of those things, he'd be a waste of a 1st round pick (he's a risk). I'd rather take a chance on a top 1-2 player recovering from an injury than a top 3-10 player that fails a few of the above. But then again, it is the last pick in the 1st round and that pick is more like an early 2nd round pick than a 1st round pick. I'm torn.
