I don't see it, but stranger things have happened. To me, the sweet spot to move up (if we're going to) is around 15. Have to see how the board is falling by then - if QB's are going, it'll push a talented player down.

Plus if we really like Cam Robinson (hypothetically), the rumor is that the Ravens take him at 16. So that would be the time to strike. The uncertainty is what makes watching the draft so much fun, though. Just picked up some beers and my buddy is coming over tonight and watching. Good times!

Okay, who do you think we're looking for?

Plenty of teams want to move back; here's one trying to move up. Broncos exploring options of moving up in draft, per sources.

Some guy on the Orange Mane claims he has "sources" that say we want to trade up for Barnett, but if he's not there, we'll stay put and draft TJ Watt at 20. That would be awful, so I'm hoping that guy is just full of it.

Why would that be awful?

All this talk of moving up and if we had just let Oakland win that last meaningless game...we'd be picking in the 15-17 range. Thanks for the parting gift, Kubes!

Yeah, damn you Kubes for doing your job and winning an NFL game. We would have much preferred you take the NBA loser tact of falling on your face on purpose.

It was a sarcastic comment

If we're trading up, I want it to be for like Foster or McCaffrey or something. And why would we want Watt at 20? So many bigger needs.

Many teams looking to trade back. Elway may be able to have a steal move up. Come on 1st and 5th to move up.

Happy NFL Draft Day, Everyone!

Elway alalways seems to have a player in mi d who he wants but sticks to his board. He wants bolles but if a higher rated player slips he could move up for them. Or trade down for the guy he wants. I am thinking lynch ray and wolfe all had trades involved.two trades up

I have beers with a buddy for the draft every year.

Oh, well I don't think we should be drafting for need. But that's just me.

I get that concept but most teams draft BPA to fill a need. I'd have to see what the board is like at 20, but it seems unlikely that Watt would fit that criteria.

Days like this always remind me that while I consider myself a football fan, there are people that are waaay more into it than me. I don't watch College Football outside of a few games, I've played Fantasy Football once, and while the draft interests me I wouldn't even know where to start making a mock draft. Sometimes I watch the first pick but after that I just wait for the text alerts to see who we get in later rounds. I have a coworker who took today off and is having a party to watch it through the weekend. That's dedication!
