The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
ESPN "Draft Day Predictions"
New York Jets
The Jets will draft QB Baker Mayfield at No. 3 overall
Then the team will proceed to shop Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty around the league. Finding no takers, the Jets will release both backups before training camp, including one (likely Petty) after the draft. This is a new QB era. Josh McCown/Teddy Bridgewater will be seat warmers until the rookie is ready to take over. -- Rich CiminiThis of course does not mean that Denver will draft Barkley, who will likely be gone by #5, but they should take a RB in the 2nd or 3rd round, and there are reportedly plenty of good ones available in a deep class.Denver Broncos
The Broncos will take a look at a deep class of running backs and dive in for at least one
They released C.J. Anderson, who was their leading rusher last season (1,007 yards) as well as their first 1,000-yard rusher since Knowshon Moreno in 2013. There are only two running backs on the current roster: Devontae Booker and De'Angelo Henderson. Booker was limited to 79 carries after returning from a wrist injury while Henderson had just seven carries as a rookie. President of football operations/GM John Elway likes what he sees in this running back class, having already offered "we feel good about the fact we'll be able to get a good one." -- Jeff Legwold
Meanwhile Mel Kiper is predicting that Denver will be face with a situation where their QB may not be on the board, and Chubb and Barkley too will be gone, so that they trade back with the Bills or Cardinals. This means Denver will probably take a QB at #5 of course.
We take Roquan Smith or trade back. That's my official prediction for Denver.
Well, this info was all pretty good in retrospect.New York Jets

The Jets did love Mayfield so that the Browns had to take him at #1 rather than taking Barkley.
The Broncos didn't love either Allen or Rosen and were prepared to trade back with Buffalo for Buffalo's #12 pick plus 2 second rounders, but then Chubb fell to them.
The Broncos did take a RB in the 3rd round too. My snarky post about Mel Kiper was wrong though. He did know what he was talking about.
