If Murray goes #1 - then Bosa is almost sure to go #2 to SF. But if Bosa goes #1, then I think SF might be more willing to trade the pick - and at that point I could see Denver moving up to take whichever QB they value more highly.

Are any of DT worth the number 10 pick but not only that but of them seem to be a good fit for NT in our defense? Peko isn't last that much longer and don't know of anyone on the team right now that could step in anchor the middle. That said, I know we could use a top flight tight end so I wouldn't complain if got one like Hockenson.

I never get so wrapped in any particular draft pick that if Denver doesn't draft him I'm going to be over critical.

When I think of the anchor is a traditional 3-4 or even an interior guy in a Fangio version, I don't know if "that guy" is worthy of a top 10 pick any time. Now a guy like Oliver or Williams would certainly be a welcome addition as a 3-tech or an interior guy in other packages, but I highly doubt Williams will be there and Oliver excites me and scares me at the same time. Just seems like a guy that has to be in the perfect situation to utilize his talents and I really don't know if Denver is the perfect situation for him.

But I agree. While Hock would be my first choice, there are others I would be happy with.

I just don't see the cost being worth ANY of the QB's in this draft...and a QB is the only position you give up that much draft capital for.

Most recent reports, if true...

Haskins at 3 to Redskins
Jones at 6 to Giants

Defenders may be dropping. We may also be able to demand a kings random if someone wants Lock.

Poor Haskins.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I'm honestly hoping we manage to get Lock without trading up for him. I totally get the need to get players that can help us win now, but I need some goddamn QB excitement, man. You guys remember how exciting young Cutler was in the WCO? I seriously need that in my life again, I think.

No, seriously...poor Haskins.

While we haven't had a true stud ILBer since Al Wilson, we also haven't had an all around stud TE since Shannon Sharpe. Hockenson would be well worth the 10th pick as well. He would help improve both the run and passing game, stay on the field for 4 downs, and more than likely be featured in the new offense. Plus, we know that Flacco has no issues looking for the TE in the passing game.

I think both Bush and White have the potential to be great players. The thing that scares me is, odds are, one will be great and one won’t. He real question is, which one. It’s like Hockenson vs Fant. One is likely to be a pro bowl player, the other won’t.

It just seems like that’s how it goes these days. I just hope if we go that way we make the right choice. I still think we need to take one of the top QBs if we can. It’s much easier to be competitive long term with a wood QB than holding together a superstar loaded defense as we’ve all seen.

I'm pretty convinced we go qb next year.

I'm still thinking hoch and Bush w a trade back.

I predict the draft starts tonight!

I could go for that. I wonder if anything that Denver would get would be aimed toward's next year's draft?

Note to self. The draft isn’t like a game. It’s really ******* boring.
