I thought it would be a good idea to discuss the Broncos and what they should look for in the draft.

OL - C and G both need significant upgrades. Someone who could play G and RT would be quite useful to cover off for Ryan Harris if injuries continue to be a problem.
Defense - We've got lots of decent players, but few impact guys. I could definitely see us taking a "BPA - defense" approach with our first round pick.
P - Berger is awful. Take a flyer on a young guy in the late rounds.
QB - Orton is holding the fort, but he's not the future. McD likes QB's who are smart, accurate and make good decisions. I suspect after seeing Orton's lead feet, the coach would also like someone who can actually move around in the pocket.
Receiver - could be an area of need depending on how things play out with Marshall, Stokely and McKinley.

Thoughts?
As for fitting our system, he's definitely from the mould that McD's teams have drafted - tall, solid mechanics, decent arm, accurate, makes good reads... yeah, I think he could fit in with us.

Originally posted by zachsaints52 View PostI could see Haden to you guys. Would be a nice addition.
How much of the offensive playbook did you take from the Pats? I didn't watch much Broncos game but what I saw was shotgun pretty much it.
And I also wondered why Hillis never ran it.

I'd like to see us draft Taylor Mays if he's there, and if we do I promise not to hold it against Xanders if he busts. Anyway, I think him working with Dawkins would be very good for him, and after Dawkins is done I don't wanna watch a team with ****** safeties again. If he's gone, I wouldn't mind seeing Haden, I don't realistically think a guy like McClain will be there, unless he bombs the combine. After that though, interior OL is the way to go. We need depth on the DL as well, but we want to be at the stage where we need depth for the OL. We don't even have a surface on the interior.
Orton can hold down QB for at least another season or two. If only we had a dynamic young QB of the future...

I am sick of seeing Bryant to the Broncos. The pick itself is fine, just getting really old.
My dream draft would be (assuming we trade Marshall) :
1 - LB Rolando McClain, Alabama
1 - OG/OT Mike Iupati, Idaho
2 - DT Terrence Cody, Alabama
3 - WR Danario Alexander, Missouri
4 - CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, Indiana (PA)
6 - DE/DT DeMarcus Granger, Oklahoma
7 - P Zoltan Mesko, Michigan

I also dont think McDaniels will take Cody. He doesnt seem to have the personal characteristics that McD appears to look for.

Any draft that has us picking up a bunch of perimeter/skill guys is a missing the mark - we need core strength on both sides of the ball: NT-DE-ILB on defense, C-OG-QB on offense.
Personally, I want 3 interior OL (including one who has the potential to play RT) in the draft unless we score a starter in FA. Our tackles are young, so it's the right time to put together a unit that will last. Consistency on the OL is underrated - keep the players and system together and success will come.

Originally posted by njx9as far as qb, anyone have any thoughts? i don't really like either of them as prospects personally, but pike and bradford seem to "fit the bill" as far as what i imagine mcdaniels wants.

The fact that none of us want Dez Bryant tells me one thing: We are going to draft Dez Bryant.
I've learned that over the past few years. Think of the person you didn't want us to draft each of the last 5 years. We probably drafted him.
