You think? For the 21st pick in the first round?

If you had to choose between getting one of the top guys available for the D-line, or fall all the way down to #21, lose out on those guys but pick up more picks in the second and the third, I'd just as soon stay at #6.

What if you were pick up #21, a 2nd, a 3rd, a 4th, and Bly... in exchange for #6 and Springs?

That would be good, but remember those 2nd 3rd and 4th picks are late in their respective rounds, and although Bly is a quality player, we already have cap problems, and signing him will just further those problems. And we might not even need him if Rogers and Smoot turn out to be a good duo. I'm not saying thats not a fair deal, I'm just up in the air about it and playing the devils advocate because I feel we also really need to improve our D-line this year. I would honestly perfer draft picks going into next year over getting Bly.

On the surface it sounds tempting, but as someone else pointed out, those are all late picks in each draft. Plus you have to consider our record in selecting players in the middle rounds of the draft that have amounted to anything.

If there was a shot at one of the top guys for the D-line at #21 (and by that I mean Branch, Okoye, Carriker, Jamaal Anderson or Gaines Adams), then I would take that deal and run. Problem is that none of these guys will last that long -- and we would still have big question marks with our front four.

Our ability to bolster the defensive line, even if it means doing it with just one player this year, trumps picking up additional picks in the late rounds.

I think they'd be crazy not to do that deal. I think that as another said, they have a deal pencilled in, and it's waiting so Denver can see how the first few picks shake out.


The notion that any draft pick is a sure thing is absurd. Where you pick in round one is kind of meaningless. Yay, so we stay at 6 and pick a guy Mel Kiper thinks is good. Does that make him good automatically?
Heath Shuler, Michael Westbrook, LaVar Arrington.. should teach us a lesson about the 'sure things".

Pure speculation on my part of course, but I could see a deal similar to that going down.

How odd would it be to see Champ and Springs playing together?

What if?
