Updating previous reports, Jeff Legwold, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports the Denver Broncos could receive two first-day draft picks from the Washington Redskins in the three-team trade involving former Broncos WR Ashley Lelie. If the Redskins finish with a worse record than the Broncos in 2006, Denver would receive the Redskins' first- and third-round picks. If the Redskins finish with a better record than the Broncos, Denver would receive the Redskins' third- and fourth-round picks.

this is retarded...even if we finish with a better record than them...and it makes no sense

THis is from the rocky mountain news

Based on the two teams' finish in the upcoming season the Broncos, at best, could end up with the Redskins' first- and third-round picks in the 2007 draft if the Redskins finish with a worse record than the Broncos.

In that scenario the Broncos and Redskins would flip-flop first-round picks with Denver moving up and the Redskins moving down. The Broncos would then get the Redskins third-round pick as well.

If the Redskins finish with a better record than the Broncos, Denver gets the Redskins' third- and fourth-round picks next April.
Looks like that top one is from kffl.com. It looks like they just skimmed the article from the rocky mountain. They swap firsts. This means if we suck ass next year and end up with a top 10 pick we will probably be picking in the 20s(i have the broncos going to the super bowl right now)

We won't finish with a worse record than the Broncos, but this clause is still rediculous. And who gives a 3rd and 4th for Duckett, much less a first and third.

How does denver do this...got a first rounder in the champ - portis trade and now could get 2 of our picks for this trade...give me a break. should be 1 for 1 for 1 point blank period.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

i'm seriously going to kill somebody if we have to give up a 1st and 3rd pick

we could get almost any player in the league for a 1st and 3rd pick

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

the espn.com article says there is a complicated formula for what draft picks they get, but at worst the would get our 3rd and 4th rounders...and i guess the 4th rounder is for the 2008 draft because we dont have one for '07

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

There is no way we would send a 1st and a 3rd to Denver even if Denver runs the table. If that is in the cards, The Danny is officially crazy. Yeah, the RB situation is a little shaky, but it was not THAT much of a need.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

Why is everyone so high on betts? What has he ever done other than a few good runs here and there. He gets injured yearly, and coaches praise him so much it reminds me of a certain reciever... 4 years in and hasn't broken 400 yds in a season. Same draft, Duck by the numbers seems better to me...and lord knows when it comes to playing style I'd rather have a battering ram, that duckett is faster in the open field seals the deal for me.

***EDIT***
Tried to post their stats down here but it was all screwy looking.
Numbers: Duckett has been in 7 more games, has 231 more carries, 904 more yards, .1 less yards a carry 3.9/4.0, 26 more TDs 31/5.

Basically, i disagree with folks that are saying duckett isn't good, that he hasn't done anything, and that he will be our 3rd string back.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

I really like this move... a 3rd is semi-high, but Duckett's still kind of young... we need to keep Portis fresh and Betts hasn't proven to be all world healthy. This helps us now- ain't that what we're playing for this season?

What I really dont like about this deal is that if we finish with a worse record than Denver, we dont pick on the first day. It's tough to improve your team like that.

I like our chances to finish better than Denver, but even if we do, it's still a 3 and 4 which is a great deal for Denver.

If we are gonna gamble, why not offer a 5th that would become a first and third if they have a better record than us. This is a win-win for Denver the way it is right now.

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

holy crap. not sure what to think about this. 2 draft picks?

this only makes sense if we trade away Betts right now. lets get a corner or lineman for him before the season starts. I was never personally attached to Betts - how you gonna be slower and bigger than Portis, but LESS tough??

would be funny if we traded Betts now, he's the Redskin Wallpaper player in Madden 07...don't ask me why

Re: We traded for T.J. Duckett?

The only thing im worried about is that this was a desperation move because Portis is more hurt then they are tellin us.

i'm actually hoping they just realized they want Portis around here a long time and need a tough guy 2nd runner to spread the work around. Betts was talented, but tough he was not.
