Broncos Send First Round Pick to Niners

[Daseal]

I wish we could have gotten a deal like that last year. Of course we were already short on picks last year, but still!

Denver said awhile ago they didn't have the money to add two first rounders.

Excellent point. In addition, I think the move was a brilliant one by the Broncos. This year's draft has a ton of depth. According to many scouts, there is a lot of talent to be had in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the draft. If I already had one pick in the 1st round, I too would trade the other pick to get two high 2nd and 3rd rounders. The Broncos should be able to come away with two high-quality players in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

as much as i like davis,the niners are crazy to take him.too many other holes to fill.should be moving down and trying to get more picks

One question here is how this makes the original trade by the skins for Campbell look. THat was our pick at #22. When the broncs made the trade with us, did they think they were getting a 2nd and 3rd rounder, or a very high first-rounder, because they thought we were gonna suck?

As for the deal, it makes sense for both teams, IMO. The niners need top-shelf help ASAP. THe broncs are good, the draft is deep, and they don't have the cash.

[Duffman003]

would that be a rip off for how deep this draft is?

[skinsfanthru&thru]

wow I guess even the 49ers can make a decent move every now and then.

its 780-780 on points, complete wash there.

I do think the 49ers take davis, cause a mismatched TE covered by LBs and safeties is a huge safety blanket for alex smith. They do have johnson, but johnson doesn't really play like a TE, he's not a jumper, he runs straight ahead.

I think pick 22 could be for manny lawson. They have an EXTREME weakness at OLB, and TJ slaughter isn't a great bandaid for one of the 2 open spots.

do you think the niners would take those 2 picks and move to the number 1 to take reggie bush? I know most likely no but it is quite intriging

[That Guy]

its possible, but RB isn't there biggest hole and they have serious serious needs at a lot of other positions (LB, secondary, OL, QB :P)

Then they'd have a Bush/Gore backfield. Wouldn't that be something? LOL

speaking of which, wouldn't it be nice to have just 1 election where you actually had a candidate on either side you wanted to win? the last three elections for me have been fairly lose-lose.

The only thing I don't like about the point-valuation chart is that it doesn't, and can't, take into account the differences in talent year to year. For example, the #1 pick this year (likely Reggie Bush) is worth the same number of the points as Alex Smith was last year.

That's why I think it was a good trade for the Broncos. In a year with a deep draft class, it's probably better to trade down to get more picks in the high-mid rounds.

i also think over reliance on a chart that hass no scientific basis is a little crazy, but i guess that's life.

[D'BOYZ]

yeah I don't get the value of the chart also it doesn't put the real value on every draft and sometimes teams got to pay 2 much to move up the draft, thsi was a real value trade.
