2011 Forum Wide Mock Draft Pick #2 - Denver Broncos

[Phicinfan]

Denver is now on the clock. New Coach, plan and Mr. Elway there to help call the shots. Who do they go for???

 

[mudloggerone]

I expect Peterson to get the call here.

 

[Phicinfan]

I am torn here. Fox has come out and said they will move to 4-3. They have Dumerville on one side, but Ayers may not make a great DE. So Bowers here really makes sense.

If they keep Champ, Peterson may be a luxury they can't afford. If the don't keep champ, then Peterson makes great sense.

However, I am a huge Von Miller Mark. He could be a system carrying type LB imo

 

[mudloggerone]

I agree that if they keep Champ they will not go Peterson.Everything I've read seems to say that Champ will not be back.

I think it's Bowers here. While I think Bowers is overrated, I think that he's a better fit for Denver than Peterson. The 4-3 scheme is a joke without front four pass rush and they need that core to build from. Also, I think Parrish Cox is their guy at CB, if he can stay out of trouble.

i'm thinking peterson too . . . champ bailey is 33 and there is talk he'd like to move to fs to prolong his career . . . i don't think he'll be back in denver anyway . . . perrish cox may be going to prison . . . as far as moving to the 4-3, ayers natural position is 4-3 de and the need for the team would be more to the dt position.

 

[Phicinfan]

Thinking it over, I too will go Peterson. I know Elway is lip syncing they want Champ, but with a cap back in place once the new CBA is signed, I don't see how they afford him. Plus Peterson direly fits a need.

 

[Fire]

I'll go with Bowers here. Switching to a 4-3 makes DE a need pick, take him since Carolina didn't.

 

[Fire]

Wondering who the "other" pick is and the reasoning behind it.

 

[Phicinfan]

still got a tie, need some votes to break the tie.

 

[Coachnorm]

I finally went with Bowers although the choices were good. I had to go along with the idea that if they don't get a pass rush out of the front four it won't matter who is back there.

 

[Phicinfan]

Bowers is the choice

 

[Beermutts]

Bowers is the choice

Good thing. Bailey just signed a 4yr deal to return...

 

[mudloggerone]

Yep I would change my Peterson pick now if I could.
