**OTHER BRONCOS DRAFT NEEDS**

IM DOING A GM DRAFT FOR THE DENVER BRONCOS (as well as the packers)
BUT I WAS WONDERING:

MOST EVERYONE SAYS THAT THIER MAIN NEEDS ARE SAFETY, D TACKLE, O-LINE, AND WIDE RECIVER

BUT I WAS WONDERING IF YOU THOUGHT TIGHT END OR CORNERBACK (on the other side of champ) ARE ALSO NEEDS THAT COULD BE ADDRESSED EARLY IN THE DRAFT SUCH AS 2ND OR 3RD ROUND.

IM THINKING SANTONIO WITH THE 22ND PICK AND THEN KO SIMPSON WITH THE 31ST IF HE IS STILL THERE

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AS I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE BRONCOS AND GOOD LUCK IN THE PLAYOFFS---KICK SOME PATRIOT [inappropriate/removed]![/u]

safety, d-line (not just DT), o-line and receiver are our primary needs. absolutely no corners! we drafted 3 last year and i think lightning struck because it looks like all 3 might work out. especially darrent williams and dom foxworth. they are our 2nd and 3rd corners for the next few years. santonio holmes and ko simpson would be a very good first round, but i think i would look for a great value at OT or DL with the first pick and maybe hank baskett in the second.

I think that the Broncos have a few needs (not necessarily right now, but certainly in the near future).

- a center to replace Nalen
- a safety to replace Lynch
- a kicker to replace Elam
- a punter to replace Sauerbrun

They should replace these guys in the next couple seasons, since they're all in their mid to late 30's. If they don't like anybody in the draft at these positions, then they should trade some picks to get replacements for these guys, although I think that they should wait and replace Elam with Colorado's Mason Crosby when he enters the draft. Other than that, they should trade a pick or two to get an established veteran WR to replace Rod Smith, 'cause he's also gettin' old.

On another note, I looked at the Broncos roster (http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.php?id=396) and was surprised to see how few guys are in their 30's (only 14 out of 70 - including practice squad, injured, etc.).

BTW, onemoreyearfor4, thanks for the good luck wishes. I personally can't wait to see the Broncos kick some Patriot @$$!!!

These guys have nailed the needs pretty well. In my personal opinion, I think that safety and defensive line are our biggest needs. However, the guys down in Dove Valley (Broncos Headquarters) seem to think wide receiver is. It's being speculated that the Broncos are looking to upgrade at WR, OL and DL on the first day of the draft. So perhaps you can model your draft after that.

I did a mock draft in our forum and perhaps you can look at that for an idea of what to do! Smile
