Anyone on this side hearing your 10th overall for the Broncos 21st, 2nd Rounder and 3rd Rounder?

It's a rumor right now going on within the Broncos community.

I haven't heard that exact rumor but I do know that the Texans are VERY willing to move that pick if the deal is right. I'll look into it some more. Who are you guys targeting at 10 that you would be willing to give up multiple picks for?

I would be all over that! It would be good for both teams (not that I really care if it's good for the Broncos :wink: ).

At 21 we could still get Joe Staley or if he's gone, Blalock from Texas. It would be nice getting a second rounder back, not to mention another third rounder. We could look at players like Anthony Gonzales, Chris Henry or Michael Hunt in those rounds.

Patrick Willis is what I've heard. If this happens I think that it will be a draft-day deal.

Alright, draft time! I'm still praying that Levi Brown falls to #10....let's see what happens.

Do ya'll think the Raiders should take JaMarcus Russell or go with Calvin Johnson and grab Trent Edwards or Drew Stanton at #33?

Also is there a chance the Texans grab a QB in the 4th or 5th round? I wouldn't mind grabbing Kolb or Troy Smith at #107.

OK, it's getting close to #10. Brown's gone :cry: , but if Atlanta passes on him, I'd be very happy to get Okoye :pray:

What the hell? Ted Ginn? At #9? I'm beyond stumped.

Now do the Texans take Quinn in hopes of trading him? Or do they go for need and grab a defensive player?

:D Okoye is going to be great. Some say his age might hurt him, but it could also be an advantage. He's a very smart player and I'm very happy to have him in Houston.

Now, for the 3rd round options:

Daymeion Hughes, CB, California
Aundrae Allison, WR, East Carolina
Jason Hill, WR, Washington State

First .500 or better season here we come?
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Wow, finally Quinn gets taken. #22.....big fall. At least he got to go to his hometown team, if that's any consolation for dropping 19 draft slots.

He's gonna be a great QB.

I am so happy with the Texans draft pick today! Okoye is going to be a beast!

Man, that D-Line: Okoye, Mario, Anthony Weaver...I like what they're doing there.
