Denver Broncos to draft 2nd in 2011 NFL Draft

Posted Sun Jan 2nd by

NFL Draft logo

2011 NFL Draft Order — The Denver Broncos will draft 2nd overall in April’s 2011 NFL Draft following their 4-12 2010 regular season record.

The Carolina Panthers will draft first. The Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills will draft third and fourth respectively.

If the Broncos don’t trade down, it’ll be the highest position the Broncos have drafted in franchise history. To say 2010 was an underwhelming season would be an understatement.

To say we would be upset if the Broncos draft anything but a defensive player with that 2nd pick would be an understatement as well.

    To all those out there who haven't noticed or are refusing to notice, we have our starting qb, Tim Tebow. Just stop with the Luck chatter, you know its not going to happen, and anyway, have none of you noticed what's happened the last three years with our defense? We have none. #1 I'll stick with Tebow, he can make things happen with his feet and has shown that he's got a better arm and accuracy then most of the critics wanted to admit to. #2 Here's the big issue with keeping the second pick, is Champ gone or is he being re-signed? If he leaves then do we draft Peterson? Who is going to fill the void at CB because Champ is STILL a pro-bowl caliber CB. Personally, I think Champ needs to retire as a Bronco. 4yr contract, with the last two a move to FS. If Champ stays and we keep the #2, gotta go defense. In fact, we gotta go defense with the first two/three picks. I say trade down but stay in the top 10 and pick up a 3rd/4th. If Champ leaves (please say no) and we trade down, we can still go with Prince Amukamara or Janoris Jenkins at CB.

    I see alot of people are saying for us to take Kyle Rudolph in the second round, sure, if he's there with our Dolphins 2nd rounder, not with our first 2nd round selection. Can anyone say LB? I mean, what the hell, can we draft a starting ILB? Its such a pressing need for us since Al Wilson left. I actually hope Rudolph is gone before we can get him so we can be forced into picking defense again. We should have and WE SHOULD ALL BE HOPING that our first three picks (at least the first two) will be defensive starters of 2011.

    Orton? He's gotta go. I get it though, I don't blame him for being bitter, but he's no longer a factor and he's proven to be worth at most a 2nd round to an early 3rd round pick. Also, I've already read enough articles on how he's snickering on the sidelines and has shutdown any dialogue with Tebow. Again, I understand, he was having a great year, but he was never the future. We don't need that shit on this team now. We gotta trade him asap in the next few months as that's another starter via the draft that we can add.

    While we're at it, Dawkins has got to go. The guy has lost his mojo. He can't cover ANYONE, and I can't even begin to count how many broken tackles he's been on the wrong end of. I made the same complaint last year, do we know how to wrap up when we tackle? Seems like only DJ and Champ know how to properly take anyone down.

    fast doesnt mean your a good corner ..dude got burned by cam newton and the rest of the sec…i think jimmy smith from colorado would be great in the third round if we could get pick there..he is more technically sound than patterson..take your super athlete he reminds me of a bigger deangelo hall…ill take the guy who has fundamentals…tim crowder jarvis moss willie middlebrooks were all great athletes coming out and that didnt work out to well

  • Jpenaflor86

    LaMichael james said he wasnt coming out

  • Jpenaflor86

    yes you can learn a quicker release.. what do you think quarterbacks coaches do scan the side line for chicks come on….you think marino and his quick release was naural no he worked at it ..just like a batter changin his speed to catch up to a fastball it can be learned just depends on how hard the player wants to work

    One addition to my comment above – Ayers has proven clueless as far as getting to the QB. This guy gets caught up in hand/arm wrestling with OL's so much its a joke. No spin moves, no bull rushes, no techniques for getting to the qb's. They should tell this guy to drop 10 lbs and move him to ILB and then draft a mirror end for Elvis.

    You don't know anything about football if you think Tebow isn't a great player. He has played better than any rookie Ive seen at QB for Denver in a long time. He deserves consideration and a fair analysis of his play, including college, to date.

    What about us trading orton for some mid draft picks?
    semms smart to me if we are going to start tebow

    Getting 2 1st round picks this year in trade for our 1st round pick is fantasy. It may add up that way on the draft chart but how many teams even have 2 1st rounders to trade? Maybe someone will wheel and deal to do it, but if so it'd be a draft day trade.

  • TheTroglodyte

    I totally agree it's fantasy but nothing anyone comes up with is going to be right so if I am going to fantasize I figure why not do it big haha.

    There is a .0001% chance Kyle Orton gets worked into a package deal somehow and we end up with 2 first rounds if McD lands the Vikings job. I've got big lungs so I'll hold my breath :D
