Broncos | Team makes offers for second overall pick
Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:12:52 -0700
Nicholas Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports the Denver Broncos have made two offers to the Detroit Lions involving the the second overall pick, according to the Denver Post. The first offer included LB Al Wilson and the Broncos' first-round pick. The second offer involved the Broncos' first-, second- and third-round picks in the 2007 NFL Draft, as well as their first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.
That's picks 21, 56, 86,and a #1 next year (Denver owns Washington's 3rd round pick (70), but I'm assuming that they would trade their own 3rd rd pick which is 86. If I'm Detriot, I take this trade in a heartbeat. Obviously the Broncos are targeting Calvin Johnson. I'm sure that the trade would not be consumated until after the Raider's pick, but it would be a tough one to turn down. I wonder what the Broncos would do if Detroit said that the trade has to be done before the draft? That's a big gamble for Dnever either way.
If they did it, Detroit would own picks 21, 34, 56, 66, & 86 plus Denver's #1 next year (and they will be starting basically a rookie QB, in a division where they have to play San Diego twice, I'd take it!
