    Keep an eye out for these guys:

    Everette Brown DE Florida State
    Shonn Greene RB Iowa
    Maurice Evans DE Penn State
    Sean Smith DB Utah
    Aaron Maybin DE Penn State
    Sen’Derrick Marks DT Auburn

    Also who are you thinking for the first round pick. I like the USC Linebacker, Ray Maualuga. He’s ferocious!

  2. louisianabroncofan says:

    well i hate that taylor mays didnt come out but Lauranitis is the guy we should absolutely get. I think it should all be defense unless a RB like glen coffee or shonn green is still available in the third round. I like the S outta Missouri in the second round. other than that maybe a DT and DE mixed with some LB. we need alot of help and our free agent pickups will say alot about who we need to draft. i say good luck Broncos we got alotta holes to fill

  3. rev79 says:

    It also depends on if we go to a 3-4 defense – if so we need to overhaul every position except for Champ Bailey’s, and there is no guarantee he’ll be healthy enough going forward, he’s missed a lot of snaps the past 2 years…

  4. broncosfan0706 says:

    i just want some players that will stay with us and who will give it there all in Denver it would be nice to get another saftey and maybe some new D-Line.

  5. TU_HurricaneDB says:

    Me personally I dont want any underclassmen in the first 3 rounds. My choices are for Seniors all the way:

    1)Rey Maualuga, MLB/USC (Sr) 6’2″ 260lbs
    2a) Michael Johnson, DE/Georgia Tech (Sr) 6’5″ 270lbs
    2b) Kevin Ellison, S/USC (Sr) 6’3″ 230lbs
    2c) Macho Harris, CB/Virginia (Sr) Tech 5’11″ 196lbs
    3a) Michael Hamlin, S/Clemson (Sr) 6’2″ 206lbs
    3b) DeAngelo Smith, CB/Cincinnati (Sr) 5’11″ 192lbs
    3c) Ron Brace, DT/Boston College (Sr) 6’3″ 333lbs

    Dont get me wrong there a lot of talented underclassmen but most of them are skill players and Denver is ok for now at the skill position. Others do not fit in with a 3-4 which is a big possibility Denver will run. I would not boo at Greene in the 4th but with Hillis and Torain (assuming he will stay healthy for the first time in 3 years) I am not sure we would need another big back.

  6. bigvon says:

    I HEAR Everyone saying that they want defense this and defense that. I Agree the defensive should and WILL BE the primary focus of our draft. BUT
    because we are picking number 12 we have to get value for the money and the best value for the money will be MORENO. like it , Hate it or LOVE it as I do he will be the best value for the money Unless the CB Jenkins is available.

    Put your football cap on and think. We really dont have a proven every down back on our team. everyone has injury issues and noone has proven to be explosive and a game changer/ playmaker. Torain hasn’t been healthy in a while going back to college and he can still be on the team but Moreno in Coach Mac’s offense with Royal and Marshall and Shefftler that is the best offensive attack in the NFL. TWO explosive WR an Explosive TE and now finally a TRUE HIGHLIGHT FILM for a RB that a defensive coordinator has to account for in our zone blocking scheme.

    THere is no way Coach Mac can Pass that up if He is on the Table at that time unless for Jenkins maybe. Moreno is everything we need to help our offense be number one and help improve our defense. The kid is and unbelievable ball carrier and a great receiver out of the back field. He doesnt have injury problems and he has a lot of life in him and like TD he is an SEC RB and from GA. MORENO is just too good to pass up when you look at our RB roster and Coach Mac knows this and is salivating.

    If we get MOreno that KEeps the offense on the field in return that rests our Defense. If the Defense is Rested and Fresh when the take the field they will play better. IN essence A GOOD RUNNING GAME =DEFENSE BEST FRIEND – Think back to when we had TD our defense was much better cuz they weren’t on the field all game long.

    For this reason and becuz you cant pass up talent like MORENO he will be our 1st pick if available. If Not the next best value is LB Maualuga but Baji is not worth the money we will pay to a 12rounder not if Moreno is there and I personally think Maualuga is a better pick than Baji as well

    I DO Agree that past getting Moreno if Available or a SHonne Greene in the Second RD we should concentrate on Defensive.

    Last note a lot of you want the Safety from USC and he is a great talent but I think we get our safeties from Free Agency Considering there are some great prospects there.

  7. bronc fan in WA says:

    I disagree with the statement about getting Moreno. With the 12th pick we will take a premier defensive player that this team desperately needs. It would be more intruiging for us to find a RB in lets say the 2nd or 3rd round. Perhaps LeSean McCoy could drop to the 2nd round and we could take him. Look what the Bears did with Forte in the 3rd round!

  8. Atwater4HOF says:

    Im thinking Brian Orakpo in the first round if he falls to 12 if not get Maualuga
    2nd round DB DJ Moore from Vandy
    3rd round DT Ron Brace from BC
    4th round OLB Marcus Freeman from Ohio St.
    5th round DE/OLB Cody Brown from UCONN
    6th round C Antoine Caldwell from Alabama
    7th round RB Arian Foster from TENN or DT Antonio Dixon big ole plugger from Miami

    If we are gonna make the switch to a 3-4 we have to address the rushers off the edge by keeping woodyard and williams on the edge with larsen and hopefully maualuga inside and we gotta get a run stuffer inside via free agency with Haynesworth or Brace from BC with Thomas and D Rob rotating in. Doom should fit the system pretty well but I dont like Moss Crowder Ekuban or any of our options at the opposite DE slot. I do like Barrett at safety and I think we may see Jack Williams convert to safety as well. Either way our DBs are weak and that includes Champ. I love the guy but hes considerably overrated and we should get all we can for him before the rest of the league realizes he isn’t as good as he was 3 years ago

    I kno we have extra picks but I’m not sure which rounds they are but I think this is a good blueprint for the draft

  9. 66forHOF says:

    We need some help in the Secondary, we can get the DL and LB’s we need thruogh free agency. I think we should go with the Saftey from Alabama, Rashard Johnson, with the first round pick. Well, maybe we could take a LB or DL first then trade back in to the first round for Johnson. I think if Ray Maualuga is still there we should take him, he’s to good to pass up.

    GO BRONCOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. broncos14441 says:

    As far as DE’s go, I pretty much agree with you Atwater4HOF. I disagre in one thing though. I wish they would have given Crowder a chance last year. He played like 4 snaps last year and had a sack and FR for a TD. He’s a playmaker that doesn’t play, if that makes sense.
    And here our all our daft picks this year:
    1 first
    1 second
    1 third
    1 fourth
    2 fifth
    1 sixth
    2 seventh

  11. Atwater4HOF says:

    I agree the secondary needs help but not an overload. A second round DB like the boy from Vandy could replace Bly and have bly cover the slot. Safety wise we could look in free agency to get some veteran help to work with barrett. thanks for the pick breakdown broncos14441

  12. 66forHOF says:

    I like Crowder and Dumervile, but we need 2 big DE’s who can force the takles back and allow our LB’s to get penitration. I don’t think Dumervile’s the guy to do that, his size makes it easier for him to manuver around the big OT’s. I think we should pick up NO’s DE Will Smith who will become a free agent this offseason, because of NO’s poor D last season he’ll be under the radar, so we ca pick him up for less than a 2nd or 3rd round draft choice. I still like Dumervile and think we should keep him, cause he’ll help if we decide to mix in a little 4-3.

    GO BRONCOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. orangekrush31 says:

    Im from Iowa
    so…………………….
    Pick Shone Greene
    he’ll go perfect with our zone blocking scheme
    hes very familiar with it because iowa runs the same scheme
    and plus hes a monster look at his number

  14. royalbroncofan1 says:

    Rey Maualuga is a beast at 6’2″ 250 lbs. Maualuga is easily the most feared linebacker in college. He is all over the field – very similar to Ray Lewis & Brian Urlacher. Look for this guy to make his mark on the NFL in a big way. Morenos’ size reminds me of a scatback and we’ve got plenty of those in S. Young, T. Bell etc…

  15. peterg says:

    broncos14441:
    If Crowder were a play maker he would play. He doesn’t play because he can’t maintain his gap assignment and get’s bolled over. Like all the Broncos DL he can’t maintain gap because he has poor technique and poor leg strength.

    orangekrush31:
    Thanks to Patty-boy and his new two year flop experiment at Head Coach the Broncos probably will no longer run the same blocking scheme.

    Everette Brown DE Florida State is a bust in the waiting. I live in Florida and having watched him 7 times on t.v. and once live I can tell you he makes plays that seem spectacular on about 11% of his snaps but the other 89% of the time he gets plowed over or run around. He has almost no lateral ability and can’t adjust once he gets a full head of steam upfield.

    1)Rey Maualuga, MLB/USC (Sr) 6′2″ 260lbs
    2)Kevin Ellison, S/USC (Sr) 6′3″ 230lbs
    These are the two best picks. Strengthen the middle by getting Haynesworth in FA, put him next to Robertson, and put these guys behind him and Denver’s defense will improve immediately. Less talented players on the outside like Dumerville will be able to go crazy because the middle will be a wall. Defense begins and ends with the DT-MLB-DT triangle in the middle. The only reason Champ and Dre’ struggled is because the team had a deploable 23 sacks. If that isn’t the lowest team total in NFL history I would be shocked. It is unnacceptable. G-d himself couldn’t cover the high caliber recievers Denver sees every year for the pathetic 7-9 seconds that sorry DL gave them this year. Woodyard and Williams will thrive with a strong middle putting pressure up the gut and the DB’s will be back to form.

  16. jared77gregg says:

    I want Rey Maualuga, Michael Hamlin, or Shonn Greene because I think we’re good everywhere on offense besides a stable running back and Greene’s one of the best. As for DE I think we’re good we’ve used too many picks there lately anyway. I really want a linebacker though seeing the immediate impacts they’ve bade lately in the NFL and that’s what the broncos need, immediate impact.

  17. 1arabianknight says:

    Hey everybody,

    Ok…here we go, I agree AtwaterHOF, and 66forHOF, and Rev79

    personal draft selects
    *1st rnd-LB—Maualuga MLB/USC
    *2nd rd -S—-Michael Hamlin S/Clemson
    *3rd rd -CB—-Deangelo Smith CB/Cinci (Champ needs Help)
    *4-6 all Defense, LB, DT, DE
    *7 – CENTER

    The KEY lies in three moves

    1) Absolutely a must to get Maualuga, he brings that Polamolu style tackling and ‘beast presence’ like shaun williams, and ray lewis. He’s a “hard hitting fast run stopper” and that’s what we need to a ‘T’ at MikeLB.

    2) get NO DE-Will Smith, use him to trade snaps with Moss and Dumervil as RE/OLB for 4-3/3-4 disguises

    3) Move Crowder to LE

    for 3-4:

    LE- Crowder/Bailey
    DT-Thomas/Peterson
    RE-Moss/Will Smith(NO)
    result: big, fast, agile rushers at all angles

    LOLB-Woodyard/Haggan
    MLB-Maualuga/Larsen
    SLB-Larsen/Maualuga
    ROLB-D.J.Williams/Bailey

    result: fastest ‘side-line’ to ‘side-line’, interior hard hitting run-stoppers, with attitude, smarts, and aggresion a.k.a. “eye of the tiger” and a #2 rated Rush Defense!

    hence the fastest, hardest hitting, wrap-up tacklers and run-stoppers, for ultimately the best lineacker corps for 3-4 or 4-3!

    I would also persue Vilma MLB for NO, just for a schematic threat purposes and for an overall bar to set at next Camp for a “smart” MLB!!

    No more let downs…no more excuses!

    There you have it- does any one agree????

  18. 66forHOF says:

    Hey 1arabianknight I agree your the only one here making sense, but I think we should get Haynesworth. I don’t think Thomas or Peterson are big enough to be that big disruptive force in the middle, but I like the stuff about those fast sideline-sideline wrap up taklers on the outside you’re talking about. Also what’s all this talk about RB’s, why is noone willing to give Hillis another chance. Hillis had 343yds on 68car and 5TD’s, for any one that can’t do math that’s an average of 5yds a carry and a TD every 13.6 touches, any one who says they haven’t seen that explosiveness that they’d like to see in a RB in him they’re lying.

  19. 1arabianknight says:

    Oh..
    I forgot and Pertg is right, spend money and get Albert Haynesworth and give up next years 1st and this years 4th to get FA Julius Peppers!

    for a nice 4-3 with penetration in the middle, and real rushers on the edges all day long!!!

    LE-Crowder/Dumervil
    DT-Thomas/Robertson
    DT-Haynesworth FA /Peterson
    RE-Moss/J. Peppers FA /Will Smith (NO)
    result: a front 4 that will yield 15-20 more Sacks alone

    ROLB-Woodyard/Bailey
    MLB-Maualuga/Larsen
    LOLB-Williams/Haggan

    for a solid Gap-Containment speed and push needed on the D-line and Denver will see an immediate increase in TFL’s (tackles for losses)!!

  20. 1arabianknight says:

    66forHOF,

    Yea me too, Hillis is a beast and powerful downhil runner.
    I think most people are not ready for a two back or runnin back by commitee detail denver keeps using. Yea, on the one hand we want to dominate as in the days of old with a 80% load carrying power back, however, I think because of the league alot of teams have to use a two back system just to keep the ‘durability’ factor.

    Now whether we had to use a ‘runnin back-by-committee’ detail due to injuries or due versatility, Hillis certainly proved that the ‘numbers don’t lie’!

    I honestly think because of our line now, we can return to using more 2HB sets or split backs with Torain and Hillis as the 1-2 punch bruisers, meanwhile use Aldrige/Boyd and what ever “new speedy back” like Greene (Iowa) or McCoy (Pitt)we get from the draft, as 1-2 punches from the scat backs!!
    keep Pittman as short yardage expert and disguise it with Hillis in split-back set. (a short yardage tandem)

    get rid of Hall and Young, no more “read then run”! We need powerful, and fast, “run as you read” runners, while they bowl over defenders getting to them to late.

  21. broncos14441 says:

    664HOF-
    Nice Stats!

  22. 66forHOF says:

    Thanx broncos14441.

  23. swankattack86 says:

    09 mock.

    1st: ILB Rey Maualuga – USC
    2nd: NT Ron Brace – BC
    3rd: DE/LB Larry English – N. Illinois
    4th: RB James Davis – Clemson
    5th (A): CB Joe Burnett – Central Florida
    5th (B): DE Orion Martin – VT
    6th: DT/NT Sammie Lee Hill – Stillman
    7th (A): SS/FS Troy Nolan – Arizona State
    7th (B): K Swayze Waters – UAB

  24. BRONCOBAILEY99 says:

    Honestly, I think Lauranitis is better than Molaluga. He’s faster and from what I’ve read on different websites, he is a better “sure tackler” where as Molaluga often runs past them going too fast and not breaking down. I think we need a RB no earlier than in the 3rd round…. I would like us to get one somewhere in the 3rd or 4th round… Personally I like Jereimiah Johnson who will go somwhere between there.

    If we don’t get a RB, I won’t be mad. We have 1 issue on offense and about 6 or 7 on deffense… so yeah… After working up our deffense for a year (via, draft and free agency), I would love us to get that Premier back in the 2010 draft.

  25. BradJamesBroncoFan says:

    Maualuga is the man and he would be excellent for us. I also like Michael Hamlin of Clemson. Do not sleep on Sean Smith of Utah. He would be an excellent selection and as many others have said, Champ needs some help. We’ll get some nice selections and go from there. GO BRONCOS!!!

  26. broncosfanodd6 says:

    i really hope we can get a big hard hittin saftey, William Moore out of Missouri, he’s 6’3 230lbs he’s quick and hits hard puts fear into WR coming across the middle, he can make a play on the ball and help in the run game, he can tackle, he just needs help in the blitzin game, he’s had some foot problems but if everything checks out ok maybe we can get him in the 2nd round, in a 3-4 defense he pretty much plays a LB in the saftey spot, with 10 extra yards to build up speed and make a play,

  27. BRONCOBAILEY99 says:

    Don’t get me wrong… I think Molaluga would be GREAT… just think Lauranaitis would be GREATer….

    I think We should pull a Ditka and trade all our draft picks away for the 1st round and get Beanie wells…..

    By the way I’m kidding… Just thought it’d be funny to say since everyone is saying what THEY KNOW should happen… When half the the people they mention are no namers…. but yeah…

    We can’t go wrong in the 1st round… We’ll most likely have 3 good opptions to go w/… Being Lauranitis, Molaluga and Orkapo

    QUESTION:… What if we fell into a situation where we traded back a few picks (Only if a good player is involved, only) and Got Brian Cushing? He is a OLB/DE and would work great w/ a 3-4 deffense… I’m just curious to what others would think of a situation like that…

  28. bronc fan in WA says:

    Everyone keeps bringing up Maualuga and Laurinaitis blah blah blah….. But do you realize there is a good chance these guys can be taken before we get to pick? Some team is going to want them even if they arent an absolute need. And if thats the case, we need to consider another guy like DT B.J. Raji. Everyone wants Haynesworth to come to Denver, but lets face it, the guys is most likely going to end up in Tenessee again. So Raji might be our best choice because he can be a key to us stopping the run….

    And we must also consider a kicker in the late rounds to get rid of Matt Prater

  29. broncosfanodd6 says:

    brian cushing is nice hits hard covers like a saftey but can’t stay healthy he’s already had 3 surgeries, and theres red flags on him about the use of steroids,

  30. broncosfanodd6 says:

    B.J Raji is a beast, the only thing bad you can say is he’s 6’1 but he’s 330lbs and has a nice spin move and a good bull rush, he wouldn’t be a bad pick, there really isn’t a lot of DE or DT in the draft class to use a 1st round on, i myself want a saftey or MLB in the 1st round but i wouldn’t be mad if we got Raji

  31. BRONCOBAILEY99 says:

    I wouldn’t be mad either if we got Raji… but I would be concerned… I mean you look at Dorsey and Ellis from last year and how much hype they got… but they did Didly Squat…So yea…

    I think we need a voice out there on deffense… Like how a QB is to an offense… we need a LB on deffense… Perferably MLB… someone that will be a team leader…

  32. BRONCOBAILEY99 says:

    Another draft situation that I would like some oppinions on… I’m just curious on your oppinion:

    As much as I hated the idea of getting a RB in the 1st round, but if this happened, I wouldn’t mind….

    Say, We get either T.Suggs or J.Peppers through free agency. Then, I wouldn’t mind us getting a RB in the 1st Round…

    In the 2nd round, I would love us to get Clay Matthews from USC…

    Now this is just an interesting scenerio I thought of… ANY THOUGHTS???

  33. preston's finest says:

    Have we not always been a running team? After this year’s trials and tribulations with running backs should we maybe not look to the best there is in college ball right now?…… Boise State’s Ian Johnson would be a good choice!!

  34. Cutlercountry08 says:

    Almost everyone agrees wit getting ray manalaugu.. hopefully the frnt office is readin some of these blogs nd takes interest.. buh manalaugu’s gonna be gone in top 8 picks so we prolly gone have to trade up. buh i say go for it. Lets get manaluagu in this 3-4 defense. nd hey julius peppers says he aint resignin wit the panthers .. how bout we snatch him up to. he may be a lil bit old but the man is a beast!!

  35. BRONCOBAILEY99 says:

    1st off… what would we trade to get up higher in the draft????… and Why would we if we can just get Lauranaitis who is just as good, if not better??? I mean if we do trade up… Why try and get Molaluga, when you can get Aaron Curry????…

    and Peppers isn’t that old, he started in ’02… and yes that would be nice to get him… But i have my eye on T.Suggs… He was originally a DE but converted to OLB… SO he would naturally fit in a 3-4…

  36. 1golfdoc says:

    i don’t think anyone has mentioned ray lewis, isn’t he a free agent this year? i wouldn’t mind him bringing that mean streak and instilling that attitude in our defense if only for a year or two before he retires.

  37. BRONCOBAILEY99 says:

    I just don’t see him coming here… Since T.Suggs and Lewis are both free agents, I think that the Ravens will put the franchise tage on Suggs and hope that Lewis will want to go back w/ them… But since the Ravens are a SB caliber team, It’ll be a tough decision for them 2 to make… But heck yeah… Either one will make an impact…

  38. Just D says:

    Last year T. Suggs got slapped with franchise and it will happen again. As for Ray Lewis, would love to have him on the team but he is only a 1-2 year patchwork…The only free agent we should go after is J. Peppers.

    As for the draft! These should be our targets-

    LB: Rey Maualuga
    DE: Everett Brown
    DT: BJ Raji
    RB: Lesean Mccoy, Shonne Greene
    CB: Dontae Davis, Malcolm Jenkins

    What you guys think?

  39. kingarthue says:

    dwe need to draft percy harvin or shonn greene. They have a lot of talent

  40. Dr. Doom says:

    I just head that Denver will officially convert to a 3-4 defense next season.
    Also People should remember McDaniels is a Belicheck decipal. He’ll draft the best available player and make him fit in somewhere. Offense, defense, doesnt matter the best player at the 12th pick will be taken.

  41. twiztedbronco says:

    Ok so there is no point in arguing about Maualuga or Laurinitis. They are both good One has the intensity the other has freakish technique. I’d be happy with either. The one thing that I have read… or not read as the case may be, is all of the “mock” choices are lacking Saftey picks. Is it because everyone thinks that Mays not going this year its not worth it or does everyone not think there is any depth at safety in this years draft? I won’t go real deep but here are my favorites for the must have positions for us in the draft if given the opportunity:

    1. MLB – Ray Maualuga or Laurinits
    2. S – William Moore, Kevin Ellsion, Loius Delmas, Patrick Chung
    3. DT – Raji, Ron Brace
    4. ILB – Clay Matthews, Orion Martin
    5. DE – Orakpo, Maybin, Everette Brown
    6. CB – Alphonso Smith, Sean Smith, DJ Moore

    As for free agency, I don’t really like many of the options. Too many of the big names out there are too old and will be wanting to be paid way more than they are going to be worth a year from now. On a brighter note, I understand that Suggs, Bart Scott and Jim Leonhard from Baltimore are all going to be free. Pick one and commit! Leonhard gets my vote. That’s my take. I doubt that many of the names I have here will be available to us but if we can get 2 or 3 of them then we have 2 or 3 big play defensive game changers.

  42. twiztedbronco says:

    I forgot on more thing. WE DO NOT NEED A RUNNING BACK BEFORE THE 5th ROUND!!! END OF STORY!

  43. Just D says:

    SD has alot of players they need to sign but do anyone know if Shawn Merriman is a restricted/unrestricted free agent this year? Maybe he could be a good addition to the linebacking core..if he is available.

  44. broncosfanodd6 says:

    We are not gettin Ray Maualuga he’s a top 5 pick, theres no way he’s goin to the 12th spot, so i think people need to get over us gettin him, KC, Cincy, Raiders, Green Bay, and the 9er’s all are goin fot LB’s or DB’s so it’s really unlikely will get him, and im not sure i want him, he’s a hard runner, but he runs past plays, i’d rather have William Moore saftey out of Missouri he’s 6’3 230lbs, he’s a 1st rounder but it be nice if he can slip to use in the 2nd, 1st round i think we should go after Aaron Curry out of Wake Forest, altho if Curry somehow slips to 12th that’s a steal, i think he’s the best all around LB this year, he’s 6’3 247lbs runs a 4.6 he power cleans 400 routinely.

  45. broncosfanodd6 says:

    out of all the players in the draft, we will NOT get percy harvin. i hate him… probly cuz i had to play against him in high school and he killed us… but really tho when he played WR and the play wasnt for him, he would just stand there… what a prick.

    but anyway i agree with everyone saying we should get maualuga cuz samoans like us are beasts lol. if he isnt there then laurenitis is very nice too. and i agree with trying for t.suggs, but maybe not ray lewis. and isnt bart scott on FA too??

    and if we do switch to 3-4, i kinda would like to see doom play OLB, since he is kinda small to be one of the DE’s in a 3-4. but this is kinda what i want to see:
    D-line: doom, thomas or a draft pick, peppers???? please sign him???
    LBs: woodyard, maualuga, larsen, williams
    DBs: champ, mccree, barrett, and a draft pick maybe dj moore
    theres alot of things we can do, so just my thoughts….

    Moreno would be the closest thing to portis. He is more like A.P of minn…then he is to tatum bell…thats just crazy…did u watch the bowl game…there line was crap and he willed long runs by breaking tackle after tackle and getting those tough yards…he is the man…but we can get a back in the later rounds…like the dude from Iowa..or UCONN….similar to D. Williams of carolina….we need defense and more defense…asap…..i like brown from FSU…we need pass rush and more players like Pittsburg has…linebacker wise…woodly and harrison, those dudes are mean!! lets get get get it…and get to the superbowl…i think even with the team we had this year we could have done better in then the ravens in that playoff game at pitt….if we only didnt colapse at the end of the season!!! go denver!!

    SPEND THE $$$$$$$$$$ get PEPPERS AND HAYNESWORTH…that right there changes everything!!

    hillis is going to be a Fullback that can catch and make plays when he does get the ball….just like at Arkansas…..lets just go get the McFadden or JOnes to take the HB SPOT>…hillis is the man…but common we want a white running back…name the last superbowl team to win with a white running back….just for info sake im white…just saying..think about it…and dont say alstott…cuz the defense won that superbowl…and keyshawn…
