- They WILL take Marcell Dareus because he is the only logical option, unless someone appears in the next few days. John Fox would rather take a DE, but Da'Quan Bowers has knee problems, and presents too big of a risk. Nick Fairley would demolish the team unity that they set up through last years draft (Tim Tebow). They will eye Green, but Brandon Llyod did a great job at No. 1 receiver this year (I had him on my fantasy team) so reciever isnt a immediate need. Peterson wont be a logical option as they just signed Champ Bailey, and are paying premium money for him. They way i see things, the two biggest concerns for the Broncos are DL and S. No one is going to put Peterson at saftey, so DL will be addressed, and Dareus is the only option that works for them.

- The Broncos would be foolish to pass up on Peterson. He is the next Champ Bailey. Imagine those 2 guys on the same field

- I have Dareus going to Carolina so I have to put somebody else in for Denver. Its tough but I'll give them Peterson because he looks like the next great cornerback. Yeah the Broncos have Bailey but he's not going to last forever and who else do they have at cornerback. Bailey could be Peterson's mentor and after spending a first on a wide receiver last year I don't see them doing it again with Green.

- Marcell Dareus. A lot of people have Nick Fairley or Da’Quan Bowers here and I can understand that but I just don’t agree with it. John Fox has said that there are many parallels between his current Broncos team and the Panthers team he took to the Super Bowl. That’s true is some ways but one player that really helped them get there was Julius Peppers and Coach Fox has a history of coaching up defensive ends to be superstars. The Broncos current defensive ends are Kevin Vickerson and Justin Bannan who combined for three sacks this season. Their starting tackle was the 36 year old Jamal Williams who collected a grand total of two sacks. Yeah, the Broncos need a serious overhaul on the d-line. Dareus has seen his stock sky rocket in the past month mostly due to his great combine where he, in most people’s eyes, overtook Nick Fairley and Da’Quan Bowers for the best defensive line prospect in this year’s. The one thing about Dareus that makes him valuable and makes me such a huge fan of him is the fact that he can play both defensive tackle and defensive end at a high level. Whoever drafts him will get Albert Haynesworth (before he started acting like he was in the third grade) and Julius Peppers in one player. Dareus,, in my opinion, is a better defensive tackle than end mostly due to his size and strength but he also has decent speed that he uses with a great use of hands when playing end. This guy is John Fox’s dream and I just cannot see him falling out of the top three after a fantastic combine and pro day

The Broncos first pick is one of the most intriguing because it can completely set off the rest of the draft. The Broncos need to bolster the interior defensive line, especially when making the switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 so I believe its going to be either Fairley or Dareus here. If I was making the pick though, I would take Patrick Peterson and take my chances with one of the two 2nd round picks the Broncos have and take a DT in the 2nd round. The draft is deep with defensive lineman, and it is just too hard to pass up on an elite corner like Peterson.

ReplyDeleteI would take A.J. Green. With Damaryius Thomas hurt, they havent found a legitimate replacement for Brandon Marshall. Green is the guy
ReplyDeleteMarcell Dareus just makes the most sense for them. They haven't been able to stop the run in years. They need a dominant force in the middle

ReplyDeleteThe Broncos actually have Elvis Dumervil and Robert Ayers (their #1 pick two yrs ago) to play DE...I agree though that they have to go Dline

ReplyDeleteMarcell Dareus because he can move between DE and DT. That is the kind of versitility John Fox is looking for
