    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The only known draft play by the Broncos' three-headed think tank of Mike Shanahan, Ted Sundquist and Jim Goodman has been to seek receiver Calvin Johnson through the No. 2 draft pick held by the Detroit Lions. And not just once did the Broncos go after Johnson, but twice.The first time, the Broncos proposed adding middle linebacker Al Wilson and their No. 21 overall pick as an extension to finalize a deal that sent Tatum Bell and George Foster to the Lions in exchange for Dr? Bly. The second time, the Broncos offered picks in the first, second and third rounds, plus their first-round pick in 2008, for the Lions' No. 2 selection, a trade contingent on the Oakland Raiders not taking Johnson with their No. 1 choice.</div>http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_5728859

That wouldn't happen. :whistling:

    It's not near worth the Lions' pick points wise, they'd have to give even more to make it even.

    I wouldn't care about points. 4 first day picks for a 2nd overall is worth it.

    I'd rather have the 4 Day 1 picks then one #2 overall pick anyday of the week personally. Especially considering 50% of picks bust anyways, you're better off with the multiple picks.

    They're so stacked it wouldnt even be that bad for the Broncs. That would surround Cutler with Walker, Johnson, Marshall, and Scheffler. Damn.

That'd be a stacked offense for sure. Although their Front 7 on Defense would leave alot of be desired as well.

    That's where FA may come in to play. If this happens, I'd expect a few veterans to be signed for 1 year contracts. Then next year they'd be set for offense, so just draft D.
