What are the Broncos thinking?

I can see the Broncos stockpiling picks with the idea of being able to trade up to one if possible. I do think they are looking seriously at acquiring Luck. From what little I have read he is apparently phenomenal and about as close to a franchise quarterback as you can get. So, the Broncos loose now and by taking away the best receivers, Tebow is almost destined to fail by design. Still you let him play, hope he does very well and then seek a trade. I think that Orton, Quin and Tebow will all be gone next year. I can already see the draft picks begining to pile up, but they still need to get more than a 6th rounder. That is like selling a BMW for the same price as a VW, both in excellent condition.

It does matter, since a 6th round pick doesn't carry the same trade value as a third round pick even a 5th round pick.

Doesn't make sense to me unless you have already thrown away the season.

There is some speculation that Bowlen no longer has the extra cash to support the Broncos so they couldn't afford to sign Royal and Lloyd.

But I think it would have been better to keep them this year and have them audition for other teams by playing well for the Broncos.

Will Royal get us a 7th round pick?

3 Pro Bowl Broncos traded in three years, Cutler, Marshall, & Lloyd.
Death spiral?

Oh the excuses are starting already...Why don't you wait until he sucks before you start making them Viqeen?

LLoyd wanted out. Probably because he did not have a good contract.

no..he wanted out because his contract is up and he and Royal did'nt want to negotiate next year having 10 catches in the last 10 games of this season. They left because of Tebow- Like I said before, they get paid by their stats and they weren't gonna get any here..

lol -Winners and leaders with the "it factor" don't make excuses. Some leader, the rats are all jumping ship, but what do they know? They've just been on the same team and watching him practice since early August. I sure wish Loyd woulda talked to you first RockDoc..You coulda told him about the "it factor"

I actually like the Broncos this week in Miami. You figure Miami wants to lose too so they can draft Luck.

I think the Broncos will do OK this week. We will get to see the IT factor not to mention the Tebow crowd support. This game will tell us something about the season ahead.

Miami is competing against the Colts.

Does anybody think the Broncos wanted to get rid of a pro bowler for a 6th round pick? Loyd told them he wouldn't play here, period. Same with Royal..Tebow has already ruined the team

Bowlen is outta $$$ still trying to buy Shanny's house... LOL
