Dareus may not be there though....I think that Denver likes him... alot!

So if that leaves the Bills Miller....thats OK as well....dude is a beast.

Interesting. What is the basis for the assumption that Dareus won't go at 2?

In the last week it seems like all the Niner reporters have come to believe there is no way Peterson makes it past Az, but that is who it seemed like was being targeted. There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gabbert - national media seem to like him mentored by Harbaugh, but discussions the local media have had with the new coach lead them the believe that Gabbert isn't really the type of QB he wants.

I would be inclined to think that if Miller is gone (almost certainly) and Peterson is gone (looking more probable) that the decision would be between Robert Quinn (who has a few questions), Prince Amukamara (who some say can be better than Peterson, but has some baggage), and trading back if they think they can get their preferred pick a bit lower.

The Niners have the most picks in the draft, but all their extra picks are in rounds 6 & 7.

It was just some guy on the Fan960 who Kerr was interviewing from the NFL Network, sorry I forget his name. He seemed to believe that the Broncos were higher on others than Dareus.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part. I would love to have my NFL team have some of the Tide guys I've been cheering on it.

On the NFL website, of the 4 NFL pundits, 2 have the Broncos taking Dareus, the other 2 have them taking Miller.

Both the ESPN gurus have the Broncos taking Miller.
Both the CNNSI gurus have the Broncos taking Dareus.

So flip a coin for the Broncos, I guess.

My best guess is the draft goes this way.

1. Newton
2. Dareus
3. Miller
4. Green
5. Peterson
6. Jones
7. Gabbert

Yes, I left the team names out on purpose becuase I'm not entirely sure those top 7 teams will be the one's making those picks.

Looks like Jones stock has risen into the top 10. Saw highlights of him, and he looks like the real deal. Hopefully the Rams get one of Green or Jones, but its wishful thinking on my part. Bradford is one real target away from taking us to the playoffs.

Donny Avery is the number one target, they will probably go Baldwin in a later round. He was projected as good as green and jones but has slipped because of attitude concerns.

Donny Avery is not a #1 receiver, and he can't stay healthy. We need a prime time target, someone like a Larry Fitzgerald a big receiver who can catch, and score.

The amount of dropped passes in the game vs the Seahawks cost us the playoffs lost year. Plus with Josh McDaniels running the offence now, will be more a of a spread formation we need targets.

Not sure why i dont like this kid, but i am happy he is in the NFC for the potential he could boom as opposed to bust.

Relieved as a Bills fan. Still curious how Newton ends up though.

So do the Titans take a QB at #8? if so do they take Dalton, Locker or Gabbert?
