Broncos want #2 spot

[packrulz]

It's now confirmed.
Nicholas Cotsonika, of the Detroit Free Press, reports the Denver Broncos have made two offers to the Detroit Lions involving the the second overall pick, according to the Denver Post. The first offer included LB Al Wilson and the Broncos' first-round pick. The second offer involved the Broncos' first-, second- and third-round picks in the 2007 NFL Draft, as well as their first-round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.

The Broncos wouldn't do this unless they KNEW the Raiders aren't going to select Calvin.

Come on guys, this rumor is coming from a Detroit paper, they have an agenda to drive up the value of the Lion's pick. This happens every year, misinformation. Shanahan is pretty smart, he would never give up two 1st round picks, plus his 2nd and 3rd round picks for one guy, even if he's a stud like CJ.

The Broncos have officially released LB Wilson.

They announced they were releasing him on the 13th or something like that.

gosh, I just don't know where these "journalists" get these stories. Weekly World News?

just to add to my post, if we did trade our next 3 first round picks, its only really losing a first in the next two years seeing we would get gaining the high first this year to land CJ...

i dont know about you all but i would most definetly do this!!

I wouldn't do this for Brett Favre in his prime.

(and for you bulldog). I wouldn't do this for Tom Brady in his prime either.

Wilson is pretty darn good, if his neck heals up I hope TT checks him out.

It's a huge risk. I love Calvin Johnson, but one neck injury - one of any kind of a serious injury - and you just set your franchise back about five years.

Besides, that trade seems to not bring enough to Detroit. They get multiple picks, but the first rounder this year is pretty low, and next year's would conceivably be pretty low, too. Plus your new second and third rounders are pretty low.

Matt Millen ought to be immediately canned if CJ is sitting there at #2 and Millen doesn't grab him - unless somebody like Tampa makes a dumb offer (multiple #1 picks, plus a second and third this year and maybe a third next year.) But what will Detroit fans be saying in three years if Millen drafts another stiff (oh, maybe Gaines Adams) and Calvin Johnson is going to his second straight pro bowl?
