5 prime time Broncos games.
What offseason moves did Houston make to go from a team that just won their first franchise playoff game to suddenly an upper echelon AFC team?
5/23 - QOTSA - Wiltern > Boris - Echoplex
5/24 - Boris - Echoplex
5/30 - John Talabot - Echoplex (?)
6/02 - Bjork - Palladium
6/08 - The Field - El Rey (?)

All right, knuckleheads. Four days to the draft. We've all seen countless mock drafts and predictions. Given your team's draft order, which player (one that will conceivably be available) do you hope your team will choose with their first round pick? Saints, Falcons and Raiders fans don't get to play this game.
Seahawks at #12: Hoping for Luke Kuechly or Melvin Ingram. Quentin Coples if both of those guys are off the board at #12.
Broncos -Some DT and trade for Asante Samuel
They actually just played smart and let go of really expensive dead weight, signed Arian long term, and made no real additions. They just need to add a WR, TE, and a decent tackle in the draft and they should be good, oh and they will probably trade Ben Tate for some picks. Very smart off season.
I see Carroll throwing Norton a bone finally and getting him the best overall LB in the draft in Keuchly. The Hawks have been needing an every down LB for a long time. Melvin won't be there, even with his short ass arms.
As for who I'd like Dallas to get it's a toss up between Fletcher Cox or Mark Barron. I have this weird feeling that Philly is going to trade up to steal Cox because they are infatuated with him and could desperately use a tackle with that much technique, and I also have this eerie feeling that Bellichik finally values a premium pick for once and it's Mark Barron, and the Pats have infinite amounts of trade bait. If the Boys are fucked out of both of those scenarios I see a trade down or taking Brockers or even Upshaw a little higher than expected.
These are my thoughts exactly. It wouldn't surprise me for the Eagles to find a way to fuck us, although I really don't see Cox as being worthy of a trade up (even though I'd love to see the Cowboys pick him). Same goes for Barron too. I'd be happy with either player, only because there are no real elite athletes likely to be available at #14. Don't even start in with Poe - that guy has workout warrior written all over him. Brockers is intriguing but I think he'll need some time to develop. Even then, I get the feeling he's going to be Marcus Spears 2.0.
Fletcher Cox has been climbing up the board as of late because he is a multi-technique defense tackle that can play against the pass and against the rush. There are even rumors of him going within the top 10 to Carolina which is why there has been a lot of talk about Jacksonville and Philadelphia striking a deal which would allow Philly to nab the #7 spot and select Cox. Regardless my gut tells me Cox will be gone and Barron may have the possibility of staying put at 14, in which case we must draft him. Heres to hoping Bellichik doesn't muscle his way in to the early first to snag Barron from us, that'd be a low fucking blow.
Rieff would be a great pick but I think he comes off the board to Buffalo. At that point I think Arizona is either in play to draft Michael Floyd or trade to a team that is dying to get Floyd or Barron, which would give them extra picks and the ability to draft a somewhat comparable tackle to Rieff later in the first round.
Floyd to the Cards would be one fuck of an explosive pick and I suggest they go that route and draft o-line in the 2nd. There will be plenty of tackles in this draft and although they weren't as good as Kalil and Rieff in college they could turn out to be better pro's. Michael Floyd is a very tough player to pass up on as he would complement Fitz so well and that offense could instantly start finding some balance.
Oh fuck... Are they more in need of a tackle or a guard? David DeCastro is a monster at the position and would solidify any teams interior o-line immediately. Unless De Castro or Rieff are there I suggest they move back and pick up a second round pick. There will be a ton of teams looking to move up to fill a WR need with floyd or a S need with Barron.
how often do we need "Colts are going to take Luck" headline articles? Apparently every couple days. Enough, we know already.
San Francisco - If Decastro slips to the 20's I wouldn't mind a trade up to get him. Otherwise a bigger receiver like Hill or Randle. Mayock has Kendal Wright falling to us, which seems unlikely and he looks like another Crabtree. Zeitler at guard I guess but we might be able to trade down to the top of the 2nd to get him. Outside of that BPA. The team is pretty solid with exception to guard (and QB obviously). A DT would be nice because J. Smith is getting old. More depth in the secondary wouldn't hurt either.

I hope Devon Wylie ends up on the 49ers or a team that I don't hate.
*based upon tedious fact checking.
Way too much draft coverage this year. Flipped channels and ESPN was showing a mock war room "on the clock" scenario for the Vikings third pick. ("Miami called. They are offering their eighth and seventy-third draft choices. What do we do?"). It was ridiculous.
