Open Thread: 2011 Denver Broncos Pre-Draft Press Conference

PrintJohn Elway and Brian Xanders are set to take the podium live at noon MST (2 pm EST) for the team's annual pre-draft press conference. A day after the schedule was released, we can likely expect them to talk about a few of the matchups that the Broncos will face during the 2011 NFL season.
The meat and potatoes of this press conference, however, will be the plans for the upcoming draft. We're not expecting any major announcements such as who exactly will be selected with the second overall pick. With a little over a week before the NFL Draft, the Broncos will likely be smokescreening as much as they are telling the truth. Nevertheless, we'll be listening
Pat Bowlen is on hand for the 4th day of NFL's forced mediation in Minneapolis today, so he will not be on hand for the press conference.
Feel free to use this open thread to discuss the NFL Draft possibilities as they're being discussed by John Elway and Brian Xanders... and, as always, Go Broncos!
The press conference has ended, but as soon as the recording is available, we'll provide the link.

Yup. No player trades, though. So that will make things interesting.

"The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning." -Charlie Sheen
Get 4 really good players in the draft
But that goes against Broncos philosophy over the past 10 years… and I kinda like it lol
And now for something completely different
Are other teams doing this sort of press conference?
I’m wondering if this isn’t a final push for the QB smokescreen….
I’m hoping it is….

I think the Browns have one going on right now, too. Other teams may do it in a few days, but it is normal for a team to do a pre-draft presser.

yeah we had one last year too
however, McD did it, which should tell us how the hierarchy in the FO has changed
Check out my blog about undergraduate science research
by black_knight101 on Apr 20, 2011 12:18 PM MDT up reply actions
Shanny used to do them just a few days before the draft.
McD did one six days before last year’s draft and Elway/Xanders are doing one now with 9 days left.

Was McD sitting atop a throne or something when he did it?
It seems like he would be into that sort of thing.

Did you see the chairs that Elway and Xanders have? Those things look super comfortable.

"The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning." -Charlie Sheen
It’s highly highly unlikely, but there have been talks that there won’t be a draft…
Wow.
The ignorant redneck formerly known as kentuckybronco.
The first sentence was something Elway said, btw.

my bet is we trade out..

"The only thing I’m addicted to right now is winning." -Charlie Sheen
Agreed. Elway said "8 picks" just now. So...

All that talk sounds just so top secret confidential
“Technically this draft pick doesn’t exist”
And now for something completely different

I think if we can’t trade out of 2, we may just have Patrick Peterson.
The ignorant redneck formerly known as kentuckybronco.
that would be great.

Your comment makes me sick.
Verbose in style, dispersion of thought, procrastination in life.
The artist formerly known as ZAPPA
do you really want our organization...
….to be the first ever to draft a CB at number 2? I don’t think people here understand positional value.
So who would you want?
A great all around DT who can play everywhere with Dareus or a pure pass rushing 3-tech in Fairley.
And now for something completely different
uhhh tebow?!?!

When you have the 2nd overall pick, it's like you're a kid in a candy store and your mommy gave you a dollar.
The possibilities are endless.
