Highway robbery. Guy could be a franchise WR for years and years to come.Am I crazy, or would this actually raise Lelie up a few notches? You could move Lelie to the slot and by having the opponent's top CB's focused on Walker and R. Smith, this could free up Lelie for some deep bombs.

Maybe it will free up Lelie to be a kid in the pool, since that's what he's been so far.

This is true. However, with Smith and Walker, and Lelie as a proven deep threat, I wouldn't be surprised to see Shanny open it up a bit more this year. Not saying Lelie will post great numbers, but he'll be a nice threat for the deep ball from the slot and I think Denver would be wise to take advantage of that.I have to say, I couldn't be happier with how Denver's day has gone so far. First Cutler (love Plummer but Cutler has the potential to be a big time star). Now Javon. And still another pick in the first round. It's a good time to be a Denver fan.

Yeah, I don't see Lelie in a Bronco uniform this year.

He's probably packaged already. Now, only if somebody will bite.

the packers have numerous holes that need to be filled. traded down twice (once from pick #36...and then from pick #37 after acquiring it from denver in this trade). pack GM ted thompson now has the picks to fill multiple holesas a packer fan, here's what i'll tell you denver bronco fans: you just got yourself a real player in javon walker. he's a hard worker and will fit in well in denver's system. obviously his ACL injury can't be ignored, but he should be good to go from week 1. denver is a win now team and javon could really help plummer now and cutler later
walker will want a new contract and he won't come cheap...but he will produce on the field and will be a nice replacement for rod smith as WR #1 soon

This was a great trade for Packers, let take a look at it:
Packers were not going to get anything out of him
a). coming back from ACL + potential to sit out
b). favre not playing next year + potential to sit out + or cost too much
Whether he turns out a franchise WR or not, but Packers don't have as much $$$ as teams like Cowboys and Gaints can. Good move Packs.

Maybe they don't think Chad Jackson is a good football player.

Does Javon Surprass R. Smith as early as this year as the Broncos #1 WR?
Who will get more targets?
Who will have better numbers at seasons end?
Smith is no spring chicken.

Clearly, the team whose QB has never played one snap in the NFL is a much more sure thing than the team with a QB who's won 3 rings and led the league in passing yards last year. I'll take the team with the rookie RB/WR combo than the rookie QB who played for a losing college team.Thanks for playing.

Maybe the Broncos don't want to throw Cutler to the wolves like so many teams do their young QBs. Did you consider that? You know, give him a year or two or three to develop, learn the offense, and put him in there when he's ready. Denver was one game away from the Super Bowl with Plummer. I'm sure he can handle the load for as long as it takes to develop Cutler. And now, he has one of the best young WRs in football to throw to.

Hey, I like the Walker trade. But the Broncos are also facing Rod Smith's retirement soon as well. If Plummer's the guy, great. But why hamstring your cap with such a high cap number that Cutler's going to command when he won't see the field as part of that plan -- If you're already so close to the title as you say, that doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

Granted, the goal of an NFL franchise is to win now. But Pat Bowlen wants to win every year. Not just next year, but 2, 3, 5, 10 years from now. He doesn't believe in rebuilding. The Cutler pick just helps ensure that will happen. Of course he could bust--that's always a risk. But again, I don't think this move has anything to do with the Broncos being low on Plummer; rather, they're very high on Cutler.
