I've said all along I thought Denver would take Peterson. The only person I thought they *could* take over Peterson would have been Fairley, but obviously his stock has been dropping to the point I think the earliest he goes is to the Titans at 8. If he doesn't go at 8, he drops out of the top 10.

I think Darius is the safest pick, but PP has the best chance to become a HoF player out of the box. (I'm in no way saying he will, I'm just saying the potential is there) Top that off with Denver needing to replace Champ soon enough. Peterson SOLD to Denver at #2

I originally read this thread thinking it was about the Panters. Nevermind what I said earlier. Give me Peterson instead. DL will be there in the second round

Doubt it. If Darius doesn't go first overall and Denver takes PP, then Darius is definitely gone at #5 to Arizona. Gabbert is gone at either #3 or #4.

Cam is gone at #1 or #3. If not he could slide out of the top 10 too. (if nobody trades up)

I would be very wary of taking Dareus with a #2 pick. If you're taking a DL with the #2 pick, don't you want a little more production than 12.5 combined sacks, TFLs, and hurries? Seems rather pedestrian for a Top 3 pick. If you just want a pedestrian block absorber who's not going to make any big plays, might as well wait until the 2nd and take Phil Taylor.

It would me.

Peterson is my prize, but it would shock me to my shorts.

Everyone thinks Phil Taylor is going in the first round now. Personally, I don't want him unless I can draft him in the 4th. I would draft Kenrick Ellis before I draft Taylor. I just don't like his work ethic or mentality.

I think Ellis fits the DE need better than Taylor does.

They are both losers. One has a drug problem the other is lazy. Neither should be drafted in the first 2 rounds.

Carolina may make that choice for them.

[Bowdown27]

Truthfully Id be very surprised if they took pp. Not because of his talent but because of there rush defense. They are horrific and dareus could be the start of something good for them but I guess pp could be too

[casmith07]

I honestly think the Broncos taking Patrick Peterson helps our team more in the long run.

I kind of hope they do. Remove the temptation for us to move up.

At 346lbs that would have to be the biggest DE I've ever seen.

[UnoDallas]

I still say both will be gone by the 2 nd pick

I think Carolina takes - Dareous - why because Riveria was a D lineman and he knows the importance of a dominant D lineman - and lt me ask any one
would you want Newton as the face of your Franchise - I sure would not

pluse the can wait a year for QB

As it stands here are the top 8 prospects at QB for the 2012 draft based on a concensus of Scout.com, NFLDraftScout and Walter Football average rankings.
1. Andrew Luck, Stanford (Projected #1 overall)
2. Matt Barkley, USC (Projected top 5 pick)
3. Landry Jones, Oklahoma (Projected top 5 pick)
4. Nick Foles, Arizona (Projected late 1st/early 2nd round)
5. Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State (Projected early 2nd round)
6. Tyler Wilson, Arkansas (Projected mid 3rd round)
7. Kellen Moore, Boise State (Projected early 4th round)
8. John Brantley, Florida (Projected mid 4th round)

altho Fox likes a good D line -

so I see both of them gone by the second pick
