BRONCOS TARGETING WIDEOUT IN ROUND TWO
In the wake of the trade of the Broncos' second first-round pick (No. 22 overall) to the 49ers for the 37th overall and 68th overall selections, we're told that the Broncos plan to use one of the two second-rounders that they now hold on a receiver. The third-rounder could be sent to the Lions for quarterback Joey Harrington, a player in whom the Broncos are keenly interested.
But even at the bottom of round three, a day one pick seems to be a bit to pricey for Harrington, whom the Lions already have decided to cut before June 15, if he can't be traded.
The move of the 22nd overall pick out of Denver also reduces the likelihood that the Broncos will select running back LenDale White. Unless, of course, they plan to take him with the 15th overall pick.
Also, don't be surprised to see the Broncos send one of the extra second or third round selections to the Dolphins for running back Ricky Williams, if Williams ultimately prevails on the appeal of his most recent violation of the substance abuse policy.
