Broncos looking to trade no. 2 pick?

John Elway is now an executive with the Denver Broncos and he made some telling remarks to Dave Krieger of the Denver Post. Elway implied that without a new collective bargaining agreement that includes a rookie wage scale, the Broncos would likely be looking to deal the No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft. Right now the No. 2 pick would cost a serious amount of cash. Last year the Detroit Lions gave No. 2 pick Ndamukong Suh a five-year, $68 million contract with $40 million in guaranteed money. So whoever gets picked at that spot in 2011 would expect at least that much and probably more. After finishing 4-12 the Broncos have too many holes to be giving that much cash to one player, especially an unproven rookie. That said, if they stay in their current spot, the Broncos will likely have to go with a defensive presence. Denver was last in the NFL in total defense (390.8 yards per game), 25th in pass defense (236.3 ypg) and 31st in rushing defense (154.6 ypg).
