Denver Post columnist Dave Krieger reported on Monday that unless there is a rookie salary scale, the Broncos could consider trading the second overall pick.
John Elway, the team's vice president of football operations, says the second pick is expensive. Elway said he hopes the collective bargaining agreement comes together quickly so they can figure out how to slot their board.
With that basis, and the fact that Denver is fiscally conservative, Krieger says the Broncos face a roll the dice in regard to the second pick in the draft.
If they keep the pick, expect the Broncos to target defense. Elway noted that the team finished last in the league in defense, calling that side of the ball a concern.
