The scenarios are: The two teams exchange first-round picks, in which the Broncos would make a huge jump up the round; the teams flip-flop their first-rounders and the Broncos get a fourth-rounder in 2008; the teams flip-flop their first-rounders and the Broncos get a third- rounder next year; or the Broncos get a third-rounder in 2007 and a fourth-rounder in 2008. "The Broncos have made a recent habit of stockpiling picks in an effort to move up the first- round draft board. This trade may be their first attempt to climb in the first round in 2007. The trade is not finalized. The NFL has to approve the trade, which is complicated when it comes to Denver's and Washington's portions of the deal. Lelie and Duckett also must pass physicals. Lelie, scheduled to fly from Denver to Atlanta today, said he would not comment until the deal is official."

Shanahan and Sundquist have essentially bamboozled the Skins front office. When we're talking about this next April people will be using the term "highway robbery" when the Broncos are picking in the top half of the first round again after trading up. Can't wait to see Kenny Phillips or LaRon Landry in a Bronco uni.
