Update: 04.09.06 – Bill Williamson, of the Denver Post, reports on rumor making the rounds is the Denver Broncos trading WR Ashley Lelie. Two teams mentioned as potential destinations are the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers. At this point all of the talk is just that, talk. It’s unclear if there is any connection between this talk and Lelie’s decision to skip the first week of the Broncos’ offseason workout program to work out on his own in Arizona. Bill Williamson also reports another rumor making the rounds is the Denver Broncos packaging their No. 15 and No. 22 picks in the first round of the NFL Draft to move up to No. 5 (Green Bay) or No. 6 (San Francisco) to take Maryland TE Vernon Davis, whose football ability, size and speed make him an off-the-charts NFL prospect.

02.11.06 - Sacramento Bee is reporting that Niners VP of Player Personnel Scot McCloughan said there was ‘no truth’ to an Internet rumor the 49ers were considering trading a first-day draft pick to the Denver Broncos for receiver Ashley Lelie.
02.09.06 —There is a new rumor in Ninerland, this one involving Broncos wide receiver Ashley Lelie. Orangemane.com is reporting that if the Broncos land Terrell Owens, they are going to shop around Ashley Lelie. It was reported that two teams were interested, the 49ers and the Falcons. Lelie is not that interested in playing in Atlanta for ‘unspecified’ reasons, but would love to play in California to be closer to his family. This is all based upon the Broncos actually getting TO, and as of right now is a rumor.

i really hope the broncos get TO so that we can land lelie. he is such a solid player, and will really help us. also, TO then gets the chance to screw over another team!! lol

I can see your comment was in March, so you might be aware by now that T.O. is in Dallas. On the other hand, I would definitely take the trade with Denver for 2 first round picks, and if they want to give us Lelie and the 2 first round draft picks I’m for that too. But im not sure if they would put Lelie in that package though.

Yeah I’m aware that TO is in Dallas, and the rumors are old. Just added it to this to see that back in Feb/March there was talk then about Lelie. So 2 months later Lelie is still mentioned in same discussion w/49ers, so there might be more truths than we know.

I would trade Barlow and the 6th pick for Lelie and the 15th and 22nd pick. Thats just me thinking

If we could still land michael huff with the broncos 15th pick and have their other first rounder i’d say make the trade. Vernon Davis would be great but we need DB help juss as bad plus we would still have 1 more 1st round pick to help improve another area we are weak in, presumably LB, DE, or another TE like Marcedas Lewis of UCLA.

I would love to have both lelie and their 2 first rounders. Responding to Vaughn. There is no way they’d give us all 3 for a 6th roudner and Barlow. Now when u add in our first round pick in there that would be nice. Then we would have Lelie, and take Chad Greenway and Jimmy Williams if say Michael Huff isnt there which i doubt he will be. Then in the second round get a TE like Leonard Pope he can be a TE sort of like ALge Crumpler.

Shane—I don’t think he meant 6th rounder. He meant the 6th pick, first round. I think.

i dont know what to think about vernon davis i mean i think it could be possible he could be great but i dont know when i read people that write on him thety just over hype him like crazy not sayin he doesn’t deserve it but ya know sometimes he reminds me of rickey dudley not to hate on the man or nothin but you know just my opinion but yeah it would be coo as fuck if we could get leile then davis bryant, leile, davis then johnson and battle off the bench. run the 2 tes man that would be lovely.

everyone thinking about trading the 6th pick is RETARDED
seriously, we could draft the duke, who could be the next antonio gates. he will be w/ us for a long time. lelie is getting old. but i would definitely trade barlow and a few l8r picks for him cuz he is still solid
23 hours after the fact.Daryl said:
i think it would be good to get those two first round picks for the 6th cuz right now, the niners dont need a tight end, they need more talent in general, and two first round picks can get that. also, its ok if vd goes to the broncos because theyre afc and it would be great watching him tear up the raiders

shit im starting to like davis more and more, i kind of want to see how he turns out the comparison to antonio gates had me thinkin and eric johnson seems like a team player so I think havin 2 TEs would be lovely plus from what i hear VD can line up at WR too
