First let me say I think we have a decent option to play NT in Bunkley . He is a run stuffer , he is strong but my only problem is size , I know he is not a small man but compared to some NT he is small . Yess some teams run a 3-4 with smaller NTs but I for one am a fan of having atleast one massive Nt on the roster. Witch brings me to my point , I wonder if Baltimore would trade Terrance Cody ? He is obviously massive and while he is a 2 down player would anchor the middle for us and he and Bunkley could rotate
He's the only NT I would be ok with drafting, simply because this can play anywhere on a defensive line. He's like Haloti Ngata in the making. VERY explosive player.I wish the NT from Utah would fall to us. A guy can dream can't he?
Trade for Terrance Cody probably wouldn't cost much
I'm not sure he is the NT we need. Cody is getting pushed around in the run game in BAL, why trade for him when he maybe cut?
Cody
Does everyone forget that Bunkley came from a 3-4 defense where he was so dominate he was called "the Destroyer". Hicks should be one of the ends, a 3-4 defense has 1 DE 1 DT and 1 NT. DE Cam DT Hicks NT Bunkley and draft pick for rotation.

You think this why??? Because of the greg job he did a year ago??? or at the last three stops he was at???

Thanks to a new role as a nose tackle in a 3-4 defensive front, Brodrick Bunkley has turned into an elite player in Denver. (US Presswire)

On Saturday we looked at Derek Landri, Pro Football Focus’ fourth-ranked defensive/nose tackle out of 87 NFL qualifiers at his position (see story). Landri had a plus-22.0 grade in just one-third of the Eagles’ defensive snaps. A familiar face occupied the spot ahead of Landri. Brodrick Bunkley (plus-24.1) was ranked third.
The Eagles traded Bunkley to the Cleveland Browns last July 30 several hours after signing free agent defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins. Bunkley refused to go to Cleveland, however, and the trade was rescinded two days after crossing the league’s official trading wire....
The Broncos made Bunkley their 3-4 nose tackle at the beginning of the season and he instantly thrived.
The Florida State product had three stops – plays he ended alone -- in Denver’s season-opener against the Raiders and never quit stuffing the run. Bunkley for the year had 32 stops in 485 snaps. No other defensive tackle with fewer than 500 snaps had as many as 23.
Bunkley's penchant for ending plays by himself earned him a plus-28.4 grade in the ground game and the No. 1 overall ranking among defensive tackles against the run.
Pro Football Focus called Bunkley a “player to watch for” in Sunday’s wild card playoff matchup with the Steelers, won 29-23 on an 80-yard touchdown pass from Tim Tebow to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime.
Sure enough, Bunkley made an impact for the Broncos late in the game. With Denver up 23-16 and 7:35 to play, Bunkley sacked Ben Roethlisberger on first down at the Pittsburgh 45-yard line. The Steelers would eventually score, but stopping Roethlisberger six yards behind the line of scrimmage ran off precious seconds the team wouldn’t get back in a potential game-winning drive at the end of the quarter.
A developing nose tackle who has made the most of his opportunities on the field in Denver, Bunkley appears to have found his NFL calling. It only took six years, a change of scenery and a new defensive system. Some players are simply better built for the 3-4.
