The second day of the 2012 NFL Draft is just about underway. The Broncos currently hold two picks in the second round — No. 36 and No. 57 overall — and one pick in the third — No. 87 overall.
This will be different than yesterday’s first-round live blog format, and more like our gameday live blogs.

Im glad Sanu got to be a Bengal. He was called and told that yesterday and it was a prank. Glad he got to go there.
would rather have had other players like hightower pead martin trumaine ect but not bad just not in love with any of them that is forsure
I didnt hear anyone talking about the running back we got
I understand AB, still wish he’d ended up here
Sanu and A.J. Green is a good 1/2 punch AFC North is scary lol
sanu is going to be a stud with AJ green!! nice pick up!
Is their still starting talent out their
grammer nazis in full effect!!!
So we’re pretty sure that we aren’t trading back in huh?
Why cant I post?
That i can?
I got scared for a second, ’cause I thought I saw that DEN was next but thankfully it’s just the DET
KC, san diego killed it
There’s still lots of starting talent out there Miller
Wow. I played football in high school and had dreams to be drafted. I know how upset and hurt I would be to have what happened to Sanu happen to me. Poor kid. I am ashamed that a football fan did that!
My comments are inappropriate for some reason…..
Gosh I hope so guys, I thought we would get more people, but ill trust you guys
OT Mine were to.
Love the Wolfe pick
Aparently it was one of his rutgers teammates that prank called
pead will end up bieng the bst rb in the draft mark my words but remember i dont no nothing lol
I just refresh when it says I’m inappropriate and then it f*cks off
I love the Wolfe pick. Have come to terms with Brock. LOVE the Hillman pick! Hes going to be great in Denver!
Reluctantly like the Osweiler pick.. Not an impact player now, but have to eventually get our QB.. I think it will pay off down the road
Don’t know enough about Hillman yet, but love what I hear so far. Sounds like a diamond in the rough!
Not sure why I could break it up…..
I just LOVE Derek Wolfe’s attitude … just what the Broncos need … can you imagine him and Von and Doom lining up together … we’ve waited a long time … this guy better produce … if he does, like he LOOKS like he will, it will make SUCH a difference …
Guys still out I would want Denver to get. Ryan Miller OG, Danny Coale WR, Tank Carder LB, Audie Coale LB, Ta’amu DT, Winn DE/DT, Boykin CB, Brooks CB and Iloka S/LB.
Good video of Hillman posted on the next blog.
You guys should check out the videos welcoming our players. Really kinda cool to me
Osweiler will have 3 years to get groomed by Elway and he will have 3 years to study Manning in person. I think it could pay off. And Osweiler has a big arm.
Lot of good player out there.. Wow
Billy Winn and Iloka in the next round to us would make Boise St. fans jizz in their pants lol
That is why we could afford to drop back out of the first this draft is deep
Kellen Moore might go u drafted… College stats don’t mean a lot when judging a QB
OT, no, Moore will be drafted by the Saints, he’s gotta be
*undrafted
bengals have had one heck of a draft again this year
We’ll see. But seriously I could name great college QB after great college QB who busts in the NFL. It’s fools gold
Foles…
BAD VALUE for Foles!!!
I just think that Moore could be incredible learning from Brees
Late third…
This pick makes the Value for Brock look AMAZING lol
WOW…did NOT expect Foles in the 3rd much less to the Eagles
boise st. broncos just get guys in the pros!
OT Leaf and Russel come to mind…
I think we got the 3rd best QB in draft
Wouldn’t it be funny if Moore goes right now to N.O.? (doubt it’ll happen, but it’d be funny)
The list is endless.. Danny Wuerffel lit it up Kellen Moore style
