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.

And how many QBs didnt do good in college yet lit the NFL up?
Give me Boykin a Receiver in round 4 an OL in round 5 and a LB or another DT in round 6
Just sayin’ that the only person that’s on my watch list that got drafted so far is Sanu, we’re going to get GREAT value at both of our 4th rounders
*and a receiver
I like Brock the more and more I think about it. He put up good numbers without anything around him where Others had a lot.Didnt have much to work with… 4 year under Manning and he actually has talent unlike Sorgi and Painter
That would be funny if the Saints took Moore right now… Lol
I know this will sound ignorant, but where in the University of Regina?
NE right here takes Moore
Good point Lax. Can we name anyone on Osweiler’s team, other than Burfict?
*where is the
Grammar nazi myself lol
Hey let’s trade with Oakland and snag someone haha
I actually heard this whole college production vs NFL success theory the other day on a radio show.. Makes sense to me
VDB Canada. SW Raider have a compensatory selection and they cant be traded.
*when judging QB’s
The WR I want is stil Danny Coale. He reminds me to much of Welker and Stokley….
Was just thinking of a Davis-esque move haha
I like Juron Criner or Tommy Streeter to still
Coales is supposed to go in the 6th isn’t he?
Raiders are going to take a K
Same guy said Moore would go undrafted, so we’ll see
Danny Coale 6 ft 200 I also like Devon Wylie who is 5-9 187. Both remind me of Welker and Stokley we need a guy like that for the future.
With the way teams are taking WRs if i was taking one of them id do it in the 4th and hope the other becomes a UDFA and snatch him up QUICK!
I want Marvin McNutt in the 4th round. GET HIM!
We should get Lavasier Tuinei in UFA. Haha, I know you guys probably don’t know him, but I really liked him at Oregon
Chris Givens has fallen. Hes 6-0 200. He could be a future slot star.
Few new blogs too fyi
