It is nice to see a BIG jump in draft order = It means we drafted well!!!
I love how the NFL does this – it is the only draft that makes perfect sense. GOOD JOB BRONCOS! FIND US ANOTHER STUD AT 25!!!
Thanks for the new post, Gray!
@AJ: Neat Twitpic of Tebow and his O-line. He looks a bit “smallish” next to all of them without his pads on, huh?
Last year, Orton took his O-line, and he invited Quinn, but not Tebow. I see Quinn isn’t with them this year, not that I’m trying to read anything into that. Just a bit curious whether he’s going to stay in Denver or move on. Hope he stays, but it ain’t my decision.
1st Round: DT Devon Still – Still would upgrade the center of the D-Line immediately, hopefully we can resign Bunkley too! Bunkley, Still, Warren, and Thomas rotating in and out would be solid
2nd Round: TE Coby Fleener – Fleener could be the next Gronkowski in the NFL at 6’6 hes got the size to go up and get the ball and “ball hawk” at TE would help Tebow greatly
3rd Round: CB Omar Boldin – Chris Harris is promising but i wasnt too pleased with Goodman’s production Bailey will always be a beast but his age isnt getting lower
4th Round: S Winston Guy Jr – Dawkins will probably sign a 1 year deal but he cant play all 4 downs for 60 mins Bruton Carter and Moore are decent but i think Guy offers a bit more at the safety position
Free Agents: there are 5 FA’s id really like to see Denver going after if their current teams dont resign RB Marshawn Lynch (Seattle), DE Robert Mathis (Indy), S LaRon Landry (Washington), MLB Stephen Tulloch (Detriot), and LG Carl Nicks (New Orleans)
I see the Broncos going after a DT, CB, MLB or the S Mark Barron with our #25 overall pick. in the 2nd round a DT, CB, or RB.
Once again Gray, thanks for the heads up. Now we know the full draft order top to bottom.
What grade you all giving Elway for his first year? I give him a very solid B in my opinion, some draft picks have yet to produce but hopefully they pan out. Looking forward to draft. Defense heavy draft will make me very happy!
thats a sound draft board Von.
I just saw that Moreno got a DUI.. Looks like we’ll be looking heavily into rbs.
Have to give both JE and Fox high marks for pulling this season out of the fire! We might easily have been drafting in the top 5 again if they hadn’t changed course completely in mid-stream. Takes some serious cahonies to do something like that when you know; 1. Everyone is watching and judging you ; 2. You are doing something that everyone says won’t ever work, even a little; 3. You are working with a few vets and a bunch of untested players that you just met. I have to respect their courage and hope they continue to “Lead” the Broncos and not just herd them along as has been the case many times in the past!
True…Lol at cahonies
I would give Elway a B also. This was his rookie year in a sense. He is learning as he goes and so are many of the players. Does anyone know when the players and coaches can start working on things? I know with the new CBA things are a lot different now with lots of rules.
I think it is so awesome that the lineman and the QB are going to hospitals to visit sick kids. I know many others do that too. Way to represent the team in the best way.
Oh man, just read that a 6.9 earthquake hit the phillipeans on Monday. I hope it doesn’t affect Tim’s new hospital building. So much stuff has been happening lately. Well it is 2012…….
Shaz, in the NFL in this day and age there is no off time really as far as planning from the EFX, coaches and scouts. They always have their irons in the fire in the offseason when it comes to FA and the draft. Their next move is going to the NFL Combine Feb. 22-28 in Indianapolis to gage all of the up and coming college players wanting to go into the NFL.
I`ll give John Elway a B also. We Broncos fans gotta be patient. It`s going to take a few drafts before we really make a huge splash. We got to build through the draft and it just doesn`t take one or 2 years, it`s a process. It`s gonna take a few years but we`ll get there. EFX knows what they are doing. I`m excited for our future and Tebow will lead the way.
Within 4 years the Broncos will win the SB with Tim Tebow behind the helm. Our defense is only going to get better and better each year. With an awesome defense and Tebow and company leading the way, we`ll get there. We are going to be a scary team in a few years, NFL teams are not wanting to face us , we`ll be a force to be reckoned with. I`m confident of that.
Thanks guys for the welcome back comments. Sorry I’ve been gone for a while. I have really missed the blog and have seen many things have changed. I just graduated from college in December and got my full-time job right after that and have a new girlfriend so that has kept me pretty busy. However, I will continue to be here and blog every day like I used to and look forward to all the good times and the good talks!
Bronco 4 Life
Freak buddy!
Speaking about the draft, I would absolutely love if we somehow figure out a way to get Trent Richardson. I think our offense would be unstoppable with him, Tebow and McGahee as the backup. Our receivers looked pretty good this year and they will be hot next year with a whole off season with Tebow. Also with Tebow working with JE the whole off season, I really think he is going to be insane next year!
Why are we the only team with no D lineman over 325 lbs?
Risky I think it is because the whole team works out to keep up with Tebow LOL.
Risky… Because we need to BRING IN SOME BEEF!!!!
If our current depth chart is correct Marcus Thomas is our heaviest D-lineman at a whopping 316 lbs. I had no idea. I’m now on the ‘sign or draft a mongo, hole plugging BEEFCAKE DT’ bandwagon.

And ahh yes… I know this is old news, but, another DUI for a Bronco player? Why is this turning into a trend? The cops in Denver must be as strict there in Denver as they are here in Farmington, NM!
I saw a post on another blog sight today that stated that KM tried to run afterwards but he pulled a hammie! LMAO!
Nice work Cam!!!
WHERE’S THE BEEF?!?!?!
Hey Gray… doesn’t Cleveland have 2 first rounders this year?
From New Orleans or something crazy from last year? I keep hearing they have the ‘Ammo’ to move up and get RG3?
hey Von… I don’t like Still as much as a guy like Poe, or Worthy..
Just because he is coming out of Penn State and those guys often do not translate well to NFL talent… Alot has to do with the access that scouting coaches are allowed to watch P State guys live…
I do like the Board though! Nice work
dontari poe is my pick how is that for beef!
Turtle, Cleveland does have two firsts….a 4th and a 22nd. Here’s a link I have filed:
http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/2012/nfl_draft_order_full.cfm
My bad Gray… It’s the Falcons pick that Cleveland recieved last year in the Julio Jones deal…
Cleveland picks 4th and 22nd…
hehe… Thanks Tide!!! I was just looking that up myself
New England also has (2) 1st Rounders this as well don’t they….???
draft*
New England has New Orleans First Rounder if memory is serving me correct…
Yeah, they do, but Belichick made trade one, since they don’t have but six this year.
*may trade one
Yep… double checked it… for the rights to draft Ingram, NO gave NE their 2012 first Rounder as well…
Or Both. Never know about BB.
I totally expect that Tide… I bet Beli pulls an extra 3rd this year and another first next year… that man is a Draft Day GENIUS!!!!
Or maybe, just Maybe… he packages a 1st and 2nd in 2012 and moves up for a real Shutdown guy like Kirkpatrick…
I can see that happening as well… He has to hate playing recievers in his secondary and losing…
and by playing recievers in his secondary I meant his own… he got lucky using Brown way back when, but Edelman is a real liability…
No doubt, Turtle, that Dre would be a good one for any team, but I’m partial to Bama players.
Sure would love to see him Denver, as well as any of the other 13 Bama players that will be in the draft this year.
A few have already been mentioned tonight (Trent Richardson, Mark Barren), and as I’ve said, it’s been a long time since one has been on the Broncos active roster. Although, they just signed one recently to the practice square, CB Ramzee Robinson, but he never was even a starter for the Tide. Camp legs, I suppose.
In case some of you didn’t see it before, here’s a great link for draft prospects, although some probably already have it. At any rate, it has all of the draft prospects by player, position, weight, height, rank, 40 times, school, etc.

Mark Barron…..
practice square = practice squad.
Just got notified, Tebow will be doing an exclusive interview on ESPN2 at 8:30 blog time!
Broncos Country Strong 2012!
