Day Two a Wrap

April 26th, 2009 - 8:05am by Gray Caldwell

The 2009 NFL Draft will finish up today, with rounds 3-7 starting at 8 a.m. MDT.

As it stands, the Broncos don’t have a pick until the 14th pick of the fourth round, No. 114 overall. We will update this blog every time the Broncos select a player in the draft, so continue to check back throughout the day.

10:15 a.m. MDT: So here we are — the fourth round has rolled around. Just about a dozen more picks until the Broncos are on the clock. We’ll have the pick as soon as it’s made.

10:26 a.m. MDT: I’ve been informed that first-round selections Knowshon Moreno and Robert Ayers are at the facility, getting their first look at a building they will grow very familiar with. We’ll have pictures of their arrival and video of their press conference later in the day.

Right now it’s pick No. 105 — Denver will make its selection at No. 114. We’re getting close.

10:55 a.m. MDT: The Chargers have made their selection at No. 113 and the Broncos are officially on the clock.

10:59 a.m. MDT: Looks like the pick is in…and it’s safety David Bruton out of Notre Dame. Back with more on him in a minute.

Bruton showed his potential to be a playmaker at the next level in his first season as a starter in 2007. He finished with 85 tackles, three interceptions and 4.5 tackles for loss. As a senior last season, his statistics improved — he amassed 91 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles.

A team captain for the Fighting Irish, Bruton is a leader, and his speed and athleticism could make him a solid starter and a great special teams player in the NFL.

It was his showing at the Combine that was truly impressive and showed the potential Bruton has to be a big-time player.

Among safeties at the Combine, he finished second in the 40-yard dash, seventh in bench press repetitions, tied for first in vertical jump, first in broad jump, tied for second in the three-cone drill and first in the 60-yard shuttle.

More on the team’s first selection in the fourth round to come.

11:42 a.m. MDT: The Broncos are once again on the clock, as the Arizona Cardinals have made their selection.

11:46 a.m. MDT: The pick is in. With the 132nd selection of the 2009 NFL Draft, the Broncos take guard Seth Olsen from Iowa. More on the pick in a minute.

Olsen, at 6-foot-5 and 306-pounds, seems to enjoy the physical hand-to-hand combat inside the trenches. He leaves Iowa as a first-team All-Big Ten selection. He played primarily at right guard in 2008 after earning honorable mention All-Big Ten honors at right tackle as a junior.

Olsen has spent much of his time on the right side of the line, starting the past two seasons, but he has also seen some time at left tackle.

He certainly has versatility with his ability to switch positions on the offensive line, and he showed some of his agility by placing in the top 10 among offensive linemen at the Combine in the three-cone drill.

More on the team’s second pick in the fourth round later.

The team’s next selection is the 13th of the fifth round — No. 149 overall.

12:11 p.m. MDT: The Broncos just traded back into the fifth round, pick No. 141. Stay tuned.

12:14 p.m. MDT: And the pick is in…With the 141st overall selection in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Broncos pick up Kenny McKinley, wide receiver out of South Carolina. He’s the all-time leading receiver in South Carolina history. More on the pick to come.

McKinley left South Carolina as the school record-holder for receptions and receiving yards, also finishing second on the school’s all-time touchdown catches list.

His 207 career receptions are third in SEC history — he became just the fifth player ever in the conference to haul in more than 200 catches. He also became just the 12th player in the prestigious conference’s history to record more than 2,700 receiving yards.

South Carolina Head Coach Steve Spurrier called McKinley the best receiver he has ever coached.

McKinley began his career as a Gamecock as a true freshman, when he started six games and ranked third on the team with 25 catches for 291 yards and a touchdown. He also returned 18 punts for a 4.6-yard average.

As a sophomore, he started all 13 games to kick off a streak of 33 consecutive starts. He caught 51 passes for 880 yards and five touchdowns, in addition to averaging 8.9 yards on 17 punt returns. He even threw a 22-yard touchdown pass.

He played with turf toe for most of his junior season — he ended up undergoing surgery after the season — he still made second-team All-SEC with a conference-leading 77 catches for 968 yards and nine touchdowns.

Potentially part of the reason the highly-productive receiver slipped to the fifth round was because of injuries. He entered the 2008 season as a preseason All-American, but missed three games and most of a fourth due to a right hamstring strain. He still managed to earn All-SEC honorable mention honors, however, with 54 receptions for 642 yards and four touchdowns. He was invited to the Senior Bowl, but re-injured his hamstring after impressing scouts early in practices.

More to come on the team’s fifth-round pick to come.

1:52 p.m. MDT: After trading to the first pick in the sixth round, the Broncos select quarterback Tom Brandstater from Fresno State. More on the selection in a minute.

At 6-foot-5, Brandstater is one of the tallest quarterback prospects in this year’s draft. A three-year starter at Fresno State, he has the range and arm strength that NFL teams are looking for in a quarterback.

Brandstater closed out his career ranking fifth in the school record books in pass completions and fourth in pass attempts, while ranking sixth all-time with 6,857 yards passing and 7,006 yards in total offense. His 47 touchdown passes placed him seventh in Bulldogs history.

He was the unquestioned leader of his team, and set an example both on the field and in the classroom — Brandstater graduated before his junior season and is finishing up work on his Master’s degree. That intelligence is evident on the field, as he didn’t make many mistakes as a collegian.

As a sophomore, the quarterback earned the first of three Academic All-WAC honors, starting 10 of 11 games and completing 54.5 percent of his passes for 1,490 yards and 13 touchdowns.

As a junior who had already earned his degree, Brandstater began garnering national recognition. He finished 23rd in the NCAA with a 140.49 passing efficiency rating, averaging 213 yards per game. He closed out the season with 2,654 yards and 15 touchdowns to only five interceptions, completing almost 63 percent of his passes.

As a senior, he improved his numbers further, throwing for 2,664 yards and 18 touchdowns.

He is also surprisingly mobile for his size — he finished third among quarterbacks at the Comnbine in the three-cone drill and fifth in the 20-yard shuttle.

More on the team’s sixth-round pick to come.

4:10 p.m. MDT: The Broncos are on the clock with — barring a trade — their final pick of the 2009 NFL Draft. It’s been a big crop so far, let’s see who tops it off.

4:13 p.m. MDT: And the pick is in. It’s Blake Schlueter, a center out of Texas Christian University. More on the pick in a minute.

Schlueter was named second-team All-Mountain West Conference as a junior and a senior, the same two seasons he was named a team captain at TCU. He made the watch list for the Rimington Trophy, awarded to the nation’s top center, as a junior, and placed second for the Horned Frogs in knockdown blogs and overall blocking grades that season. He started all 12 games in which he played as a junior.

As a sophomore, he was named honorable mention All-MWC in his first season as a starter — he started all 13 games and topped the Frogs with 63 knockdown blocks, only allowing one sack on the year.

He saw action in all 12 games as a redshirt freshman, as well.

More on the team’s seventh-round selection to come.

4:34 p.m. MDT: Head Coach Josh McDaniels will step to the podium momentarily to discuss the team’s 2009 draft, seemingly signifying that no trades are forthcoming, and the Broncos’ draft has officially come to a close. You can watch the press conference streaming live on the main DenverBroncos.com site.

The 2009 Broncos’ draft class consists of 10 players — six on offense and four on defense. We will have a wrap-up of the second day of the Broncos’ draft later this evening, and another look back at the draft tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with our coverage all weekend.

  7. jsmith337 says:

    I hope one of them is Rob Bruggeman, the center from Iowa, that guy is a bulldozer.

  8. MauiDon says:

    Fresno QB is just what McD wants

  9. myleshigh says:

    I like everything, I’m thnking in their mini camp prior to the draft they saw some things from some players they must of liked. Also the rule is you take the best player on the draft board and they did that after the two players they were wishing for were gone. you dont reach for someone you HOPE will fill the holes. Also I like Mike Mayock on NFL Net, I think he has the most common sense out of all the gurus, when he says that Ayers could be the best D player when looking back at this draft, I’m not doubting him one bit. He makes way more sense then Kiper, McShay isn’t too bad. It’s all a crap shoot from all angles anyway, anybody got a crystal ball that works….NOPE!!! It’s all a guessing game. One more thing, I know I said that already but, you have to like the fact they didn’t want to pay Sanchez and get all crazy by going after him.. I like what I see boys and girls

  10. cutler6101 says:

    did you guys hear the story about michael oher…..man that is lame…..so your mom was on drugs and you had it tough…you got adopted by some rich white ppl because you didn’t like your family and then went to a really good school…saying all the white kids was looking at him like what are you doing here….I know there are some racist ppl out there but ppl was not coming at him like that and the majority of ppl in college have a good head on their shoulders and have better things to do than wonder why a black man has came to their school when first thing he wasn’t the only black guy or girl there and it is diverse so I do not believe he had it tough at college…playing ppl like you had it tough and now they are making a movie after him b/c of what he went through….boy if only he could have lived in my shoes back in the day…..he got everything handed to him. i will not even go into what I went through and I really dont even like bringing it up but it pisses me off that this guy is acting that way…there will always be someone that had it worse and this guy is living a dream and it didn’t even start when he knew he would be drafted…and know he is getting a movie made after his life….I believe he is set already and don’t need anything else given to him….boy oh boy…lucky dude…..did you see his pretend sister? hottie! he couldn’t even touch what I had to go through….look like a dream compared to mine if you asked me he took the easy way and threw his family to the curb to live great…that is disrespectful to his family…real family! he came over to their house a lot and the mother was like do you want us to adopt you so you can have it better and he said yes…all because he would rather be living large then toughing out the hard times with his family…..family is everything and I really hope this comes back to bite him and I hope he is a bust in the nfl…………….

  11. cutler6101 says:

    sorry guys I know that didn’t have anything to do with our team but that is wrong to do your family like that…just to have it better…..he isn’t anything close to being a man

  12. SBXXXII..Iwzthr! says:

    Well, just finished up reading about all our players and listening to Coach McD’s press conference and I’m speechless! I’m LOVIN’ every single person we got in this draft. Especially when Mayock says that most of these players were his “favorite” in the draft, I think that’s great!! Ayers, Moreno, Smith, geez, all of them, I just can’t wait for them to get in there and see how they’re going to help the team win.
    I feel very confident for this next season. Let’s get it started already! I want to go to another Super Bowl!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Go Broncos!

  13. broncos20 says:

    I’m very impressed with all the picks,,but still skeptical about our new TE. Who knows he could be a new D-Graham. But still couldve gotten a D-Lineman

    But I see our future Qb in Tom Bradmester (spelling)?…Good physical numbers, McDaniels very own Tom Brady..aha..hopefully he becomes great..now we know we wont worry much about a QB next year if this kid develops under his tutelage.

    as for all the DB picks, I see our future core of DB set in these guys including Barrett,Williams, and Bell once Champ and Dawkins are ready hang their cleets. They’ll pick of as much as they can from Dawkins, Champ, Hill, and Goodman.Hopefully my prophecy comes true..lol..
    I would like to see Smith and Mcbath at CB and the speedy duo of Barrett and Bruton at Safety. Or atleast hold up until the next gem comes out..

    whats even better, is that we’re still expecting a group of undraftees.

  14. broncos20 says:

    oops my bad..Branstater..

    we’re finally off,,its exciting..

  15. peterg says:

    So now we’re a miniature western version of the Patriots with half the talent and everyone thinks this team is play-off material. Half the guys on this team can’t spell play-off. After this weekends draft I’ll bet Champ wishes he was back in Washington.

  16. McDanielsDomain09 says:

    so once again very happy to see all the positive feedback. i think that with Mcdaniels drafting basically 50/50 in the draft nd not going with all defense jus means he is not shaken by the media nd that he has faith in his guys already on the team. but i enjoy all the guys including Branstater, he fits Mcdaniels mold perfectly. the only thing is his last name lol dnt think ill be buying a branstater jersey anytime soon. plus the fact that Mcdaniels is a system coach like belichec nd not jus a coach makes every pick tht more valuable. Very excited to see what moreno can do in the offense. he has great hands. nd for anyone one whos wondering mcdaniels has already said quinn will be used for goaline posessions nd blocking schemes nd jumbo TE sets. he already has 2 great catchers with graham nd scheiffler so it wasnt his main focus. he said tht graham has great hands nd can be used in the middle nd that scheiffler is quick enough to be on the outside or even play slot in the spread formation. Im very excited tho !!

  17. bntbroncos says:

    I’m very excited to see how this season will turn out. I’m looking forward to a new scheme on both sides of the ball. The additions in this draft and the CFA are capable of playing special teams and improving us there as well as pushing the vets at their respected positions on their side of the ball. I also think we could bring Burton into the box as an OLB in any situation. Our nickle D will be vastly improved this season, as well as time of possession offensively. The lack of a NT being addressed doesn’t bother me that much, there is still trading to be done…Before the cut off and Shawn Rogers is still an option. If not there’s always development and next years draft.

  18. xxgracegunnerxx says:

    culter what are you even talking about??? judgemental?? jealous?? hmmmmm…..

    so i was super irritated at first with our picks..but now im stoked…really amped on moreno and smith…funny that alot of people dont consider that alot of our defensive issues last year had alot to do with the scheme of our old DC’s…on top of NO consistancy with coaches through the years..OR that shanny was the END ALL to all the personel decisions…now we got a BA DC and some sweet additions so the year is already looking WAAY better…yeeeeessssssssss

  19. Broncs55 says:

    I like McD’s approach to this draft. He is building for a long term very successful team. Just like his former head coach. Bellichick didn’t have success from the get go, he can to create his dynasty. I see the coach doing the same here in Dove Valley. Very wise moves.

    We all wanted to see him draft players for the front seven that would make an immediate impact – we needed a couple DE’s and a nose to begin with, maybe a linebacker or two. I was surprised to see McD grab the HB for his first pick, thats for sure. Especially with Okapo (spelling?) still up there. Again surprised when he took a CB over Lauranitis.

    I started thinking about why he would do that – and realized exactly what his plan entailed. He is building our dynasty – I can see it!

  20. xxgracegunnerxx says:

    any word on rookie FAs?? seems like this site is always playing catchup…oh well…

  21. lynch4prez says:

    Was the Texas Tech QB drafted? Graham Harell i think his name is? anyone know

  22. xxgracegunnerxx says:

    he was undrafted…and im hoping we get him…i think hes got HUGE potential…was hoping we’d get him this weekend…now who knows…

  23. lynch4prez says:

    Im surprised he wasnt, it would be a good idea to bring him in to training camp and see what he can do

  24. Lancing_2009 says:

    I love the fact that we got knowshon, just not where we got him. He was gonna be there at 18, just like i said on another thread, and if you paid any attention, you woulda known that the only team that woulda picked him before that was SD. Donald Brown went at 27 and Beanie wells went at 31. Are you kidding me? seriously, we coulda picked orakpo. it took all of ten seconds for washington to take him after we passed him up.

    Ayers was a great pick at 18. Lovin it hard core.

    Now when we traded up to 37, i was like “yes, were gonna get Maualuga in the second round! wat a steal!” then we passed and picked Alphonso smith, which shocked me cuz he’s from my favorite college (besides UWYO) and hes a stellar player. It also shocked me cuz we passed on arguably the second best linebacker in the draft.

    Then we draft Darcel Mcbath. Outstanding pick. hes a flyer ballhawk player that will make an instant impact on the field, if he can get there. Then we pick a TE? this is where i got seriously pissed off. We don’t need a TE at all. Scheffler and Graham, no matter the system, are the best tandem in the league. hands down bar none. Then, another safety. ok decent pick, but no. we just got one and we already have two pretty good ones on the roster.

    This is when i quit watching. first off cuz i was getting more and more angry at MCD for his draft “tactics”, and cuz i had some stuff to do. After i saw who we had drafted overall, i was actually excited to see them in action. Great picks for the spots we drafted them, no reaches and some great players in the long run.

  25. chemaster says:

    After this draft, I have hope but lack confidence. I will not comment on my expectations on the individual players relative to the position they were drafted at. Talent assessment is the ultimate job of scouts and coaches. However, I am confused about the strategy of this draft:
    - A 3rd rounder was used to trade up to get a TE. Pick 79 could have been used to trade up from 12 to 8 and get Raji. In my opinion, that would have been a better use for this pick (not knowing, whether the Jags had accepted).
    - Trading to 37 was too expensive. We should have received at least an additional 3rd rounder. I was hoping for Maualuga, Brace or Everette Brown with this pick. Smith might have lasted to 48.
    - I strongly believe, Quinn would have been available in the 3rd round. Jarron Gilbert and Michael Johnson were still on the board at 64.
    - Even in the 4th round, 2 promising DT’s were still on the board – Hill (from Stillman) and Taylor (UM).
    Don’t get me wrong – I do not want to pin a “overpaid-label” on any of our new players. I just believe, we gave up to much in some trades.
    To our new Broncos: I wish all of you a successful career for our team, good health and the neverending desire to compete for wins.
    Go Broncos!

  26. mrbroncofan says:

    Lancing_2009: I understand what you sayin about the TE. I have heard though that Sheffler is on the tradin block and he does not want to return at the end of his contract. That makes me wonder if it was a replacement pick whether he replaces Tony this year or at the end of his contract. If Tony is not going to be there for us than we do have a need at TE. I just would prefer us to keep Tony and maybe drafted another D like that guy that can jump out of the pool. Jaron G?????? Can’t remember his name.

  27. xxgracegunnerxx says:

    moreno prolly would have been taken be SD and i think we needed to get him before they did…would have sucked to get terrorised by 3 SD backs instead of just 2..ha

  28. USC_#1Broncofan says:

    Personally, I can’t stand Barrett at safety. I hope he is one of the first people to get cut off the team. He missed SOO many tackles last year that turned into HUGE plays for the other teams. He isnt that impressive in coverage either. Hope is GONE! But I love the people we drafted this year. Hope it all pans out. GO Broncos!!!

  29. broncoryan says:

    I would like to thank the “moderators” for letting us speak our minds. Makes the fan feel really appreciated

  30. broncoryan says:

    Is anyone else getting “waiting for moderation”? McDaniels does not wanna look bad I take it, probably nobody will see this anyways

  31. hrdnokd says:

    I don’t care how many times I say it, we didn’t draft a single DT.

  32. Greatness007 says:

    I had to go on THE HERD this morning and get my thoughts on the draft of my mind. Even STINK(Mark Slereth) think were gonna be terrible. The rebuilding has begun.

  33. Jack_Fan says:

    Dre Bly update…

    THERE IS NONE!!!

    All you ladies out there who got all hurt because I praised this staff for canning his butt should take notice that not 1 team has tried to sign him.

    He is washed up! He’ll be lucky to make a roster next year.

    I’d love to hear any of you say that you wish you had Bly over Alphonso Smith and the guy they picked up in free agency.

    Thank you!

  34. rev79 says:

    Do we have room to sign any undrafted Free Agents? Has anyone picked up the Kicker from Utah?

  35. Deify_you says:

    rev79 I believe the Chiefs signed him this morning or something like that, he was named Mr. Irrelvant.

  36. cutler6101 says:

    no I was not jealous…in the end all you have is family and you aren’t supposed to give up your family to have it better with ppl that aren’t your blood. I am very family oriented and believe in my values…..im a retired infantry guy and I have certain values about me you probably wouldn’t understand GRACEGUNNER. he wsn’t drafted by us and it’s just that a lot of kids go through a lot more than that…way more…try going to other countries where a lot of kids and ppl don’t have any clothes but they have family… His story isn’t a movie I would want to watch. But no i have no need to be jealous I have what I want out of life already…..been to over 13 different countries and a son that looks just like me…..he is almost 5 years old and he is about 3′ 6”…..he is tall probably the tallest kid his age in the united states…..he is a future bronco…..my dad is 7’4″

  37. xxgracegunnerxx says:

    dont gotta call me out like a punk…im not the one all butthurt some dude is getting more attention than me…we’ve all gone through stuff in our lives…theres prolly more to the story than anyone knows…at any rate i guess youre saying they should make a movie out of YOUR life…sounds like jealousy to me..o well…lets talk about something interesting…

  38. cutler6101 says:

    we picked up Alcorn State linebacker Lee Robinson today…..and they said they plan on adding around 10 more undrafted free agents within the next couple of days. I also heard tony sheffler is not on the trading block and that mcd likes tony a lot and thinks he will do well in the spread formation…

  39. Greatness007 says:

    Dre got touched in almost every game he played in. Whats his big highlight oh yeah. He talked a 3rd string QB on the 1 when he made contact on the 5. WOW no brainer

  40. Greatness007 says:

    My bad tackled.

  41. cutler6101 says:

    I do know that Kenny Mckinley was probably the biggest steal at WR after maclin, heyward, crabtree, and the first round. i seen him play in person…but it would have been nice to draft a defensive player at that spot. the other teams are crazy for looking over that guy…..you guys will see him play…hes got it…..plays like rod smith

  42. oldsouthstander says:

    For all you Orakpo lovers consider the following:
    Sporting News Draft ’09 Orakpo: “isn’t the consistantly prodictive player he needs to be”
    Lindy’s Pro Football Draft Orakpo: “Flashes explosiveness as a hitter, but isn’t consistant in this area. Lacks explosive burst off the snap and isn’t a consistantly big hitter capable of forcing fumbles on a regul;ar basis.”
    NFL Network bio: Plays only 80% of the time. The NFL Network comentators commented at length about how he takes plays off. Several picks afterr Orakpo was picked an Offensive lineman was picked, part of the highllights showing the O lineman’s abilities were several plays of him treating Orakpo like a 98 lb JVer.
    Imagine that there’s only time for one more play and the other team is on the Broncos 1 yard line and needs a TD to win. Would you want a player with Orakpo’s talent and hope, Gee, I sure don’t want him to take this play off, or a less talented D lineman whio always gives 110%? A real no brainer.

  43. Greatness007 says:

    Im in DC. Orakpo said he was glad to go to the Skins.(Maybe cuz they picked him) He said he doesn’t like the 3-4 and glad he’s with a 4-3 team.

  44. Jack_Fan says:

    I know we didn’t get 8 new D-linemen like we though we would BUT…

    Let’s look at the team as a whole after that draft:
    (how would you grade them?)

    Passing offense: A-
    -Added threat with Moreno (who excels at blocking too).
    -Strong receiving core with added depth with addition of McKinley
    -Good blocking help from Quinn… But isn’t Graham already our guy?
    -O-line depth added with rookie G and C
    -New QB to develope (ie Cassel)
    -Can Orton play handle all these weapons, I say yes!

    Rushing offense: B
    -Great o-line makes a huge difference here. No more PASS ONLY!
    -MORENO and HILLIS should be two names we hear early and often next year. Arrington will still be a useful 3rd down or situational back. Jordan will be a goal-line back. Bye bye buckhalter and torrain (no room).

    Passing defense: B
    -Dumervil and Ayers should help pass rush some.
    -Alphonso Smith should compete for the #2 CB spot or play as the nickel.
    -McBath and Bruton will help add depth to a talented DB group.

    Rushing defense:C-
    -I think they will struggle to stop the run without a dominating NT!
    -Ayers is a talented DE/OLB. Has no competition for a starting spot.
    -I guess McD is OK with who they have on the D-line…
    -Linebacking core should be decent with Williams, Woodyard, Davis and Dumervil/Ayers.

    Special teams: B-
    -Throughout free agency and the draft, this has been a priority. THAT IS GREAT! Shanahan never spent much effort on special teams and it cost him big.
    -Look to see special teams make some big plays and help win games they wouldn’t normally win.

    All in all:
    I see our biggest weakness as the rush defense. Maybe someone like Marcus Thomas or whoever can step up and surprise us.

    The biggest question is: can Orton handle the QB job?
    -The addition of Moreno will greatly impact Orton’s success.
    -I believe Orton has a career year with the toys he has in Denver.

    Prediction:
    -2009 record: 9-7 (good)
    -They’ll beat who they’re supposed to.
    -Tough schedule gives them 7 losses.
    -Moreno runs for 1,300 and 9 TD’s
    -Orton passes for 3,000 w/ 17 TD’s and 5 INT’s.
    -Defense and special teams increase steadily over the year.
    -Maybe a wild-card spot.

  45. Greatness007 says:

    Daniel Graham is Shanny’s guy! Remember they didn’t want to sign him back in New England. Who was the O Asst. there?? You guessed it!

  46. xxgracegunnerxx says:

    whats funny is that media/fans have been arguing over who was gonna take who for months now…and of course no one was even close (minus stafford #1)…

    ..its also funny that alot of people are already checking this year off as a “rebuilding” year…prolly better for us since its obviously NOT…we got weapons..and new schemes…we’ll be fine…

    ..lastly..its funny how since now there arent lame bogus mock drafts to pick apart and bicker about…some peeps gotta resort to stuff that has nothing to do with football…things dont have to be more dramatic than they already are….just shows how boring the offseason really is…

    I just hope Knowshawn can learn the O and help. He he doesn’t start it won’t be good. that’s why the Jets got rid of Mangini. If you pick someone high forget just making your team. HE NEEDS TO START. QB’s they give reasons not to start them and let them sit. Troy is in the Hall so it can be ok to start them. I was just thinkin all that money they spent on bringing backs in. we could have Peppers from the Panthers or The guy from Seattle. Yeah youcan cut a guy but its still a cap hit.

    Good thoughts on the draft i agree with most things except,

    we need to be better than 9-7, getting over than hump was the whole reason Shanny was fired.
    Orton better throw more than 17 TD’s with the weapons we have, and 5 INT is pretty stingy, i think it will be double that.

    And i just gotta settle one thing for everyone, Matt Cassel is not this great QB most people think he is, he was sacked 2nd most in the league next to Big Ben (slow ability to progress through routes), he took an Offense that broke almost every record the season before and cut that in half or less with the same weapons as the year before.. all-in-all he was average… AVERAGE.. not great, not elite, average and i really wish people would stop asking McD about him and referring to moves to make the next Cassel, we dont want the next Matt Cassel
