1:00 p.m. MDT: So here we are, just one hour before the start of the 2009 NFL Draft — one of the most anticipated drafts for Broncos fans in recent memory. After all, this marks the first time in franchise history that the team has two picks in the first round.
We’ll keep you updated pick-by-pick throughout the first round — feel free to comment on all the picks, whether they’re falling the way you expected or a few teams are throwing some curveballs.
The publications department and the PR staff have got a “War Room” of our own up here in a conference room — we’ve got the TV tuned in to draft coverage, computers in front of us and of course a container full of cookies — we’re settled in for a long and exciting day.
1:29 p.m. MDT: We here in the Internet “War Room” have a little chart with our own predictions for our two first-round picks. Granted, we have just as much an idea of who we will pick as you all do, but just wanted to give you some of the names that are up there.
With the 12th pick, the seven of us with predictions have names from B.J. Raji to Tyson Jackson to Brian Orakpo — there’s even a Beanie Wells up there. As far as the 18th, lots of “M” names — Maybin, Maualuga and Moreno. There’s a prediction of Brian Cushing, as well. What direction do you all see the Broncos going with these first two picks?
1:48 p.m. MDT: We just switched over for the last 17.1 seconds of the Nuggets game — pretty furious comeback for Denver to have posession down one point. Looks like they’ll politely finish off this playoff game just in time for the draft.
1:55 p.m. MDT: Pretty close last shot by Melo. Regardless, that was an exciting game that’s about to lead in to an exciting draft, just five minutes away. We just had one more member of the PR staff put some predictions up for the draft — throw Ohio State cornerback Malcom Jenkins into this War Room’s predictions.
Well…here we go. The draft is just over a minute away. See you when the Lions officially take Matthew Stafford.
2:03 p.m. MDT: With the first pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select quarterback Matthew Stafford. The first shocker of the day.
2:08 p.m. MDT: Any predictions for the Rams’ pick?
2:14 p.m. MDT: The pick is in: St. Louis selects Baylor offensive tackle Jason Smith. Kansas City is on the clock — let’s keep the guessing game going after every pick. Who are the Chiefs going to pick up?
2:24 p.m. MDT: With the third pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs select Tyson Jackson, defensive end out of LSU.
Wow, just a week ago people had him sitting at No. 12. Pretty quick riser on the boards. All right, Seattle’s on the clock. What direction do the Seahawks go?
2:31 p.m. MDT: The Seahawks go with Aaron Curry, linebacker from Wake Forest. He’ll step in and take the place of Julian Peterson, who Seattle traded to Detroit.
Cleveland’s up next. What do you all think?
2:37 p.m. MDT: Did everybody else just see that KFC commercial? The CEO of Kentucky Fried Chicken is Australian? How does that happen?
2:38 p.m. MDT: The New York Jets come in with a big trade from No. 17 all the way to No. 5 to pick up Mark Sanchez. So a trade for Sanchez did happen…the speculation can end.
Steve Young just called him “presidential.” I see.
2:45 p.m. MDT: Here are the details of the Jets trade: New York gets the Browns’ first-rounder (Mark Sanchez,) and the Browns get the Jets’ first-rounder (No. 17), a 2nd round pick, DE Kenyon Coleman, QB Brett Ratliff and DB Abram Elam.
So here’s a picture of the athletes that are in the green room on top of Radio City Music Hall yesterday. So far, just the fourth and fifth from the left have been picked up.
2:49 p.m. MDT: The Bengals’ pick is in — Andre Smith, offensive tackle from Alabama is headed to Cincinnati with the sixth overall pick.
2:52: p.m. MDT: Chris Hall is back from the Broncos’ official War Room with some footage of Head Coach Josh McDaniels, General Manager Brian Xanders and the rest of the front office.
2:55 p.m. MDT: Oakland’s pick is in — with the seventh pick, the Raiders select Darrius Heyward-Bey, wide receiver out of Maryland. There’s that pick for vertical speed, again.
And now it’s official — it took seven picks into the 2009 NFL Draft for Chris Berman to get on someone in this room’s nerves.
Mel Kiper just gave Oakland “an F grade” for the pick, by the way.
3:04 p.m. MDT: The Jaguars just selected the third offensive tackle of the draft — Eugene Monroe out of the University of Virginia.
Here’s a look at Xanders, McDaniels and President and CEO Pat Bowlen in the team’s war room.
3:07 p.m. MDT: Well, it looks like B.J. Raji is on the phone with the Green Bay Packers on the clock. We’ll see if that’s the actual pick. Raji’s fist-pump and his family’s cheering seem to indicate YES.
3:10 p.m. MDT: Alright, since we are about two picks away I am going to get ready and Kyle Sonneman will take over. I’ll be back.
3:14 p.m. MDT: Well looks like Raji was ready to be a Packer, he was already rockin’ the yellow t-shirt. San Fran has to love where they are sitting right now.
3:18 p.m. MDT: Michael Crabtree is on the phone, I am guessing Samurai Mike Singletary is on the other line.
Ding ding… that wasn’t much of a surprise. So we are one pick away from our selection. What do you all think?
3:23 p.m. MDT: ESPN is showing Aaron Maybin on the phone with the Bills on the clock. A sign of things to come? So far it has proved to be the case.
3:25 p.m. MDT: Pick is in for the Bills… Maybin it is. Broncos are on the clock.
3:30 p.m. MDT: The pick is in and the newest Bronco is RB Knowshon Moreno.
3:52 p.m. MDT: The Chargers just took Larry English from Northern Illinois and we are back up after the Browns.
3:56 p.m. MDT: A little technical error, but we are back and in business. Looks like the Browns just traded again with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
4:00 p.m. MDT: Josh Freeman is on the phone, so looks like the Bucs have a new signal caller. With that said, the Broncos are back on the clock.
4:04 p.m. MDT: ESPN’s Ed Werder is saying the pick is Robert Ayers, let’s see if he is right.
4:05 p.m. MDT: Werder is correct, Ayers is the newest Denver Bronco.
4:13 p.m. MDT: Once again the Browns have traded and the Eagles have picked up receiver Jeremy Maclin out of the University of Missouri. Now the Lions are on the clock for their second first-rounder.
4:24 p.m. MDT: After the Lions took tight end Brandon Pettigrew out of Oklahoma State with the 20th pick, Cleveland finally made a selection — center Alex Mack out of California. The Vikings are on the clock.
4:25 p.m. MDT: That didn’t take long — Minnesota picks up wide receiver Percy Harvin out of the University of Florida.
That is an explosive guy to add to a pretty explosive offense led by Adrian Peterson. Thoughts?
4:35 p.m. MDT: New England trades its pick to the Baltimore Ravens, and they come away with offensive tackle Michael Oher from Mississippi State. I know they’ve been replaying this story over and over, but I have to admit it is pretty cool the way he’s gotten all the way to the NFL.
4:42 p.m. MDT: The Falcons just picked up defensive tackle Peria Jerry out of Mississippi. Back-to-back selections out of Ole Miss, eh?
4:47 p.m. MDT: Vontae Davis, cornerback out of Illinois, is headed to Miami. And he just got water poured all over his nice suit.
5:04 p.m. MDT: As you can imagine, we’ve been pretty busy keeping the site updated with everything you need to know about the newest Denver Broncos. So here’s a quick rundown of the picks we’ve missed — USC linebacker Clay Matthews is headed to Green Bay, UCONN running back Donald Brown is an Indianapolis Colt and Louisville center Eric Wood will join the offensive line in Buffalo.
The New York Giants are on the clock.
5:07 p.m. MDT: The pick is in — with the 29th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the New York Giants select Hakeem Nicks, wide receiver out of the University of North Carolina. A very fine institution, I might add.
5:16 p.m. MDT: Here’s Tennessee’s pick at No. 30 — Kenny Britt, wide receiver from Rutgers, is the newest Titan.
5:23 p.m. MDT: Looks like Beanie Wells is headed to Arizona, and Pedro Gomez just gave a pretty funny story — Edgerrin James is currently sitting at an NBA basketball game as his team drafts another running back.
5:26 p.m. MDT: Now Chris Wells to the Cardinals is official, and we’re down to the last pick of a first round that seems to have flown by.
It seems pretty surprising that Rey Maualuga is still on the board — anyone think Pittsburgh might take a chance on him? That seems like it’d be a pretty scary addition to a scary defense. Plus, he and Troy Polamalu can have a hair grow-off.
5:30 p.m. MDT: Well, so much for that idea — Pittsburgh picks up Ziggy Hood, defensive tackle out of Missouri.
That marks the end of an exciting first round of the 2009 NFL Draft, and we’re just getting started today. The Broncos still have a pick in the second round — No. 16 in the round (No. 48 overall) — so even though this is the end of the live blog, we’ll have the pick up on the front of the site immediately after it’s made, and we’ll continue to have video and audio of the picks and Coach McDaniels all day.
Thanks for sticking with us so far — our Broncos draft coverage is only getting started.

well said broncogodd
lolololololololololol…………….
some ppl see the glass as half full and others see it as half empty. i see the team as an improvement. mac and brand X are doing what they think will help the team overall, weather it is right or wrong, i will back them until proven different.
I’m sitting up watching HBO boxing. I’m felling better now.(Probably because I sent my fiance to get me a new TV earlier) It’s gonna be a lot of changes I see that noone seen coming but the coaching staff. I just wonder what the players think? That’s what I’m waiting on. For him (Mc Daniels) to succeed he can’t lose the team. We are all fan we don’t want our team to lose! We just get angry when you get your base to believe in you and then go another way. Saying one thing then meaning another. I don’t see a reason why Tampa just moved a pick up just like that. For nothin? Don’t think so. I think they were gonna take Freeman and use that next yr 1 for Ayers . Moving back up to get him. The day is now over and I’m left with one thought. If were rebuilding just let us know. Then the anger, discuss, and confusion(whatever you wanna call it)would not come out and everyone would fell positive. That’s my take on it. Whats yours? Check everyone tomorrow goodnight.
cutler6101 nice way to man up and backup your comments. I agree McD and X man are knew at this though I think they did well. They went after players that they knew can improve the team. I think the picks say alot about what they like about our current players. No ILB or DE and DT.
I hope their reason for not grabbing maualauga, cushing, or some other playmaker on defense was because crowder, moss, thomas, powell will be playing at their potential and play like they were projected to play coming out of their drafts. It would be nice. All in all I expect great things to come out of this team and we have what i think is the most talented team in the nfl…
It’s ok Cutler6101 were all fans here. We can disagree. Nothing wrong with that. You didn’t hit me did you? lol Well I’m gonna sleep so you might have knocked me out. lmao LET MAKE IT HAPPEN BRONCOS!!!!
cutler6101 not yet but he is trying
Greatness007 I think fans want their team to win no matter what type of year it is. But in answer to your question, just think New QB, New RB, New System, New coaches, new everything that sounds like a rebuilding year to me.
broncoaussie thanks man….I love what they did today except for the trading part when it comes to what we gave up to get the guys. i am really excited about smith, moreno, ayers, mcbath…just not into the tightend they picked b/c I see someone else that would gel better per say….but I heard he blocks really good and I seen a video of him running and catching and he caught every ball and it was like 10 different ppl throwing from each side
Thought they shouldve got Rey M LB From USC! Understand the RB pick Tho! Hoping for more Defensive line but not bad, not bad at all now that i think bout it! cant wait till training camp to see how it all plays out!
K, guys lets stop for a minute and think.. some of the guys we got in the 2nd round were reachs’.. think.. giving up a first to get into this year’s second for the CB, sure he’s talented but its a 1st rounder.. THATS A REACH!.. using our 2nd round for a Safety who wasnt projected to be a 2nd or even 3rd round pick.. REACH!.. and who has heard of this tight end we traded back into the 2nd to get.. anyone.. please..
lol
i’m not saying MCD is perfect. But all rookie coaches don’t just come out and be great there is a learning curve. just like a rookie player. He going to get better as will the team all you negative fans expect results right away it take time. and it take right kind of system and it takes the right kind of talent to run the system. Mcd believe in this system and he knows what type of personal he needs to run it. so give the man a break I’m sure the first job any of you got you didnt do every thing right but you got the hang of it and it made you a better worker. So to me for MCd first time out in the draft i think he did a ok job.
very well said G funk.
Now that al this negativity is gone in here just seems we are wanting the same thing and that is for our team to kick some butt this year and make all those haters out there eat some crow.
Bronco’s Fan Till Death
I put it together we ended up trading two 3rd rounders and next years 1st rounder but in return we ended up with two extra 2nd rounders and a extra 4th rounder…so not as bad as I thought. The part that rubbed me wrong was giving up the 1st rounder for next year for a second…b/c we should have gotten another pick other than just a 2nd rounder….would have been nice to get their 2nd and one of their other rounders lets say their 3rd rounder b/c thats a deal….or a 4th rounder b/c I would probably have to pull the trigger on that one too.
Hey guys what are your predictions for tomorrow, any guys you like?
I think Sammie Lee Hill and Vaughn Martian are two really big DTs that the broncos could take in the later rounds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5Tvu9Cx9PQ you guys need to check this out on moreno! and yeah he blows right past lsu and that guy tyson jackson that kc got….ppl are going to have to account for him on the field! NICE
LOL @ Greatness007 I seen the pic on your blog, about breaking your TV. Over a draft calm down man it’s ok. So who thats still on here like what they’ve done. It was am ok Draft I think more better than publicized. We need a back-up NT for Powell or Thomas. Who ever they shall pick to play the Position. Man just think If you let Mc Daniels tell it it won’t be no defense will be not ready for. No offense we can’t stop. 1 game a 3-4. he next if we have to 4-3. Now thats versatile.
Cutler i like the vid and the music. That wasn’t Tyrus Jackson though his # is 93. I still like it though. He’s bigger than i thought. I seen thoughs arm in the Combine tape man. Getting rid all the money from Bly’s contract. To get a kid younger and hungrier good move if you think about it. I like Ayers sort of a Simon Fletcher type nice. anyone still up fell the same way??
There was a couple of stretches there. Side effect of the Cutler trade, they were drafting like we had pics to burn. I hope Moreno pans out, I have a feeling we are going to need a good running game to stay respectable. It would have been nice to have the defensive needs seen to a little more with todays picks. I hope we can get a quality guy to plug the middle before its all said and done. We’re rather sparse in the LB corps with Webster gone as well. We should have decent depth in the secondary now though. I would have thought Dline and Linebackers before a tight end when they picked him, especially if Nolan is installing a 3-4. I agree, they probably did have eyes on Freeman, be happy Tampa traded up. I think next year will be a better year to go after a QB.
I’m happy with the first 4 picks,,,just thought we couldve have gotten this TE later….I think we’re pretty set on D. we so many linebackers Ayers could switching in at 3-4 OLB and 4-3 DE with Doom..this is exciting..we pretty much addressed the DBs with depth….still could get more…we have Dawkins, Barrett, Hill, and now this kid from Texas Tech. he has good size and could eventually a good CB, like Nmamdi..he has good size.. we have Champ, Goodman, now Alphonso, eventually this kid from Texas Tech (sorry keep forgetting his name)..not to mention jack williams and josh bell…I still see us going after DBs in the draft tomorrow..
why not get Juaqin Iglesias..another big receiver for us..I’m surprised Duke Robinson and Herman are still on the board, they might be gone in the 3rd round, which unfortunately we dont have any picks there anymore. But they could be great pick ups..
we still have Powell and Thomas, we STILL could get Sammie Hill.
Jarron Gilbert could be our anchor at the 3-4 end.
I’m not that worried about Tyson Jackson..He now has to worry about getting around Clady..ahah..
note* that cornerback from Oregon is still on the boards, and big safety from Alabama,,sorry forgot the names..
There’s still hope that we could get a big man in the middle like SAMMIE LEE HILL OR VAUGHN MARTIN…. i just thought when they moved up to the 37th pick, they were going to grab RON BRACE – SMITH is not a bad pick, he will be a pro bowl cb…. but we need to plug that middle, we face to many good rb this year…
How many times did we say in the past, why the heck did Shanny pick that guy? For all we know , these guys are exactly what our team needs to be successful. Let’s see the results before we judge decisions made by the Bronco war room in the draft ! I like their thinking, let’s get as many of the guys we had high on our board as we can. Let’s get the best players that can help this team win now. Let’s get guys that will fit into our system. With Hillis and Moreno in the backfield we now have a complete offense. I trust in coach Nolan to know what we need on defense. I think he is one of the best Defensive Coordinators in the NFL and has a proven track record. These guys want to win now, that is obvious by their aggressiveness in the draft. I also think we will see some of our young defensive players that Shanny drafted will be playing much better in the new system . I never thought guys like Moss were used properly and they will excel in a different style defense. Go Broncos!
so before i was pretty pessimistic about the draft. but i actually really like what Mcdaniels has done with the team in the offseason and in the draft. and i have a few points so bare with me. First and foremost whos to say tht we still have BEARING needs at defense yes we stunk it up last year but thts because of a mediocre defensive co., alot of injuries, horrible pass rush nd worse secondary. well we brought in a boat load of secondary help for champ then we brought in andra davis who is a hella of a player. not to mention guys like woodyard, barrett nd moss are still developing nd with those kinds of veterans on the team they can only get better. so for me we only had one BIG need and tht was NT but thts bcuz we havent seen carlton powell nd what he can do yet. i think hell be fantastic. now on defense he pickd up 1 guy on the line and thts robert ayers who is a beast. im an sec guy nd i watched him destroy sec teams week in and week out so i think he was a great pick at 18. plus theyll probably be rotating guys like moss, doom, crowder, and ayers at the DE nd OLB positions nd if teams dnt know where these guys are playing one week how the gonna scheme to play them another. the knowson moreno pick i really love nd i also think it goes hand in hand with the quinn pick late in the second round. one thing tht Coach Mcdaniels continues to reiterate is that he will score/win however possible. so tht means tht although this is a pass friendly offense if we cnt score in the air theyll do it on the ground nd now the broncs have that knock out punch guy with knowson suitin up. now i know everyone misses cutler but he did score to well in the redzone he put up awesome numbers but couldnt score we were 2nd in passing 3rd in total nd i believe 24 in points scored!!! yards are great and all but there nothing with out points. nd i think tht coach drafted knowson for that franchise running bck like the lt’s nd the adrian petersons, nd matt fortes. nd i think tht richard quinn was a good pick also nd will be used a great deal in the redzone on running plays nd third down. now as far as alphonso smith nd darcel mcbath i like smith but im iffy on mcbath. to me alphonso smith was the most nfl ready cb coming. nd he has more up side than guys like vontae davis. i was actually glad we got him cuh i thought hed be gone by the time we were up. nd like mcdaniels said he would be great in the nickle formation. Mcbeth im iffy about but only because of the conference he played in. the big 12 is known for having terrible defense nd ridiculous offenses. so his numbers could be a reflection of the airing it out mentality in the big 12 but i wont knock the selection jus yet. it wouldve been worse for me if they hadve taken a linemen from the big 12 cuhz those guys cant get to the qb AT ALL!!! at first i was upset tht they didnt get maualuga wen they had multiple chances but i think its because of the fact that we have so much depth at linebacker nd tht the coaches have faith in the guys here now like my guy Wesley Woodyard who is prolly gonna be my fav bronco now tht Jay’s gone. but all in all for me the draft was a pretty good start. i do hope we get either john parker wilson or graham harrel n the 5 or 6 round. but well see
O p.s i think Jarron Gilbert is still on the board wouldnt hurt to go get him
Later dudes. Sorry it took so long
Anybody see how upset Brian Cushing was going to Houston? Haha! Good stuff
Brian Chushing is stupid if he is mad he is going to Houston he’ll be playing with Demeco Ryans, Amobi Okya, and Mario Williams.
ya…..go watch it! His body language after he gets his phone call is very negative and his interview with sanders he is not positive at all
i like what all of you are saying you all make some good points. I like the players because they sseem like they all fit in to this system. after sleeping on this I feel even better about the draft than i did yesterday. I really like knowson his speed and power is great. i just can’t wait to see these guys on the field
Well what do everyone think were gonna do today.After I sleep on it fill more better about yesterday. Just took it as we need more good character Guys that can be coached up. Instead of raw talent at other position that we have that in we can already coach instead of taking them.(thinking that sounds better than what I thought yesterday)lol Maybe Knowshawn can do to the Chargers what LT been doing to us for years now. Maybe Alphonso can bring that competitive natural out of Jack so we could have the best young corners in the game. We traded the 3rd round pick probably the guys their targeting they can get in the 4th. I though Mc Bath was a CB, I know he was when he first started playing for Texas Tech. Now I see they moved him to S. Could be a Tyron Braxton type. The hits I saw if they coach him up. He could be that hard hitting S we need for the future. As for the TE well let see. Never know D. Gram getting big money. So when Tony contract come up I hope we wanna sign him back. Maybe D. Gram wont take a pay cut. So I look at the TE as a young version of him. They know from the combine he can catch. I hope that shoulder blade he broke in 2006 is ok.
I don’t think that the reason he caught so few balls. I hope we did our homework on the next picks we have. I don’t really have to comment on the Ayers pick with what was left at OLB/DE I thought was the best. Hey UUB Can’t figure what your handle is(meaning I dont know who you are) But good shout out on my blog! Everone didn’t have to know that though lol!
I guess you can give Cushing that limited edition Porsha. He still gonna be a tough nose jerk. lol (making fun of the Path to the Draft Commercial)
Someone help me with the Ayers pick. some say hes going to be a down lineman… but hes alot like Moss & Crowder at that position. He ran a 4.9 40 so is he really fast enough to cover RBs & TEs? And did we get anyone else in FA @ ILB or MLB except A. Davis?
Naw but we still had Haggen.( if thats a comfort) Also Larsen will be in the mix. Ayers gonna be more pass rusher playing zone coverage not man to man. Remeber how Shanny use run D-line man in and out? Thats how Ayers, Doom, Crowder,Moss will be on the edges. Woodyard and Boss will be doing moerof the man to man coverage on the otherside.
I have a feeling McD’s thought on drafting Quinn is to use him as a right tackle or guad more than a tight end. Everything I’ve read/heard on him is he is an excellent blocker. Go Broncos!!!
Quinn TE was ranked aqs the 13th best Tight End in draft.
Remember in this system they have to have guys play differant position.
What a waste of picks!! We trade a #1 for a 3rd RD at best CB, when Maualuga was there along with Brace who alot of us thought we would take? We take this Mcbath from Tx Tech, when there was Smith from Utah, Ellison from USC better cover and a lot better hitter, Ellison reminds me of Dennis Smith, another USC guy. We also passed on Moala DT from USC, what the hell were they thinking, is what we needed!! Sorry, but Powell, Thomas or any of the other rejects we got in free agency this year aren’t going to cut it. I love Moreno, but he wasn’t what we needed!! I read a lot into these picks as if McDork is going to drop alot of Shanny’s guys!!! With Smith and McGrath, so long to Bell and Barrett and wasn’t he trying to get rid of Shef earlier?? And for a TE rated way below 10 others??? Come on!!! We already have a shoot load of O-lineman waiting on our practice squad who are ready to play and we take a center and guard? Erickson and Lichty will be good replacements, I think they along with the others above will be waived soon. I say so long to S Young, Torain and probably Putzier, Chad Jackson and/or Stockely. I like the QB from Fresno St, he’s strong and makes great football decisions and I think if Mc d is as good as they say or he thinks, then he should be pushing Orton/Simms out of a job.. I wish we had gotten McGee, to Dallas or Harrell, but this kid is good too. I say we did about a C- started great with the first 2, but blew it when we let Luga go to Cincy and didn’t take any DTs at all????????????????????????
i think its easy to say that we have the best fans in football. we have the most comments in the NFL.com war rooms and about 500 comments on this blog alone! im proud to be a broncos fan!!
I really wish I had not watched the draft….I really wish we had not picked anyone and let all of our turns pass us by…The pick for Moreno makes NO sesnse….does anyone remember we brought in three backs through free agency, drafted two last year and still have some sitting around….If you thought we needed a RB fine, but why sign guys in free agency that you did not want. If you want the guys you got in FA then why draft. EVERYONE knew that we needed D-Line help. The Skins couldn’t believe we let Orakpo pass us by, I couldn’t believe we drafted an offenive guy. Ayers may work, but they are looking at him to play an OLB spot, which means we will have like thirty of those. McDaniels and Xanders are running this team nto the ground slowly. Now I hear they want to trade Scheffler. Might as well get rid of Brandon Marshall too McDaniels. Who needs a guy catching a hundred balls. Or TE that can run the seam, or a Pro Bowl QB. Not Denver because we have McDaniels and Xanders. From the east coast I am worried, out west maybe it’s better.
What the heck man!!! Why didn’t we get Orakpo?!! We needed a linebacker and we come out with none sure we got Andra Davis but we lost Winborn and Webster’s game is on the decline. I thought this draft was supposed to be all about the defense. I mean we only got 1 guy in the front seven?!!! Somebody please tell me im wrong because it looks like all we did was strengthen our pass defense and not our run defense. That guy alphonso isn’t a champ bailey, he can’t cover a guy all day without a little bit of pass rush, he’s a asante samuel type guy he becomes a ball hawk when the pressure is on (by the way i didn’t think he was worth a first rounder, for some odd reason i was thinkin we were gonna use that to trade for Brady Quinn) so idk man somebody show me the bright side to this draft because all though we took care of the secondary our run defense is still looking bad
I miss Shanny and Cutler sssoooooooo bad man cuz what the hell are we doing NO DT’s NO Linebackers and we’re switching to a whole new scheme with the 3-4 and NO new linebackers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Larsen, Haggen, DJ, Webster, the whole front seven better step up now cuz we basically have no new aquistions in the front seven besides Ayers!!!!!! I’m deeply disappointed in the why we squandered the draft and basically wasted 2 first round picks in this year and next year. Moreno is a great RB but that’s not what we need. Has anyone forgot about Hillis, Young, Arrington, Jordan , the list goes on!!!. We lookin like the Buc’s ova here just collecting RB’s.
Josh Mc Daniels has shown no positive promise for us here in colorado it appears the only promissing thing he has brought here is a very negative ability to yell and scream at our players when his game plan fails,, dont give him the opportunity to learn to calm down ,,,,,, and dont give him ANOTHER opportunity to let any other team break its points record ,,, ;;;l;””;,.,/ Good god we fired wade phillips for a 48 -16 loss ,,, having not won a game yet that year ,,,, hell Joshua McDaniels has not yet won a game this year ,,, just because the broncos record has 2 wins ,,,NO I DONT BELIEVE HE EARNED ANY WIN YET ,,, ACOUPLE WINS with 1 OFF FLUKE TURNOVERS DONT COUNT,,, the consistancy i see happening (should you keep him) is he may win 2 more in the next 6 and give us a good draft ,,, DONT WASTE OUR TIME!!!
