Congratulations on Brian Xander being promoted, he is a very intelligent GM. Thank you to the Goodmans for all their years of service. In his first move, I hope Xander trades the unhappy and unheralded Marshall. I think Tampa Bay would be interested and the Broncos could get Stovall (who is on the rise) and Ernest Grahmn (who is stuck behind Cadillac and Ward) because as we all know you can never have too many good backs. Stovall has excellent hands, and huge and has some speed. Grahmn is a one cut back that is bruising. Go Broncos

I like the watching the late round underdog picks develop into great players. Several were mentioned here. One more famous late round pick that wasn’t mentioned. Lyle Alzdado (77) was picked in the 4th round by the Denver Broncos in 1971 out of Yankton College South Dakota (my home state!). He took the starting job as a rookie and never gave it up! He was traded by the Broncos in 1979 but is still one of my all-time favorite Bronco players.

Three years? What are you talking about. Easily making the play-offs this year and I believe they could win! The strongest TEAM always win, and this year they’re looking like a team to be reckoned with indeed.
Go Broncos!

I thought Rodrick “Rod” Smith was a 7th round pick but after looking it up I found, After the 1994 draft, Smith wasn’t drafted.
First the New England Patriots signed him but then was released.
But soon after his release the Denver Broncos signed him.
In twelve seasons as an NFL player, Smith has had eight seasons of at least 1,000 receiving yards. He’s had two seasons of at least 100 receptions (2000: 100; 2001: 113). His reception total in 2001 led the league. He was a starting wide receiver of the Broncos’ back-to-back Super Bowl championships in 1997 and 1998. In the Broncos’ 34-19 win in Super Bowl XXXIII, Smith had 5 receptions for 152 yards (the fourth highest total in Super Bowl history), including an 80-yard touchdown reception. He was a finalist for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2004.

Smith is the only undrafted free agent to have ever surpassed the 10,000-receiving-yard plateau. He is ranked 15th in NFL history in career receptions and 16th all time in receiving yards.

Has the most catches (849), receiving yards (11,389) and touchdown receptions (68) of any undrafted wide receiver in NFL history.

Rod had it all and was undrafted.

TIME OF POSSESSION ! ! !

GO BRONCOS ! ! !

I really like the direction we are heading towards. Sure it has been a bumpy ride so far this off-season, but nevertheless, I think McD is doing as good of a job he can do to solidify the team as a whole. And that is how Championships are won. Not through signing flashy big name players with killer fantasy stats, but by bringing in players that want to and know how to work together as a fully functioning squad. This team is going to be fun to watch this next year. We have the fire power on offense with a proven strategy, and a very well seasoned secondary with masses of talent on Defense with a newly built 3-4 system that will bring out the inner pass rushers in our front 7.

Oh ya… Rod Smith should definitely have been mentioned. The guy was the heart of the team after Elway left.

Bring on the Orange Crush and Go Broncos!!!

Hey, Jim. Great blog. Reading about all these guys was bringing back some good memories like Rich Karlis kicking barefoot…ha too funny. Rod Smith really should have been added, but also agree that not too far off, Wesley Woodyard will be added to this list!

Go Broncos!!!!

I know Dawkins will make some people bleed in front of McDaniels! When that man hits someone it hurts me! And I’m just watching!

I can’t wait to see it live in a Denver uniform!!!

GO BRONCOS!
