CONGRATULATIONS fellas, Welcome to the Denver Broncos, that was a special day for you, your families and a lifetime experience no matter what round you were drafted in. Cool stuff!!

Great day for a player to see his dreams come true. I’m anxious to hear everyone’s comments. My first comment was there was amazing speed amongst that group of guys. Pretty impressive.

I still remember the day I was drafted like it was yesterday. It was a big day. Watching the T.V. surrounded by family and a few of my team mates at my home in Miami.

I’d already been drafted by the USFL, New Jersey Generals (remember those days?) and my team mate Jim Kelly was drafted and headed off to the Houston Team so New Jersey traded them my rights so Kelly could try to get me to sign with the USFL. Interesting times.

The USFL actually offered more money but had no severance or retirement, etc and the NFL was my dream and coming to the Denver Broncos with a QB named John Elway was something no one could compare.

It was fun watching all the families of the players enjoying the day. My father and mother were on cloud 9.

I’m curious on all your feedback you BRONCOMANIACs!!!!!!!!

    Love the selection of Ryan Clady - he is already familiar with the zone blocking scheme, so he will be able to make an immediate impact that we greatly need on the O-Line. ………..For Eddie Royal, I “hope” he is worthy of his selection in Round #2 — i know we need a great return man, and he IS very good in that aspect, ….but to pass on Limas Sweed - only to have him go to the Steelers……well, I am just going to keep my fingers crossed and say “Go Eddie”!!

    I think we didnt need a good WR, considering we have Marshall, Jackson, Colbert, and Parker. So I think getting a good KR is better than getting Limas Sweed.

    We should trade Keary Colbert and Andre Hall for Ty Law. Huh? Huh? what do U think?
