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

I love reading through the commentaries and the mixes. Don't count Lynch out and Royal reminds of the three amigos but much faster and he can help on special teams. I like Jarvis Moss and with a little weight, he has all the tools. I'm anxious for the season because I'm not sure I ever saw a season as injury riddled as 2007 for the Broncos as long as I've been watching. Can anyone confirm that. I can't remember one. I was actually surprised we faired as well as we did ans stayed close in games. I'm glad press got off the diabetes band wagon on Jay as many players have played with that and many other medical issues, let alone the wear and tear of the season. He'll have the best medical assistance available and the trainers at Dove Valley are the best. I can attest to that with all the injuries I and many of the fellas played with in that day. The Michigan tackle being picked first did bring back a memory of Tony Mandrich who was at Michigan State and a offensive tackle who was the second pick in the draft after Aikman, he had a heck of time adjusting to the NFL, so there's never a guarantee. Still early in spring and the Tarpon are moving in the Keys so I'm headed that way to chase them on a fly rod. Anyone a fly nut out there? I know you think Coop's crazy (O.K. a little) after I say this, but after the NFL I couldn't find anything that gave me that Game Day RUSH and adrenaline pump. I was fishing a few celebrity tournaments and BOOM! I was introduced to fly fishing in saltwater. Now let me tell you, seeing a triple digit Tarpon eat a fly in front of you in nano-seconds is a mind blowing experience. (TALK about adrenaline) You blink and shake your head the first time and are trying to comprehend that you really saw what just happend in front of you, and can't believe your eyes saw that.....and it's crazy. Then you have 100's of pounds of fish on a Gloomis fly rod jumping GIGANTIC holes, the size of volkswagons in the ocean in front of you. Game Day Rush ON!!!!! I know it's not football or the Broncos but for me it fullfills a spot I needed filled and yes I'm a adrenaline junkie for Tarpon!! You have to try it once in your life, even if it's on spinning tackle. Catch you all in a week, I'll be out of commission with Tarpon fever :o) No need to watch ESPN with all the comments and matchups you have all have thrown up on the board.

Someone mentioned it earlier that we should've drafted Nashard Mendenhall, and you know what, I love our draft but I DO miss that stud runningback. I'm tired of all these minor runningbacks who we have to wait and see and hope that they'll be good. I look at the Chargers and they have the one thing that we don't have, a Star at Tailback. Think, when the Broncos have been at their best who was in the backfield, Terrell Davis. I want that back who can tote the rock 25-30 times per game and really take the pressure off of Jay Cutler and I'm sorry but Travis Henry alone is not the guy. We need a workhorse and we haven't had one since Clinton Portis and even he shared carries. Until we get one people will line the Demarcus Ware's of the league up on our LOS on 3rd down, and bury Cutler everytime.

One was an effective contributor to last season's Super Bowl champs. I submit that 2006 is probably the best draft I can ever remember the Broncos having. (Although the Atwater/Humprey first round was pretty sick, and the Tom Nalen/Rod Smith/Keith Burns end of that draft was awesome too). Of course, it would be awesome if the 2008 draft can have as much of any impact as the 06 draft... I'm just not exactly holding my breath on that. Cisco - In reference to “Oveall this is the best draft we’ve had in a long time,” I’d like to draw your attention to a time that I like to call “Just over two years ago”

1- Jay Cutler
2- Tony Scheffler
4a- Brandon Marshall
4b- Elvis Dumervil
4c- Domenik Hixon
5- Chris Kuper
6- Greg Eslinger

I have followed 7th rnd: RB/FB-Peyton Hillis. Let me tell you that he is AWESOME! He runs a 4.5 40 & will run you over. He broke the All time Arkansas High School Rushing record playing TB in high school. Then he got to UofA D-mac & Felix also arrived. Coach wanted all 3 of them on the field at the same time because they were our 3 best players, so we moved Hillis to FB. Oh yeah he was also our leading receiver in catches & yards last year.

Collins and came to AZ State Univ. --Been here in the desert much of the past 35+ yrs. Watching Ryan Torrain most of the past 2 yrs., he's been a dominating tailback. He was a good mix of power thru the holes and could break it or get around the corner. He had good strong legs and hard to bring down and would punish linebackers and def. back when he broke thru. He was fun. He had an injury that took him out of the last 4 games or so this yr. or would have gone in the top 2 rounds I believe. My opinion is he's a sleeper and could be a jewel at 139. I'm glad he went to the Broncos who needs a good back and depth at running back. He can also catch the ball and get down the field. Here's hoping he finds a spot and makes a solid impact for the Orange and Blue. Always a Broncos fan and hoping Cutler breaks thru this yr. and that we get solid work out of our recievers. --from a Colo. Boy in the desert. I was raised in Ft.

Guys, we know it is all up to Shanny when it comes to where palyers will play. After last year I saw that DJ can play either position amazingly. But why was he put there in the 1st place? There wasn't much choice. His size fits in the middle but his speed fits him outside. Like it was said, Niko isn't as fast. But we didn't see Al Wilson running circles around ppl. He just plain stuffed the run. In my opinion DJ fits better outside but I don't know if Niko is the answer in the middle. But hoestly I hope he proves me wrong, I think he's a class guy.
