Thanks NYC....

Is Peter Schrager a complete dill? He still has Denver with 2 picks in the 5th and only 1 pick in the 7th…..and if we have the draft he gives I will be throwing stuff all over the house.
Lots of reading today.
Thanks for all you do NYC!

I sure appreciate these daily compilations!

TYVM!

As for Klis commenting on us moving up for Sanchez ……well, I just can’t figure him out.

All these stories about how teams use misdirection prior to the draft to confuse other teams….well I think he’s fallen for it hook, line and sinker!

God I hope so anyway… :O

Value Rankings

You look at where Karl Mecklenburg rates on this list and it always makes me mad how he can’t possibly be let in the HOF.

Loss-man

Oh man, thankful they didn’t sign Losman. He has a rocket arm but a rock brain. Much rather have Simms as a backup.

Oh and re Klis' predictions

For a team desperate for more defensive help, he predicts they take two offensive players with their first two picks??

I’m going to do my own mock draft based on Kils’ — picking the opposite of everything he says.

Cripes

Kisla believes that Bronco fans are railing to draft a franchise QB this year instead of fielding an actual defense?

Wow.

How out of touch can those jokers get?? Can’t wait for them to lay eyes on our own Johnny B at the draft this year! The voice of the fan will be HEARD.

Typical Hack Analyst

Goes for all offensive players in the first round and the two most public types, QB and RB.

I will say though if you were to only read the DP forums for your insight into Bronco Country you would think that we were all clamoring fools who can’t spell, and only know about 100 words of the english language, most of them being four letters.

Yeah...but they only read the posts of their readers at the DP..

Right

Trade up to get Sanchez and then get Moreno- a QB and a RB.

Uh huh, sure. If that happens, I’ll eat my computer.

The guy is out of his tiny little mind.
