Bronco top 3 picks

by Rockymountainway on Apr 29, 2009 12:03 AM MDT

This is the way that the organization will justify the first three draft picks:

#12 Knowshon Moreno- Best back on the board. So we ended up drafting the best RB and probably at that point the best player left on the board at #12. I will say right now we have the OROY in this pick. He will not come off the field on 3rd down. He can catch out of the bakfield and pass block better then any back in this draft.

#18 Robert Ayers- Best rated OLB/DE on the board. I have heard comparisions for him to become the next DeMarcus Ware. Don't know about any of you, but that will be just fine with me. The guy ran the 100 meter at UT and the 4x100 that means speed. Go watch the highlight video of him on YouTube and you will see that he is an incredible athlete that plays in the backfield. He may not have gotten the numbers of sacks, but he always was putting pressure on the QB. Pressure means rushed throws and rushed throws mean turnovers. I heard Mel Kiper today say he will be the DROY.

#37 Alphonso Smith- Best rated CB on the board. Amazing athlete nicknamed "Prime". Go watch his highlight tape on YouTube as well he is incredible. Now trading the 1st round pick next year ends up working out just fine since this is the player taken. McDaniels said that we had 4 1st round picks over the course of the next 2 years. We just happened to get 3 of them this year. Only 9 players in CFB history had more picks then Prime in his career. He's a playmaker that is going to remind us all of D-Will (R.I.P).

I could continue on with McBath (playmaker) and Quinn (reach, but will turn into Dan Graham who was a 1st round pick)

Also Chris Baker from Hampton will become a big time NT at 6'2" 326lbs and athletic enough to play DE as well. He dominated at his college level and was so good at Penn St Joe Pa was trying to get the university to overlook his character concerns. Hopefully he's grown up and we don't have any of that.

Lets stop question McDaniels until he fails!!

Your Optimism is contagious

Why don’t we just go ahead and make Prime the Special Teams POY? LOL.
But seriously.

Great 1st post RMW and rec'd!

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
All I want is 53 Rod Smiths. Is that asking too much????

Actually, in Xanders view:

They didn’t just get the best RB and OLB/DE in the draft, they got the best offensive player and defensive player in the draft.

Hopefully, he is right.

More than Xanders

This view is being reiterated across other boards even the vaunted ESPN where their draft experts picked Moreno AND Ayers and offensive/defensive rookies of the year.

Don't jump off the cliff but if the guys next to you are loud and annoying try to push them off.

Good Post

And some good solid advice……..

Lets stop questioning McDaniels until he fails!!

Is Quinn a first round talent?

If it is true that the broncos worked him out and he ran great routes and made every catch then I can see why they did not want to take a chance on losing him.

Is Chris Baker a second round talent?

If he has learned to stop getting in fights when out in public, and as far as I know he hasn’t done that in over a year. Maybe he’s grown out of that. From what little I’ve read he’s a beast on the field.

Character...?

1) There are few walking the planet today that would be able to withstand even the slightest scrutiny in today’s internet world.

2) Many of the so-called character issues being portrayed in the USA today are MINOR when compared in the global context. Our society has gone so far to the Right it is a joke. Further, once a ‘bad’ character in our society, always a ‘bad’ character, it is assumed. I challenge that position.

So, I downplay many of the so-called character issues I hear about it. Judge the players going forward, not backward.

This may well be another sleeper pick that those with eyes to see were able to see and those without eyes to see were not able to.

I am all for the former until proven wrong.
