Peter King of SI thinks

Denver must take a QB. Here is his take on Coach McDaniels.

He's traded Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and Tony Scheffler in his first 15 months on the job. He and GM Brian Xanders have the 11th, 43rd and 45th picks to start the replenishment, and I expect them to at least take a quarterback by pick 45 to compete with Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. It's all well and good for McDaniels to have his own program and to be making decisions to get a bunch of his own guys in there. But if this year ends without a quarterback of the future in place in Denver, and the Broncos hired McDaniels thinking at the very least he'd run a great passing game, well, the fans (and the owner) are going to be pretty disappointed.

Now this pundit must realize that there is no franchise QB in this draft. Besides Bradford, Brandstater is as qualified as all the QB's in the 2010 draft.

If we draft a QB

I have no doubt that Tommy B isn’t getting the job done and he will be gone.

Well I would love to see Colt McCoy slip to us in the 2nd round

But I seriously doubt we would take a QB in the first three rounds, but I would be happy to see McCoy in Denver.

Agree with you......

And hope we don’t draft Tebow, like the guy and what he brings to the table, but……
Another experimental QB???? Don’t see 4 QBs in the roster, so or Orton or TB will be gone by the draft.

why not 4 QBs on the roster?

yeah

I really dig McCoy. I think he’s got some real upside surprise. Seems very committed, good leader.

So

we just give up on Ayers after one year? Great drafting Peter King

by DBroncs1414 on Apr 21, 2010 12:24 PM MDT up reply actions

How about to complement Ayers.

We don’t know how Dumervil is going to react to his tender and single year left on his contract…Cover you bases and you’ll never get thrown out!

by bfree2bronc on Apr 21, 2010 12:47 PM MDT up reply actions

you'd rather cover your bases on Dumervil...

than fill an actual need?
I’m definitely up for a 3-4 OLB project in the later rounds, but not with our first rounder unless someone offers us a couple of 1sts for Doom

"Besides Bradford, Brandstater is as qualified as all the QB’s in the 2010 draft."

That is absurd and proposterous to claim. Bradstater was regarded as maybe the 12th to 15th best QB in the 2009 draft.

There are plenty of QBs in the 2010 that carry a much higher draft grade than Bradstater ever did. Just because you like him doesn’t make him a better or equal prospect than Colt McCoy, Clausen, Tebow, LaFlaure, Pike, etc. Your claim is completely unfounded and no legit scout (Mayock, Wright, Kiper) would agree with you. NONE OF THEM.

In my opinion.
