Tim Tebow?

The first time in history a mascot has been chosen in the first round.

That what this pick is and I don’t care how ‘tough’ McDaniels tries to pass himself as. If Tebow can manage to be the opposite that last year’s trade/pick (this year’s first for Alphonso Smith-who was Earl Thomas S of Tenn. for Seattle), it might be worth it.

I hate to be negative or destructive but it makes no sense to me. Thank for the point system but I see it differently. We gave up 3 potential players of great potential and contribution for 1. Reminds me of that scene in Saving Private Ryan when they come across that crash site where a 2 star general was found dead.

At this point I’m hoping we can fill our needs in the next two days but right now I’m not very pleased and less impressed w/this new brass that has replaced the old.

I would rather have those 3 picks back and add 3 more player to the line, either side, I don’t care. Orton is fine for now, just give him some protection. Not even Manning (either one) can throw behind our current line. All I want to see are players for both sides of the line for the rest of the draft. McD made his splash, now lets get boring for awhile.

I’m trying to find a silver lining and all I can think of is at least Tebow is built like a player, unlike the 5’ 8" corner this year we traded up for last year. (I’m really missing Shanahan right about now).

Does anyone have the definative list of our remaining picks?

One thing McX is not, and that is boring.

Colinski is correct, “cost isn’t an issue.” There’s risks and uncertainties with every draft pick. Whether they can really play with the big boys; whether they can stay healthy; whether they’re smart enough to learn whatever system they have to learn; whether they can stay out of trouble with the law (Hello! Ben Rothlisberger), and on and on. We gave up a 2nd, 3rd, and a 4th. for a guy who has done nothing but win his whole life. And win against the best., and put mind bogling numbers along the way. PA-LEZZZ! If we didn’t make this move and kept those three picks, God knows who we would have gotten, and we’d be wringing our hands about them. We’re all trying to hedge our bets on who’s got the skills to make it. It’s a big "who the hell knows, from the number one pick to “Mr. Irrelevant”’ So, I don’t see much sense in getting caught up in the paralysis of ananlysis on this, that and the other about Tebow’s mechanics, smarts, character… or whatever. It’s all a calculated risk. If I’m McD, I throw in with a proven stud like Tim Tebow. Geez! he made a player out of Matt Cassell for crying out loud, and got pretty good production out of Kyle Orten. As far as I’m concerned the cost for Tim Tebow is Mr. Bowlen’s money well spent. I give him a “Mile High Salute” for having the stones to make all of these changes and stickin’ his neck out there. He sure ain’t dull.

I have been several different things posted. In essence what Denver did is pick the best short yardage runner in this draft for a 3rd and 4th round pick.

Denver looked great with Cutler yardage wise but had a hard time scoring. With Tebow at 245 lbs, the Broncos at the very least have a powerful wildcat QB they can use in short yardage and goal line situations. He is a proven TD machine. The object of the game is to score TDs, something the Bronco offense has been lacking in the past few years.
