I Need Mental Help

anyway, you were disappointed in the draft because there was so little action in rounds 2-3.
In round 1, he made 5 trades. In rounds 2-3 we didn’t make any. I anticipated at least 2 trades. I think the fact that the players we took were smart picks, but not sexy picks also has to do with it. Zane Beadles and J.D. Walton are offensive lineman. It is hard to get overly excited for an offensive lineman when they aren’t really making plays.

Decker on the other hand got BroncoNation yelling in excitement. So Don’t worry. You don’t need Mental help. The lack of trades and sexy picks is why you felt a bit underwhelmed. Or at least that is my guess as to why you weren’t thrilled.

But rest assured, this draft definitely made us better. Our Offense is WAY better after this draft then before.

I really like Orton, and the Tebow selection makes me unsure of where his future lies.

But that said, Tebow is a great addition, and either way, the Broncos will be a better team this year and next – Orton or Tebow.

We just have to wait and deal with whatever decision is made.

Is that Miami is paying him $10 million per year. McDaniels didn’t have a problem with having Marshall on the team. He had a problem paying him $10 million a year to be on the team.
Teams have to be smart with where they spend their money. Washington used to prove this point on a yearly basis. It doesn’t matter how good a player is, eventually you’re overpaying him. Marshall’s behavioral problems just made paying him that much riskier.

This is a what if; What if Orton takes us to the playoffs and beyond this year or next (if there is a next) year, what do we do with 2 or three backs that certainly 1 or 2 of them want to be starters someday? This is a conundrum that might be hard to solve…Down the road that is.

Seriously, without this type of “hook” that gets us thinking, pondering, cringing and being conflicted…would it be as interesting?

"As for Tebow. What’s not to love about the guy?"

Let’s start with the obvious. He has horrible throwing mechanics that required him to completely change his throwing motion AFTER his college football career ended… Yum.. That he took most snaps out of shotgun in college and will have to learn how to take snaps and drop back from center with three, five and seven step drops he has little game experience with. He only needs to learn how to read defenses out of an NFL offense and not some gimmick offense that only works in college. He is left handed and we have the best young blind side protecting LT in the NFL (a huge positive that is mitigated quite a bit by a left handed passing QB).

So there are a few things not to like.

Our draft looks like a B- to me.

A high risk high reward pick with Thomas, whom is a project right now.

A reach in round 1 for Tebow, a big reach in round 2.

Good value in rounds 3 and 5. A good nickel CB in round 7 in case Smith continues to suck.

A wasted pick in round 6 with Seth Olsen on the roster (unless Olsen was a wasted pick in 2009).
