They Better!
In the 2009 Draft the Broncos have 10 picks.
First: 12th & 18th
Second: 48th
Third: 79th & 84th
Fourth: 114th
Fifth: 149th
Sixth: 18
Seventh: 225th & 235th
As most drafts go... beyond the first few picks they are unpredictable! However with the Broncos this is different. Its like they have a HUGE sign hanging outside of Dove Valley saying Defensive Players apply here. Or - a full page add in SI or at ESPN saying Defense Wanted!
All this talk about moving up to sign Sanchez is ludicrous. Moving up to sign B.J. Raji makes sense. If the right person is not available at 12th look for the Broncos to try and trade down. I would be shocked if the Broncos took a running back or quarterback on the first day.
Since the Cutler trade Bronco fans have been real down ESPECIALLY at the prospect of starting over with a new unproven QB. Trading Cutler and drafting Sanchez MAKES ZERO SENSE! If McD- is really serious about Sanchez and I do not believe that he is, this says, he may not be pleased with Simms or Orton. He wants three quarterbacks. The question is why would he want three quarterbacks so close in age? Why would McD- want three costly QB contracts? Why would McD- want to pay Simms about 3 million a year, Orton about 2.25 million a year and a new unproven rookie about 7.5 million a year? The average quarterback salary in the NFL is just under 2 million according to S.I.
It's difficult to get excited about our running game! Peyton Hillis in his short stunt had ONLY 68 ATTEMPTS. Correll Buckhalter, with a total of ONLY 476 attempts in eight seasons excites no one! He averaged about 4 attempts per game. LaMont Jordan is closer to what REAR Coach McD- wants 872 attempts and almost eight carries a game.
REAR Coach McD- and General Mess know that if they Blow 10 Picks they are toast. As much as I would like to seem them somewhere else blowing the draft is not the way. I truly hope for the Broncos sake that REAR Coach McD- and General Mess Xanders do not squander this coming draft!
