I'm not as down on Brown as some of you.

He's been out there quite a bit this year. I think it was when Arenas was hurt. He's been lost a few times and burned some, but they can't all hit the ground running like Flowers. He's made some pretty respectable plays in coverage this year, plus some contributions on special teams.

It might be a case of a blind squirrel finding an acorn, but I see some potential there.

heh, i rememeber getting roasted after the draft for trying to calm down everyones expectations. A team simply cannot hit a Homerun on every pick. 3 or 4 good players should be considered a solid draft. Alot of times, We as fans let our expecatations get unreasonable.

He has played defense in ONE GAME for less than 20 snaps.

He's closer to Donald Washington than anything right now. Another Pioli 4th round CB who is terrible.

pretty sure Gabe Miller is on IR for those keeping score at home.

so thats probably why he has contributed nothing lol

Ya well, Gabe Miller was the ultimate "wtf" pick.

I bet even Kiper was going through notes trying to figure out who the **** he was.

While this is obviously all still incomplete, I give the whole draft a B as of now.

Slight downgrade from the A I thought this draft was on draft day.

I don't see how you can give anyone in your rookie class an A grade. Von Miller, Demarco Murray, AJ Green, Julio Jones, Cam Newton, and Andy Dalton are "A grade" players.

I think every grade on every one of your players should be dropped down 1 letter grade.

My Broncos grades

A Grades
Von Miller- no description necessary

B Grades
RT Orlando Franklin - has struggled in pass pro but is a stud in the run game and has started every game

S Quinton Carter- 4th round pick who has earned a starting job and is a sure tackler who has helped the defense.

C Grades
TE Virgil Green - Excellent in the run game and has been more than worth the 7th round pick we used to get him

D Grades
S Rahim Moore - Was supposed to be a playmaker but hasn't made any plays, is a poor tackler who was beat out of his starting job by a safety drafted two rounds below him

MLB Nate Irving - Was drafted to be a starter, hasn't done much even on special teams. Not a huge let down though.

TE Julius Thomas - He has just been injured and hasn't been given much of a shot. Not a bad pick, still has a lot of upside. Is getting a D grade just because he can't get on the field.

Not worthy of a grade

DE Jeremy Beal and LB Mike Mohammed - 6th and 7th round picks who nothing much was expected of, Mohammed has been on the practice squad and has just now been bumped to the active roster.

Baldwin is getting A's when he hasn't done jack shit. I love the optimism guys, but come on.

I would give up our last 3 drafts for 1 superstar QB. That is the only way I would ever give an A to a draft.

PFF rates him as the 60th best run blocker and the 57th best pass blocker.

He's a turd.

I disagree. We were the 23rd ranked rush offense in the NFL last year and are ranked #1 in the NFL this year... The only change on the offensive line is Orlando Franklin.

PFF also ranks the Broncos as the worst run-blocking team in the league.

Your running game is Tebow and spread option bullshit.
