It just surprises me that McDaniels made a RB his number one priority.

Got ya', thanks. Yours is a view shared by many.

MickeyD continues to cause many tightened sphincters in Donk land.

Aint that the truth. Kid better produce come game day. I'm not saying he wont', I'm saying he better.

I'm all for having a burner RB and I think Moreno is a stud. I also think a RB can and will go down to injury quicker than any other position. We'll know more about this and all other draft picks in a year or two.

Truth, outside of KR is there a position with a shorter shelf life these days?

Yeah exactly. You've got to believe that he's looking to play ball control with his offense to keep that defense off the field...

Wassup DaWolf, as i recall you're a Cal Bear fan right? I did a little research on Cameron Morrah the tight end we drafted in the 7th round. the kid looks pretty damn good! It seems like he should have gone sooner in the draft.

Do you know much about this dude? Thanks.

(Maybe he looks so good because most of his highlight film is against the Huskies defense) :)

We can hope, but I think Moreno is going to be phenomenal for about four years. Then, he will flame out due to the constant pounding he will take.

Unfortunately mile ayerS while good last year is a one year wonder. I love knowshon an branderster kid. I think branderster was gonna be our pick so MCdaniels traded up ahead of us. That's my two cents

What makes you think that? Just a hunch?

Ayers could be a 1-hit wonder, but history shows that half or more of these picks wind up missing the mark. So, the predominantly orange and blue fans will just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Mile High Mania 04-28-2009 01:38 PM

We'll have to wait and see obviously on the draft grades, but I did find this interesting. Last year, few thought Clady would have an impact in year one and most seemed to think that Royal was a reach. So, while half the draft typically fails... half or more of the "expert draft grades" are a big miss also.

I think that both Denver and K.C. had good drafts. Of course, if Alphonso Smith turns out to be another Chris Canty, Broncos fans will break out the pitchforks and storm the tower.

I was going to post a message to that effect Sunday. I saw an interview with Brandstater where he said he had talked to Cassel quite a bit (and Cassel had high praise for McDaniels).

But the next story mentioned that he and Cassel have the same agent and that's how they hooked up, so I backed off.

He does sure fit the Brady/Cassel mold, though, so I suspect Pioli gave him a look.

why would the broncos give up a 1st next year for short corner like smith when they could have drafted DJ Moore in the 4th??? bad decision. you watch. DJ Moore out of Vandy will be a player. If you have ever seen him play, you already knew that. ask a USC gamecock fan.

Smith was the number 1 CB on Denver's draft board.
