Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said earlier in the afternoon that he would trade up in the second round if a "valuable" player was available.

He wasn't kidding. McDaniels dealt the 2010 first-round pick obtained from Chicago in the Jay Cutler deal to nab Alphonso Smith, an all-American cornerback from Wake Forest, at No. 37.

The Broncos retained their original second-round pick, No. 48 overall.

Smith intercepted 21 passes during his four-year college career, including eight in 2007 and seven in 2008.

LMAO

So for Jay Culter they got Ayers and a 5'9" cornerback?

gay trade. gay front office.

ROFL @ Denver. Did they really give up a potential top 10 pick for Alphonso Smith?

apparently that + Orton + a 3rd round pick.

I didn't like the trade from the get go, but now I am starting to hate it.

Orton better be the next Tom Brady.:mad:

Uh, I'd rather have the two guys you got.

Well, it was the Bears' pick next year, so it'll probably be a mid- to low-first.

We left just before the fun started apparently.

You are never going to be able to take all those players and draft picks and say it'll match what Cutler can bring to the table. At best you could equal the value.

:grovel: 1-15 :grovel:

Apparently

So Denver has now spent 3 1sts and a 2nd on a RB, DE, CB, and S. :hmmm:

I guess that might help them out, but I'm really surprised that they didn't focus more on a pass rusher.

Who? I don't think any of the pass rushers are at all impressive this year.

Or the Chiefs would have drafted one.
