I'm not sure why the Broncos don't trust themselves more often. They typically have a solid influx of rookies and last year they took a large leap to rebuilding their ailing DL by actually Drafting it. But they continue to worry and pick up free agents -- if only they'd follow this mock. Pressley would be a great addition for their middle, and I have zero confidence in Morton but at least they're keeping their wheels moving.
The Broncos' "second day" was a hell of a lot better than their dismal, potentially-worst-in-the-league first. They acquired the best K for their biggest hole on their roster at the bargain-price of a 6th, and Smith and Arrington continue to add to the blanket of talent surrounding Cutler as he develops. The Broncos didn't make up for their first day (how could you?), but they managed to finish their Draft off strong.
