This is the thing that makes me laugh when I look at Denvers draft. McDaniels says he wants to bring in the 3-4 D, gets a 3-4 coordinator and obviously knows his line was already god awful enough in the 4-3...and will be even worse. To fix that, they ignore the line completely.
If they run the 4-3, they are going to be gashed. If they run the 3-4, running backs are going to be lining up to run wild on them. McDaniels ignored his biggest need and grabbed picks that would make ESPN happy.
He's going to be counting on neckbeard to score 30+ points a game each week and will be kicking themselves hard next year for dealing that first rounder.
TL;DR: McDaniels takes a good draft situation and Vermeils it.
