Ayers is a good pick. Moreno was bad. They get a C so far.

Let's not lose our heads here. We threw away a pro bowl QB and you may have gotten a franchise QB. You could have just given the pick to Denver for nothing and still would have had a better off season. |

Dude, Ayers would get MAULED as a 2-gap, 5-technique tackle. He would be used as a tackle in certain passing situations, which is not uncommon for DEs to play. It is highly doubtful that the two will play the same position. Jackson has almost 30 pounds on Ayers. In a world where sacks were the only thing that matters, then yes, you may have a point. Jackson is far safer and he plays a position that most 3-4 nuts would argue has a much greater impact. |

The Broncos were looking for a stout, pass-rushing defensive end for their new 3-4 defense. Ayers recorded three sacks and 14 tackles for losses in 2008. Ayers could play either 5-technique defensive end or pass-rush outside linebacker. Ayers appeared in nine games as a redshirt freshman in 2005, but was suspended from the team after being charged with aggravated assault. Charges were later reduced to misdemeanor assault. Ayers became a fulltime starter in 2008, and broke through for 49 tackles, 15.5 tackles for a loss and three sacks. He was a first-team all-SEC selection by the league's coaches and second-Team by the Associated Press as a senior. Named the Senior Bowl's outstanding defensive player after making three tackles and 1.5 sacks. Ayers is athletic and versatile. He could stand to add some upper body strength. http://www.denverpost.com/ci_12227389 |

I understand the good things Ayers brings to the table, but don't spin this like Denver is on the right track. This is the worst offseason since Red Miller became head coach. |

"He's athletic and versatile. He could stand to add some upper body strength." A 3-4 OLB needs the former, a 3-4 DE needs the latter. If he plays any snaps as a 5-technique, it's only to add a wrinkle. But make no mistake that the majority of his snaps will likely be in the 3-4 OLB. C'mon, man. Many draftniks claim that he was undersized as a 4-3 DE. You really think he's going to have the size to then play a position that many claim is more similar to a defensive tackle? |

Ayers might be one of THE most over-hyped guys in the 1st round. |

If I had been standing next to our Owner/Coach/GM when they announced this pick I would have punched any one of them in the throat. Then, after they fell to the floor, pissed in their eye.
So...no...I'm not happy with us picking a RB first overall. |

I'm going to go on record here - save this post for future reference.
Ayers will be much better than Longbust Orakpo. and Moreno will be better than Maclin (both pretty good). tags: orange prediction |
