2009 Draft Results for Denver Broncos - Some Surprises

McDaniels wants to get the best player available on each go round, and certainly he did that to an extent. What seems to be missing to me is the lack of defensive veterans, and maybe one or two new defensive linemen to protect the quarterback more. Oh well, I guess his plan is to just have a very average defense and just dazzle us with his new and exciting offense. Now that Cutler is gone, there will be no need to protect the quarterback, so now these new guys will have to be quick to get outta the way of the big offensive linemen coming at them.

We are all in total amazment at the events of the past 2 months, including the draft. The one thing I do want to point out is that they picked up a backup QB by the name of Tom Brandstater, a number 6 pick from Fresno State. I remember that Tom Brady was also a number 6 pick many years back so maybe McDaniels is trying to duplicate history?

Here are the guys they drafted over the weekend:

1 - Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia (5-11, 217); 1 - Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee (6-3, 272); 2 - Alphonso Smith, CB, Wake Forest (5-9, 193); 2 - Darcel McBath, S, Texas Tech (6-0, 198); 2 - Richard Quinn, TE, North Carolina (6-4. 264) 4 - David Bruton, S, Notre Dame (6-2, 219); 4 - Seth Olsen, OL, Iowa (6-5, 306); 5 - Kenny McKinley, WR, South Carolina (6-0, 189); 6 - Tom Brandstater, QB, Fresno State (6-5, 220); 7 - Blake Schlueter, C, TCU (6-2, 286)

Moreno from Georgia is a good back, and will hopefully keep the defense so busy chasing him that they won't need a great passer for awhile.

Anyway, it is late so I will post more later.
