If the Pats liked Bryant, they would have grabbed him at 22. There's some depth with receivers with second-round grades.

They're doing fine, and will use the extra picks to trade up in the second round when something comes along.

Gotta enjoy it while I can...but it won't last.

I love Gruden. He just totally verbally bitched slap Young when for like the fourth time he was talking shit about Denver's McDaniel and trading away Brandon Marshall. Classic. He is right to the guy caught ton of passes none in the playoffs and when in the last game they needed him hewas able to play.Correct.

Tebow? Wowsers

holy crap Tebow going before Clausen, W T F?

To Denver?

Tebow to Denver. Hmmm.

are you serious? balt cant be that dumb

Clausen is a giant douche who lacks leadership skills..

That would be the stadium where he would be closest to Jesus.

whos taking tebow? and who needs to be fired for this move?

Broncos = Epic Fail.

Tebow lacks QB throwing skills.

wonder if they thought the Cards might take him if they didn't get him here

Eh...I'm just irritated. I'd like to see them stick and take a pick for once...instead of constantly trading down. Especially because BB hasn't really shown that his "trade down and get a ton of picks" strategy has resulted in getting guys that stick on the team.

Frankly I think Pioli was much more important than any of us thought.

Congrats to Tebow, heck of a gamble, but one that I believe will pay off for Denver better than most of the other options available to them.

A lot to pay for a Wildcat QB.

LOL

Irony.

Yikes. :)

Makes no sense.

wow, shocker.

Denver traded a 2nd, 3rd, and a 4th to move up to get Tebow!?!?!?! Whoa.

Broncos = morons.

Wow. Baltimore with a heck of a trade.

Was it up the thread here somewhere where someone said (or reference someone's report) that McDaniel knew all along who he wanted & was maneuvering to get that player from the beginning?

I wonder if Kiper has ever missed by this much, on such a high profile guy, as with Clausen? I know Rodgers slid quite a bit, but I'm not sure how highly he was rated. He obviously ended up being a very good starter, so I'm not knocking Mel (who I like a lot) -- just curious as to whether or not he has had a top 5 guy drop out of the top 25 before.

Eagles still have the #37 and need a S?

There was an article a while back (Peter King?) that pointed out that the Patriots have really not done much in the draft since the first couple that BB and Pioli put together, and much of their mystique comes from taking Brady in the 6th round. And outside of the D-Line, they've missed a lot since then.

No fucking way geez Tebow what hell did we get Quinn for.

That would be awesome. I think he has all of the physical skills to become a very good safety.

Tebow has what looks like a douchebag of a posse around him.

FTR, the only QB in this draft I believe will have an equal or better NFL than Tebow is Claussen and I'm not nearly 100% sure about even him.

And people make fun of the Raiders???

cant believe ESPN managed to hype him into the 1st round. Mcdaniels is an idiot and i feel sorry for Denver fans. on the plus side i dont have to worry about the Vikes taking him at 1.30

I didn't enjoy the over-coverage that he got at Florida, but I'm rooting for Tebow. He seems like a good kid.

I have to say I just don't understand taking Tebow if your Denver. You just traded for Brady Quinn and Kyle Orton is serviceable. Surely you had a bigger need than QB?

But McDaniels is a GENIUS!

According to an article about his draft night plans I saw a little earlier, those are pretty likely his old high school teammates.

Yeah. I saw that...and i agree.

It's almost like they know that now and they trade down to try to avoid making the hard decision or something.

Or that's how it seems to me.

im a little late - but a proud day for Rutgers

Denver is a joke.

Well, you have to think someone else at the bottom of the first was planning on taking Tebow or else Denver would not have felt the urgency to move up.

I bet Todd McShay is giggling to himself every pick the passes up Clausen.

ive always hated jeremy schaap. your dad was cool, but you suck

+100

I might be ok with a 4th to move up but three picks?

i like him too, hes the kind of guy you want your sister to bring home. he still will suck as a nfl qb though

Are you Bobby Knight?

Tebow will be a solid NFL QB.

Damn that Tebow guy for taking away all the Cardinal talk when its their pick :)
