To stay atop you cant keep missing in the draft as the broncos have done over the past 10 years...yes we have found a couple good players but how many 1st round picks have we blown. I will start in 2003.
2003

1 George Foster Georgia
2 Terry Pierce Kansas State
4 Quentin Griffin Oklahoma
4 Nicholas Eason Clemson
4 Bryant McNeal Clemson
5 Ben Claxton Mississippi
5 Adrian Madise Texas Christian
6 Aaron Hunt Texas Tech
7 Clint Mitchell Florida
7 Ahmaad Galloway Alabama
only one of these 10 players really did anything and he wasnt nothing special Q. Griffin. This whole draft was a waste. Notable players we missed picked after us in each round..Dallas Clark(1st), Nick Barnett(1st), Nnamdi Asomugha (1st), Anquan Boldin(2nd), Osi Umenyiora(2nd), Lance Briggs(3rd), Jason Witten 3rd, Asante Samuel(4th)

3 Jeremy LeSueur Michigan
5 Jeff Shoate San Diego State
6 Triandos Luke Alabama
6 Josh Sewell Nebraska
7 Matt Mauck Louisiana State
7 Brandon Miree Pittsburgh
7 Bradlee Van Pelt Colorado State
DJ was a nice pick...tatum bell helped but could we have done better? the rest of these guys did nothing. players we missed. Matt Schaub(3rd) Jared Allen(4th) Michael Turner(5th 2 picks after us)
2005
Rnd Name College Note
2 Darrent Williams Oklahoma State
3 Karl Paymah Washington State
3 Domonique Foxworth Maryland
3 Maurice Clarett Ohio State
6 Chris Myers Miami (FL)
7 Paul Ernster Northern Arizona
Darrent williams was a great pick the kid was gonna be a star. paymah and foxworth played a little but if you redid draft they arent second and third round pics. Marion Barber III(4th) Trent Cole (5th) Jay Ratliff(7th)
2006
Rnd Name College Note
1 Jay Cutler Vanderbilt
2 Tony Scheffler Western Michigan
4 Brandon Marshall Central Florida
4 Elvis Dumervil Louisville
4 Domenik Hixon Akron
5 Chris Kuper North Dakota
6 Greg Eslinger Minnesota
This was probably are best draft and three of the best players from this draft are no longer with Denver...Thanks Mcdouch. Scheffler in the 2nd was a reach yes i liked him but not as a 2nd round pick. Antoine Bethea (6th) Cortland Finnegan(7th) Marques Colston (7th)
2007
Rnd Name College Note
1 Jarvis Moss Florida
2 Tim Crowder Texas
3 Ryan Harris Notre Dame
4 Marcus Thomas Florida
Horrible first 2 picks you can not keep setting your franchise back by continuously missing in the first 2 rounds. Marcus Thomas is more like a 6-7th rounder I think we traded up to get him too. Leon Hall(1st) Michael Griffin 1st, Jon Beason 1st, Sidney Rice 2nd, LaMarr Woodley 2nd,
2008

1 Ryan Clady Boise State
2 Eddie Royal Virginia Tech
4 Kory Lichtensteiger Bowling Green
4 Jack Williams Kent State
5 Ryan Torain Arizona State
5 Carlton Powell Virginia Tech
6 Spencer Larsen Arizona
7 Josh Barrett Arizona State
7 Peyton Hillis Arkansas
Clady is a stud see what a cant miss does for your team. Eddie Royal nice pick but he was taken before DeSean Jackson & Ray Rice...would you make the same pick? S. Larsen is the only other player with us..we all know about hillis...thanks again Mcdouch...
2009
Rnd Name College Note
1 Knowshon Moreno Georgia
1 Robert Ayers Tennessee
2 Alphonso Smith Wake Forest
2 Darcel McBath Texas Tech
2 Richard Quinn North Carolina
4 David Bruton Notre Dame
4 Seth Olsen Iowa
5 Kenny McKinley South Carolina
6 Tom Brandstater Fresno State
7 Blake Schlueter TCU
This draft killed me!!! Mcdouch was hired late said his staff wasn't prepared for draft but trades up to take Smith then trades him after one year!! just on that whole situation alone he should be fired. Moreno is the #12 pick he better start running like the #12 pick if your a RB taken that high you better be a stud...I haven't seen it yet. Ayers I'm not sold on him yet. Yes he did a nice job against the Titans but there are other times I don't know hes on the field. I like Mcbath If he can stay healthy. Worst pick ever taking Richard Quinn in the second again picks like that kill a franchise. Everyone laughed at oakland for taking Michael Mitchell well we should be laughed at more for taking Quinn. I seen Michael Mitchell making some plays against use sunday where was Quinn?

2 Zane Beadles Utah
3 J.D. Walton Baylor
3 Eric Decker Minnesota
5 Perrish Cox Oklahoma State
6 Eric Olsen Notre Dame
7 Syd'Quan Thompson California
7 Jammie Kirlew Indiana
Cant say to much here don't know yet...A lot of people would debate the Tebow pick I'm not gonna. We will see is all.
My point, you cant keep missing with the first two rounds. We had the talent early to make up for it but now we don't because of the missed picks. Are drafting has to get a lot better Period. :beer:
