Tops remembers the BRONCOS first draft!

I'm just like "ok" with this draft. I like Wolfe, and I like the Hiller pick. I'm "ok" with Osweiler, but I'm not excited about it. Im not upset about it because I was expecting it...but at the same time I would have preferred another player. I'll defend the pick because I feel that Os sitting behind Manning could absolutely pay HUGE dividends...while at the same time, if it doesn't pay off.... so what. The benefits GREAATLY out-weigh the risk.

I think the key to avoiding 3rd down is getting a Hillman on the field before that. Defensively, 1st and 2nd are treated like 3rd anymore.

I think these guys will get more PT than we think...


...even Jackson

I haven't been drinking and not sure why I typed Baker.

I think I've decided being "meh" on a draft class is much better than being really excited, or really upset. I think that means exactly what you said in your last sentence. Benefits outweigh the risk.

I'm younger. Shrug. I've done well on my picks =]

Of course if Wolfe turns into a defensive stud, Osweiler lives up to his potential and becomes a FQB, Bolden eventually becomes a solid starter and the same for Blake, and Hillman turns out to be more then a simple third down tailback, then EFX will be seen as geniuses.

The difference between brilliance and idiocy is a very fine line.

Personally, I'm least strong on Bolden. He's a pure boom//bust.

I still want Danny Baker from TAMU!

If that happens it will be one of our top few drafts ever. Lot of ifs. Wolfe is the most intriguing to me. I like the dude, never heard of him before last night... And all of our other picks (even malik) Seem to be rated higher than him.

woooooooooooo! DEN finally on the "next" list again!

I'm thinking best LB available.

Would be a solid UDFA

Wolfe was on boards, but he is a pure UT/3T with his current body type and his skill set.

Supposedly, he was on top of other boards, including SD who had to default to Reyes.

Redskins should take Lindley just to be sure.
