    I forgot we traded up for Latimer -- I knew it was a doomed pick from the start!

    Was not happy in this one - wanted Shazier and wasn't thrilled with the Roby pick. Roby seemed to prove me wrong ... for awhile ...

    Also forgot Denver actually traded UP for Latimer ... did get Paradis ... but wow this was just a terrible night for Elway.

    My first post in this thread wins.

    Well done past me, well done! Future UR29 highly approves.
    The Plan at the moment:

    Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).

    Players I want:
    Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
    Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
    Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell

    It's interesting to see these reviews in retrospect, not because they were wrong, but just it gives perspective on how enthusiastic everybody is about the draft right after it happens, compared with what we now know about players.

    Bradley Roby (CB) - "A One of the best corners in the draft with unlimited upside, great natural ability and has top 15 athletic ability, great addition at this spot."
    Actual Grade: C. Roby was valuable as a nickel back and lasted for 5 years but the Broncos didn't like what they saw when he was given the #2 CB job last year and let him walk. Now he has a 1 year "prove it" $10m contract with Houston.

    Cody Latimer (WR) - "B+ Love this kid, great attitude, great blocker with good hands, has the athleticism and physique to be special, question trading up for him in such a deep wide receiver draft though."
    Actual Grade: F. Never developed into a starter, let alone a star. Last year he caught 11 passes for the Giants.

    Michael Schofield (OL) - "C+ Wasn't the best offensive tackle option, versatile player who needs time to improve because he is limited and a questionable fit in a man offensive line scheme such as in Denver."
    Actual Grade: C. Schofield was injured immediately after being forced into the starting role. Recovered partially, was forced back into the lineup and reinjured. Was moved inside to G by the Chargers after failing as a LT, where he started 16 games for the Chargers and was instrumental in helping them into the playoffs. But, the Broncos cut him loose long ago.

    Lamin Barrow (LB): "B- Not the best available linebacker but neither the worst available has good tangibles and a higher ceiling."
    Actual Grade: F. Bust. Long out of the league.

    Matthew Paradis (C): "C- Was a reach, considered a 7th Round/UDFA Prospect, with Tyler Larsen, Gabe Ikard and others still available was neither a solid pick or a value pick but a reach for a player with a limited ceiling."
    Actual Grade: A+ Paradis developed into one of the top Cs in the league and played out his contract. Paradis signed a 3 year, $29,030,000 deal with the Panthers. Elway let him walk, but that was on Elway, not due to Paradis' play.

    Ironic that the least valued player was far and away the best!

    Corey Nelson (LB): "D- A bit of a reach for someone who's best attributes are simply raw athleticism and aggressiveness, has durability concerns, a true outside linebacker who looks to make minimal impact, most believed he would go undrafted and with better prospects still available lowers the grade even more."
    Actual Grade: B. Nelson became a valuable special teams contributor and #3 ILB. He never was a consistent starter, but for a late round pick, he did pretty good and he's still in the league with Tampa on an $800k deal.

    Kapri Bibbs (RB): Gone, baby gone. Actual grade: F. He had 100 yards rushing for the Giants backing up Adrian Peterson.

    So the morale to the story is; you can find All-PFF Centers in the scrub rounds.

    Booing the commissioner continues to be the most stupid thing about the draft.

    I’m all for a good boo but the hate for Goodell is out of control, people forget what a shitshow NFL was before his tenure ... he’s what this league needed.

    I agree. I think he’s been a good commissioner.

    He has some bad moments but not to the level of this nonsense every draft.
