    HAD to? No, but, while the draft's a crap shoot in all rounds, the odds of top players are self-evidently and disproportionately best in early rounds. Until now, Sambrailo was our only second rounder since Franklin (a late second at that.) Beadles was a second rounder the year before but, before that we took no linemen early since George Foster with #20 overall pick of 2003.

    Yes, Foster sucked hard (so was replaced with 3rd round pick and recent SB Champ Ryan Harris a few years later) and Beadles was a scrub SB liability for whom Jax overpaid—but expecting anything BETTER from LATER picks like Sambrailo (to say nothing of a late 3rd rounder like Schofield) was foolish at best and delusional at worst. Blame the coaches if we must, but guys who can't "coach up" 1st and 2nd rounders will do no better with 3rd and 5th rounders.

    It's funny to continue debating this in the context of whether last years 1st round pick or the previous years 7th round pick is our Franchise QB; who said the starting QBs "had to be first rounders"? Pretty much every starting QB for the last 30 years except Brady and Romo—but any random waiver wire reject can protect them?

    Oh, valid point. I thought you meant all starters, you should take the time to be more descriptive, don't be shy. Jaded

    I hope one of them is good enough so the line doesn't matter. That's probably not going to happen, but I'm going to hope.

    I'm rooting for both as well as Kelly. We just need 1 of the 3 to be good, don't really care much which one. It would be nice to see it be Lynch with what we invested in him, but I'm a little more worried that all 3 will suck. If any one of them can be the long term answer I'll be content.

    I agree with you.......hard to believe we're rooting for Chad Kelly, huh?

    I'm rooting for a good quarterback. I really don't care who it is.

    It's really hard. I probably hated him as much as if not more than any college player I've ever watched. And it's just an extra gut punch that we could have had Dak last year. At the end of the day though, what's best for the Broncos trumps all.

    What is it about Kelly that he has so much hype?

    I have seen some give him a first or second round grade. I only looked at stats but his stats really didn't say first round to me?

    Good junior year but kinda average senior year.

    Chad Kelly had highest score for any quarterback tested by Sport Science

    I'm rooting for the Broncos. The rest is secondary.
