NFL Draft Countdown Grades Denver

Scott Wright the President of NFL Draft Countdown has reviewed the Denver Broncos 2008 Draft, here's an excerpt:

It's obviously still very early but this could be one of Denver's best Draft Day hauls in years. In fact, every one of their selections is probably capable of making a pro roster and contributing in one form or another. Not only did Denver address their greatest need (left tackle) and land prospects who are a perfect fit for their system but they got good value throughout the draft and it even looks like they might have hit on a couple of late rounders. Denver is going to be an interesting team to watch in 2008 and while it's hard to envision them overtaking San Diego in the AFC West they could certainly compete for a Wild Card spot and maybe even make some noise in the playoffs. This draft class doesn't offer a lot of flash and Clady is the only sure-fire rookie starter but the long-term prognosis looks bright.

DeSean Jackson, Eddie Royal and decisions

I'll admit it, I was fighting mad, hoping that the Broncos drafted DeSean Jackson. When he was available still in the 2nd Round I thought we were retarded for not taking him. Anyway, shortly after the draft Shanahan commented directly on why we didn't draft DeSean, but did not give details.

I guess this is why...

Only time will tell if we made the right decision with Eddie Royal. As of right now, Royal's looking like he's one of Jay Cutler's favorite targets. I'm going to go ahead and predict that Royal will become the number 3 (receiver) in Denver if Brandon Stokley goes down for whatever reason.

Speaking of predictions, I'm sorry that I've been slow on the updates. I am moving and promise to be better. We've got a lot planned for the upcoming weeks, so stay tuned and I promise that you will not be disappointed.
