Two new young bucks!

Didn't take long

So did we get our Cutler Worth in the trade now that the draft has pased and it is no longer Orton and draft picks. Here’s a nice photo of Jay out messing up his sugar levels on a 3 night bender, all there is to do in the Windy City, guess he likes tight ends- that wasn’t a promiscuous joke, Greg Olsen is his new TE.

So now the 2009 Draft has concluded and the picks are in. What do you feel people, does anyone understand where Josh McDaniels is headed? So the offensive coach came out swinging blind-siding most with the first pick being a RB, although we were beat up badly last season the old philosophy was we could always produce a RB. The needs were centered around defense and a big question in the QB slot wondering when there will be a young name brought in. What are the reactions in Denver Fans? Tell me what you thought about the draft!

With an already stunning off-season, where will it start to turn toward some sense of sanity and cohesion. Most Broncos fans have let the Shanahan/Cutler decisions pass like last seasons list of healthy backs, we just have to take it in stride and wait to google a name we arn’t familiar with.

So McDaniels is on the hot seat and combined with some early head turning cuts and moves how will he begin to reveal his “master plan”? What will it be?

Last years offense was amazing in the air and flat on the ground, our defense could not get pressure on the softest of lines and our secondary remained injury plagued and lack luster, where does this staff start.

It is indeed a rebuilding year and we have a lot of issues and positions of need. Orton and Simms are a mook point not the future, will they consider a QB move, we thought we had our new cocky Elway in number 6 but moving forward. Our Defensive line has to come early in addressing our more pressing needs, then do we focus and rebuild our once proud defense and go heavy with LB, CB and S spots or should we balance and think about OL and RB and go for an overall youth movement.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out later today…Stay tuned and enjoy the McDaniels youth movement. Go Broncos!

After the busiest off season in recent history the Denver Broncos have started thier first mini-camp and are ready for the upcoming draft this weekend. Although this team resembles an expansion team more than the Denver Broncos we know from last year which is bitter sweet for most. New coaching staff, a QB controversy, dismantled lines and uncertain futures at stake, this is going to be a busy summer. After re-locating to the Pacific Northwest I have been silent since the end of the season because frankly I had to take a long look at this organization and say can I deal with all that’s going on or do I need to go get a TJ Houshmandzadeh Seahawks jersy? Well loyalty steps in and my good sense says if we rebuild it they will come, but I was also easily influenced by cinema as a kid.

Get ready for the debut of Coach Josh McDaniels “rough draft” on Sat. Game on!
