The Denver Broncos have traded defensive back Alphonso Smith to the Detroit Lions for tight end Dan Gronkowski.

Smith was at the bottom of Denver's depth chart in the secondary, having failed to live up to the promise he showed as a standout at Wake Forest.

The Broncos traded up in the second round of the 2009 draft to select Smith, dealing their 2010 first round pick (which became the 14th overall selection) to the Seattle Seahawks in the process.

Gronkowski was picked in the seventh round of the 2009 draft by the Lions. Gronkowski played in just two games last year, making one reception for four yards.

    • I read the entire article.   Seam routes are great against a single high safety because they have to make a decision.  They can be high risk, high reward play but they are a staple in nearly every NFL game.  Just because they are tight windows doesn't make them hospital balls. The biggest takeaway from that whole article was this is football.  You're going to get hit.  You can get lit up on any play.  QB tries the best he can to judge the distance but the structure of the play is going to get you hit and that safety can run down hill.   Here is one to Sanders, from the same game, who slows down slightly and puts himself in a better position to make the catch without getting lit up.  Hunter ran full tilt and jumped.  No fear running that route which is what Grok recommends.      
    • Wanted to give a quick shout out to those of y'all participating in the discussion in good faith. It's been a nice change of pace for some of us fans to combine our knowledge and try to figure things out rather than just looking for a scapegoat to blow off some steam. ♡
    • You don't throw high over the middle, unless your Bryce then it's okay and it's the recievers fault. Plus Sanders is 6'4" 250 and Renfrow is 5'10" 180
