Anybody but a QB....

I changed opinions so many times about who we should take with the first overall pick ever since Andrew Luck decided to be a douche and return to Stanford, but my final opinion has been set and I do NOT want Gabbert or Newton. There are so many positives with Dareus, Green, and Peterson who are all x10 safer picks than either of the QBs.

Dareus: fills arguably the biggest need on the team, doesn't have the potential of Green or Peterson but he can be a top 10 DT for years to come which would be huge for us.

Peterson: I hear all this: "We need a QB since the NFC South is loaded with amazing QB's" well since Gabbert and Newton both may bust, Peterson would come in and give us the best corner duo in the south and give us the ability to shut down the Saints, Buccs, and Falcons for years to come.

Green: We all know, Smith is gettin old and Gettis and LaFell neither have potential to be a #1 WR, Green can though and instantly gives Clausen another weapon.

Please FO, no QB!

If Luck or even Bradford were around for this draft, I would say take them. But I just don't see anything improving by taking Cam Newton. I think he will be an epic bust at #1. Honestly, I put him right on par with The Golden Calf of Bristol. The Golden Calf of Bristol won a Heisman and National Title and ran all over the place in college. And he was a late first rounder, lucky at that.

I have no problem with Luck's decision, I wish him all the best as it's his life and his career.

I don't believe the nonsense that he went back to school just to spite us and personally think that line of thinking is just stupid.

However, I don't see a strong enough QB candidate in the class to take first overall. I think Gabbert is close, but something with him is missing and I can't quite put my finger on it.

and The Golden Calf of Bristol looked every bit as good as Bradford....

Not really....or anything close.

Both played in lousy divisions. The Golden Calf of Bristol saw much less action. In spite of the fact that he was not expected to be in Bradford's class, he ended up with a higher QB rating. QB rating doesn't tell the whole story, granted, but The Golden Calf of Bristol played well as a rookie.

All I know for sure is we would have been a better team last year, and would feel much better about the coming year, if we had either of them on the roster.

Actually, I watched quite a bit of both, they were comparable as college QB's, but nothing close as in terms of readiness for the NFL.

yeah, that is what the world said.....and that was probably true in regards to week 1 and the start of the year.

but when The Golden Calf of Bristol got on the field and started as a rookie.....Bradford wasn't better. Could easily argue The Golden Calf of Bristol was more impressive as he did more.

Sooo if he was so amazing why are there questions in Denver rather he will be the starter or not??

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
