I really want to hear people back this **** up.

When I went to work this morning, the Broncos had four first day picks and a potential to get some players that could help them out immediately. When I got home from work today, the Broncos had traded up to draft a position of non need already filled by a pro-bowler and had traded away two of their four picks. They ended up with Jay Cutler and a tight end whose main selling point is "he's a lot like Jeb Putzier." Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't we already have Putzier on our roster? Not only that, Leonard Pope, a tight end who is by any objective measure much better was still on the board.

We sit here, and the Broncos haven't addressed their glaring holes on the defensive line and backfield. They passed on LenDale White to trade for a receiver who has had one good season and is coming off of an injury. It's idiotic. It makes no sense whatsoever.

All Shanahan managed to do today was take the slats out from underneath BOTH Jake Plummer and Ashley Lelie as well as manage not to improve the team at all.

Instead of walking away with players that can make an impact, we walked away with a tight end and some guy who's going to get paid a premium to sit on the bench for two seasons.

I get the impression Shanahan took Cutler so he can shirk the blame onto Plummer as soon as possible. But, I'm sure you people will let him do it."

I'm convinced he's a chefs fan in disguise.

You can make an argument that when you are as close as the mules are you go for it.

Cutler won't help this year so in a way I see this dude's point. Bunkley would have been a real nice fit lining up next to Warren IMO.

But personally I have always been of the opinion that when drafting you take the best player available. If not you will get yourself into trouble real quick.

Let Cutler chill out on the bench for a few years then he will be ready to take over and from what I've seen he fits our system pretty well.

I like the move and I like your draft.

Sucks but it's the truth.

I had my eye on both Dumervil and Eslinger for us in the later rounds and the mules got both.

I also think that even though Huff will be a player for us Raiderfans will live to regret passing on Leinart a few years down the road.

While the whole rant is stupid, this line takes the cake. Take the slats out from underneath Lelie? Really? The guy who won't show up for offseason workouts and has asked to be traded?

Seriously, writing something like that is just embarrassing.
