Would it be safe to say that Clady is by far the best player Shanny ever drafted?

of the later years draft yes..

prior to that. Pryce, Wilson,Neil, TD, after about the year 2ooo not much to cheer about..

but the main thing that pisses me off about the Foster draft.
we took that worthless **** in the same draft as the most useless draft pick of all time. Terry Pierce. failing that epically in the top two rounds is damn near impossible and yet somehow we managed to do it.

ashely a great WR ahahahahahaha made some awesome catches but almost always out of bounds or in the end zone.. regular over the middle catches where he could be tackled or hit the dude had alligator arms..

he was a world beater in college, but he never played against a DB that was worth a crap in the WAC.. once he got into the pros all of sudden these guys were as good/fast as he was and it hurt when he got tackled..

I suspect he was living up to his name ashely..

might be decent in todays NFL where the WR can't be touched but back then not so much..

you are correct about foster and TP, infact that whole draft stunk

1 	20 	George Foster 	T 	Georgia
2 	51 	Terry Pierce 	LB 	Kansas State
4 	108 	Quentin Griffin 	RB 	Oklahoma
4 	114 	Nick Eason 	DT 	Clemson
4 	128 	Bryant McNeal 	DE 	Clemson
5 	157 	Ben Claxton 	C 	Mississippi
5 	158 	Adrian Madise 	WR 	Texas Christian
6 	194 	Aaron Hunt 	-- 	Texas Tech
7 	227 	Clint Mitchell 	DE 	Florida
7 	235 	Ahmaad Galloway 	RB 	Alabama

the only notable player in there was Q albeit a very short, pardon the pun career.. not sure anyone there ever played a meaning full down in regular season for us..

c'mon, 2006 and 2008 drafts were awesome. Whatever happened with Lichtensteiger anyways?

[baja]

The 2006 draft has to one of the best in Broncos history but 2008

[SleepingTiger]

any draft that you can pick up an all-pro and possibly an all decade/HOF player that wasnt a top ten pick, i say you have a very good draft. Besides, Royal is a good player, and Hillis made the Madden cover.

I think Royal would of blossomed had Shanny stayed with Denver. He made Deangelo Hall look foolish against the Raiders. He ran some incredible routes that game.

It was essentially all downhill after that game. Seriously, he peaked around week 10 of that year and has done next to nothing since.....aside from some special teams highlights. He was going to crap before Shanny left.

And McD managed to get career years out of every other Bronco WR when he was here (his only real positive when you think about it), so that doesn't exactly work in Royal's favor either.

He hasn't been much help to SD either.

[SleepingTiger]

I don't get it. Did Royal regress or did CB just found a way to cover him? or both. They guy doesn't seem to be the type that is lazy and doesn't work.

Before Clady got hurt he was by far the best pass blocker in the NFL when on a Sack/per play basis. I saw the dude turn premier rushers like Mario Williams in his prime into paddy cake playing dummies.

Eddie Royal? If they kept the same offense and shanny never got fired, Royal probably would've had spectacular years being thrown at by Cutler. Conversely, if Royal was kept around after Manning arrived, he'd be putting up great numbers as well.

Peyton hilllis was an excellent pickup, baller that also got hurt, unfortunately.

We had excellent drafts in Shanny's last 3 years here.

Not every receiver is meant to be run around on crossing routes getting 2 yard gains at a time.

Royal had excellent man beating skills, he would be incredible if he played for Manning's offense today.

Maybe, maybe not. That's a different argument than the one I was responding to above, which specifically talked about Shanny and Cutler staying. He was regressing long before Shanny and Cutler left, so I just don't see how he'd be lighting up the league if they were both still here.

DBs figured him out halfway through his rookie year. He never made the necessary adjustments to what they were doing to him from then on. didn't matter if it was Cutler or Orton throwing the ball and Shanny or McD calling the plays. He played in some very WR-friendly offenses, was the only one who seemed to struggle and never made the necessary adjustments. That's just how I see it.

Really? Jarvis Moss, Tim Crowder, Ryan Harris and Marcus Thomas were "excellent"

That was one of the worst drafts in Broncos recent history, especially when you consider Shanny traded up twice.

And his last draft, outside of Clady, was a failure. If the front office really thought Royal was worth something they would have kept him. He isn't. That leaves Hillis. Definitely a value pick, even if he doesn't do anything ever again, still more of a return for what you get on a 7th round pick. However every other pick is completely out of football.

2006: A+
2007: F+
2008: C-

Those aren't "excellent"

c'mon, Ryan Harris pick wasn't bad. The guy was a stud at RT only to see him have injury woes. You can't say it was a bad draft pick because the guy was a probowl player then dropped off because of injury. Marcus Thomas was a 4th rounder that stayed on the team for 5 seasons. I admit Moss and Crowder were bad picks. F+ is going to far. D+ is better. Anyways, outside the top 10 picks, that was a bad draft class with the exception of Staley and Beason.

2008, if they had a redraft knowing what they know today, Matt Ryan would be the 1st and Clady being the second. That by itself raised the Grade to B. Not only that, all the players in that draft are still in the NFL except for Jack Williams. I say B+

I could never figure out Crowder. He had five sacks his rookie year and looked really good. I remember he scored a TD against Pittsburgh. And then he was just cut and went to Tampa Bay. There must have been a story behind that.

He was the 12 pick of the draft you expect him to be a stud LT

Eddie Royal? If they kept the same offense and shanny never got fired, Royal probably would've had spectacular years being thrown at by Cutler. Conversely, if Royal was kept around after Manning arrived, he'd be putting up great numbers as well.

If, If, If There was nothing special about Royal except he had a great rookie season then nothing

Peyton hilllis was an excellent pickup, baller that also got hurt, unfortunately.

Hillis had what, 6 good game and then stupid set in.

We had excellent drafts in Shanny's last 3 years here.

This was not a great draft.

the 2006 DAFT class was full of head cases..

cutler until this year when he has to act like a human because of his girlfriend has been an ahole to his team mates, media and fans.. BTW his 84.6 QBR has pretty much been constant from day one.. 94 picks to 129 TDs not a good ratio at all..

BM the only guy in the NFL that had his own Permanent visitor pass for the NFL offices.. got kicked off of two different teams because he was a diva and his team mates wanted nothing to do with him..

TS a guy that has started 38 games in his 104 game career.. a lousy blocker and a whooping 21 TDs in those 104 games.

Doom now here is a player still not playing the run as well as he could be... Not worth the money he is making but still one of our best.. but as a 4th rounder he was not thought highly of by 32 other teams a total surprise for them all..


Hixon looking to be a good player for the Giants.. to bad someone in Broncos FO was stupid enough to allow him to leave. Not like we were overloaded with talent there..

Kuper another good choice but then in the 5th round a good find

SO we really got two players out of the 7 that were worth keeping..
IMO not close to being a GREAT draft, for that matter not even a good one.. good draft.. one full time starter ORG and a part time DE who is substituted out on running plays..


But I'm sure those that have been sucking on cutlets sac for year will disagree..

as for 2008 one starter out of nine picks.. not great either..

Yep Harris was a stud being rag dolled by good or better DE in pass rushes..
that guy that started but not always finished in the 42% of the games he could have played in in his career..

they knew he had back problems before he was drafted.. stupid Pick IMO.. as for the others.. ahahahahahahahaha
