I was also confused because the Gerald Perry i was thinking of was a first basemen for the Braves. I looked on profootball reference and could not find a Gerald Perry

Be carefull you may throw up looking at the 88 draft.

Feel free to add almost every name from this upcoming draft as well, as Kreiger astutely pointed out in his RMN piece:

"They selected 15 players in the third round and later over the last two drafts. Just one - Quentin Griffin - has made an impact so far. They took four defensive linemen in 2003 alone. None has made an impact.

Just as they take chances on free agents with baggage, they take chances on draft choices with baggage - much of it medical - in search of the home run. Their 2001 draft, in which they started with Willie Middlebrooks and Paul Toviessi, is the best - maybe worst - example.

They are operating an old plan in a new age. Their chances for substantial improvement this season now seem to rest on a great draft. If you're going to bet on this, I suggest you get the historical odds."

Wow, not a single QB in the first round

DarkHorse · 03-23-2005, 04:44 PM

That draft actually produced some pretty damn good ball players.

In 88...the 88th pick was Green Bay Rollin Putzier NT Oregon ...

You know what this means....our TE is going to be the key to our defense.

2KBack · 03-23-2005, 04:49 PM

That tears it, time to switch Putz to NT, then offseason complete...well after we bring in Earl Boykins to play LB.

TUG · 03-23-2005, 04:51 PM

Maybe I need to go back and put Gaston Green on my all time Broncos List. (Pick number 14 LA Rams) Had some big runs one season. Didn't he replace Bobby Humphrey?

TUG · 03-23-2005, 04:54 PM

We had 5 players from the 88 first round roll through Denver. Too bad only one was worth much when he played here.

Ya he was signed as a backup. But Humphrey held out for more money. Once he decided to return Green was the starter and was kicking ass. He had some long runs and even made the pro bowl! After that he faded.

Here's one for you all! Butler By'Not'e

I loved Butler By'Not'e in college! He filled some pretty big shoes at OSU as Eddie George was his predecessor.

I did also. I was excited when he was drafted. Then the cornerback thing took place and it was over real fast.

Hogan11 · 03-23-2005, 05:53 PM

Chris Watson was one of the absolute worst players I've ever seen.

Denver traded him to Buffalo where he amazingly lasted past one season before they cut him......my guess is that he's now selling shoes.

He also was recommended by Kyle Shanahan.

Antilles · 03-23-2005, 06:41 PM

Gotta say the biggest, non-first round bust was Tonvassi. Bobby Humphrey gets an honorable mention, but loses out on the strength of his one solid season. Biggest first round bust? I still say Tommy Maddox, based solely on the draft position and the way it cheesed off Elway.

How about Carl Wafer?

watermock · 03-24-2005, 01:23 AM

That's all old news.

In less than a month we will get a whole new load of reaches, brittle twigs and headaches bestowed apon us. Once again we will see an UFA outshine several of our draft picks.

Wrong, he was traded to the Saints for their 1st round bust of a nose tackle...... The Name slips me. Anyway later that year Denver went to NO and lost 42-0 and Gregory got a sack.

Both players were cut at the end of the season.

We all know that the Fridge was Michael Dean's baby brother. I never heard they were related to Gerald the superfreak, though.

I try not to freak out as soon as we draft a guy, but the Toviessi pick was a total nightmare. The kid showed a lack of commitment in college and was vocal about his reluctance to play through injuries. People were projecting him in the 4th round and we trade up to grab him in round two. He gets to camp and establishes himself as a Jake from day one.

PRBronco · 03-24-2005, 07:31 AM

Hey, just a quick trip back to page 1 here, bryant mcneal was taken off our practice squad by tampa bay around the end of that season. They haven't signed him to a new contract yet, and it doesn't look like we're really interested.

The sad part about it is that one of the media outlets actually picked Chris Watson as the AFC's return specialist, as a rookie, on their preseason Pro-Bowl team.

Might have actually happened if Chris Watson didn't fumble everyother kick.
And it would have helped if he had been any good.
