Same here. We needed safeties and this class only had 2 that I really liked, and we got them both.

Yea!! But still no stud DT's

The one player I wanted Broncos to draft other then Kyle Rudolph. I still say when its said and done Rudolph will be in the top 5 of all players in this draft. His hands are huge. Moore though i watched live twice. This kid can cover some ground, and at UCLA senior yr he really had to because the front 7 stunk. A lot of people complained the highlight reel showed him making tackles down the field. Well he had to a lot his SR yr because all teams did was run free on UCLA. But his JR yr he was playing centerfield, covering tons of ground, and making plays on the ball.

He's not like Dennis Smith, or Atwater. His style is not to jar the ball loose. Its much more a CB style of agility, leaping ability, and body control that allow him to make plays on the ball. Perfect for the NFL no helmet to helmet rules.

I'm going out on a limb and predicting he snags at least 5 picks this yr. Also I predict he will be one our best rookies, maybe even make more plays then miller.

There are some servicable DT being let go, a few starters still on market. Elway I think just trying to find one who wants to play in Denver. I heard some of them won't even come for a visit. Broncos defense not really like a cute girl right now. It's more like a grenade you have to jump on for a friend. I'm really happy with how they drafted actually. I feel like they could have taken Dareus, but after that they took guys who can start and are at positions of need.

Servicable hasn't done it for this team it's time they get some stud talented DT's on this team

I'm liking the new CBA. All the top picks are signing much faster. Usually it goes backwards from 7 to 1st.

I agree but we may not solve everything in one yr. Even Mebane or Jenkins probably won't fix all our problems inside. I agree though we really need to sign someone. I still have faith though Elway and Xanders will get something done.

Moore will have to work on his conditioning. He had a tad to much body fat at combine. He plays faster then he runs a 40, but his thing is more leaping ability then speed. He played track growing up around so calif. He's not physical at the LOS and IMO won't look good playing in the BOX. That should still be Dawkins, or hopefully Carter.

He's not very good at man to man. I see Broncos playing Moore a lot in a zone where he can use his ball hawking skills to make plays. I'm not saying he's Ed Reed, But I think he adds something on the back end we didn't have last couple yrs.
