First round for the Broncos.

Broncos ended up with 2 first round draft picks tonight. First one, not a big surprise. A lot of folks figured they would go with an inside linebacker, but apparently not. Broncos traded down twice, and ended up with Demaryius Thomas, see his draft report here. A big wide receiver to replace the one the Broncos just traded. Will he be as good as Marshall? Maybe, it's hard to tell if a rookie will be able to have the kind of impact that Marshall did. But the off the field issues aren't there with this guy, at least at the moment, so he seems like a good match.

But then, out of the blue, the Broncos come back and trade UP to get the 25th pick in the draft, from the Ravens, for none other than..... Tim Tebow???? Ummm, wait a minute. Didn't we take care of what we wanted at QB? Didn't we sure up our back up spot with Brady Quinn? I'm going to be honest, with the still very large need at line backer for the Broncos, this actually shocks me. We didn't need another back up quarterback, we needed somebody at ILB. Who knows, maybe the Broncos will get somebody in the second round, but this is still a pretty glaring need.

Just another move by the boy king that kind of defies logic. Why get a line backer that can come in in the first year and help make a difference on a defense that needs it when you can draft a QB with questionable mechanics that is definitely going to be on the bench for at least 1, maybe 2 years? I guess that's what makes the difference between me and most Broncos head coaches of late, only they can really understand the moves that they make.
