The Broncos got a lot of picks but probably got screwed. They should've just stuck with Cutler - he'd have to come back to camp eventually. Now ppl think they'll have to bundle picks to try to grab Sanchez early.. and then end up just where they started, but with a rookie QB and no first rounder to use on their horrible defense.

Well, either way -- now we have all our picks. I'm hoping for an OT, and if JC still has trouble this year, we can try to give Colt a chance, and then draft one of the 3-5 QB's next year. Guess the mock drafts just changed a little bit.

Thats exactly what Denver thought. If Campbell had to be part of the deal that was going to make it a tough sell. I was on the fence about this deal in that I am sure Cutler was going to be an upgrade but not really the franchise QB some think. With Campbell at the helm it will be another year of sputtering offense and less that 20ppg.

Can we all at least agree that Lil' Danny's line about "learning patience from Coach Gibbs" is complete nonsense now?

They had to know that this was really a huge gamble. If the trade didn't go through you have to come crawling back -- is this something Gibbs would have done? I don't think so.

I don't really know where that came from anyways. During the Gibbs years we had more turnover of the roster and acquisition misses (Brunell, Archuleta, Lloyd to name a few) than we did since 2000. I've said before and will say again, the Gibbs 2.0 era set our franchise back 8-10 years (the 4 years he was here and the 4 it will take to revise our roster) and we're still trying to recover from it.
