That's the question, either Josh McDaniels will be the greatest coach of all time or he'll be kicked out of Denver in a straight jacket. I'm leaning toward the latter; because from a fantasy perspective, he's gone from Cutler, Marshall and Scheffler to Orton, Gaffney, and Graham.
Does anyone on this team excite you on draft day? Honestly, when I looked at the stats, Kyle Orton was a pleasant surprise. He threw for 3800 yards last year and had 21 Touchdowns - pretty good. Would I draft him? No, but he's a solid real quarterback. That's why he'll begin the season as the starter, but I'm thinking, after a rough opening schedule, Tebow is the QB after their Bye Week (ok, I just said that because we're contractually obligated to as a Christian podcast).
We won't even go into the receivers. Jabar Gaffney (yes, he is coming off his best year ever, but really?) is their #1 receiver right now. Probably their most exciting option is DeMaryius Thomas and he's never even caught a Kyle Orton lazer with fans in the stands. Daniel Graham, their tight end, probably won't be mentioned on many draft boards either.
So, that leaves their RB's! I've got to be honest, from a stats standpoint, Correl Buckhalter looks like the better back. Of course, that will not make a difference. Knowshon Moreno will get the most carries and he did have 1160 total yards last year with 9 TDs. But, the offensive line is banged up and Ryan Clady may be out at the start of the year. I still say he's a solid #2 back, but he doesn't do much to excite me. You might say I'm "No fan" of "No shon." (Came up with that myself).
Where does that leave you on draft day? Without a lot of Broncos. Maybe you take Matt Prater (19 of his last 20 in FGs). Of course, that's after you take TIM TEBOW.
NEWS AND NOTES
1) Cedric Benson is in trouble again - shocker! Keep an eye on Bernard Scott!
2) JaMarcus Russel is being looked at by the Jets. Who thought he'd get a job first? I don't think it's the Jets.
3) Will AP hold out? I don't think so, but why did the draft Gerhart and pick-up Moats?
4) Willie Colon is out for the season and Scott is banged up. Do you drop Mendenhall a few notches? I think so.
5) Sam Bradford said he will be signed by training camp. I love Sam Bradford!
