BRONCOS AND BREWS – Denver Broncos – Beer

2009 Bronco Draft

I was a little surprised when the Broncos took  a running back as their first pick in the draft, I thought they would go more for Linebackers and Defensive front three.  I think the biggest surprises to me were Alphanso Smith a CB and S Darcel McBath. The broncos seem to address the defensive backfield in the off season, with the addition of Brian Hawkins( I think this is awesome addition, his intensity and love for the game are second to none) and CB Andre’ Goodman from the Dolphins.

You just never know what is going to happen on draft day. Hopefully they did enough in the draft and free agency to fill the holes.

What are your thoughts on draft day for the Broncos, let me know!

Here is the official 2009 draft list

Round 1, Pick 12 (12) – RB Knowshon Moreno, Georgia

Who will the Broncos draft?

Will the Broncos take a quarterback or Defensive lineman with their first pick of the draft?

My thoughts are that they should go after Mike Sanchez. They can get a franchise quarterback and let him develop behind some veterans his first year. Josh has created some excellent QB’s, and will do the same here.

The Broncos have done alot in the off season to address the defense. I think Brian Dawkins was the best addition, his fiery personality and love for the game will bring alot of emotion to the locker room.
