Personally, I’m glad Barrett is finally getting back on the field for us. Time to see what these young guys can do. We already know what M & M can (or can’t) do. As far as the D goes, get some guys in there that play with some passion. There’s only one way to find out if they can play, get their butts in there. Problem with this D was, and is, that we need playmakers.

Barrett was dominant at times for the Sun Devils but yes people have questioned his heart. I would think though that the way our rookies have played would inspire anybody to come with “it”. Plus this isn’t college and this isn’t ASU. As for MM and MM, a like McCree a lot better than Manuel. Manuel takes such bad angles, looks slow, and misses open field tackles. Lowry usually tackles opponents but gets dragged for four yards further in the process. A play making safety is definitely our biggest need followed by D-Line and more depth across the whole defense. Also dependy on how Lichtensteiger or however you spell his name is panning out at center we need to address interior O line as well because Tommy is probably done and Casey is nearing the end.

I like the move. I agree manuel and lowry are not the answers we want at the safety position. Because of the lack of talent at the safety position this is a good opportunity to see what he can do. Barrett was projected to go earlier in the draft but had some question marks about his motivation. If he can hop on board with the rest of our rookies he might fit in great. C jackson has talent. Its worth a shot to see if he can solve our issues at depth for our WR. He is still young and with some grooming he might workout great. Worth a shot.

Yea Marv, we heard, but let’s keep this about Broncos. Kerry, people are excited because we have players like McCree and Manuel. Jackson could end up being a good signing for special teams or as a forth reciever. Maybe, they were concerned about the WR’s ability to stay healthy, thats why they added depth.

Don’t pop off and start crying about depth and needing other positions. When we signed him D-Jax was out with an injury and Stokely had just been knocked out with a concussion. At that point, WR was a position of concern. Safety has been a concern all year. I have a feeling that they drafted this kid with the thought that he would have a year of mentoring from Lynch.

When that obviously didn’t work out, they were forced to make due with a pair of players that they would have rather had sharing time. Granted, I think this move should have been made sooner, but really, what’s the kid going to do? Allow passes by him? Miss tackles? Play out of position? over pursue? Take bad angles toward the ball carrier? Use poor mechanics? Oh wait, our current safeties already do that. Oh, and kerry? Go get a hug.

Wow Kerry maybe you should be on eharmony instead of here, sounds like you need a hug. C. Jackson is going to spend the rest of the year learning how to run routes and be a pro.

And by your logic Kerry we should also hold Shanahan “accountable” for the best draft classes in both 2006 and 2008.

what happened to Chad Jackson?? great question! because according to everyone who posts here he was supposed to be so good and make such a difference because he ran a 4.2 at the combine. kind of like Barrett and his 4.35. i guess because a guy can run fast in a straight line he is supposed to be so amazing. one guy even said we should draft a DT because he is MEAN. imagine if we drafted a mean guy who ran fast! that would be the ultimate weapon according to the lapdog press of the Broncos. but hey Shanahan did it so i guess that means the move is great. because according to everyone here, Shanahan is infalible. will someone just step up and hold Shanahan accountable for his bad decisions!? Chad Jackson? he was signed for what? to make sure nobody comes along to steal the bench? Ryan Torain? EVERY scout said he was injury prone, and right on cue Shanahan drafts him and he gets injured. TWICE! Maurice Clarett was a bum, every scout said he was a bum, and what does the genius do?? drafts him with Marion Barber and Brandon Jacobs still on the board. cast off the shackles people! be a Broncos fan but also be able to hold the coach accountable. Shanahan could step on a beetle on the sidelines and all of you would wanna throw him a parade for it.
