So, I’ve read up on the Bronco’s 2008 draft – which finished up a couple of hours before I rolled back into Knoxville from my family camping trip this weekend. I’ll start off by saying, ‘thank you’ to all of our friends and supporters here at BroncoTalk for your feedback and participation throughout the draft […]

We’ve just caught wind of an unconfirmed report that the Denver Broncos have already made a splash in the undrafted free agent market. The Broncos reportedly signed University of Houston running back Anthony Alridge, according to this Houston Chronicle blog. The report seems legitimate, as the author says he spoke to Alridge and quotes him […]

The 2008 NFL Draft is in the books – and the Denver Broncos came away with nine players. They addressed offense with their first three selections, then selected defensive players with four of the remaining six picks. 1. (12) OT Ryan Clady, Boise St 2. (42) WR Eddie Royal, Virginia Tech 4. (108) C Kory […]

The Denver Broncos sent their final card to the podium at the 2008 NFL Draft knowing that they were addressing one of the most underappreciated positions in the NFL. Fitting, isn’t it? Fullback Peyton Hillis, the lead blocker for 2008 first round running backs Darren McFadden and Felix Jones, was selected as the Broncos’ final […]

The Denver Broncos have selected safety Josh Barrett in the 7th round of the 2008 NFL Draft. The prospect (6-2, 223) out of Arizona St. was projected to be a 2nd or 3rd round pick by many draft analysts. He had an underwhelming senior campaign, but he has all the physical tools that could help […]

The Denver Broncos started out the draft by addressing the offense with 3 consecutive picks. Now, 3 of the past 4 have fallen on the defensive side of the ball, as the Broncos added linebacker Spencer Larsen to their depth. Larsen was the “heart and soul” of the Arizona defense, and has a lot of […]
A 6’3″ 300 pounder out of Virginia Tech, Carlton is a run-stopper who was projected for late 4th round; so at the middle of the 5th round, we may have gotten great value here. He needs to work on his technique and he is a mediocre, at best, pass-rusher so he is the sort who […]
Ryan Torain played at Arizona state. He is not an outside runner, but he excels between the tackles. He’s mediocre at best in receiving, but he is exactly the kind of runner that we need to pair with Selvin Young: Tough, between the tackles. He compares favorable to Mike Anderson, who we all know had […]

The Denver Broncos select defensive back Jack Williams in the 4th round of the NFL draft (119th overall). Williams hails from Kent St. and grades as a nickel or dime cornerback. Read more on Williams here. So far today we’ve taken OG and CB… interesting choices. I still expect the Broncos to take a RB […]

UPDATE – The live blog is up! After some technical difficulties, we’re hoping we’ve gotten them all straightened out for what should be an interesting day two of the draft. The 4th round is underway, and the Broncos have already made their first pick – OG Kory Lichtensteiger. Talk about it here, and we hope […]
