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 […]

The Denver Broncos draft Center Kory Lichtensteiger out of Bowling Green with the 9th pick in the 4th round of the 2008 NFL Draft.. Lichtensteiger started his career at Bowling Green as a guard and then shifted to the middle. He has been used mostly in a shotgun formation, and will probably be shifted back […]

Great news from Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan – first round choice OT Ryan Clady has already locked up the left tackle position. It’s his to lose. “He’ll start at left offensive tackle the day he comes in,” Mike Shanahan said Saturday. “Pretty simple, wasn’t it?” “The thing that impresses you is his feet.  […]

The Denver Broncos have made their second selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. With the 11th pick in the 2nd round (42nd overall), Denver selected wide receiver Eddie Royal out of Virginia Tech. At 5’10”, 182 lbs., Royal is as small as they come in the NFL, yet he posted some of the best numbers […]
