Denver Broncos Drafted Poorly? Nope

Say hello to our future quarterback Tom Brandstater. Maybe McDaniels thought if he drafted a guy name Tom then he'll turn out to be like Tom Brady (who was drafted in the 6th round). Ill put some facts out there for some people who dont know this person.

A 6'5" 220-pound quarterback out of Fresno State. Played all 4 years in college. Started to play in his Sophomore year having 1,490 passing yards, 13 passing touchdowns and 14 interceptions. His Junior year was a bit better having 2,654 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns and only 5 interceptions.

His Senior year was to go out there and prove hes a 1st rounder or 2nd rounder but instead struggled... throwing 2,664 yards, 18 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions.... sound a bit familiar kind of?

Round 7, Pick 16 - Blake Schlueter C

Last and final pick ends up being another offensive lineman. Blake can bring more competition for a possible starting job next year, this guy is a pear football player, simple as that.

Now, I bet a lot of you are very disappointed in this year's draft considering they did not go after the defensive line or linebacking corp at all except grabbing Ayers in the first round. Saying Mc"....." is the worst coach ever and blah blah blah. Well in case you didnt notice, this guy KNOWS what he is doing, trust me.

I've commented on alot of peoples mock draft's and so on that Denver does not need to go after a linebacker, which i was right that they didnt go after one.

Simply because they have way to much depth at the inside and outside linebacker positions right now, and they are all very talented as well.

I was hoping Denver would have at least get 2 defensive ends during the draft, Robert Ayers is like a Darrell Ried, playing defensive end and outside linebacker which is fearly good, and having Kenny Peterson who I believe can be a potential starter.

I have 100% full trust in the Denver Bronco organization and if this is what they believe to have on there roster, then so be it.

I grade this draft a B because they did an excellent job filling in needs in game situations, not because they were adding depth. I will be very disappointed if anyone says this is the worst draft ever or doubtful comments like that.
