Thoughts of a Broncos Fan

If Shanahan and Allen draft for "need" I'll be satisfied. We see players all the time coming out of the draft with crazy talent going to teams all because we want to draft "character" guys. As long as they are not out trying to "make it rain", getting involved in a murder plot, constantly getting caught using drugs, or a "major" locker room cancer I'll be satisfied. Clarett was an idiot, all the talent in the world and throws it away.

I guess the latest word is Houston might be interested in Rick Dennison as their OC, we can't offer him that.

Good read Davy. Insightful stuff on Shanahan.

Really good read Davy. Thanks for re-posting. I handn't really thought about Okung not being a good fit here. At this point, my preference is to trade down in the first, pick up extra picks, and draft the best 2 zoneblocking linemen in the draft at the "appropriate" slots.

Sure we can. Since it seems we're back in "crazy title mode," Kyle Shanahan could be assistant head coach - offense and Dennison could be offensive coordinator.

Grey will probably also be retained with the title, Assistant Head Coach - Defensive Backs or even Assistant Head Coach - DeAngelo Hall if Shanahan wants to bring in another DB coach.

This was a good read. It seems that there are some good OT prospects in this year's draft. Jason Fox of Miami is another player who comes to mind. To me, he looks like he could be a good fit in Shanny's system.I think that's who WalterFootball projected as our 2nd rounder.

I meant more in terms of Dennison calling plays here

I was half-joking. I'm assuming Kyle will be calling the plays here? I've read Shanahan didn't call plays in Denver.

one other thought/question... are smaller, more athletic linemen, zoneblocking linemen generally easier to find in the lower rounds of the draft? it would seem comparatively few teams use zoneblocking schemes, and zoneblocking linemen are generally to small for manblocking schemes, therefore they should be easier to find on the cheap. If that line of thinking is accurate, then we're in a much better position to address our depleted line.

we could do offensive line/ assistant head coach title... We will get the coaches that we target, don't worry. We have the money and talent.

Half right.

That 2006 draft for the Broncos is better than any the Skins have had in recent memory. One draft like that would make us contenders again.
