Shanahan coached the Broncos in the 2008-2009 season, Ryan Clady was drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft and played his first season in the '08-'09 season. So yes, however unlikely, it is possible for Mike Shanahan to draft a first-round Tackle.

Yeah just saw that. Sorry 53. Shanahan was fired Dec. 08 which means he did draft Clady.

No problem. I understand Shanahan has a great blocking scheme and does a fine job with later round picks, I don't question that. But 1 or 2 great players on an o-line can make all the difference in the world. He saw how good a LT Clady was and took him....he was worth a first round pick. Even Shanahan thought so. I get a little nervous and breakout in sweat when people talk about only taking o-linemen in the later rounds. It sounds eerily familiar.

I get nervous at the fact that we don't have a freaking starting Left Tackle! LOL.

At this point, I don't know if I'd want the QB job.
