Broncos draft a quarterback

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
How strange it will be for the Broncos with Kyle Orton at quarterback. It will take a while to wash away the stain of Jay Cutler. First they tried to get another quarterback from anyone and then they drafted a running back in Knowshon Moreno to help the running game.

Then with the first pick they took Tom Brandstater, a quarterback from Fresno State.

That would be the first pick of the 6th round.

Brandstater said he had some contact with the Broncos but didn’t necessarily expect to be picked by Denver.

“I thought I had a pretty good connection with them, but the draft is so hard to know, who’s interested and who’s not,” Brandstater said.

Brandstater thought all along that Denver would be among his favorites.

“The last two quarterbacks that Coach McDaniels has had were Tom Brady and Matt Cassel,” Brandstater said. “I think my measurables are similar to theirs.

Good luck on those measurables translating into being as good as Matt Cassel and we won’t even go to the Tom Brady thing.

Denver needs to move past Jay Cutler

The odd thing is that Kyle Orton won more games than Jay Cutler and here is where it gets tricky. In Chicago the defense won games and it was Kyle’s job not to lose them. In Denver, last year, the offense won games and the defense was pathetic.

Here is hoping that Denver improved their defense or all the fans will complain that Cutler is gone!
