well..wow! it what is surely the most talked about Broncos draft in a LONG LONG time..Thursday night the blue and orange took Florida QB Tim Tebow in the first round..after taking a stud wide receiver before that. So Josh McDaniels continues to remake the team--getting rid of Jay Cutler, Brandon Marshall and Tony Schefler. All big talents...all big whiners.
Clearly McDaniels and the Broncos are pursuing a different type of player. But pause for a moment. Now we have Orton, the newly acquired Brady Quinn and Tim Tebow at the helm. Despite some decent numbers, Orton is less than inspiring. Quinn in unproven. and Tebow..well never has a QB so polarized the draftniks!
I am a little uncomfortable with the biblical references Tebow shows us in his eye glare paint,but there is no question the kid is a winner and a worker. Because there was soooo much consternation about his "throwing motion" and his arm strength, no doubt he will carry that on a BIG chip on his shoulder when he shows up at Dove Valley.
So what did we get with Tebow? National champion...Heisman winner...big time college QB..good character guy..leader and someone who will outwork anyone next to him. And..I was worried why? Only time will tell..but on the surface, I am beginning to like this pick.
