Remember when McD got run out of Denver and one of the things he was criticized for was his terrible drafts.  Well it's true that his 2009 draft still leaves a lot to be desired (Moreno and Ayers never lived up to their 1st round billing), but his 2010 draft has turned out to be pretty good.  Consider the Broncos added Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Zane Beadles and J.D. Walton. 

Thomas and Beadles are pro bowlers, Decker looks like he could be a pro bowler at some point as well and Walton is a solid starter.  Yeah the Tebow pick was bad and I don't think he was a great coach, but all things considered that was a pretty dam good haul.  It looks like at least one writer in Denver has noticed:

thank you Mr. Obvious 

You're right.  Remember when you all thought McCourty was going to less than suck  ater his rookie year.  And it turns out he sucks to more than sucks. 

BB's McCourty plan. Step one:Have really bad pass D for 2 years with him as the 'best' corner. Step two: Move hime to safety to hide his inability to play man, but still have terrible pass D. Step Three: Cut him during his rookie contract like Brandon et al.

He also fleeced the bejesus out of Jerry Angelo before that draft knowing it was deep. He took him to the cleaners on Cutler for 2 1sts, a 3rd and Orton. Fleece job deluxe.

Tebow was nothing more than a luxury pick.

McDaniels was run out of town by morons, mainly John Elway.  

McDaniels looks like Bobby Beathard as compared to what MIke Shanahan's and his moves as GM.

Let's not forget Rusty's proclamation that first round busts Hightower & Jones would easily replace the production of Carter & Anderson.  How'd that work out?

Why would I ever saw a rookie MLB would "easily replace" Andre Carter's great 2011 season?  I never once said anything of the sort. It's so easy to tell when you lie.  You claim I say something I never did, which is 100% of the time. lmao

I think you'll find literally every Pats fan THRILLED with the steady progression of the rookie years of both Jones and Hightower, each with a good future here.

Hightower actually did have more impact than Mark Anderson, since he started.  You're a moron.

Before an ankle sprain, Jones was the runaway choice for DROY. 

How is Coples doing?  Enjoying the random garbage time sack at the end of the game for him? lmao

Who will play LB next to the fading David Harris next year?   ROb Ninkovich would the the best DE on your team tomorrow, and it's not debatable.

Keep trying, Phatty Virgin.

for the same reason u would say Darelle Revis is "overrated" and MccCourty is better-ur nuts!

You lying won't work. I said McCourty's rookie season blows away Revis's. I gave the reasons why as well. His stats are better and he started alongside 3 rookies when BB was rebuilding the D.  Revis meanwhile played with veterans.  McCourtys was more impressive and I saw no signs of McCourty needing double and triple coverage help over the top as WRs go streaking by either.

I also said I would not pay Revis that money and would be happier with McCourty getting the salary he gets and putting the remaining 14 million per year elsewhere. Yes. 

And yes, Revis is overrated.  Sitting out, playing half seasons, blowing out a leg and demanding top dollar every 2 years means he is overrated. His living off this self promotional movement, served up by Woody Johnson has now backfired.
