Knowshon Answers Denver's Call

It's a great situation for Knowshon. A quality franchise that respects players with Knowshon's ability and approach to the game. The media aggressively covers the team, but they're not totally unforgiving like the NY or Philly press. In other words, he can keep them at arms length without ever giving much of a quote, and they won't hold as much of a grudge.

Without Cutler, they are going to build the entire offense around Moreno. The only downside for KM being a jersey number change because Champ Bailey already has #24.

The Broncos on the other hand had bigger problems than running back. It's a good pick, but they'll need to continue to draft more guys like Ayers, Smith and McBath and less back-up Tight Ends who only caught 12 passes in college to remake the franchise.

Elsewhere:
Massaquoi went #50 to the Cleveland Browns who took another WR earlier in the draft. I feel bad for Mo Mass. A team that's going no where picks two WRs in the first two rounds.

Open Thread for the rest of the Draft:
Feel free to comment on the Falcons or Dawgs on this post the rest of the day about the draft. I'm out BBQ'ing today.
