Interesting news since last:
From Mike Klis:
"No shock: Broncos HC Gary Kubiak said DL coach Bill Kollar has been banging doors for 6 weeks for team to draft DL Adam Gotsis. #9sports"
"Elway indicated because he had last pick in each round he had to overdraft Gotsis and Simmons by a rnd. Gotsis gone end of 3rd. #9sports"
From D-Mac (104.3):
"The potential is silly and kollar loves him. Good enough for me"
"McShay said Broncos had a great night. Kiper said Simmons might be best pick in the 3rd round. Nice work John"
So, it seems Denver may have reached a bit with Gotsis, but the feeling was he wouldn't be there at the bottom of the 3rd. Even if he was, Denver then wouldn't have been able to draft Simmons, who is getting all kinds of love as s great pick. In fact, some people even thought the two picks could have been reversed.
Bottom line for me? The Broncos got the guys they wanted...specifically Kollar in Gotsis. Plus, both guys fill a need as well. We'll see what today brings, but at the end of the day, I'm trusting Elway. Hell, I've been doing that for over 30 years!
