Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

With the 17th pick in the 2007 Draft had the Broncos selected JON BEASON 278 tackles 4 picks (2 SEASONS) for Carolina, instead of Jarvis Moss. We would have a franchise MLB, wouldn't have wasted money on Moss, Koutivides, Webster, etc.....
With the 56th pick we draft SABBY PISCETELLI 48 tackles 1ff 1 int - 2008 for TB instead of Crowder, we would have our game changing Safety.
I wanted Reggie Nelson and still do... I am still ticked about that. I thought we were trading up to grab him and was thinking why is jags trading with us they need a safety...
These are examples of our failures drafting defensive players. I really liked Beason and Piscitelli coming out of college. Fortunately they have gotten the offensive picks right.
not only that...but we could have drafted marion barber or brandon jacobs instead of maurice clarrett...or we could have pulled the trigger on the deal wth baltimore to trade up and take ed reed...or could have drafted greg jennings instead of trading for walker....or drafted marquis colston instead of domenik hixon.....we could do this all day...its pointless to do this...just makes you feel sick
We all know it's easy to rethink and improve the 2007 Draft nowadays. But nothing changes the fact that Jarvis Moss was an awful pick, there were much better players avaiable.
What makes the Jarvis Moss pick so frustrating was that we traded a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick to move up a few slots and draft him when we didn't need to.
And remember, at the time, Jim Bates had hand-picked Moss to play his Elephant position, which is similar to a 3-4 OLB. And then.....we canned Bates' scheme 5 games into the season because our players were too dumb to pick it up.

Agreed. Good post.
Most scouts had Moss pegged between 17-25 in the draft. We traded a third round pick to move up four slots to get him. Ahead or four other teams that would not have taken him. I didn't have any problems with the player but I think you have a good point on the price we paid by moving up. We either could have had him at 21 or taken someone else.
I can't believe anyone saw the NC game and thought he would be a bust. He absolutately dominated that game. There were many other signs that he might be a problem (size, position, other game history) but not the NC game.
