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.

I would consider him at 2(a) depending on how the draft goes, but I am sure that another need will be there (Martez or Paea maybe). IF, Rudolph is available at 2b - I think he may be the best player on the board (safety, ol, and running back are more likely scenarios though).
Fox likes run blockers who have steady hands. That's the profile of a mid-late rounder.
I'd pass on Rudolph because: a) he has injury concerns, b) there are a number of other areas where we could better spend a 2nd round pick and c) Notre Dame is overrated trash...
Although Fox may not be known for going after the highly valued TEs, there's two things to keep in mind
1) In Fox's history at Carolina, did he ever have a TE roster as poor as the one we have right now?
2) There's often nothing more helpful to a young QB then a good TE
Although I think we can assume Fox isn't the type of person to normally pursue TEs aggressively, this is really quite a different scenario.
Particulary #2, our offense last year was often just plain stale, a TE is often that spark lighter so regardless of Orton or Tebow a TE could be a big help to this team. And having said that I say yes to Rudolph at 46, but i really don't consider him a steal at that point, I say fair value and i only say yes because our TE need is so great but it would definitely need to be being weighed against the defensive players available.

Decimating the competition, leaving in the wake a blind ambition.

Maybe. I'm starting to get the feeling more and more that our first pick is Dareus and 2b will be LeShoure. Probably someone like Paea or Austin with 2a.

I voted yes though.
No way we are double dipping at DT.
It is going to be
Dareus
Best OT
Best RB
Best Slb/Mlb
And then TE and secondary in the later rounds.
But hopefully we can trade down a few times and load up on 2nd rounders and 3rd rounders.
Pick 46 comes along and the following guys are available:
Kyle Rudolph - TE
Casey Mathews - ILB
Martez Wilson - OLB (IL)
Jabaal Sheard - DE (Pitt)
Daniel Thomas - RB
Marcus Gilbert - OT (FL)
John Moffitt - OG (Wisc)
I don't think you jump on Rudolph. For need, I think we go with depth for the O-Line. And a quality RB, with size and steam-roller power would improve the Offense more than a quality TE.
