Did you guys not listen to Coach Gruden? WTF??

I didn't. But please tell me you're kidding. Did Gruden defend that pick?

Gruden loves Tebow like Kurt Warner loves Jesus.

Gruden said he's a special football player and a leader and locker room and blah blah blah.

But, who loves Jesus more? TT or KW?

As a Tennessee fan, i would highly recommend the rams look at Dexter McCluster. The guy is a slicer and dicer. He absolutely tore us up. Chris johnson came to mind when i was watching him run.

I've hated the RAMS since '99 but they are slowly but surely winning me over again, so i'd love to see them grab Hardesty in the 3rd (total homer pick, but he IS talented).

My guess is that they will trade this pick and pick up a couple more picks. Then they will grab a WR... Benn or Tate.

Why hate the Rams?

Anyway, I would love to see them get a talented WR that can build early chem with Bradford. The O Line MUST improve or be addressed in this draft, as well, tho. Bradford cannot suffer the same fate at a David Carr if this franchise wants to realize better days.

Cause i'm a titans fan.

That makes sense. So, the question is, how are the Rams beginning to win you over if you are a Titans fan?

Well, being that i live in St. Louis, i am continually exposed to them so perhaps i am finally just conforming.

I'd like to be able to root for the home team, but the last few years they've been so dismal and boring... what was there to root for?

I like the regime change and the am a huge fan of rebuilding process for teams. That's why they're beginning to win me over.

I'm still laughing at that Tebow pick. That'll be good times for a long time.

Yeah, it'll make for a lot of great sports talk out here. Here's the Denver Post's take:
Broncos pick QB Tim Tebow at No. 25 in NFL draft

But there are other reasons for eyebrows to rise. Tebow becomes a Broncos' first-round draft choice a month after the team acquired quarterback Brady Quinn to back up starter Kyle Orton?

"We expect the competition to be incredible," McDaniels said.

And, the Broncos took Tebow even though McDaniels runs a disciplined, systematic offense while the lefty appears to be ultimate, freelancing quarterback?

"We stole a lot of their (Florida Gators') plays two or three years ago," McDaniels said. "They ask their quarterback to do a lot. What Tim has been asked to do mentally, there was a lot of burden on him. Same thing here."

By now, the surprises have become so commonplace, there is no longer reason to be surprised.

If Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is bold enough to fire the iconic Mike Shanahan as coach before last season and replace him with the unproven McDaniels, if McDaniels has the guts to trade away Cutler and Marshall, then why should anyone be surprised Denver made this daring move?

The next question regards the Broncos' quarterback position for the upcoming 2010 season, and beyond. One possible scenario: Tebow would become the Broncos' starting quarterback in either 2011 or 2012.

Orton figures to get the first chance to start in 2010, but he will again be playing on a one-year contract. It is clear Tebow's selection means the Broncos would not be inclined to sign Orton to a long-term deal.

Will Orton now move to the trading block?

Quinn has two more years, at an affordable $700,000 per, on his contract. It's conceivable Orton could be the starter in 2010, Quinn in 2011 and Tebow in 2012 and beyond.

As Tebow develops, he could be used immediately for five to six plays a game. His ability to run and jump pass made him a goal-line, third-and-1 weapon in college. And then there are popular Wildcat formations.

"I won't deny that he does give you an opportunity to create some un-gameplanned production, similar to a Ben Roethlisberger or Donovan McNabb," McDaniels said. "You draw a play up on the board and it doesn't look as pretty as I thought it would, but then he makes it work some other way."

I just can't imagine McDaniels making it past next season as the Broncos coach, but Bowlen is not someone who is easy to predict.

You are so understating the head job that Gruden gave Tebow.

I'm originally from Jackson, TN. Lived in Cape Girardeau most all my life though.

I'm actually trying to move to Nashville though.
