Are you kidding me? Don’t forget that Shanahan traded up to get Moss too. Let’s go over some of your list.

Jay Cutler is an extreme underachiever for such a high pick.

Eddie Royal has had one 900 yard season.

Brandon Marshall was drafted to be a tight-end.

Peyton Hillis was a lucky 7th round grab.

Spenser Larsen has played 1 game at linebacker and has received a handful of catches and carries.

Ryan Torian is has had more injures than games started.

Marcus Thomas just registered his first sack in four seasons.

Tony Scheffler never did anything but catch the occasional bomb and sit in the trainers office.

Ryan Harris was god awful until Shanahan’s final season there, and he has still barely been on the field or performing at his one good season’s level.

Elvis Dumervil was a big gamble of a pick who didn’t really show his true potential until McDaniels arrived.

The only picks I will give credit to are Ryan Clady and Chris Kuper. Clady still was considered a reach at that position, and Denver was blasted for not taking Brandon Albert or Jonathan Stewart, who were still on the board.

Please don’t try to defend Shanahan’s drafting techniques. Do you even remember Jeff Shoate? Greg Eslinger? Marcus Nash? Ashley Lelie? George Foster? Terry Pierce? Tim Crowder? Paul Toviessi? Willie Middlebrooks? Lennie Friedman? MAURICE CLARETT!?

Whatever happened to Ryan Clady, Jay Cutler, Eddie Royal, Brandon Marshall, Peyton Hillis, Chris Kuper, Ryan Torain, Spenser Larsen, Ryan Harris, Marcus Thomas, Tony Scheffler and Elvis Dumervil. Shanahan only got 4 pro-bowlers and 10 NFL starters out of twenty picks.

The only thing worse than Shanahan’s draft record was his FA record.

He’s an elite offensive mind, but he would really benefit from a talented GM.

Except for that, he underacheived with Elway, and completely fouled the futon with his draft picks and FA’s.

Apparently Bill Romanowski is too busy…

if you think LB’s are the problem you need to get your football IQ up.. we need another DT like Dixon . . a beast that happens to be over 6’2 & 300lbs, , like those other turds we have. Bunkley is a beast but he gets swollowed up by 6’7 OL.. same with Patterson.. this whole small and fast thing aint workin when you have a RB like jacobs in you division..
even in the win on monday the Foreskins ran the ball often and for good yardage..

We need to beat NY to prove to me they can hang this year.. otherwise,, they are just messing up their draft status.

Maybe a different scheme could show case his abilities but he was given every chance in the world and never showed enough.
