First, sorry to not have started this thread earlier. NO, I didnt want him but I suggest BB did! Did anyone besides me see all the coincidences that lined up in in a near-miss to Tebow? Never mind the talking heads just look at the draft order and the order of the trades. We sat still til #22 before trading down, if we had wanted Gresham plenty of mocks had him going before us and we had the ammo to jump up to get him. We pass trading back to 24....The Broncos traded down from 11 to 13 to 22 and take the WR. Seeing this, we continue to trade back to 27 when for some immediate reason Denver trades back up to 25!! Who picks in the next few picks?
26-cards-nope
27-pats-HMMM
28-Dophins-not likely with 2 new QBs
29-Jest-new QB last year
30-Lions-new QB last year
31-Colts-maybe
32-NO-nope
Seeing their target of Bryant go just before them to Dallas the Ravens stab BB in the back(we return the favor with Gronk!) and Denver uses almost all their picks gained in 2 trades to trade back up to 25....what they gave up made those 2 other trades insignificant....they WANTED Tebow there before someone else....and we ended up with another small CB. Makes too much sense to me for there not to be some truth to it. The order which it happened isnt coincidental is it? Does anyone really buy that we wanted a CB in the first round?? I'm telling you we came II this close to actually making it UF north around here this week. I feel like we dodged a bullet, anyone else? NOW maybe that little CB isnt so bad.....Conspiracy theory or totally plausible?
Let me also add the fact that in a interview Tebow aknowledged at least 2 teams and he knew the area of the draft where he was told he was to be taken. He has no reason to lie. Fact is you can sign a first rd pick for 5 years and a 2nd rounder to only 4(pretty sure this is still in effect). For a developmental guy like Tebow the cost effectiveness of a 5 yr deal would mean he would have to be taken in the first. We were at 27, not likely trading back between there and 32. Smoke, smoke, smoke. Here is the link to the trade order....
