That is why a pick like Al Wilson felt really good to me when we took him. People let him slide based on measureables, but the guy was a beast in college for 4 years. One of those guys who it felt like he played college for 12 years because he left a mark every game.

Exactly! Measurables to me should maybe be 5% of the process when it comes to prospects. Make sure they meet certain baseline measurements but beyond that I wouldn't read too much into them. Now maybe if you have two players rated very closely at the same position then measurables could be the difference in deciding which one to rank higher, but to me production is such an important part of the picture. Again if they can't do it against college competition what are the odds that they will be able to do it against NFL competition?

Then there is Crash who has left us 40 times and returned 41. #TrueBroncosAlwaysReturn

Speaking of food. I've got a friend who is friends with the guy who supplies the team their bacon.

But yeah agree, you hear of a lot of guys who seem to want to return.

Just thinking of a few who have return (and yes, every team has their list) but

Keith Burns returned 3 times
Ian Gold returned after a big contract with Tampa
Eric Decker wants to return
Kayvon now
Vance Johnson (was traded to Minnesota, cut and came right back, then next year signed with San Diego, was ut and came back to finish his career)
Tatum Bell returned after be traded to Detroit
Tyrone Braxton returned after a year in Miami

Who else has returned or has wanted to return? I know I am missing some who publicly stated it.
I wanna say Zane Beadles wanted to return.

Very nice! I've seen video of the kitchen/dining area and it looks pretty darn impressive. This is something I have always loved about Bowlen is while he isn't the richest owner in the NFL he has always made sure the team has top notch facilities. He knows the importance of that in helping build a championship caliber team. That is what makes me nervous of what happens when the team moves on from him as the owner...does his family stay in the business and put the same love and care into the team? If they sell then does that new owner treat the team like Bowlen has?

This place would not be the same without him.

As bad as people say Elway is at drafting players he's nowhere close to Mike Shanahan bad in his last several years.

I can't remember but when did Shanahan get the title of GM added to his name with the Broncos?

HA! I forgot about that...

Good memory!

and damn Paul anyway. How could you hate Al Wilson? The dude had as big of a heart and fire as one could ask for.

He went by his alias, Brian Xanders.

Aldon Smith arrested yet again.

My new nickname for him is ALL DONE

 

[fightinredantz]

I-D-10-T might work too.

 

[cdumler7]

So crazy to see a guy like Aldon with the world at his fingertips just completely throw his career away. This is why the signing of Ware for Von Miller was so huge. A true mentor that he looked up to that taught him what it takes to be a professional in this league long-term.

I’m not pretending to know anything personally about Alton, but sounds like possibly some mental illness. I know there were rumors out of U MO when he was there that he wasn’t exactly “ok”.
