Denver clearly had one of the better drafts out there.

Rd Pk (Ov) Player Pos School Notes
1 11 (11) Jay Cutler QB Vanderbilt (from St. Louis)
2 29 (61) Tony Scheffler TE W. Michigan
4 22 (119) Brandon Marshall WR UCF (from Washington)
4 29 (126) Elvis Dumervil DE Louisville
4 33 (130) Domenik Hixon DB Akron (Compensatory Selection)
5 29 (161) Chris Kuper OG North Dakota
6 29 (198 ) Greg Eslinger C Minnesota

Cutler will likely be the team's QB of the future, and I think Marshall, Dumervil and Eslinger might have potential. And we can't forget that the Broncos also picked up Javon Walker during draft weekend. Not bad, eh?

Hmm... the guys at EndScore (article 1) give Denver an A-, or a B+ if you don't count the Walker trade. They like the picks of Cutler, Scheffler and Marshall, but don't seem so key on Dumervil, who they said "came out too early as a junior".

However, the SportsMemo people (article 2) have this to say about him: "Louisville pass rush specialist Elvis Dumervil, who recorded an amazing 20 sacks last year, is undersized as a defensive end but his skills may be able to be utilized off the edge in pass-rush situations." They also call the Broncos the clear winners of the draft.

What do you folks think of these two assessments of what Denver did this past weekend?
