26. Broncos drafted two ASU players in Brock Osweiler & Omar Bolden

Osweiler can throw the ball well & is quite mobile though I thought he should have stayed another year to develop his skills but this is probably the best situation to be in if you do leave early, behind Peyton Manning w/ an opportunity to pick up a few things and learn how to read defenses. I'm not surprised Bolden was taken 4th despite spending the entire 2011 season injured and most almost the entire 2009 season. He worked extremely hard to recover from injury earning praise from teammates. He has blazing speed and was an All-Conference CB the full season he did play.

He has done this more than a few times.



He actually did it twice in that Wisconsin game but a holding penalty negated the 2nd return.

I'm biased but I strongly feel Denver got a steal with this pick despite the injury cloud floating over him.
