Everyone knew that Tim Tebow would get his NFL opportunity no later than the 2nd round of the NFL Draft, but few thought that he would go before both Colt McCoy and Jimmy Clausen.
The Broncos took Tebow with their 25th pick yesterday.
This pick came out of left field considering that the Broncos already have Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn on the roster at quarterback.
Most likely the Broncos are going to use Tebow in certain offensive packages that could include running the option. It's going to give opposing defensive coordinators another factor to plan for.
What may be even more surprising is the fact that the Broncos passed up on McCoy and Clausen. Both of these guys will most likely get snatched up in the 2nd round later today.
Now that Tebow has officialy been granted his chance at the NFL it'll be interesting to see if he can eventually silence his many critics.
Best Available
- Colt McCoy (Texas)
- Taylor Mays (Southern Cal)
- Terrence Cody (Alabama)
- Brandon Spikes (Florida)
- Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame)
