It's not very often that a team that played for a conference championship drafts a high profile QB in the first round. That's just what the Broncos have done, adding Vanderbilt QB, Jay Cutler with the tenth pick in this past weekend's NFL draft.

Like every team, the Broncos had needs. A quarterback wasn't nescessarily one of them, but Cutler was an intriguing pick. What it tells me is that the Broncos like the team that went to the AFC championship last year and saw little need to change what was a pretty good team. Rookie QB's don't start for playoff teams, so Cutler will sit behind incumbent QB Jake Plummer for at least a year.

Look out next year though. No one in Denver seems to really be sold on Plummer and the pick of Cutler isn't overly suprising. Cutler has a strong arm and had amazing workouts at the pre-draft combine. If he played any other position, he would probably be considered a strong candidate to start for his new team.

The thing I'm positive about is that the Broncos chose Jay Cutler, a player who most likely won't play for two or three years. It speaks volumes about their confidence for the upcoming season.
