Smokescreening was a major part of the pre-NFL Draft festivities, but I don't think anyone ever saw the Denver Broncos selecting Knowshon Moreno, the running back from Georgia, with the 12th overall pick in the draft.
But then all of a sudden, ESPN was showing video of Moreno, who didn't appear to even think about being selected, answering the telephone. And suddenly there was chaos: the Broncos actually picked him!
Not to get all hyperbolic on you with the exclamation points, but this is another nightmare feather in coach Josh McDaniels' cap; Keyshawn Johnson called him "arrogant," immediately folllowing the pick, and considering he basically forced Jay Cutler out of town, people in Denver might be wondering about their new coach right now.
Moreno's not a bad player at all -- in fact he's incredibly talented -- but at 12 he makes little-to-no sense from a value perspective, unless the Bronocs simply thought they wouldn't have a shot at him when they picked again at 18.
