PrintWell, assuming the league and the players get this lockout business sorted out, anyway. The Broncos liked Nate so much that they had him at the top of their MLB rankings. As GM Brian Xanders told Mile High Report:
Some of these guys were first or second ranked guys overall at their own position, so we are excited about it - like (Nate) Irving was the #1 MIKE linebacker on our board and we got him. It's exciting to see that and we are always going to stay true to our board.
Bill Parcells, FWIW, likes Irving a lot, too. Irving was the only inside linebacker that Parcells gave a first round grade.
From the Denver Post:
Instead of Fairley, the Broncos got two likely starters from the second round in safety Rahim Moore and right tackle Orlando Franklin. The plan is for third-round pick Nate Irving to start at middle linebacker. Plus, the Broncos were able to add fourth- and fifth-round picks.

Wow
Good luck Nate! I am really surprised at that news.
Look for Williams sack total to go up this year. For some reason it reminds me of when Auburn used Brandon Jacobs to smash blockers on kickoff coverage. How stacked is a team at running back when Brandon Jacobs is relegated to special teams battering ram?
My God
Mario at LB? That’s terrifying… and he has the speed to do it. He could totally fuck some people up with the extra open field he’ll be getting…
Who knew
That we were a LB goldmine. Can you imagine Mario, 9’ 5" 700 lbs LB. That is going to be sick… slight exaggeration but I hope this move works out. Think its funny how everyone says he wouldn’t do well in coverage… how can it be hard to be in coverage when you put your hands up and can touch the roof at Cowboy’s stadium?
