Bronco's Top Undrafted College FA's of all time

[Mingo]

Who is the top Undrafted college free agent of all time for the Broncos?

 

[Mingo]

@Orange Crush77 is the top free agent on this board, but frankly if I had a can of the shine @SpringStein uses for the top of his head - I wouldn't trade that can for an OC trading card.

 

[SpringStein]

I’m not old enough to know most of the old timers, so it seems like the easy choice is Rod Smith. Chris Harris wasn’t bad, but doesn’t measure up to Rod’s career.

 

[LGM]

Same as Springer. Harris trailed off, as his position is likely to do. Rod went out productive, though less so his final year if I recall correctly.

He also retired a Bronco, which is more impressive.

Willie Brown. He’s on the list and the best player on the list.
in the HOF

The last 3 words of the question would make me say otherwise.

Willie Brown was the original #24 cornerback for the Denver Broncos. When Lou Saban became the Bronco's coach, he traded Willie Brown and Mickey Slaughter to the Raiders for a forgettable DL named Mirich and a 3rd round pick. The worst trade in Bronco's history. Watching Willie Brown play was a major treat as a fan. I remember once as he knocked Lance Alworth to the ground 3 times on the same play inside of 5 yards from the LOS - which was legal play at the time.

question. who was the best draft pick of all time for “the Baltimore Colts”?

 

[Draft Crazy]

This is a great question.

It is between Rod Smith and Chris Harris to me.

Which is an entirely different question than the one posed by Mingo. If you want to know who the best player Denver ever drafted is, ask that question.

Did you vote for Willie, or do you just like to argue?

His question is ambiguous.
who is the best player to play for Denver or who is the best player signed by Denver as a CFA.

the fact willie brown is on this list points to #2 over #1 because we know Willie did not have have a career in Denver.

Let Mingo clarify

Yeah - it was poor wording, but I did clarify by voting for Hot Rod.

You should be in local government.

I should be president of the United States.

Wouldn't get a vote as the "top" but one guy who deserves mention in this topic is Matt Lepsis.
