I think there are quality late round picks -- Brett Rypien would certainly be one -- but one quarterback I think would give the Broncos that updated-type offense would be Jordan Ta'amu! If you look at his stats, rating [and[ completion percentage he's up there at or above all the front-runners. I'd like to see him come to the Broncos. I have a feeling he would be a good future QB for us.

Statistics aren't everything, of course. However, it is interesting that his adjusted-completion percentage last season (per Pro Football Focus) was 72.4 percent, which places him behind 11 quarterbacks who were at the NFL Scouting Combine last week.

Ta'amu had an outstanding week at the East-West Shrine Game, although one thing about which I am concerned is the fact that his production against Southeastern Conference competition last season while at Mississippi was relatively pedestrian.

If you use the NFL's passer-rating formula, Ta'amu's rating against non-conference competition was 134.1, as he completed 68.6 percent of his passes, averaged 11.7 yards per attempt and threw 12 touchdowns against one interception. Against SEC foes, his rating was 86.3. His completion percentage dropped to 61.2; his average per attempt fell to 8.5 yards and his touchdown-to-interception ratio was 7-7.
