The Broncos traded back into the first round moving a 2nd, 3rd and 4th round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in order to take QB Tim Tebow of Florida with the 25th pick in the round.  Tebow really improved his stock at his Pro Day when he showed that he can be coached up as he sported a new release point on his passes.  I find it hard to believe that a lot of people doubt this guy as he is a fearless warrior and a great leader.  Tebow played in 14 games (all starts) with the Gators last season and he completed 213 of 314 passes (67.8%) for 2,895 yards with 21 TD passes and 5 INTs.  In his 4 years in Florida, Tebow played in 55 games (41 starts) and he completed 661 of 995 passes (66.4%) for 9,285 yards with 88 TD passes and 16 INTs.  The Broncos will likely bring Tebow along slowly behind Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn in 2010.
