The Denver Broncos select WR Eric Decker in the third round
The Broncos have selected WR Eric Decker out of Minnesota with the 87th overall pick (3rd round) of the NFL Draft. Decker is a possession type WR who has a outstanding set of hands. He played in 8 games (all starts) for the Golden Gophers last season in which he caught 50 passes for 758 yards (15.2 avg) with 5 TD grabs. Decker is coming off a Lisfranc foot injury which likely caused him to drop a round but if he comes back healthy the Broncos will be very happy with this pick. Decker played in 44 games (33 starts) in his four years with Minnesota and he caught 227 passes for 3,119 yards (13.7 avg) with 24 TD grabs. This was a outstanding pick for the Broncos as Decker gives them a solid #3 type WR.
