What If… Josh McDaniels Is a Genius?!?

What if Josh McDaniels is a genius? I’ll admit “genius” may be a little bit of an overstatement.  More realistically, what if it all works out for McDaniels?

What if Jay Cutler and the Chicago Bears struggle in 2009 and fail to make the playoffs.  The Denver Broncos benefit with a first round pick in the top 18 of the 2010 NFL Draft?

What if the New York Jets bite on a Brandon Marshall trade and send their first round pick for 2010 to the Broncos?

In the 2010 draft the Broncos select both Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford and Oklahoma State WR Dez Bryant.  With his remaining picks McDaniels trades down, in typical New England form, to gather a dearth of picks.

In a few years an offensive nucleus of Bradford, Knowshon Moreno, and Dez Bryant thrives in Denver, Come the start of the 2012 season, the Denver Broncos are favorites to win the AFC West and push deep into the playoffs.

What if a scenario similar to this plays out for the Broncos?  Would Josh McDaniels be regarded as the next great architect in the NFL?

Think about it.
