I don't think Kyle Orton is much of an upgrade over Simms or whoever is the backup/starter in Denver.
The 18th overall pick and something around 110 overall and a first next year (which will likely be in the high teens to low 20s) makes me conclude that the market for Cutler wasn't very hot.
Cutler's trade demands and possible off-field baggage really put Denver in a tough spot in terms of getting equal trade value. In hindsight, Cassel would have been very preferrable to Kyle Orton and a couple coin flip mid-first rounders.
