[Boo Radley]

SHOELACE..to the Jags...glad he got to stay close to home and a chance to shine too with the struggling team looking for any help it can get!!

 

[megalodon30]

Broncos up next.

 

[Black Adam]

interesting pick IF he's overcome his injury issue...



Quanterus Smith COULD be a good one...

Quanterus Smith, welcome to the Denver Broncos. DE out of W. Kentucky.

 

[megalodon30]

Looks like it was the same injury as Carradine, and a lot of experts had us taking him in the 1st, so...

HAH, on CBS Pete Prisco isn't impressed, so i think maybe you guys might be ok lol...

12.5 sacks in 10 games last year before the injury. Looks like he definitely knows how to get after the QB. Now let's get him healthy.

[megalodon30]

Strengths: Possesses good strength at this time and the lanky frame to add more mass without a significant loss of quickness. Shows impressive burst off the snap to get the tackle on his heels, as well as the flexibility to dip under his opponent's reach and the lateral agility to counter back inside. Uses his hands well, showing a classic arm-over swim move, as well as a hard chop to break free from tackles latching onto his jersey. Good lateral agility to slip blocks at the edge and shows good overall athleticism, speed and hustle in pursuit. Plays with good leverage to hold up better than expected in the running game. Has improved each year of his career.


Weaknesses: While the performance against Alabama was impressive, much of his production came against lower-level competition, including an eye-popping five sacks against Florida International. Relies on his agility and leverage to hold up against the run but is too often pushed off the line and/or sealed off from the action, which could necessitate a move to outside linebacker in the NFL, a position he has never played.
Suffered a torn ACL to his left knee on Nov. 17 and underwent surgery shortly after the end of WKU's regular season, making his ability to handle the position change all the more questionable.


Compares To: John Abraham, DE/OLB, Atlanta Falcons
--Rob Ran

Sounds good.

 

[Boo Radley]

The pundits on ESPN think its a savy/sleeper selection...they said when they played Bama he had 3 sakks on DJ Fluker who just went to our rival on the coast with P-Hole Rivers as their TOP choice.

So when he gets healthy, that will be some added motivation to line up against him 2wice a year!

 

[megalodon30]

Adam Schefter reporting we're signing Shaun Phillips, former Chargers LB. Good pass rusher, could replace Doom 'til Smith is healthy.

 

[megalodon30]

 

[megalodon30]

69.5 career sacks. 9.5 last year.

Broncos pick here.

 

[megalodon30]

Tavarres King, welcome to the Denver Broncos. Interesting pick. WR out of Georgia. Wonder what's making Swope drop so far.

I would guess the System he played in is quirky and hitchy...doesn't really showcase the skills of the WRs like it should.

Broncos up after the Raiders.

If you say so. I don't watch much Georgia. But P. Manning can make any WR good, so as long as he can catch, he should be a weapon.
