66 335 could play tackle or guard
Also like jack Conklin

Conklin is a guy that I am torn on. He has the look of a decent player but just doesn't always show it on the field. I also think he fits a Power Blocking scheme more so than a ZBS.

Another guy that could tumble is that of Robert Nkemdiche.

His interviews did not go well with the media. Started naming other players who were in the room with him when he was caught with weed and jumped out of a window falling 15 feet.

First off blamed the media for tarnishing his name. I would say getting caught with weed then trying to fly probably didn't help that.

He also admitted that he was lazy in college and liked to take plays off. Said he was working on that but not exactly what coaches want to hear when they are investing a top pick in you. Hope the kid gets it turned around as his talent level is off the charts.


Talent IMO wrong words for him .. potential might be the better word ..Talent means he actual did something to me not all that much to show

I'm still looking long and hard at Jaylon Smith round 1 at #31 especially if they have Ware for another year.
Round two beyond you lose the extra year on the contract but he's so good. Miller came back for the ACL
Smith had both a MCL and ACL but if he recovers 100% the Broncos would have a defense for the next 5 years that would be too incredible to think about.

I think Shaq Lawson #1 and Ronald Blair at 3rd would help this team .

Lawson would be a perfect fit.

Where does he fit though? Too small to play DE in my opinion and we are already pretty loaded at the OLB spot especially if we keep Ware. So I just don't know where he would fit. I love his talent for sure and most years would love to see a guy of his talent fall to us but just seems like he would get lost in our depth.

Lawson is not an OLB. He is a DE. I like him as a 3-4 DE. Maybe I am nuts, but that is just me. He is without a doubt not a 3-4 OLB. I feel he can play DE in either scheme.

I guess his 270 weight just scares me a bit. I just can't see him being a starter on the outside. I think teams would go crazy running at him. Kind of reminds me of when Dumervil was playing DE and teams knew they could run at him being an undersized guy on the outside.

So DC I have been seeing Shon Coleman mocked to us a lot lately. Any thoughts on him? I've watched a few of his games now and I definitely see the appeal. Athletically speaking I honestly think he ranks up there with the top guys. He also has a great punch where I saw him driving guys 4-5 yards straight back. Technique wise though he is down right terrible from what I can tell. He tries to punch way too often getting himself leaning forward and allowing guys to rip past him. His athleticism in college allowed him to actually catch back up with those guys on many occassions but I question how well that would hold up in the pros. If he can get coached up I think he could be a steal but I would worry about him being a starter this next year.

DB from Houston William Jackson III looks like a player.
They said a DB that has never intercepted a ball in college has never been drafted until this year with Alexander.

I have seen him play a lot and I definitely think he has a chance to be a very good pro. He was consistently good the past two years and he had a monster game last month against Florida State in the Peach Bowl, with 10 tackles, 2 INTs and 2 more PDs.

He got some good attention at combine. Thought of you right away Td. He impressed me as well. He is on teams radar more now.

I was going to post something about Ifedi, but stopped because I figured that I complain too much ..

I saw an article mention that we are "targeting" him, which I hope is false .. Unless we're targeting him in the 4th or 5th round ..

His out of control style makes him look unsure, almost as if the opposition is in his head .. He doesn't look strong or confident, as he is constantly moving backwards ( the 3rd play that begins at :20 illustrates this )

Since Houston CB William Jackson III has been mentioned a few times in this thread, I post this article:

Jackson has dad to thank for UH cornerback's turnaround in life

Really hope he makes his mark in the league. Unlikely that Denver drafts him, but Houston Cougars do have a history of transitioning into fine Broncos (i.e., Riley Odoms, Simon Fletcher, Glen Cadrez, and Alton Montgomery).

He will put on 10 pounds now that the combine is done more than likely now that he ran a decent 40...

and 280 is what wolf came into the NFL

This is what makes him perfect ..

Scheme versatile and will likely appeal to be 3-4 and 4-3 teams. Very powerful at the point of attack. Able to punch, extend arms and control the line of scrimmage or set a hard edge.

Well that and you could tell he was out of shape last year get our DL Coach after this kid a wham supper star ..
