Tedric Thompson - has the heart of a Buffalo - depending on his measurable - I think he plays to a 3rd round pick - and someone is going to be happy. Awuzie really showed something as a player - when he ran down a KR that went 95 yards and tackled the guy at the 3 yard line - short of the goal. You can't teach desire - Awuzie and Tompson have it - both 1st team defense Pac12 - I'm predicting.

Ohio State S Malik Hooker says he is staying in college another year.

As expected Texas RB D'Onta Foreman is declaring.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Means next year Malik Hooker and Derwin James will be in same draft class (assuming both stay healthy and declare) That is going to be some ball hawking S's.

Not a lot know about Derwin James, but I'm in love with the guy. Been hurt this year, but I haven't seen a FR DB I've liked as much as James since oh Ed Reed/Sean Taylor.... (Dre' Bly was another guy I fell in love with his FR year)

I love Crash too, but he doesn't count.

 

[Dr Cyanide 28]

Derrick Nnadi would be a guy i would consider drafting next year to play nose. Squat strong mean violent hands and has improved every game this year. Love the motor

 

[Dr Cyanide 28]

i don't want to say i told u so... but

Chris Jones 20 total pressures over the last five weeks are the 2nd most of any interior defender #Chiefs

 

[Draft Crazy]

I'd like to see Adam Gotsis get in the rotation more. Crick and Wynn are doing very little.

Jones was out of reach for us after we traded up for Paxton. He wasn't falling to our 2nd and he fell into the late round 1/ early round 2 draft range. Sucks that he is on KC though.

Next time pray a little harder, but it doesn't work. I prayed for a year in church on Sunday mornings that we would draft Ed Reed and it didn't happen.



Iowa LB Josey Jewell says he will not declare. He is a Butkus award finalist. Reminds me a lot of Paul Pousluzny coming out... . Solid in pass coverage and doesn't miss tackles.

 

[Draft Crazy]

Won't be in this years draft but a few underclassmen DB's I am growing fond of.

Northwestern WR Montrae Hartage. Only CB to shut down Purdue WR DeAngelo Yancey this year.

Nebraska CB Chris Jones, big and physical. Could add some weight... Reminds me of Sean Smith coming out.

Nebraska CB/S Josh Kalu. started as a S now playing CB. He is a great tackler... Man to man he seems pretty good in, good in press as is Jones. Reminds me a tad of a CB I have been talking up a lot this year which is Chidobe Awozie of Colorado.

These Florida CB's though. Quincy Wilson and Teez Tabor. Lawd have Mercy!

 

[Draft Crazy]

Miami RB Joseph Yearby and LB Jermaine Grace have declared for the draft.

To me both are day 3 picks... Rd 6-undrafted barring combine/workout blowups.

Yearby felll to 3rd string late in the year behind Mark Walton and Gus Edwards.

 

[Dr Cyanide 28]

Derrick Nnadi would be a great get for our dline. Squat but very strong and good use of hands and leverage at pushing pocket. Would be an excellent nose tackle for us. He isn't a "wow" athlete, but man he can punish some olineman. He started slow but has been dominant since then.

 

[Dr Cyanide 28]

Watched Derrick Nnadi's games vs Florida and Miami last night
here are my notes: pushes pocket excellently that helps edge rushers a lot, low pad level with squat frame so matches up very well against interior blockers, , awesome bullrush, good hand usage, looks to have an incredibly strong lower half, controls gaps nicely and can run laterally to stop run play along the line, quick burst out of snap (not elite but good), and decent arm length (not amazing but above average). I don’t think he tests amazing at combine but his tape shows tremendous improvement from last year to this year. DeMarcus Walker gets the credit but Nnandi is the more impressive FSU guy to me

CBS has him as a 5th rounder, but I would def take him round 3, maybe even round 2. Has the tools to be a very good NT in our system. Not the classic 350+lb monster, but that really isn’t our style.

I know we need O-Line and TE help but I'd love to see Denver take Peppers from Michigan if he's there. We could move him to LB and he can play a lot like Deone Bucannon does for Arizona.

he's going top 10 so unless we give up a shit ton for a 'non-elite impact' position we won't be grabbing him.
Fun athlete to watch though. Curious about his position in the NFL, but that 'deathbacker' role makes the most sense me thinks.

 

[Orange Crush77]

Keep the good work up fellas, especially for draft incompetent guys like myself. Good stuff!

 

[Draft Crazy]

Peppers won't sniff Denver's pick unless we trade up.

 

[cdumler7]

Peppers won't sniff Denver's pick unless we trade up.

I can't see Elway trading up for a LB/S/CB like Peppers. The talent is obviously there no question but I can only see him trading up that far for a QB at some point and right now they seem very happy with Paxton and Siemian.

 

[Draft Crazy]

agree

 

[Duffman]

Well if we miss the playoffs end up in the mid-teens I say it could be worth it since we'd only be trading up a few spots. But I know the chances of getting Peppers are slim to none especially since I figure we go Offensive or Defensive Line in Round 1.

Well most likely the Broncos would be picking in the late teens. Right now there isn't a single mock draft I have seen that has him going out of the top-10. Most have him around top-5. That would mean trading probably 2 more 1st round picks to trade up plus some mid round picks to get up to that point.
