Two that come to mind right now.

With the homer pick, I also like Bruggeman from Iowa…

If not reilly, then harrell. i have a feeling McD will bring in another QB

Styg was high on him.

Beckwith***
King****
Ellerbe***
ogletree*
Gibson**
L.Robinson**
sheets**
pegues*
shipley*
passmore*
e.Williams*
fitzhugh*
faletoese*
corey smith*
Derek walker*
khalif mitchell**
and many more….

Make it happen, McD!

Looking from the college-side perspective, that’d make life a whole lot easier when trying to track where players go.

while there have certainly been some gems in free agency over the years and the Broncos lost a ton of RBs last season, I’d rather focus the free agent signings on whatever defensive positions we underdrafted on this draft. Still a lot of decent DE and DTs out there. Er, not that it’s either/or of course. Can never have too much depth in the running game. If Rashard Jennings hadn’t been drafted I would’ve been all over that one. ;-)

Colt Anderson is a Viking. I’m really happy for him, he’s an awesome kid. I was kind of hoping he’d go to Tenn. with the Jeff Fisher (Colt played alonside Jeff’s son @ MT) and Tim Hauck (current Titen’s DB coach and Colt’s former coach and former Grizzly great) connections.

Mitch King,Khalif Mitchell and Michael Bennett. Also liked Beckwith who the Chargers signed.

We can take a practice squad guy, but that’s it.

from a forum, so unconfirmed

Domoinique johnson is a great find. ANother guy that attacks the ball, had 14 pass break ups in limited time alst year, was 20th in the nation for disrupting passes, even though he missed a little time with a knee injury. Broncos are getting him on the upswing….

Man it is SOOOO clear what kinds of DBs Denver wanted, I wish I had known before the draft!! :) I want to redo my whole board…

Pedescleaux and Johnson? i had us taking Pedescleaux in the 7th

and we signed him undrafted does that count? I dont think it matters cause he the only one i got right

I have him in my notes as “KR only” as in, I didn’t think he would play WR in the league. I don’t remember him at all….

Good P/U for the Jags

on ESPN Sports Nation, vote for the grade you’d give each AFC West team’s draft:
http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/poll/index?pCat=46&sCat=373

I gave Denver a B, Raiders an F, KC a B, San Diego a C.

I think he would be worth a flier

that San Diego got Darry Beckwith? he will quite literally be their woodyard next year…

franchise tag was taken off by SEA

Okay, so since I’m from Sioux Falls, I’ll make a pitch for a local. JaRon Harris; WR, South Dakota State. 6’1" 200 lbs, and he ran a forty in under 4.4 seconds. He is a good receiver, and would be worthy of a shot at the squad I think. Any word on him? I graduated with his wife…

Or is it backwards?

Lions acquire a sixth-round pick (No. 174: Tom Brandstater) from the Broncos in exchange for a seventh-round pick (No. 235: Zack Follett) and a fifth-rounder in 2010

Trade List

haha but i love it … and i guess i wont sleep either

Looks like his production dropped a bunch, I am assuming due to injury, or maybe because the Vols sucked in 2008.

looks as a Wildcat QB, provided he can make the team.

I blog at Rocky Top Talk (Tennessee’s SBN site) and am in grad school in Knoxville, so I can provide a little bit of info. Taylor’s a solid wide receiver and would have probably been a mid-late rounder if last year’s season had gone decently for the Vols. However, 2008 was the first year for offensive coordinator David Clawson, who brought in a West-Coast system. That system completely baffled the offense for most of the year and ended up being the final straw that made the fan base apathetic, leading to Fulmer’s termination as head coach.

Clawson’s system relies heavily on presnap adjustments by every offensive player. For example, the WRs have 3 to 4 alternate route calls for every single play. At the college level, that’s a lot to handle and most of Clawson’s former teams required 2 years to get the hang of it all. Unfortunately, the staff never informed anybody that it would take so long to build the offense, opting instead to tell us that all was well. And all was not well.

With UT’s offensive players, it’s a little better to evaluate 2008 from a physical perspective than a mental one. Nobody was running the offense well that year because nobody had it down. The offensive line was horrible and the WRs didn’t know what routes to run half the time.

I’m not going to endorse Taylor too heavily; I’m too vested into the kid and would rather let you form your own opinions. But look up press quotes from him and tie them to his metrics and his pre-2008 performances to get a handle on him. Those should be better gauges.

Denver Broncos
Grade: B+

Quantity was just as important as quality for a team with so many roster holes. Denver gave up a ton to acquire five picks in the first two rounds and ten overall. But they got quality with the best running back in the draft (Knowshon Moreno), the best 3-4 outside linebacker prospect (Robert Ayers), and a nice value in second-rounder Alphonso Smith.

Giving up a first-rounder for Smith, however, gets Denver marked down. Sixth-round prospect Tom Brandstater is no Jay Cutler, though. If Cutler’s unnecessary trade counted in this grade, we’d give Denver an F.

-Rotoworld

3-4 would be bigger right?

On a side note, the Jags have now signed 18 UFAs. Spit wads at the wall or simple greed?

I’m out, to go grade draftivus contest entries!

Keep it real.

also got Alcorn State linebacker Lee Robinson, according to the Denver Post.

another CB. This is getting a little crazy.

Here’s a listing from MUG over at Bronco Country.

1. DE Everette Pedescleaux (Northern Iowa)
2. CB Domonique Johnson (Jackson State)
3. WR Lucas Taylor (Tennessee)
4. WR Nate Swift (Nebraska)
5. FB Marquez Brandon (Central Arkansas)
6. LB Lee Robinson (Alcorn State)
7. DT Chris Baker (Hampton)
8. CB Tony Carter (FSU)

I’ll comment in another post responding to this one.

I look at him as one of the CFA plums. We’ve (at least I have) written on him but I don’t know where those posts are.

http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/te/Marquez-Branson.php

Height: 6’2"
Weight: 247
College: Central Arkansas
Conference: Southland
Hometown: Starkville, MS
High School: Starkville High School

Combine Results:
40 Yard Dash : 4.71 seconds
Bench Press : 22.0 reps
Vertical Jump : 35.0 inches
Broad Jump : 109.0 inches

Positives: Stout frame with room for additional growth. Good initial quickness off the snap. Athletic enough to gain a free release off the line and to shake linebackers to gain separation. Secure receiver who looks the ball into his hands. Can take a shot and maintain possession. Good speed to challenge the seam. Surprisingly physical at the point of attack as a run blocker. Gets a good initial pop and will battle for position.

Negatives: May have to make the transition to H-back or fullback at the next level due to his lack of preferred size and strength. Has no experience as a traditional fullback. Good effort, but only marginal overall strength as a blocker. Level of competition a concern. May struggle with a complicated playbook.

We got some DL.

I think that those who thought that McDaniels was just smoke-screening when he said he wanted competition are in for a rude awakening. He meant it as I can see from this list of CFA’s

Except for the guys with character issues.

http://www.nepatriotsdraft.com/2009/04/2009-undrafted-free-agent-signings-list.html

Elusive speed and quickness… was used effectively in the West Coast Offense that Callahan brought with him to the Huskers.

Super stoked the guy is getting a shot! Think McCaffrey!

isnt that a whole lot?

I think we will have a little LESS of a drive for CFA’s. Not a whole lot but Shanny had a history of raiding the CFA’s while NE does very limited CFA’s. we will see how this works

Baker and Robinson as well (and especially) as Carter all seem to have been competed for in that department.

Here’s the new list with a few more additions.

1. DE Everette Pedescleaux (Northern Iowa)
2. CB Domonique Johnson (Jackson State)
3. WR Lucas Taylor (Tennessee)
4. WR Nate Swift (Nebraska)
5. FB Marquez Brandon (Central Arkansas)
6. LB Lee Robinson (Alcorn State)
7. DT Chris Baker (Hampton)
8. CB Tony Carter (FSU)
9. WR Travis Shelton (Temple)
10. WR David Grimes (Notre Dame)

Rulon Davis

Davis has an interesting story, if you haven’t heard about. I wish him the best.

that “the fridge” is being afflicted by right now.
