Does anybody know which players.......

by chopperpilot on Apr 5, 2009 4:28 PM MDT

McD and X-Man have brought in for tryouts (college draftees) thus far? Also, does anyone know who IS scheduled for tryouts in the near future? Based off what I saw in FA, they (McD and X-Man) don't waste time on people they are not REALLY interested in.

If anyone knows the entire list or has a link where I could go to get this info I would greatly appreciate it.

Actually

They just brought in Rashad Johnson

They have looked at Beanie Wells, Malcom Jenkins, Antoine Caldwell-Alabama center, i think a few other running backs.

I also know they were only one of two teams with the texans not to go to USC pro day. Maybe McDaniels is taking somewhat of a shanny approach, he never drafted guy he brought in for visits.

I’ve heard conflicting reports that said that ALL teams were represented at USC Pro Day. Does anyone know for sure?

Thanks...

for the clarification and link.

From various NFL.com articles...

I gathered we have already visited with/have future visits planned with the following players:

1. former VA Tech QB Pat White as a WR
2. Clay Matthews (’SC) – OLB

Sorry can’t help more — I wish I knew of a complete list somewhere…

i think you mean

former WVU QB Pat White.

but why would we need to bring in pat white? i feel like there are other problems to be addressed before taking a former qb who will have to learn a new position

yes, I did. Thanks for the correction =)

and, agreed.

I have no idea why we’re bringing him in. Receiver is the last position we need to address.

Uh....disagree....

Marshall is far from reliable and without him we are an average WR crew.

THANKS STYG50!!!!!!!!!!

keep in mind

that the extra attention shouldn’t be a flag that Denver has additional interest above and beyond anyone else in the draft. It means Denver has additional questions about the prospect. Maybe The scout who covered the player was unsure about some element of their game, or maybe they had questions for the player that didn’t get asked at the combine.

Big name players are probably little more than making sure they have dotted all the ’i’s and crossed all the ’t’s. Smaller school players are likely the same thing, but could mean more if the player didn’t get a combine invite, or if Denver missed their Proday.

Very true, another thing to keep in mind is that teams will use workouts as smoke screens

Sometime the are brought in to make teams think they are looking at someone else, I think San Fran has been doing that with Andre Smith, trying to make other teams think they will select him so that someone like Philly will trade up and take him there.
