  • Devon “Monster” Matthews

    Remember this name fellas. This guys was undrafted but he is a Beast. Can’t believe we picked him up. If he has the work ethic and can stay healthy he could be our sleeper.

      The whole group of undrafted college free agents looks interesting. Seems like a lot of thought went into scouting players who could fit into the new O, D and STs. Sean Payton said that once a player is sitting in a meeting room, it doesn't matter how he got there. The best players will play. With 73 on the roster, five draft picks and seventeen UDFAs, so far, some guys will be released. Rookie mini-camp is next week! Exciting times!

        It seems like our new coaching staff knows what they're looking for, and can pick good talent.

            Watching the film shows he flies around but on most of his big hits he does not wrap up. Needs to clean that up or he will have a short career

              Don’t see how an undrafted guy beats two drafted players. Probably a PS player.

                Which UDFA do you think has the best chance of making the roster?

                  My guess would be either a running back or an offensive lineman.

                  The Broncos have a strong history of signing at least one udfa that makes the roster.

                    He hits like a missile; I'm hoping they can coach him up. The athletic ability cannot be taught.

                      Not arguing he plays with a reckless abandon that is fun to watch. But how many of those middle hits leave NFL receivers still on their feet and gaining more yards?

                      Great for STs ? But tough to see him earning the roster and field during a game. Several players in front of him are talented too.

                      I wish him nothing but luck and success.

                        Yeah, that would be a good guess, I think. Denver's streak of at least one UDFA making the roster may hold. Much depends on how many players will be carried at each position group. They will try to get the best 53.

                        Denver came out of the draft with 78 guys on the roster. According to some lists, they have signed as many as 17 UDFAs and will be hosting another 15 (12 UDFAs and 3 XFL/former NFL guys) players at Rookie Mini-Camp next week. Denver has enough cap space to sign another UFA or two. In order to get to 90 for TC, there must be a winnowing out process.

                        There could be a roster player or two traded at some point to obtain more draft capital next year. Some guys on the current roster may be released. Denver may not sign 17 UDFAs, but a lesser/greater number. Tryout player(s) at next week's mini-camp may be added, or not. Between now and the end of TC/preseason other teams may release players of interest whom the Broncos might acquire which would necessitate a roster shuffle.

                        Payton said that the process by which a player is added is of no importance once he takes his seat in the meeting room. The best players will play regardless of how they got there. He also said everyone would play in the preseason games. That would be around 20 snaps each for 1st, 2nd, 3rd team O & D.

                        I think most of the UDFAs will end up on the 16 man PS for development and at least several will move to the roster mid-season. Am looking forward to watching the preseason games, as usual, to see how the players and coaches have been doing on the practice field, and if it translates to some semblance of game day.

                          Broncos are also bringing in a Dlineman from the International Player Program.

                          Just read this morning, not familiar with the program details.

                          How bad could it be? Haggai Ndubuisi 6’7” 320 lbs of long shot motivation and effort. Good luck young man.

                            I wouldn't be surprised if a few of these UFAs make it to the roster. They have lots of depth to build up.

                              We need hungry young players that want to prove that they belong, and that they're out to take lazy players roster spots.
