Rey Maualuga! Broncos, dont mess this up!!!!Please!!!!

I am official back on the Draft Rey Maualuga bandwagon. I admit that I went cold on him but after listening to Mark Schereff on ESPN. He said Maualuga would bring back the Hard Hitting Style that Al (our defense went down hill once he got hurt) Wilson had.


Denver's Starting LB's with Maualuga



Elvis Dumervil-------Rey Maualuga-----Andra Davis--------DJ Williams.


That looks pretty good to me.

BACK FROM THE DARK SIDE! Way to go!

Agreed we need starters. However, I have a feeling that Seattle is not going to pick Sanchez, and we will have a decision to make whether to trade up or not. I think if the decision is made to trade up, that we should try to trade up from both 1st round picks to get the players we want. Rey will not be around at 18.

Orton will be a better QB then you guys think. If he doesn't work out this year there are better QB's in next years draft.

I like the looks of that linebacking corp with Rey.

muauluga

its maualuga for sure with the number 12 pick and here is why. hes a 250 lbs run stoper, hes the biggest hitter in the draft and he ran a 4.6 40 at his pro day with a hurt hamstring

[crash123go]

the real Q is who is going with the 18 malcolm jenkins, ziggy hood, or james laurinaitis

its maualuga and his lowest recorded time was 4.65 most say overall the times averaged out to 4.69 or 4.70. thats pretty good but a few tenths of a second over forty yards is not going to matter for a linebacker who will average about 20 yards run a play. forty times not only take a back seat to position workouts, they were told to get out and walk. his bench is nothing impressive either, and it will take alot more strength to shed an nfl lineman than a pac 10 lineman. that conference is dropping off fast, at this point even with usc if the talent levels are averaged they are worse than the mountain west

My guess if we went Rey Maualuga at 12.



Peria Jerry at 18. The #2 DT in the Draft. 6'2" 299lbs



We would have the #1 ILB and #2 DT.

its possible he will drop that far but i doubt it
he is much better than tyson jackson, that would be a quality pick
not good enough at shedding blocks to play in a 3-4

I would rather have a fresh Doom 10-15% of the time. Doom is getting paid nothing, we bring in a guy that would be a situational guy for 1st round money who might not even beat out Doom in training camp?

I agree that Doom can not line up as a 3-4 DE. Can you move him around on pass situations and causes huge match-up problems? Yes. Can you imagine Doom being blocked by a RB or TE?

All I want is a guy at #12 that will start day one. #18 is a luxury at this point, but I would like to see a starter picked there too.

The pay really doesn't factor in, but you only have 53 roster slots. That's more of the reason I think that Elvis is a liability unless he proves me wrong and excels at OLB in the 3-4. I just think he's going to be lost at the position, as I don't see him doing well trying to shed blocks by TEs and Tackles from a two point stance. If they play him as a LB/DE hybrid similar to what Baltimore does, then I could see it maybe working, but that's still a big if. I know he doesn't cost much, but we have cap room to spare so that's a non-issue. But if he's only on the field 10-15% of the time on the D, unless he can contribute big time to special teams it's a waste of roster space.
