The draft

The Draft
1) Dan Williams DT 6’2’’ 330lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlpTXHZuDQo
Dan Williams is your prototypical two gap run stuffer. He is a big wide body who can play as a DT in a 4-3 or the 0 technique in a 3-4. Has a lot of power, especially in his lower body, his legs are bigger than a lot of players chests, and he uses them to get a nice push. Can take on double teams which allows linebackers to get through with less contact. Has a nice quick burst, gets leverage quickly and has a low centre of gravity which enables him to stand his ground. Is excellent against the run, protects the middle of the line, and ie he gets his hands on you, he will ride you to the ground. He uses his body weight to bring players down quickly. He has very solid instincts and awareness, recognises the play and moves to the correct point to give his team the best chance to snuff it out. Has brute strength and uses the bull rush well to decrease the pocket size. Won't astound you on the stat sheet, but he does what a NT needs to do, and that's occupy blockers.

2) Tyson Alualu DE 6’3’’ 295lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sru8xav0kPI
"Well, you know, he's multi-dimensional, he could play tackle, he can play end," said Schwartz before interrupting himself to talk about a fumble the North Team had just recovered for a touchdown. "Well anyway, number one, he is a hard-working kid. He's tough. He had probably the best work week of anybody we have. Great motor, great kid, played inside and outside. I think he really helped himself this week down here at the Senior Bowl."
Senior Bowl, Monday: Cal defensive lineman Tyson Alualu is not the strongest or quickest player up front this week, but always seemed to be around the ball because of his outstanding hustle. He pumped up his teammates and was often the first to greet them after they made a play. His ability to play outside at 291 pounds will also endear him to line coaches around the league. - Chad Reuter,
3) Toby Gerhart RB 6’1’’ 235lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXyTCJ2yTP8
A power back with excellent speed, Gerhart is simply too powerful for many LB and especially defensive backs to handle. He runs with no fear and can surprise defenders with a good burst through the middle. Able to plow through defenders or bounce of them, Gerhart possesses the sound feet and balance to keep plays alive, pushing forward for extra yards with defenders draped over him. Lacks an extra, breakaway gear but has the speed to get outside and makes life miserable for corners trying to bring him down. Shows great patience in letting the play develop and the vision to find a crease. His strength carries over into pass protection and he’s already proficient in this area.

4) Alterraun Verner CB 5’10’’ 182lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj1cgPTTcxk
Verner lacks the top gear speed necessary to catch up to a receiver after the player has gotten behind him and he'll likely need a safety over the top to help him. But that's where the weaknesses stop. He's a very instinctive leader who knows how to make all the plays he needs to make. Alterraun has smooth hips that allow him to change direction quickly and effeciently. He has a good burst of acceleration that allows him to make jumps on balls a la Rashean Mathis and keep up with receivers quickly off the line. However, this has gotten him in trouble on double moves, also a la Rashean Mathis, so again, needs a safety over the top

5) Traded

6) Danario Alexander WR 6’4’’ 205lbs [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTDP19DFQjk[/url
]Alexander is an extremely productive WR that has followed well in the footsteps of Jeremy Maclin. He will need to improve his strength to thrive against press coverage in the NFL, but if he can get his hands on the ball - watch out.

7) Will Barker RT 6’7’’ 306lbs
The starting right tackle for the Cavaliers while three on the left side -- D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Branden Albert and Eugene Monroe -- all went on to become first-round picks, scouts certainly know Barker.Pass blocking: At least adequate depth on his initial kick slide. Good initial pop to slow the pass rusher and allow himself time to get into position. Long arms and good upper body strength to catch the defensive end. Plays on the balls of his feet and has good balance in pass protection. Lacks the athleticism to recover if beaten initially. Can get caught leaning outside and give up the inside to a quick spin move.

Run blocking: Good initial pop to knock the defensive end on his heels. Good hand placement to turn and control his opponent when he keeps his pad level low, but can get sloppy with his pad level and hand placement. Too often plays high, negating his own strength. Lets his hands slip outside the numbers, which will earn flags for holding against NFL athletes. Better quickness for the cut block than you'd expect for a player his size. Good effort to get to the second level. Looks for someone to hit. Seems to enjoy the physicality of run blocking. Keeps his feet moving to sustain his block, but struggles with balance and spends too much time on the ground.

Pulling/trapping: Shows some initial quickness in getting off the line and has good straight-line speed and balance for a man his size. He can re-direct to hit the moving target, but once engaged has a tendency to lose his feet.

UDFA
1) Erik Cook C 6’6’’ 318lbs
2) Thomas Austin G or C 6’4 310lbs
3) Joe Pawelek ILB 6’2’’ 240lbs
4) Terrell Hudgins WR 6’2’’ 235lbs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taH2OGiBrAc
5) Tim Heller QB 6’5 212lbs

Got my prospect rankings here : http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/p...s?&start_row=1 So please don’t argue where they may go cause no one really knows.

Hadnot sucks. If you want to give credit to somebody for Harrison finishing the year on a strong note - thank the Chiefs horrid defense of last year. Also, Broncos a "better team"? Last I checked the Broncos are in the same boat as the Browns. Sitting at home instead of in the playoffs. Also, your team is in a rebuilding stage as well.

So, "better team". No, try "same exact situation".

Denver 8-8
Cleveland 5-11

Denver 2nd in there division
Cleveland last in there division

Denver close to a post seaon
Cleveland close to hell

Yeah I'd say Denver is a better team, oh and if you dont want him we will take him. Harris, Hadnot, Rabach, Amano, Clady i'll take it. Thank you. Also McD loves versatility Hadnot has started as a guard and a center, so has Amano. Even if Kuper starts at RG over him he brings depth at two positions which could pay dividens down towards the end of the season when injuries starts to hurt teams.

Charlie... I think you have to take their records into account. Cleveland was a sub-.500 team last year and that puts them just below the middle of the pack, where the Broncos currently reside. Denver was in the hunt for a place in the post-season until the very end whereas Cleveland was nowhere close. In the big scheme of things, yes, it doesn't really mean jack if you don't make it to the big game, but you can't really lump the two franchises into the same boat just yet. I respect you defending your team but I think you have to accept they let you down badly for most of last season. I hope both our respective franchises find success next year.

[elway 1987]

Kona Bronco I agree with you on all the free agent signings except for the Chad Pennington one. I think a three year deal is way to long for somebody coming off his third shoulder surgery in as many years. With that being said I would not mind bringing him in on a one year deal.

I some what agree, but I see Pennington not only as a back up but as a coach to either Tom Brandtarter or any other young QB we may get. That alone could prove to be valuable. He was a decent QB before his injuries and should beable to teach a young QB alot while KO is taking the reps at practice.

[JayJack]

I also have Terrell Hudgins as an UDFA too. To me there are two things that will keep him from being drafted, the school he plays for and his speed (4.68), but this guy has Shattered Jerry Rice's Record in recieving yards. Rice has 4,693-Hudgins has 5,250. I think he can play reciever in the NFL, but with his lack of speed and i'm not sure about his route running, i don't see him being a #1or #2 reciever.

I really would like to know how well he can block, because at 6'3 235 (gain about 10 more pounds) and the receiving skills he has, he would be a very good TE, almost like a Vernon Davis without the speed.

[ChangAlang24]

if you want to compare teams, you can look at

1. their records, denver 8-8, Cleveland, 5-11

2. most recent head to head matchup: we all know how that went lolz

so i cant really see how we are in the same boat as the Browns. I guess as far as front office changes both staffs are relatively new, but thats about it. Browns have needs at almost every single position. Not the case with Denver. You could ask any nfl analyst or expert or whoever you want to, not just me, a broncos homer, and there is no way Denver is in the same boat as cleveland...a pointless arguement. sorry.

Close only counts in horseshoes. You were either in the playoffs or you were not.

Denver = not in playoffs
Cleveland = not in playoffs

So, same exact situation. Outside looking in.

Next time they hand the trophy to a team that "almost" made it then you have an argument.

[Charlie Brown]

Need to move this to smack.

No need to move it to smack. I'm not talking smack here. I was stating the obvious. That neither the Broncos nor the Browns made the playoffs. So, Hadnot would not be leaving for a "better" team.

[elway 1987]

Granted I would rather see him as the back-up instead of Simms.
