Jared Odrick

[The Hamburgler]

Odrick is a flat out beast!

[ERoyal248]

No matter how some people feel about Fry, McD said that he liked Fry coming out of college. I'm not saying that we won't draft a center, but i believe we will draft a center in the 3rd rd, and let them battle for it. I still think that is the reason why we didn't sign Hadnot, because we wouldn't guarantee him the job.

That is true, McD may be high on Fry, im expecting a center sometime in the 1st 3 rounds, either Pouncey, Walton or Tennant. Maybe Fry is a gem, who knows. But with the DL, we already have 7 players there, we dont have much room there, i'd like a impact player right away. But anywhere wouldnt surprise me.

I would really like pouncey. maybe walton but definatly not tennant, he is terrible.

McDaniels also liked Blake Schleuter coming out of college. Oh wait...

Relying on Dustin Fry (a guy who's been with 4 different NFL teams in his 3 NFL seasons) and a 3rd round rookie to battle for the starting Center job (arguably the second most important position on the offensive line behind LT) is just way too much risk.

We didn't sign Hadnot because we couldn't match the contract he was demanding. He was one of our first free agent visits set up. You set up a free agent visit almost immediately with a player you intend to sign.

Thats why pouncey should be at the top of our priority list

I'm not relying on Fry, but i'm not kicking him to the curb neither. O-Lineman is not a sexy position. They always get cut, sit on the practice squad, go undrafted. That's just the nature of the O-line. Different position, but it help make my point. James Harrison got cut from the Ravens PS 4 times, now look at him. Just because Fry didn't make it on other teams doesn't mean that he wouldn't be a good fit for us. For all we know, Fry could have everything McD wants in a Center.

Well he is a big boy which what mcdaniels said he wanted to do this offseason, get bigger

Dustin Fry-6-3 height/326 pounds
Casey Wiegnmann-6-2 height/285 pounds

that doesnt mean he is better though

[marktippins1981]

Odrick seems to be the only player that 'most' people don't complain about. I say we get him at #11, but McClain or Williams would be fine with me too.

Want Eric Berry tho'

i have a feeling dennison had a say in schuleter as well since he was a ZBS guy......schuleter was cut when MCD realized he had zero power.....

Dustin Fry ...

No matter how some people feel about Fry, McD said that he liked Fry coming out of college. I'm not saying that we won't draft a center, but i believe we will draft a center in the 3rd rd, and let them battle for it. I still think that is the reason why we didn't sign Hadnot, because we wouldn't guarantee him the job.

... came out of college in 2007. His last college football season was 2006. Since then, he has been on the practice squads of three different NFL teams.

It would be a big step forward in his NFL career if he just made the 53 man roster of the 2010 Broncos.

It would be a giant step forward for him to challenge for a starting spot.

I wish him well. Maybe he'll surprise.

An every down ...

Glad more people are coming around:salute!:

I really like Odrick. As many of us have mentioned before, Green is not an every down DE. Odrick would be the perfect player to rotate with him as a rookie.

I think it is pretty likely he is our pick at 11.

Nice post:go:

... 5 tech. is definitely one of the needs the Broncos will attempt to address in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Jared Odrick could be a good 5 tech. Most DI college teams play a 4-3 D, and Odrick was a 3 tech primarily.

That's OK. College DL drafted into a 3-4 D must adjust.

The warning flags Odrick once had seem to have mostly disappeared.

DL is a need, but not the only one. OL needs attention as well.

Some say a #11 draft pick should be starter material. Some say only a position which needs a starter right away should be picked.

Jared Odrick isn't ranked as high as other prospects. If he was the 1st rounder for the Broncos, I'm down with that as long as OL gets some attention immediately following.

I think Mat'hir Uth Gan recently had a mock draft that went: Jared Odrick, JD Walton, Marshall Newhouse, Eric Olsen, Micah Johnson and a P (either Mesko or Dodge). That addresses everything except RB.

[The Experience]

Odrick would be a great cornerstone to build our DL around. That is the thing about this draft. There is so many great players available it will be hard for McD to screw up, especially inthe first 3 rounds. I'm sure I will be very happy with whoever the Broncos pick in the 1st.
