Elway now targeting MLB: Beason or Smith?

[CRL8]

Borland is exactly what I'm talking about. Equally the same talent as Mosley and can be had without overreaching for him in the second!

Now, this I agree with.. I agree that we shouldn't give up a ton to trade up to get Mosley but I seriously believe Mosley is a Luke Kuechly type. Are his instincts as good? No, but close. Is his speed as good? No, but close. Can he do everything well? Yes. I believe Mosley is a better cover linebacker than Kuechly was and I also think that Mosley can blitz better than Kuechly can.

Instincts: Kuechly > Mosley
Speed: Kuechly > Mosley
Tackling: Kuechly > Mosley
Coverage: Kuechly < Mosley
Blitzing: Kuechly <<< Mosley
Durability: Kuechly >> Mosley

I still say Kuechly is the better prospect, but the gap is not nearly as much as you think. If he makes it to the twenties, we have to trade up for him. Regardless of how I feel about Borland. Borland is my favorite prospect in the draft, and if we don't land Mosley, we need to make sure to get Borland in the 2nd or trade up in the 3rd for him. I don't like Skov for our defense unless we transition to more 3-4 looks, and I don't like Yamin Smallwood at all.

Ryan Shazier is also a good prospect. Borland running 4.8 40 at the combine is a red flag.

40 times don't matter for a guy like Borland. The guy is 100% all instinct! Trevathan ran a slow 40 time as well

Now, this I agree with.. I agree that we shouldn't give up a ton to trade up to get Mosley but I seriously believe Mosley is a Luke Kuechly type. Are his instincts are good? No, but close. Is his speed as good? No, but close. Can he do everything well? Yes. I believe Mosley is a better cover linebacker than Kuechly was and I also think that Mosley can blitz better than Kuechly can.

No way in hell Mosley is better than Kuechly in coverage.

Definitely didn't mean to put two greater than signs for Mosley, but I do think he is every bit as good as Kuechly was in college as a coverage guy he is more valuable because he can not only cover with the best of them, he can blitz effectively which Kuechly can't do as well. Look, I'm not saying he is Kuechly or better.. Don't want to start that debate because I would take Kuechly over Mosley any day of the week. I'm simply saying the gap isn't as wide as some think and I think Mosley is better at some things than Kuechly. Things that could help our defense tremendously.

I know people think Mosley is great but those Mosley fans need to check out my boy Avery Williamson MLB Kentucky! Top 5 in the SEC in tackles 2 years in a row, a true MLB stud! His stats would've been better if Kentucky could recruit dlineman like they do linebackers. All his game film he fits offensive lineman all game.

The guy has instincts for days and knows how to lay the big hit!! Anything Mosley can do, Williamson can do. Bet on it! This guy is going to be a bigger steal in the draft then trevathan. I just hope Elway takes him.

You feel bad watching his games cause there is almost zero talent around him. That dline is like a sieve, just bleeds offensive lineman right through it. Williamson covers up a lot of holes for that team

Danny ran a 4.48 at his pro day. Just saying... but i agree it doesnt matter. And i have been on board with Borland for a while. Even if we decide to target a MLB i still want one to get drafted he could sit and learn for a year. Borlands a beast he needs to be in denver.

I like Yawin Smallwood would love to see us get him in the second round he is big, athletic and has a lot of production

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 5m
Giants gave LB Jon Beason a three-year, $19M deal that includes $7M gtd and $12M in first two years. Agent did a great job with deal.


rats!

[bronco30]

I would prefer to go with Brandon Spikes. He's a mean SOB

Unless we move to a 3-4, he doesnt really fit our scheme at all.
