WalterFootball is usually pretty good with draft projections has reported that CJ's stock is slipping due to a possible knee issue. Insiders are saying he could fall to the top of the 2nd round. I really like Mosley at MLB with the 31st pick. If it's true, I'd hate to see us pass on him the same we passed on Lacy because of possible knee issues. Ball definitley progressed at the end of the season, but Lacy was a stud all year.

Originally posted by causticon View PostI completely agree with this. He's really the only true 3 down ILB in the draft for a 4-3. I'm not convinced Shazier can play middle.
Mosley is dropping because of injury history and the fact he was originally over valued as a Alabama product. Mosley is a late 2nd/3rd round prospect too me.A healthy Kenneth Dixon is a top 5 NFL RB.

I'm researching all of them because I think ILB is by far our biggest need. I like Avery Williamson, but only as a project with upside while providing special teams. Tripp and Smith both project more as OLB's. I like Skov in 3rd/4th round more than a lot bigger names. The problem is, if we get a 2-down thumper, who's going to play nickel LB?

Originally posted by champ&dreallday View PostI don't know about that. Mosley was getting hyped by draft analysts and the media. He's very legit and seems NFL ready at MLB. His stock is only dropping becaue of possible knee injury, similar to Lacy.
It's because he went to Bama and the hype they get when they come out, a lot of their prospects dont pan out right away.
Good, sure, maybe worth taking at 31, but it would depend who else is on the board.

Mosley has some stud characteristics. He's not getting overhyped on these boards. He has impressive instincts and range, especially in pass coverage. He's also a leader.
Read these comparisons from NFL professional personnel men:

However, his health is a major concern. And he's not great at taking on blockers because he's tall and skinny. He probably fits best as a 43 Will to be honest. He may slip on draft day for a few of those reasons.Go Broncos!!!:thumb:

You like Mosley but think Williamson is a project? you do know Williamson played in the SEC just like Mosley, out performed Mosley's combine numbers and was in the top 10 in the FBS 2 years in a row in tackles.
we would be lucky to land a talent like Jordan Tripp who in my honest opinion compares very much to Luke Keuchly type talent at linebacker. If he wouldve went to a big time football program he would be the top linebacker in this draftA healthy Kenneth Dixon is a top 5 NFL RB.
