I'll be watching all the defensive guys
of course. I am really curious about Quinton Coples for some reason. I think it’s because as the #1 DE he isn’t getting the attention that the top DE should get. Imagine if the #1 DE slid to where we go go up and grab him. Him and Ayers switching in and out of the lineup would be outstanding.
I also want to see Terrance Ganaway, he’s a 241 pound RB with 4.62 speed. I like the sound of him. A FB/RB type. Who needs Tolbert :).
Digger24 - January 23, 2012
Courtney Upshaw weighed in at 273 lbs
that’ll probably slow him down and he’ll most likely slim down by the combine but at that weight he might be able to play LE in a 4-3. Upshaw is my favorite player on this roster and I’d love for him to show he could play in a 4-3 and then drop to us on draft day. It’s incredibly unlikely he makes it out of the top 20 but still, love to have him.
AlbertaBronc - January 23, 2012
He's just like Ayers.
What makes him better than Ayers?
Digger24 - January 23, 2012
He actually collected sacks in college
Not the flashiest pass rusher but still manages to hit the QB a lot and he always shows up big when it matters most. He was Alabama’s MVP on defense in the BC$ championship game. Every time I watched Bama this year, he was making huge plays in the backfield against both the run and pass.
AlbertaBronc - January 23, 2012
thanks for mocking the BC$, Alberta :)
the new Bradfather - January 24, 2012
I dont think he has the size to hold up
He is bigger than Doom, but I don’t think big enough. I would think he has to be projected as a 3-4 OLB doesn’t he? I agree he can rush the passer, but we need a 300+# guy that can rush the passer to go with Doom and Von.
brettden - January 23, 2012
I agree completely
and I don’t think 273 is the best weight for him either. It’s just if he shows up this week and proves he can play in DE in a 4-3 (which is the position he will play at the senior bowl) I would absolutely kill for him to be on this team. Yes I know he’s not the big 3 technique we need but if he’s available when we are picking (which is an insane longshot) he would be by far BPA and EFX would be insane to pass.
AlbertaBronc - January 23, 2012
Don't forget most people had Von Miller pegged as a 3-4 only player till the senior bowl
where he changed a fair bit of minds
AlbertaBronc - January 23, 2012
Here are the guys I'll have my eye on
Terrance Ganaway RB (241 lbs? If he is fast then yes please)
Emmanuel Acho (has some experience playing MLB in college. wonder if he could transition)
Quinton Coples DE (could be lethal opposite Doom)
Jeff Fuller (Tall WR with good size. How fast is he and will he get separation?)
Melvin Ingram DE (another possible 1st round pass rusher)
Brandon Thompson DT
Dwight Jones WR (another big bodied WR)
BroncoMath101 - January 23, 2012
I say yes
to Coples and Thompson, or one or the other I don’t care. Just get one of these guys on our roster. Better yet find a way to get both of these guys on our roster!
brettden - January 23, 2012
Looking at that roster their is a lot of pure talent at DT on that roster
players who never reached their full potential
Tydreke Powell
Kheeston Randall
Jaye Howard
Tony Jerod-Eddie
Any one of those players has the potential to blow up this weekend. Throw in Thompson and a couple of the best pass rushers in the league and a sick DL.
AlbertaBronc - January 23, 2012
*some of the best pass rushers in college and you got a sick DL
AlbertaBronc - January 23, 2012
We need safetys and corners
and the biggest DB listed is just over 6’ and 200 Lbs. These guys aren’t going to be able to cover the Gronkowskis of the NFL.
firstfan - January 23, 2012
I like Coples, Dwight Jones, Zach Brown, Jeff Fuller
Cordy Glenn, Casey Heyward, Brandon Thompson, Terrance Ganaway, Andre Branch, Vick Ballard
Scotty Payne - January 23, 2012
They're all interesting prospects...
I think Mike Mayock and crew will be doing practice analysis all week on NFL Network…
bfree2bronc - January 23, 2012
yeah NFLN will be covering it all week
Scotty Payne - January 23, 2012
Janoris Jenkins and Casey Hayward are the guys to watch
We might (fingers crossed) be able to get Jenkins in the late 1st and we could probably (fingers crossed again) get Hayward in the 3rd. Both of those guys would be day 1 starters IMO.
ElwayFanJ - January 23, 2012
Would anybody object if EFX drafted Brandon Weeden QB in the 5th? Age (28) concerns but good arm...
bfree2bronc - January 23, 2012
Nope, i wouldnt object to any QB drafted after the 4th round
i still want Russell Wilson though
Scotty Payne - January 23, 2012
I say pass on this guy
Too little and if we compare him to Brees (similar size) he has had nowhere near the production, and nowhere near the amount of passing offense instruction that Brees got in college. I suppose he will show his stuff in the game (is he in this game?). But I am thinking he will take several years before he is ready to read and distribute in the nfl.
brettden - January 23, 2012
I think I'd rather develop a B.J. Coleman in rd 5 instead.
BroncoMath101 - January 23, 2012
Arkansas WR Joe Adams is a very versatile player and very fast...4.38/40
bfree2bronc - January 23, 2012
One of the toughest football players I’ve ever watched play. He is #2 on the Arkansas all-time list for either receptions or yards (can’t remember which — Jarius Wright is #1 on both of them, and Adams is close enough that it wasn’t clear until the year ended who would hold that record).
Great addition as a punt returner.
If anyone is interested, I can show some examples of Joe’s toughness.
BroncosBassist - January 24, 2012
Hmm, my youtube links didn't post...
Let me see if I can fix that…
http://youtu.be/0M8sU8f_Aes – This is here in case the hyperlink doesn’t work.
http://youtu.be/0M8sU8f_Aes
This return is kind of an example of bad decision making turning out ok against lesser competition (Missouri State in this case), but it’s still a TD. :)
http://youtu.be/z_mMERZ6fRo
I got sucked into watching youtube videos for a few minutes and had to post this one. It’s a great example of his speed — and balance, I guess.

Bizarre. Apparently using the link button doesn't work, but pasting the URL into the text does.
Yay.
BroncosBassist - January 24, 2012
Yeah, complicated huh...Joe Adams > Eddie Royal and Matt Willis...
bfree2bronc - January 24, 2012
I like Joe's potential more than Royal and Willis,
but he hasn’t played a down in the NFL just yet. He certainly will be cheaper than Eddie, that’s for sure.
