Game thread: Senior Bowl, 4 P.M. EST, ESPN

[Clockwork Orange]

Since we're in offseason mode, I figure we can have the game thread for the top college all-star game here on the main board.

Could be a future Bronco or two playing today.

[-Slap-]

Thanks, Clockwork, I nearly forgot to schedule the Tivo.

[ro_50]

Yep - about to watch it from work. I want to see T. Hall from Penn St. and am interested in Darryl Tapp from VA Tech.

[elsid13]

Want to check out Mike Bell out of Arizona.

[Clockwork Orange]

Thanks, Clockwork, I nearly forgot to schedule the Tivo.

Glad to help. :)

I'm most interested in watching Tamba Hali & Eric Winston. Either one looks like they'd be a nice addition if they're there at 22.

Sucks that Kiwanuka pulled out with an injury.

I'm recording all the All Star games now and I'll be watching them over and over for Baby Bronco sightings after the Draft.

[Clockwork Orange]

I caught some of the reruns of the weeks practices last night on NFL Network. D'Brickashaw Ferguson is a friggin' monster. Every time I saw him he dominated the guy in front of him. Whoever gets him is gonna make their QB very happy for a long time.

[Clockwork Orange]

Christ, Kiper's hair is getting bigger.

[ro_50]

I've been to that stadium, nice area and stadium.

[ro_50]

Cutler has a rocket for an arm.

[Clockwork Orange]

Hagan with a drop. They say he's been doing that all week. Not helping his cause at all.

[Clockwork Orange]

Cutler has a rocket for an arm.

He just floated one up nicely too for a 35 yard gain. Nice touch.

[SoCalBronco]

Hagan with a drop. They say he's been doing that all week. Not helping his cause at all.

Yep. He has gone from a late 1st to a 3rd this week.

[-Slap-]

Christ, Kiper's hair is getting bigger.
Kiper's hair is the reason I invested in HDTV.

[Clockwork Orange]

Kiper's hair is the reason I invested in HDTV.

I need to get a bigger TV to fit it all on my screen.

[-Slap-]

Yep. He has gone from a late 1st to a 3rd this week.
On the other hand, TE Dominique Byrd is moving up the board.

[Clockwork Orange]

Cutler picked off. Great play by Griffin.

[ro_50]

What a pick by Griffith.

[Clockwork Orange]

Little trickery there. Sinorice Moss (SoCal's favorite) takes the reverse for a nice gain.

[-Slap-]

I need to get a bigger TV to fit it all on my screen.
I found the delineation of the individual strands completely mesmerizing.

[-Slap-]

Man, you really hate to see anybody get injured in one of these games.

http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/denver/LepsisDen.jpg

[Slade]

That was an amazing INT! That guy has CB skills to be sure.

[Slade]

Good vision by Williams on his first carry. I didn't like the hesitation, but I didnt see that huge hole on the right side.

[Clockwork Orange]

Hali gets his hands up and knocks a pass down. Do Bronco DE's ever do that?

[ro_50]

I hate to see injuries in this game.

[ro_50]

Broncos DE's never get in position to have their hands up to knock down passes because they are always getting abused by the OL.

[ro_50]

I really want to see Hank Bassett play, that WR, he's big, like 6'4 and fairly athletic.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nice run by Humes. According to nfldraftcountdown.com, Bronco scouts were talking to him this week.

[Clockwork Orange]

Another ill advised throw by Cutler. Looked pretty shaky on that drive. I wonder if that INT is in his head.

[Clockwork Orange]

Yipes, Torp shanks one. That's very unlike him.

[Slade]

Cutler looked solid on the first drive, but he really forced that pass that was INT. He threw it hard to Hagan and it was behind him.

[Clockwork Orange]

DeAngelo Williams is doing nothing to hurt his stock.

He'd be amazing in our system.

[Clockwork Orange]

TD to Sinorice Moss. Bit of an errant throw by Croyle, but Moss got separation from the DB and made a nice catch.

[ro_50]

What a catch by Moss. That was remarkable.

[Slade]

That DB was Hill from Clemson, who supposedly was the best DB all week, but he got burned on the double move by Moss!

[Clockwork Orange]

They double teamed Hali on that play with Winston & someone else.

[Clockwork Orange]

Klopfenstein!! !Booya! :homer:

[Clockwork Orange]

Whitehurst looking pretty solid so far.

[Clockwork Orange]

Vickers!! !Booya! :homer:

[Clockwork Orange]

What a grab by Klopfenstein for the TD. Nice. :yep:

[SoCalBronco]

CU players impressing.

[Clockwork Orange]

CU players impressing.

Your boy Sinorice isn't embarassing himself. 27 yards on a reverse and then the great TD catch.

[SoCalBronco]

Your boy Sinorice isn't embarassing himself. 27 yards on a reverse and then the great TD catch.

He's playing well. I still think he is overrated and a 4th round talent.

Ive been trying to watch Winston and Setterstrom on the OL but the TV makes it hard with their shifting angles.

If somehow DeAngelo Williams makes it to 22...

[-Slap-]

I think Dominique Byrd is going to outperform some of the more highly touted TE propects at the next level. His numbers were limited in college by all the blue chippers who shared the field with him.

[SoCalBronco]

Byrd reminds me of Byron Chamberlain. He is talented, but very, very soft.

[Clockwork Orange]

If somehow DeAngelo Williams makes it to 22...

I'd faint if he fell into our laps at 22.

[Breck Bronc]

Byrd reminds me of Byron Chamberlain. He is talented, but very, very soft.SoCal, who's softer, Domonique Byrd or Chad Jackson?

[ro_50]

I dont see Denver taking a RB in the first round.

BTW, in this game, you are not allowed to blitz.

[-Slap-]

Byrd reminds me of Byron Chamberlain. He is talented, but very, very soft.
Great hands, though, and at 6'3", 260, soft or not, he's going to break some tackles downfield.

[-Slap-]

I'd faint if he fell into our laps at 22.
DeAngelo Williams has the NCAA record for most 100 yard games, I believe. Emmitt Smith was the same height.

[Clockwork Orange]

DeAngelo Williams has the NCAA record for most 100 yard games, I believe. Emmitt Smith was the same height.

He's got the kind of vision that made TD so successful in the Broncos system.

He also carried the ball 300+ times in both his junior & senior seasons, so he's shown he can carry the load.

[-Slap-]

DeAngelo Williams sets NCAA rushing record (http://gotigersgo.collegesports.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/122605aaa.html).

DETROIT (AP) - DeAngelo Williams lived up to the hype.

Williams set an NCAA record with his 34th 100-yard rushing game and scored three touchdowns, leading Memphis to a 38-31 victory over Akron in the Motor City Bowl on Monday.

Williams ran for 238 yards on 31 carries and finished his career with 6,026 yards rushing - trailing only Ron Dayne, Ricky Williams and Tony Dorsett in Division I-A history - and an NCAA-record 7,573 all-purpose yards.

"I'm really not a statistical guy, but when you mention those guys, it's huge," Williams said.

[ro_50]

I would love to see D'Angelo in a Bronco uni.

[-Slap-]

He only set the NCAA record with 7,573 all purpose yards. It would be amazing if they overanalyzed this kid enough to drop him to 22.

[Clockwork Orange]

He only set the NCAA record with 7,573 all purpose yards. It would be amazing if they overanalyzed this kid enough to drop him to 22.

People talked as if the sky was falling when he measured in at 5'8 1/2 instead of 5'10.

[ro_50]

Thats how some people are in the media or those in scouting - they freak out over an inch or weight.

[Breck Bronc]

Marcus McNeil for TE!

[ro_50]

Awesome, my boy Marcus McNeill. WAR EAGLE!!!!!!

Look at that agility by the big man.

[Clockwork Orange]

Marcus McNeil for TE!

Tackle eligible!

[Clockwork Orange]

Kiper's top 5 movers this week.

Brodie Croyle, QB, Alabama
Dominique Byrd, TE, USC
Nick Mangold, OL, Ohio State
Charles Spencer, OG, Pitt
Tye Hill, CB, Clemson

[elsid13]

DJ Shocky real looked bad in that first half. Threw into a lot of double coverage. Hagan really didn't look good either. Was impressed with Whitehurst, Moss, and Williams.

[Clockwork Orange]

Kiper's guys who solidified their stock this week.

D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, UVA
DeAngelo Williams, RB, Memphis
Chad Greenway, LB, Iowa

[Mediator12]

Excellent. Bunkley has stayed under the Radar today. He has been getting all the double teams from Mangold and Davin Joseph to counter his release.

Haralson has looked good. What happened to Kiwi that he withdrew? I missed that.

I believe it was reported as a shoulder injury.

[Mediator12]

I believe it was reported as a shoulder injury.

I thought his ego might have been hurt getting owned by Ferguson in Drills all week ;D Dude looked real weak in practice.

[Rohirrim]

I wouldn't touch Hagan with a 4th round pick. He looks like a lesser version of Darius Watts. I'll bet Klopfenstein moves up a bit after today.

[Clockwork Orange]

Marcedes Lewis has been invisible so far today.

[Clockwork Orange]

Hackney looked like a poor man's Jarious Jackson on that series.

[Clockwork Orange]

Derek Hagan caught one!

[scorpio]

Klopfenstein getting some love from the announcers

[Rohirrim]

Man, that was something seeing Dbrickashaw getting beat inside by Anderson of Alabama. Anderson looks pretty quick for a big guy. Person of interest.

[Breck Bronc]

I missed it, who got kicked out?

[Clockwork Orange]

I missed it, who got kicked out?

Trueblood and some guy from Tennessee. They just said that the coaches talked to the refs and the players will be allowed to come back into the game.

There's a sack by Hali. He's now got a sack, a pass batted down and has been double teamed in this game. He's not hurting his stock today.

Thanks.

[Rohirrim]

I'm beginning to not give a shiite about Santorice Moss's height. He runs crisp routes, he flies down the field, he's got great bloodlines and he catches the damn ball. What's not to like?

[Clockwork Orange]

Hackney's got better as this game has gone along. Nice pass for the TD.

[elsid13]

He isn't being jammed at the line of scrimmage they are playing simple zone coverages. Moss will be great 4th reciever but that it. I really disappointed with the QBs and WR in this game.

[Clockwork Orange]

DeAngelo Williams showed some serious burst on that screen pass. Wow.

[Clockwork Orange]

Make that two sacks for Tamba Hali. He beat a double team and brought the QB down with one hand. Wow again.

[-Slap-]

Hali is eating his guy alive one on one.

[Rohirrim]

Tamba Hali! Man. That's the kind of speed rusher the Broncos could use.

[-Slap-]

They actually had Hali playing out of position at DT earlier in his career, which indicates to me that he's quite strong for his size.

[Clockwork Orange]

Watching him rush the passer leaves no doubt that he's fast as all get out.

He may have very well played his way out of our range today, but Kiwanuka could be falling to us at 22.

[Clockwork Orange]

North receivers aren't doing Cutler any favors right now.

[-Slap-]

I wouldn't be opposed to drafting them both, if available.

[Breck Bronc]

Man, these punt returners are having a bad day across the board.

[scorpio]

hahahahah,

"How windy is it?"

"Well, it's not windy enough to disrupt Mel Kiper's hair yet."

[Clockwork Orange]

Bunkley nearly picked one off there. Elvis Dumervil has actually got some decent pressure on a couple of recent plays.

[-Slap-]

Hagan sighting.

[Clockwork Orange]

Hagan hangs on to one there for the TD.

[-Slap-]

Fisher took the water bucket dousing better than I expected.

[Clockwork Orange]

My tentative Broncos first day (barring any trades):

1a. Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College
1b. Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA
2. Greg Eslinger, C, Minnesota
3. Omar Jacobs, QB, Bowling Green
3 (comp). Elvis Dumervil, DE, Louisville

[SouthStndJunkie]

1b. Marcedes Lewis, TE, UCLA

3. Omar Jacobs, QB, Bowling Green

I think Omar Jacobs is vastly overrated. I have had a chance to see him many times as I live 30 minutes from Bowling Green.

He tends to lock into his receivers. Not enamored his mechanics at all (delivery, footwork)....and now you can add durabilty as a question mark as well.

There are reasons the NFL advisory council told him he would be a 4th rounder...probably the same ones I just listed.

He is a product of the system....Josh Harris put up good numbers before him and he is out of the league the last I checked. Alex Smith is a product of the same system as well.

I haven't seen nearly as much of Jacobs as you have, so I'll take your word for it. The few times I got to see him pay he looked pretty sharp.

[SoCalBronco]

This would be a nice haul if we could pull it off

1A. Tamba Hali, DE Penn State- Good, solid all around DE, still a little raw and doesnt do one particular thing extremely well, but solid in general.
1B. Laurence Maroney, HB Minnesota- Very good runner, threat to take it the distance, well schooled in the zone running game.
2. Jesse Mahelona, DT Tennessee- Just what we need a penetrating DT who plays with a low pad level and gets in the backfield.
3A. Martin Nance WR Miami (Ohio)- Tall, thick possession target. Very physical. Did not have a great week in Mobile, so he has a decent chance to be there at this point.
*3B. Mark Setterstrom OG Minnesota- Textbook Broncos lineman, coming out of Minnesota's similar system. Very good technique wise, although, like many of our OL, he got overpowered by the powerful DTs this week in Mobile. Good fit, all in all and will be at this point since he fell a little in Mobile.
4A. Bruce Gradkowski QB Toledo- Denver scouts talked to him in the Shrine (or was it Hula?) practices. Mobile and smart. In the weeklong practices at that bowl game he also showed very good accuracy.
4B. Greg Threat SS Miami (Fla.)- Very under the radar strong safety prospect. He is very smart and a good tackler. Played very little as a senior for mysterious reasons, although the rise of Kenny Phillips and the development of Brandon Merriweather played a role. Threat had a very nice 2004 season.

* Projected compensatory.

[Lidderer]

hagan's had a rough week, but if he slips to the 3rd round he's gonna end up making some gm look like a genius.

Plus, if you use an advanced method of calculating his overall career and senior bowl performance he scores a 9.77[out of 10] on the LLH{lidderer loves hagan} scale. To put that into perspective: no other player has ever registerd more than a 0.0.

[Clockwork Orange]

You've got a point, but if you comb your hair over no one will see it.

Yeah, I guess you're right. ;D

[Lidderer]

in hagan's defense, the senior bowl hasn't really been all that indicative of future success.

For example, a smattering of recent MVPs include:Cade McNown! Dameyeune Craig! Pat Barnes! Bobby Hoying! Stan White! Eric Hunter! Phillip Rivers! Randle El!

[Lidderer]

from what i can recall, Plummer was pretty ineffective in his senior bowl performance outside of a late td toss.

Let's also keep in mind that if Hagan caught 6 for 80 and 2 TDs I'd be handing out "i told ya so"s in place of every other post I've made in this thread. So there's that.

[Clockwork Orange]

I'm happy to see Kiwanuka's stock dropping, but while I'm enjoying the idea of him possibly being there at 22 right now, I think that he's gonna put on a pretty good show at the combine and bump it back up.

[Lidderer]

who was that guy that wasn't even like a top 3 round projection but then he had a great senior bowl and combine and suddenly went top 10 to the vikes? I wanna say dewayne washington or something like that. Anyhow, the point is: mathias and derek will be financially affected by their performances, but that'll all get cleared up after their 3rd or 4th years.

edit: dewayne washington, went to the jets at #4. Also: sucks.

I know what you mean though, there will always be "workout warriors" who get oohs and aahs because of their 40 times or bench presses but can't play a lick on the football field. Mike Mamula and more recently Kyle Boller are pretty good examples. Hell, Fabian Washington was considered a 2nd rounder at best until he ran (allegedly) a 4.29 40 yard dash at the combine and vaulted into round 1.

DeAngelo Williams has the NCAA record for most 100 yard games, I believe. Emmitt Smith was the same height.

DeAngelo Williams first grabbed my attention in high school when he almost picked Arkansas. They were comparing him to Barry Sanders during the Motor City Bowl. I think he is the best of all the "Next Barry Sanders" that have come and gone, even though he isn't the next Barry Sanders. His offensive production is second to none, but nobody is talking about his character.

http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prn/20050817/CGW029
DeAngelo Williams is the first winner of the ARA Sportsmanship Award
Given to the Division I college football player who exemplifies sportsmanship both on and off the football field. The athlete must be a starting player or significant contributor on his team, demonstrate great respect for competitors, school, teammates and coaches, show an ability to accept victory and defeat graciously, convey a high degree of humility and integrity, and demonstrate commitment in the classroom and to the community.

[Lidderer]

http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prn/20050817/CGW029

It's okay to rip a guy's helmet off and toss him to the ground so long as you offer a hand to help him back up. That's sportsmanship. Also, you don't even have to bend over when holding out the helping hand.

Glad to help. :)

I'm most interested in watching Tamba Hali & Eric Winston. Either one looks like they'd be a nice addition if they're there at 22.

Sucks that Kiwanuka pulled out with an injury.


Tamba Hali would look real good in orange and blue:strong:

[Clockwork Orange]

Tamba Hali would look real good in orange and blue:strong:

Yes he would. But with his perfromance today, he may have elevated his stock out of the Broncos range. The upside to that is that Kiwanuka may fall far enough to be had at 22.

The combine is yet to come, so things can still change fairly dramatically.

I prefer Lawson and Wimbley. Kiwi just has not been impressive all year (even though hurt), then he got owned this week, and then hurt again. He seems to lack a killer instinct too. I would be very leery of him.

I would take that, but I think Broncs could get a real steal on the OL that might be better than Setterstom. Not knocking him, but would rather have Giles, Degory, Joseph if one of them went into free fall. I would also add another OL in place of your homer 4th round pick. :)

Rep for calling SoCal a homer.

I'm beginning to not give a shiite about Santorice Moss's height. He runs crisp routes, he flies down the field, he's got great bloodlines and he catches the damn ball. What's not to like?


agreed...in fact i saw a mock draft with the Broncs taking him. That double move was awesome.

I heard that Setterstrom is REALLY slow. not so enticing.
