LenDale WILL Be Drafted In The Teens!

[ChampBailey24]

Not saying its for sure, but on NFL Total Access, Schefter said a team in teh middle teens said they would still draft him with that pick, even without him working out, i mean they could be bluffing, but im just saying. i hope its us! this kid is a gamer! just watch the rose bowl!

[spdirty]

Yeah I saw that too. Who knows for sure?

[Atlas]

hmmmmm middle teens... Where does Denver draft?? 15?? HMMMMM is that middle teens? Me thought so. Does Sheftner have any Bronco connections to find this out? Maybe??

[ro_50]

Maybe if Schefter kept his sources from his days at the Denver Post.

He was the first to mention a possible trade between Bailey and Portis.

[ChampBailey24]

i sure hope its us!

[ludo21]

uuughhh.. i like LW a lot. But him not showing uip for his pro day in top shape is very telling of his character.

I hope we take a pass on him, unless he is with the Broncos and they told him to not work out.

Why in the hell would he do that?

He works on and does well and he can get picked sooner then 15 and basically we are taking money away from him. No way any agent tells their client to do that.

Personally I'd prefer to get him at 22 if we decide to go that direction.

[cutthemdown]

I guess it's possible Broncos draft RB that high but I doubt it. I still think it will be either DT/DE with the 15th, either OL/Saftey/WR with the 22nd. Then prob either RB/TE with the 2nd round pick. By drafts end I think broncos will address all those spots and maybe a linebacker that can play strongside bkup.

[WaffleBoy]

I see Pittsburgh in his future. ;D

i know.. that;s my point, it SOUNDS CRAZY!!!

So that leads me to believe that LW has poor character and effort.

[Taco John]

I hope we don't draft him at 15. I'd much rather take him with #22.

[WaffleBoy]

The "Bus" will mentor him in Pittsburgh. ;D

I'd agree with that which is why I've really cooled off on wanting him.

[Garcia Bronco]

Lendale White is soo fat....his picture is heavy.

The Boy Wonder :super:


teach him how to be fatter and slower???

[WaffleBoy]

I hope we don't draft him at 15. I'd much rather take him with #22.

I don't see the Broncos drafting a big back at all. I bet if they target a RB, it's going to be an all-purpose type of runner--not in the mode of Bettis.

The Boy Wonder :super:

[WaffleBoy]

What is he, 245 or 255? That's lean in Pittsburgh. Deuce is heavier. Ha!

[elsid13]

I really hope the Food Critic source is the wishful thinking on this board. I would be very disappointed if Denver takes him.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Me too. He's a Flava Clown, which means that if he gets carries in Denver's system that he'll want the big bucks.

Ill pass.

[epicSocialism4tw]

Kiper has White falling down to the Panthers at #27 as the last back taken in Rd. 1.

[SouthStndJunkie]

I would not kick the dog if we took him at 15. I would prefer to take him at 22 though. I look at the overall picture (what he has done on the field) more than his actions of the last month or so. It certainly raises some red flags, but I still think the kid is a heck of a back.

[GonzoLays]

If the stories about Lendale White being a lazy fatass are true then why waste a first round pick on him? He obviously will not fit in here. No pun intended.

[Garcia Bronco]

Lendale White is sooooo fat that every time he turns around it's his birthday.

I think that he has talent, but I also think that there was much offense talent at USC that he looked better then he is in college. In NFL it comes down to desire, conditioning and technique, and right now he hasn't shown any of those three.

[yerner]

yeah, i just dont get it. why would we need him? We have Dayne and Bell. Is the job really up for grabs? You know shanny plays the vets. He's definitly not overwhelingly good. There's no way him and his man titties play ahead of either of these guys. We just dont need a back that bad. Why not get someone that helps immediatly. Basically the only rb i think we use this pick on is Bush and he wont be there.

[yerner]

I would love him in the 2nd though

[Hercules Rockefeller]

Good to see one of the 1sts has been flushed down the drain if it's Denver

Actually, RB is one position in which Shanny has shown a willingness to play rookies...see Terrell Davis, Olandis Gary, Mike Anderson, and Clinton Portis.

[watermock]

Get off this board Waffle Boy.

You can have fat ass.

[yerner]

yeah, but thats not with two vets uninjured and fairly proven.
you have to think the blocking and playbook recoginition goes to the vets. i just think one of these guys plays ahead of a rookie in the current situtation. No?

[azbroncfan]

I see Pittsburgh in his future. ;D

The Boy Wonder :super:

You think he would get past INDY and Carolina? YOu are up in the night whacking off to your Big Ben FatHead sticker.

If we are looking at drafting a back in round one then Shanny will probably throw him into the mix from day one as it is an indication he is looking for an immediate upgrade at the position.

I'll be absolutely fvcking gutted if we draft a RB in round 1 especially White considering this is the best opportunity this franchise has had in years to grab 2 cornerstones for the future.

[SoCalBronco]

We dont have really anything at RB right now. We have a chance to take a big time stud who is probably a top 10 talent. WR class= is weak. No reaching. DE class- the team apparently doesnt like it.

I think we need Bunkley more than we need a RB.

[broncohaven]

I agree. I would hate to see us take White. Maroney at #22 would be the only RB pick I wouldn't despise.

[eddie mac]

When's the last time this franchise drafted a RB in the 1st round???

Steve Sewell 21 years ago.

Socal, usually I like your takes, but there is no way White is not top 10 talent or proven that he a stud. He a good running back that played on very good offense team. Three of the offense linemen are likely to go in first two rounds. Plus, I seriously don't think that White is the kind of back that Turner looks for in the draft. I expect that Allen out of Tennessee and Chad Jackson are going to be 1st round selection

If thats going to be our first round, than I probably shouldnt even wake up that day.

[Barry Ramey]

But can White really improve his stock enouh to get drafted before 15? Who really needs a RB that badly before the Bronco pick? Sure, a team could trade up to get him or maybe Philly could take him a pick before, but maybe he doesn't want to play in Philly. Who knows.

Plus, one has to believe White has to a very stupid person to show up out of shape and not work out very hard in front of scouts costing him money. So, while it does seem hard to believe he tanked on purpose, you then would have to believe he's an idiot if there isn't some deal or agreement in place.

I don't know the guy, so I don't know if he's that dumb or not, but it does make me wonder why he would pull such a thing if there wasn't something else going on.

[RMT]

If the stories about Lendale White being a lazy fatass are true then why waste a first round pick on him? He obviously will not fit in here. No pun intended.

Something you and I agree on, Gonzo :)

[Barry Ramey]

And I'll mention reports have been Shanahan not happy with Bell and his work ethic and questioning his toughness, so I don't see it out of the question them taking a RB in the 1st round. So what if they haven't done that. Other than Pryce 10 years ago, what DE or DT have they been taking in the 1st round?

They should draft the best players at the spots they're picking and not going for need. Sure, they need some d-line help, but what makes people certain that Kiwi or Hali are going to be any better than the guys they have already? Plus, those guys probably hardly play if at all next year anyway.

My feeling is they could very well take a RB at #15 and trade Bell for a 2nd or more likely a 3rd round pick. It is reported they like that Cobbs at RB too, so not like they would be hurting at RB by dealing Bell.

[12th man]

wow. I wonder who that team could be. a teen pick. is fifteen a mid teen pick or what. a lot of teams dislike white now cause he has b1tch t1ts. but we feed the fat fvck dinner. white is from Denver, and a rb, and all rb's love denver for their system. it's a perfect fit for him. well, maybe a tight fit. but serioulsy, he would be good here, and I hope we get. however, I don't think we should us the 15th to get him. get him with the 22nd.

[Barry Ramey]

The only d-lineman the Broncos should even consider in the 1st round is Bunkley, but I think the Browns, Ravens, or Philly could take him before the Broncos. I like Wimbley too, but seems like most scouts and such see him as an OLB than DE. Just take the BPA is the way they should go.

[labronco]

make or break with mario. gotta find a way to swap position with the saints. make us proud, shanny.

[Clockwork Orange]

Allright, let's see here. A team with a pick in the teens. That's the Ravens, Eagles, Broncos, Dolphins, Vikings, Cowboys and Chargers. Let's go down the line.

Ravens-Possibly. They just signed Lewis & Anderson, but Lewis' deal is actually a 1 year contract and Anderson is 33 years old.

Eagles-Maybe. The just invested a decent amount of coin in Westbrook, but they could be looking to add a power back to go with Westbrook's finesse game. They may also be looking to get back to a more traditional running game now that the Owens debacle is behind them and they no longer have to worry about him whining about not getting enough touches.

Broncos-Strong possibility. Their starter from last year is gone and they're left with Bell (who no one knows whether or not he can carry the load) and Dayne (who looked good in spot duty, but again, can he be the starter?).

Dolphins-No chance. Even if Ricky Williams is traded, they spent the 2nd pick in the draft last year on Ronnie Brown.

Cowboys-Not likely. They've kind of got the RBBC thing going right now between Jones & Barber. Both are pretty young, so there's no real need for them to go RB in round 1, especially with needs along the O-line.

Chargers-No chance. Some guy named LaDanian has that job pretty well wrapped up.

Out of all of that, the Broncos look like the team that makes the most sense. We'll see, this could all be someone blowing smoke. Scheffter did say that teams have done this kind of thing before (tell a player that they were going to take him if he lasted to a certain spot) and nothing came of it. All we can do is wait and see how it plays out.

[RhymesayersDU]

I hope we don't draft him at 15. I'd much rather take him with #22.
Agreed. I'd want a WR at 15... but if he's around at 22 take him.

[milehighiniowacity]

I dont' understand the fasination with LW. If we really need a RB in the 1st round which I don't totally agree with either then take Maroney from Min. He is a stud and I think would fit in much better then LW. We already have a big back in Dayne and nice change up in Bell. I guess I don't see the need for RB in the first round. Sorry.

[Arkansas Bronco]

My feeling is they could very well take a RB at #15 and trade Bell for a 2nd or more likely a 3rd round pick. It is reported they like that Cobbs at RB too, so not like they would be hurting at RB by dealing Bell.
If they do draft a first round RB I still dont think they will get rid of Bell yet. He isnt paid much, he knows our system and besides Daynes is the only decent RB we have.

[Rohirrim]

Yeah, The Bus has man boobs too. They jiggle every time he pounds one through the EZ.

I could go for White, Manny & Hass, or White, Manny & JoeK, or White, Marcedes, and PWatkins, or White, JasonA and MAnderson, or White, Tamba & Hass, or White, Kiwi & Bullocks… it could go so many ways, and I’d still be happy. ;D

[footstepsfrom#27]

White ran behind the best offensive line in college and had two Heisman winners to take the load off him...even without hiis attitude/weight problems, he hasn't proven he can be the every down back carrying the load 25 times a game. I'd take DeAngelo Williams over him...definitely not at #15 either.

[anthonypacino]

Cedric Humes, is the answer at RB...

[SoCalBronco]

Cedric Humes, is the answer at RB...

How much did Garcia pay you to say that? :)

[-Slap-]

Yeah, The Bus has man boobs too. They jiggle every time he pounds one through the EZ.

I was wondering when someone would make a Jerome Bettis comparison. He's a had a pretty fair career.

[anthonypacino]

How much did Garcia pay you to say that? :)
lol, nothing to my knowledge. I got to watch him play and I think his style is TD-ish, I don't think I ever saw him run out of bounds or try to get out of someones way. He knew when to make the cut, and ran downfield. I just think he would fit in our system and being a lower round pick a better value.

[phisig150]

White ran behind the best offensive line in college.

Last time I checked Denver had a pretty decent oline too. Unless your name is Barry Sanders you need a hole to run through.
