Tight Ends
 

I went to the ASU-UCLA game over the weekend, and I want Marcedes Lewis on this team. He's big, athletic and really goes after the ball. I like our TE's, but I'd love to get a real difference maker at that position.

Any thoughts on where Lewis rates, and other good prospects at the position? How high of a priority will TE be for us?

Lewis is a stud. Both CU TEs will get a look too, with Klopfenstein being one of the top TEs, along with Lewis in the draft. If Olsen from da U was coming out he'd be up there with Lewis and Klopfenstein.

Yeah, but it's much easier to pronounce "Lewis". Do you think we'll go after a TE early in the draft?

No, I don't think so. But with Shanny, you never know.

I was hoping to find pictures of hot chick booty in here. :laugh:

oh well, still nice reading the posts in here since i dont know as much as i should about college ball.

Lewis might be the best receiving threat in the draft unless a couple of underclassmen WRs come out. Suspect he will go in the bottom half of the first round. I would not normally think of the Broncs taking him there, but if they don't see any quality at WR, they just might pull the trigger. There are several nice TE prospects, including Klopper from CU and the two from both of the Oregon schools that will probably go in round 3 or so. The kid from Georgia is also great, but I think he would be crazy to come out this year and be a second round pick when he will be a first round 10 - 20 pick next year.

Funny you should say that because I almost used a different thread title so I wouldn't mislead and disappoint anyone. I guess both of our minds are in the gutter. (happily so, BTW) :~ohyah!:

Don't forget about the kid out of Maryland Vernon Davis I think. 6-4 260 in 4.5 range. Is second best college TE out there behind lewis.

I think he is only a Junior. The stats I have are a year old, but he is listed as 6'2" and 235#. I can't even remember which team he was on, but one of the TEs in the Alabama/LSU game was 6'7" and 265 and ran nice patterns.

Talk is that MD kid might come out. he put on bulk and can block and pass. Would be getting more attention if Maryland had QB.

Id be very surprised if we went TE anywhere before Round 3 at the earliest. I think Shanny likes the Putz's development despite the fact that he hasnt come on as fast as expected this year and dont forget they like Duke. They kept him on the roster even though he probably wasnt among the Top 53 much less Top 60 or so, and then they hid him on the IR later. Id be very surprised if they went back to the well anywhere early in this draft at the TE position.

I agree, I expect to depth on both line addressed and another running back in the 2nd/3rd before TE. I know Bell, is up and coming but Shanahan goes through back faster then Chef fan goes through excuses.

I would normally agree, but with the lack of production Broncs have from their receivers, I think they could go for a true pass receiving TE if they did not think there were any worthwhile WRs. I know there is a lot of love for Adams and Devoe here, but they really have proved nothing yet and I really don't see either elevating their game to be a top quality No. 3. Unless they can grab someone in FA or if a couple of good juniors come out, I think they need to be creative in this area in the draft.

Vernon Davis is a lock to come out...he comes from a family with financial difficulty, and is pretty much guaranteed to be a first rounder at this point. He is 6'3" 250+, runs a 4.4 and benches 460+...if we can get this guy in the middle of the first round, I can't imagine Shanny will pass him up. He will be a DIFFERENCE MAKER at the NFL level.

Vernon Davis
 

I just finished watching the Maryland-NC State game and Davis is a monster. He reminds me a lot of Gates. Same body type and can really run after the catch. Another player is Mario Williams. This guy is an animal. I would love to see us have a top 10 pick (WAS) and get a shot at Williams (DE), Kiwanuka (DE) or Ngata (DT). We can than use our second pick for the best athlete availbale.
