A little love for 7th rounder Jammie Kirlew - The Orange Mane

From The National Football Post on "Day Three Draftees Worth Watching"

"OLB Jammie Kirlew, Denver Broncos

I was high on Kirlew during the season, but he started to lose a lot of his buzz after his combine performance because he lacked ideal size and ran in the high 4.9 range. However, he’s a natural pass rusher who has the body control, balance and suddenness to consistently slip blocks off the edge. He lacks a great first step but does a nice job using his hands and plays with consistent leverage on contact. The Broncos already have some talent on their roster in the form of starting 3-4 outside linebackers, but there isn’t much depth behind them. That’s where I think Kirlew could make his mark as a rotational guy."

Whaddaya guys think? Of all our picks, this was the one that left me a bit cold. Doesn't seem like he has the tools to make it in the NFL at either DE or OLB, but McDaniels must see something he really likes, since he traded back into the draft to pick him up. Either way, this is the first article (positive or negative) I've seen on this kid.

He is almost the exact same size as Haggan. I project him as an ILB.

UberBroncoMan · 04-30-2010, 09:59 PM

I think Jarvis Moss' writing is on the wall. As for him being like Haggan, he loses 2 inches and 7lb's to Haggan. I see this dude as a Reid type player. Depth for OLB. We already have Woodyard and Larsen for ILB.

Paladin · 04-30-2010, 10:03 PM

I project him as PS material with some time to groow and to learn more about foot speed and leverage......

theAPAOps5 · 04-30-2010, 10:08 PM

I predict he will be the new Hillis overrated by not very knowledgeable football fans.

They are both 6'3" and within 3lbs of each other in weight.

Med commented on him and thought he can be a good ST and rotation guy but needs a little coaching.

Yeah I'm pretty positive that no one will take any hype away from Tebow

He has the natural pass rush ability so I believe he will stay in the outside.

*WARHORSE* · 04-30-2010, 11:10 PM

This guys first 10 yards are quick. He can drop the QB better than a 4.9 forty would suggest.

He may be a sleeper, cause he can play at 4.9, and more than that, can get his hands in the right spots at 4.9 too.

This is a guy that can play football.

Vegas_Bronco · 04-30-2010, 11:17 PM

He's got a huge base...lots of lower strength and tackles really well. I see him at Mike or Sam.

Forget just the base, take a look at the Minicamp day 1 photos (on denverbroncos.com), the dude is built like a rock up top as well. His forearms look like most people's thighs.

Jammie Kirlew

Height:
6'1"

Weight:
260 lbs.

That's what I went by since I figure they use accurate measurements during the combine.

kappys · 05-01-2010, 05:41 PM

Its always worth a late round pick on a pass rusher. These guys are hard to come by and if he pans out even as a situational rusher(maybe spelling Ayers) that would be a great pick by McD

So you are saying TJ is not a knowledgeable football fan

"Not very knowledgeable"? As in everyone here before Shanahan was fired?

Very funny. Can either one of you guys link me to a single post of yours questioning Hillis before Mike was fired?

Didn't think so.

fair enough. I've still adopted the guy anyway.

SouthStndJunkie · 05-01-2010, 07:55 PM

Jammie Kirlew had a very productive college career.

220 tackles, 52.5 tackles for loss, and 23 sacks with 9 forced fumbles and 6 fumble recoveries.

He is a hard worker and a team leader.

I look for him to make the team and be a good special team player who will work himself onto the field on defense sooner or later.

BroncoBuff · 05-01-2010, 08:04 PM

I heard Kirlew once shot a man just for snoring.

BowlenBall · 05-02-2010, 09:12 AM

I heard he shot a man in Reno... just to watch him die.

Always taking things so serious! If you go to camp this year let me know. I want to meet you in person so you can see that I am being sarcastic.

Kaylor, Oskie, Montrose, and 24champ have and know that its for laughs not for real.

Take a deep breath, and chant woosaa!

you mean like you do on the relationship thread

theAPAOps5 · 05-02-2010, 10:57 AM

Oh no that is dead serious, serious funny was diluted and ruined!

And if you really thought I cared about a thread being ruined then that's just sad.
