Because it's NEVER too early to think about the next draft.
4 guys on my radar for the Broncos going into the season
Montee Ball, RB, Wisconsin
Star Lotuleilei, DT, Utah
Tyrann Mathieu, DB, LSU
Derek Amerson, DB, NC State

| At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Star ends up going number one next year... I would be ecstatic if we grabbed him |

2 players I was able to watch more than a few times last year who really caught my eye are Purdue DT Kawann Short and Michigan St. DE William Gholston.
I was surprised Short didn't declare. He is a really productive player that offers a pass rush. Gholston is a big do everything type DE. |

I agree with you on Gholston's talent, but he has a little Vantaze Burfict in him where he just does stupid things on the field

Yes he does. The Michigan/Michigan St. game from this year is a great example, where he punched an OL in the face and tried to rip Denard Robinson's head off in a pile. |

Star Lotuleilei is a player that every single team will want. Im going to say right now that hes a top-10 player without having to play this year.
5 players I have liked from this past year that I can see in the mid-late 1st (where I see us finishing):
1. Jarvis Jones, DE, Georgia
2. Kawann Short, DT Purdue
3. Brandon Jenkins, DE, Florida St.
4. Michael Dyer, RB, Arkansas St (from Auburn)
5. DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama

Lotuleilei may be a better prospect than Suh. That's a scary though. We'll have no chance at him.
I think RB is going to be a high priority going forward even though Hillman was drafted this year.

I will keep this thread stickied so long as the discussion remains on-topic and informative. If the thread starts to stray or we start getting a lot of single-sentence garbage posts I will close the thread down and wait until mid-way through the college football season to re-open it.
This thread dates back to 101's days and I want to make sure it remains a good reference point for information regarding prospects and their potential fit for the Broncos. If discussion gets away from that elliot and I will lock it up.

If Denver drafts around in the 20s, some players to watch:
Manti Te’o, LB, Notre Dame -- will Nate Irving take over the MLB spot or will he move to DJ's position?
Marcus Lattimore, RB, South Carolina -- will Fox want another top RB?
Andre Ellington, RB, Clemson -- a work-horse replacement for McGahee?
Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama -- will Tracy Porter get a new contract?
Tyrann Mathieu, S, LSU -- how will the 2012 safeties do?
Barkevious Mingo, DE, LSU -- just because I like the name |

Not sure if anyone remembers, but before the 2010 draft I watched a ton of games to get a look at DaQuan Bowers, and Ellington (as a Sophomore) was the best player I saw. Great vision, fluid (like Arian Foster) and boy can he accelerate.
I hear his Junior year was disappointing?

I have a hard time figuring this guy out. All I read about him is great, and the knock is his size, which from what I have read is quite a big concern. I have very few chances to see college ball, and I have never had the chance to see Mathieu in a game. Is he as great a player as he is made out to be? Or will his lack of size be too much of a hinderance?
This was not a question for you specifically, bobdevine. I just see he has already been mentioned a couple of times here already. |

Ill jump in and give it a whirl.
Tyrann Mathieu (The Honey Badger) is an incredible talent. A 3-star coming out of high school, his biggest knock on him was exactly what critics cling too, his size. Hes absolutely a little guy but that doesnt stop him from playing like a monster.
IMO hes going to be the new breed of nickel-CB. Hes got the athletic ability and instincts of a Troy Polamalu but the size of a Rahim Moore. He has the speed to cover the slot, blitz from just about everywhere, and can even help in PR.
I wouldnt even hesitate for a 2nd that he'll be a good pro.

Sheldon Richardson, DT, Mizzou
Guy has the potential to be a monster. I'm excited to see what he does against SEC offensive lineman this year.
