Pick Player Pos Ht Wt College
Round 1, Pick 12 (12) Ryan Clady OT 6'6" 316 Boise State
Pick Analysis:Clady is an athletic lineman, who fits into Denver's zone-blocking scheme. He'll need some time to develop and may start his career off at right tackle. He started 32 games over the past three years, including 26 at left tackle. He has great feet and long arms.
Round 2, Pick 11 (42) Eddie Royal WR 5'10" 184 Virginia Tech
Pick Analysis:Royal has been compared to Carolina wide receiver Steve Smith. The Broncos need a return man and he can fit the bill. He's incredibly strong for his size and can get behind the defense.
Round 4, Pick 9 (108) Kory Lichtensteiger OG 6'3" 310 Bowling Green
Pick Analysis:Lichtensteiger has great technique, but short arms. The four-year starter at Bowling Green understands leverage and position. He's very intelligent and plays with a lot of intensity. The Broncos like to a pick a position and attack it in the draft. The offensive line seems to be a point of emphasis this year.
Round 4, Pick 20 (119) (From Redskins) Jack Williams CB 5'9" 186 Kent State
Pick Analysis:This guy can fly - he has great speed. He ran a 4.32 at his Pro Day and also had very impressive numbers in the cone drill and vertical jump. He's got good size for a corner. Given his athleticism, he could be underrated as a prospect and is a great value at this point in the draft.
Round 5, Pick 4 (139) (From Raiders) Ryan Torain RB 6'1" 222 Arizona State
Pick Analysis:Torain started the season really well, but was derailed by a foot injury midway through the year. He's a junior college transfer that likes to run between the tackles. Given Denver's traditional success taking RBs in the middle rounds, the Arizona State product has potential to develop.
Round 5, Pick 13 (148) Carlton Powell DT 6'3" 300 Virginia Tech
Pick Analysis:Carlton Powell is a little undersized but was productive at Virginia Tech. This far along in the draft, you're not going to get ideal physical specimens, so the fact he started three years for a strong program makes him a good value.
Round 6, Pick 17 (183) (From Texans) Spencer Larsen OLB 6'2" 243 Arizona
Pick Analysis:Toughness is Larsen's forte. He's an inside linebacker and is not overly big or fast, but he's a good run-stuffer. He can't play in pass coverage but can come in during early downs. He is older at 25.
Round 7, Pick 13 (220) Josh Barrett S 6'2" 223 Arizona State
Pick Analysis:Barrett had a great junior campaign and potentially could've been a third-round pick, but he got benched as a senior. He has all the measurables and exceptional speed, 4.36 in the 40. Barrett matured a lot after sitting and demonstrated poise when he came back. His lack of playing time, though, clearly hurt his draft stock.
Round 7, Pick 20 (227) (From Buccaneers) Peyton Hillis FB 6'1" 240 Arkansas
Pick Analysis:Hillis is one of the best fullbacks in the draft. Some had him rated higher than Owen Schmitt who was taken earlier. He was one of the main players responsible for opening up holes for first-rounders Felix Jones and Darren McFadden and will have a chance to contribute right away in the NFL as a blocking fullback.
Direi che abbiamo cercato di tappare i buchi che avevamo....adesso vediamo quali di quest' prospetti possono essere utili alla causa...magari troviamo un nuovo tmo nalen tra questi(era stato scelto alla settima)
un po' di sconcreto la nostra terza scelta...dopo fenton ed eslinger un'altro centro...speriamo che almeno lui non fallisca...mentr emi sembra intrigante la nostra ultima scelta
forse abbiamo un fb finalmente
