A bit undersized, but a former TE whose really athletic. Glad he’s on the North squad. There are some guys from the South squad I wish were on the North, but overall I’m happy with the players Denver is able to get a longer look at. I haven't seen any of them but I'm hoping you and others mention a few other names. Anybody know anything about McCray, the big ILB from Michigan?

Anybody know anything about McCray, the big ILB from Michigan? The great thing about McCray is that he has a lot of experience and he can tackle well. He reminds me of Todd Davis a bit, lacks the athleticism to cover and is limited a bit going sideline to sideline. He’d be a good back up and ST player.

Anybody know anything about McCray, the big ILB from Michigan? Have you watched Connor Williams? Anyway I’ve been reading O’Neill has passed him on boards by some. Williams actually has fallen off quite a bit by a lot of draftniks and many have him as a late 1st-early 2nd, while some still have him as the top OT in the draft.

The only guy I've watched 30+ plays of is Nelson. With all the hype I had to see him play. Most dominant college OG I've seen. Might have been the competition but he never lost a snap.

germ-x Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 As far as the OL goes Denver’s roster is stacked. Brian O’Neill, OT, Pitt Mason Cole, OC/OG, Michigan Tyrell Crosby, OT, Oregon Will Hernandez, OG, UTEP Chukwuma Orkorafor, OT, Western Michigan Other than Cole, all potential top 64 picks.

I really haven’t watched any of these guys either, just going off what I’ve read. O’Neill seems like a guy whose weigh ins will be crucial. Only listed at 290. Hernandez some believe is hands down the #2 OG in the draft. Big, 6’3” 330. Crosby some on this forum love. Haven’t seen him, but I’ll take their word for it until I do. Okorafor has gotten a lot of hype as well for a big OT. Supposedly may have the athleticism to play LT, even at 330 pounds. Cole is just an old school grinder. Played a ton of football at Michigan and started at both LT and OC and was a true freshman starter. Projects better inside though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t go Nelson at 5 and William Hernandez is their at 40, we take him right? With the OL coach connection and him being #2G. I like Cole as well and you’re right, he’s strictly a G imo, lacks foot speed but his great with hands and is tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Cole is the type of versatile player New England drafts in the second and becomes a solid player for years. Wouldn't be surprised if that is who ends up drafting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the OL coach connection and him being #2G. I would hope so. He has unreal functional strength and great technique. Tons of experience starting too. Dude always wins his 1-1 assignments. Not a dancing bear or a pulling OG but if we want to attack straight forward, which seems the plan, he is the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germ-x Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Another OL name no one is talking about is Isaiah Wynn out of Georgia. Kind of in that Mason Cole category, though I like Cole more. Doesn't have the length to play OT, but could transition well to OG and has versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncos67 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Would not mind McGlinchey, Crosby, O'Neill or Okarafor in Rounds 1 or 2. I'm leery on Williams until we see his medicals and how he performs in some drills. His ACL injury was a little nasty from what I understand.

BroncoBruin Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Wouldn't mind an OT in the 2nd, but not the 1st. Get a guy you think will be an All-Pro or a good starting QB when you have a top 5 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Hernandez we'll have to wait and see. His draft stock will rise or fall a lot depending on how he performs at the combine. If he can display good quickness and lateral ability at his size he'd rise rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hernandez is going to test pretty mediocre but he is a technical beast and totally ready to plug/play at LG (Started all 49 games of his career in college there). Has an NFL ready body, elite durability and a great mean streak. He remains my top choice for our R2 pick. I am liking McGovern, but I also believe this team needs a constant interior swing man and that his role may best be suited there. Paradis has shown to be injury prone, and honestly may even lose a camp battle if we put McGovern against him at OC. Leary has knee issues and may go down at any time. I think McGovern gives us that versatile IOL that every good team needs. If he is the primary backup for LG/OC/RG, then it is very likely that he sees a good deal of playing time over the season.
