I've seen a lot of talk about us getting guys like Everette Brown, Brian Orakpo, Rashad Johnson, ect. But these are all guys we already knew. Here are some guys that are 2nd/3rd round prospects that I have not seen mentioned as potential picks here (some courtesy of NFLDC)
Larry English OLB/DE, NIU-One of the more prolific pass rushers in the NCAA. English had over 56 TFLs and 32 sacks in his career. At 6'3 255 he has the size to play OLB in our 3-4
Louis Delmas S, Western Michigan- For the first time since 2006 when Greg Jennings and Tony Scheffler graduated, the Broncos have a legit NFL Prospect. After being considered a nice mid round pick, Delmas took his game to another level. In fact, one can argue that the only senior safety that had a better season than him was Rashad Johnson. Delmas is only 5'11, but he's one of the best safeties coming out in what many consider a very deep safety draft.
Max Unger OL, Oregon-Listed as a C, but can play OG and OT very easily. With Satale's future at C in question, Unger might be worth a look (though sime feel he'll sneak into round 1)
Terrence Taylor DT, Michigan-Compact and strong; Taylor has the idea size to become a 3-4 NT
Macho Harris CB, VTech-Has lost a lot of luster from last year, but is a very physical CB.
Troy Kropog OT, Tulsa- A highly athletic OT that could add much needed depth to the OL or step in at RT if Carey is not resigned.
Jonathan Luigs C, Arkansas-Same boat as Unger, but is a pure C.
Cody Brown OLB/DE Connecticut-Not as impressive as English, but is a very good prospect.
Josh Boone OT, Ohio State-Never developed into an elite LT prospect, but is a solid RT prospect if a RT is needed.
Mike Mickens CB, CIncy-Bigger CB that is physical, solid CB.
Patrick Chung S, Oregon-Chung is actually right up there with Johnson and Moore as top S. Lost a lot of hype after a great junior year
Marcus Freeman LB, Ohio State- Did not take the next step to elite player as a senior, but is highly athletic, and there are some who feel he could make a bigger impact than his college teammate and best friend, Little Animal.
there are more out there, but these are some of the top guys that come to mind right now that do not get the talk they deserve on this forum
