this is a thread to list the private workouts we have before the draft....

keep in mind this is a great tool for figuring out who we may draft....every player we drafted last year came in on 1 of the 30(i believe??) private workouts each team is allowed....

MCD looks for team captains, college production, team leaders, smart players, hard workers etc...his chracter risks are done in UDFA where the risk is limited ...


so the list so far-

I like the idea and when draft comes it'll be a good comparison to see how mcDaniels draft players vs the ones he worked out. I believe I read somewhere the players he worked out last year, he drafted!

I like seeing him focus on the oline and if Gerhart is as much a bruiser as he was in college, I'd be excited to see him as a BRONCO!!

every player we drafted came in for a private work-out, so its actually a good judge on who they are looking at....and at the very least it tells us the positions they are looking at

Broncos to hold private workout for RB/KR Dexter McCluster

Ole Miss' Dexter McCluster told Scout.com that he's already conducted a private workout with the Cleveland Browns and has another one scheduled this Thursday with the Denver Broncos. And at the end of the month, he's scheduled to hop on a plane for an official visit with the Tennessee Titans.

After finishing second all-time in all-purpose yards at Ole Miss with 4,089 yards, McCluster is drawing interest from teams as a running back, wide receiver and returns specialist.

No, what jumped out at me was the fact that we haven't worked out a single player that would justify being taken with the 11th pick. Not one top name there. I guess there's still a month before the combine, but so far the Broncos have only brought in 2nd round and below caliber players.

....every player we drafted last year came in on 1 of the 30(i believe??) private workouts each team is allowed....
I remember there was a little confusion about the 30 player limit last year in the 09' prospect thread. Some people, including myself, were wondering as to why there was so many prospects being reported when the limit was 30. I think the final tally was around 45 players in all.

This seems to explain a little bit of that.

From Draft Bible (http://www.nfldraftbible.com/Daily-Dose/draft-watch-bradford-to-meet-with-rams-april-12th.html)


Rams general manager Billy Devaney confirmed Sunday that Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford is scheduled to visit Rams Park on April 12. That is part of the team’s allowed 30 visits by draft-eligible players. All visits must be done by April 14. However, Bradford will not work out. A Washington Post report Thursday said Bradford would have a private workout with the Rams April 12, but that is a visit, not a workout. There are no workouts allowed when players visit a team facility. There can be physicals, but Devaney said Sunday the team probably won’t have Bradford undergo a physical that day.

Teams are checking out Terrence Cody
Posted by Mike Florio on March 31, 2010 4:31 PM ET

Generally speaking, we don't put much weight into the "who's visiting who" nonsense of the run-up to the NFL draft. This is, as we've said a time or two, the portion of the year when blue eyes turn the deepest shade of brown. So we've tried this year to get away from the machine-gun barrage of players who are going to see this team and that team.

Here's the summary: A lot of potential draft picks will visit a lot of teams before the draft. And there's little or no correlation between those visits and where the guy will be drafted.

But some of the high-profile guys catch our attention. One such guy is this year's winner of the Alabama man-boob competition, defensive tackle Terrence Cody.

We're told that he will visit the Ravens, Redskins, Chargers, Broncos, and Chiefs. He'll also work out privately for Chiefs defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel.

Again, it doesn't mean that any of those teams are serious about Cody. Hell, it could be that they simply want to see him do the Truffle Shuffle.

Ziggy
04-01-2010, 12:16 AM
When you only get 30 visits, you use them wisely. If we're bringing Cody in, I'm guessing that we may give him some consideration if he is there in the 2nd. Despite all the negative things that have come about with him in the offseason, I still expect him to go in round 1, or very high in round 2.

honestly. . . if i didn't think we needed O-line help so badly, i'd almost like to take cody just so we don't have to play him twice a year with KC or san diego for the next twelve years or so. . . poorly conditioned or not, the guy still projects as a beastly NT who'll crush the inside run if he doesn't eat his way out of the league. . . he's a two down player, but really so is JWall, and he's been a tremendous pain in the ass over the years. . .

somebody like walton or ducasse is going to be hard to pass up, but i wouldn't cry at all if we got cody in the 2nd. . . that's a pick that has a lot of potential to be a much better value selection than dan williams at #11. . .

I believe from what I have heard there is a lot of talent on the LOS this year.

While I would like the best we can get, lets hope we do not reach to much for someone in either sides of the LOS.

I would say that even second-third or even fourth best at each position will be an upgrade over what we have had the past couple of years.

Either side needs to be bigger, stronger, faster, meaner and nastier that casey, hamilton, maybe Harris, at NT and at least one DE. After that BPA and maybe even BPA for day one.

Lets hope we fill those slots first and then deal with LB, WR, RB and CB depth, not necessarily in that order.

we have lots of needs and lets hope we can fill all of them with quality players this year.

WR Jacoby Ford


Clemson wide receiver Jacoby Ford told me this week that he's worked out for the receivers coaches of the Denver Broncos and the Cleveland Browns. He'll also be working out at the Dolphins' pro day for local area prospects on April 9.
Ford posted the top electronic forty-time (4.28 seconds) among the receivers at the NFL Combine, but teams have realized that he's got a lot more to offer than speed.
"They definitely like my toughness, and being smooth and polished as a route-runner," he said. "Teams are talking to me about being a slot receiver, but they've been asking me if I'm comfortable outside, too. I played three different positions last year, so I think that's going to benefit me this year."

I agree. I like that the Broncos are bringing in OLinemen especially. As for the Broncos drafting someone they haven't met with, it's not unheard of for teams to avoid a player they have planned to try and draft to avoid drawing unneeded attention. Also not all meeting with players and teams are reported. Some happen without anyone knowing besides the player, team, and agent.

Don't read to much into it. A lot of teams bring in a guy they have no chance of drafting just to get an idea of what he's capable of. However, on the flip side, it can't be completely discounted either. I guess what I'm trying to get at is when it comes to these workouts and meetings I always digest it with a big grain of salt, especially the first round players. I find the players projected in the later rounds to be of much more interest when it comes to meetings personally.

The funny thing is, the biggest negative analysts have pegged Hardesty with coming into the league is while he enjoyed bowling over players in college, its a big question of how big of a drop off he'll suffer in the NFL (if any). He weighs in at about 223 lbs, and some people are worried about his ability to still remain a power back in the NFL at that size. His frame can't take much more lean weight, so he's likely not going to grow into a different NFL weight. Personally I'm on the fence about him. He shows great flashes, but I agree he didn't dominate in the SEC and that doesn't translate into a good sign for his rookie year prospects. I will say he almost always falls forward and keeps those legs churning so, and his OL wasn't the greatest (but from what I saw, most of his biggest gains came from gaping wide holes).

This video is the best I think at show casing his real game footage, not a bunch of huge gainer highlights, but almost all his runs against S. Carolina this year. I dislike pure highlight footage because anyone can look like a superstar when you just take the best of their career and pile it all together.

I agree, but if your worried about Hardesty, he'll likely be drafted anywhere from the late second to the fourth round.

Easy, Gem. It's highly unlikely with the draft salaries as they are now. Next year the entire dynamics of the draft will change if a rookie wage scale is in place. Teams will be able to draft any position regardless of what they are paying current players at the same position, due to the low rookie salary. I also think the Broncos would be wise to try to pick up a first next year if they can, perhaps even for BMarsh this year.

keep in mind this is a great tool for figuring out who we may draft....every player we drafted last year came in on 1 of the 30(i believe??) private workouts each team is allowed....



Considering that last year was abnormally rushed, I wouldn't use it as a basis to guarantee we'll be drafting all our players from the private workout list.

The whole system of drafting was solidified this year.

I'm sure there is more that goes on that we don't know about, also.

The funny thing is, the biggest negative analysts have pegged Hardesty with coming into the league is while he enjoyed bowling over players in college, its a big question of how big of a drop off he'll suffer in the NFL (if any). He weighs in at about 223 lbs, and some people are worried about his ability to still remain a power back in the NFL at that size. His frame can't take much more lean weight, so he's likely not going to grow into a different NFL weight. Personally I'm on the fence about him. He shows great flashes, but I agree he didn't dominate in the SEC and that doesn't translate into a good sign for his rookie year prospects. I will say he almost always falls forward and keeps those legs churning so, and his OL wasn't the greatest (but from what I saw, most of his biggest gains came from gaping wide holes).

This video is the best I think at show casing his real game footage, not a bunch of huge gainer highlights, but almost all his runs against S. Carolina this year. I dislike pure highlight footage because anyone can look like a superstar when you just take the best of their career and pile it all together.

Dude is a prototype NFL RB. He's not a 3rd down specialist. He's not an oversized goalline guy. He can play all three downs in the league. he can catch and he can block. His ONLY concern has been his ability to stay healthy which he did have issues w/ prior to his senior campaign. Dude is a beast otherwise. He played behind a line w/ 1 draftable player, and it'll be a very late pick. The RG and C were walk ons. The QB scared NOBODY until 2/3 into the season. If ya wanna see what kind of player he is, watch his TD vs VTech in their bowl game.

If he stays healthy, someone will steal themselves a legit 3 down back.

I also don't get the gaping hole comment, cuz as you can see from the SC game alone, he makes people miss. He has an inate ability to "get thin" which can't really be taught. His spin is deadly...and that's not the only game where he has abused folks w/ it.

Another question about Hardesty...what makes Ryan Matthews the concensus #2 RB and Hardesty off of the radar? To me, they are the same back.

Ryan Matthews: 5'11", 218 4.45 40 time...6.6 ypc 1808 yards, 19 TD, 122 rec yards, 0 rec TD in the WAC
Montario Hardesty: 5'11", 223 4.49 40 time...4.8 ypc 1345 yards, 13 TD, 305 rec yards, 1 rec TD in the SEC

Both have tremendous balance and very good vision, both have injury histories. Matthews have better numbers, Hardesty wasn't too far behind vs IN-arguably much better competition. Just an observation.

Not sure if this has already been posted.

Like every other team in the NFL, the Broncos can bring prospects to their headquarters in the weeks before the draft. The team will meet them and get them together with position coaches.

Among the group scheduled to visit the Broncos, two of the most intriguing names were Toby Gerhart of Stanford and Montario Hardesty of Tennessee. Both are running backs.

That's after Broncos coach Josh McDaniels repeatedly said he was happy with the backfield combination of Knowshon Moreno, the team's first-round draft pick last year, and Correll Buckhalter. The Broncos also signed J.J. Arrington as a free agent.

Gerhart and Hardesty aren't considered first-round picks. But getting Gerhart likely would require a premium pick on the second day of the April 22-24 draft, given his recent workouts.

Gerhart was the Doak Walker Award winner last season after rushing for 1,871 yards. Following a 1,176-yard rushing season in 2008, he became just the second player in Stanford history to gain 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons.

Gerhart is a closer with the goal line in sight, having scored at least one touchdown in 18 of the last 20 games he played in his Stanford career. He had at least two touchdowns rushing in 14 games and at least three touchdowns in six games.

With the Broncos' repeated struggles in short-yardage situations last season, a 231-pound running back with 4.5-second speed in the 40-yard dash could be valuable, especially in what is largely a one-back system.

A player such as Gerhart could even line up at fullback to carry the ball or leave the backfield as a receiver if the Broncos operate out of a two-back formation.

Gerhart never caught more than 15 passes in any season at Stanford, but he has looked smooth in his postseason work running pass patterns.

Hardesty, at 225 pounds, has a little more speed than Gerhart, having run the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds at the NFL scouting combine. With a 41-inch vertical jump, he has plenty of explosiveness with the ball in his hands.

But he has a long history of injuries, including having his knee drained last season (because of persistent swelling) on his way to 1,345 yards rushing. And that was his only "healthy" year.

During his Tennessee career, Hardesty missed practice time because of a sore shoulder, had a stress fracture in his lower leg, had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to repair cartilage and had surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee. The torn ACL required a second surgery during his recovery.

But Hardesty, when healthy, finishes runs well and runs with an edge. Still, his health issues are red flags.

Florida center Maurkice Pouncey, Alabama cornerback Kareem Jackson and Nevada-Las Vegas offensive lineman Joe Hawley are some of the other prospects folks in the league say were scheduled to visit Dove Valley leading up to this month's draft.

The Broncos interviewed Hawley at the scouting combine in Indianapolis. He is a guard-center prospect with tremendous strength.

Add DE Tyson Alualu to the mix:

Alualu's mettle is provenCal defensive lineman's toughness, passion, character attract PatriotsEmail Print Comments 0Share retweet 7 By Mike Reiss

Since Bill Belichick was hired as head coach in 2000, the New England Patriots have hosted hundreds of college prospects in advance of the annual NFL draft. One of this year's visitors has a story unlike any other.

Meet Tyson Alualu.

Projected as a late-first- to mid-second-round draft choice, Alualu had a solid career as a defensive lineman at the University of California. He's durable, powerful and versatile.

Performance alone has helped him stand above most of his peers in this year's draft, but when his unconventional life story is added to the mix, Alualu's rise is that much more impressive.


[+] EnlargeAP Photo/Michael Conroy
Tyson Alualu, shown working out at the NFL combine, has overcome a lot to become a potential first-round draft pick.
Alualu was born in Hawaii and has seven sisters and one brother. He's the fourth oldest of the group.

As a youngster, his father Ta'avao was in and out of prison for everything from drugs to domestic violence before turning his life around and becoming a pastor. Prior to third grade, Alualu remembers trying to avoid his father. Now Ta'avao is a driving influence in his life.

The 6-foot-2½, 295-pound Alualu can be a mauler on the football field, but he's a gentle giant in his home around his wife Desiré, their 4-year-old son Tyreé and 1-year-old daughter Dereon. They've been married since Sept. 11, 2005. "I definitely get that a lot, people asking how I balance everything and manage it all," said Alualu, who turns 23 on May 12. "Many people say I have a lot on my plate, but it's something I wouldn't trade for the world. It's extra motivation for me to succeed, to create a better life for them."

Alualu's early years in Hawaii were far from an island fantasy. His family worked hard to make ends meet, and some of his friends made bad choices that derailed their athletic hopes.

One of his biggest breaks came when his dream of attending Saint Louis Preparatory School, the alma mater of current NFL players Olin Kreutz and Dominic Raiola, was realized. Attending football powerhouse Saint Louis gave him the best chance of following in the footsteps of his uncle Tupu, who played football at Hawaii, while helping him academically.

The family didn't have the resources to send him to Saint Louis, but the religious Alualu believes God helped open the door for him. His father had sought a sponsor for him, and a caring local family, which had created a scholarship in the name of their late son, stepped to the fore.

That ultimately led to a scholarship at Cal, where Alualu never missed a game from 2006-2009, appearing in 51 contests with 39 starts. He played every position on the line, including defensive end on a three-man line, which is one of the Patriots' most pressing needs.

Alualu credits the Cal coaching staff with providing the springboard to putting him on the cusp of entering the NFL. In addition to visiting the Patriots, he has been hosted by the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. The Atlanta Falcons also have plans to put him through a private workout before the draft.


Patriots blog
ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss will have updates, notes and analysis throughout the offseason to keep you informed on what's up with the Patriots.

• Patriots blog | Send Mike mail


The trip to Gillette Stadium was his first and included meetings with Patriots coaches, a quick hello to defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, and plenty of film work. One aspect that stood out to Alualu was when coaches put him on the board, asking him to diagram a play they had watched on film.

"A big part was knowing the game and not just what you do, but what everyone else is doing as well," he said. "At Cal, I might know what the D-linemen and a few linebackers were doing. The Patriots, on the board, I had to know everyone's position and what they were doing at different times."

In many ways, Alualu sounds like the type of player the Patriots would target -- tough, passionate and grounded. He describes himself as a player who is never satisfied, which has been the case since his Pop Warner days, when Ta'avoa would tell him he could always do better.

Off the field, the Patriots had to appreciate that one of Alualu's biggest concerns prior to his trip was supervision for his children. With Desiré working toward becoming a nurse, Alualu turned to his deep family playbook and said his mind was at ease knowing his sister-in-law Tita was there to watch Tyreé and Dereon.

Saying this has been a lifelong dream and that he's excited to start a new chapter in his life, Alualu's journey to the NFL has been anything but typical.

Maybe the next chapter will unfold in New England.

alualu's an interesting prospect. . . the scouting reports i've read tend to differ on whether he projects as an effective five-technique at the next level, although they typically agree that he projects well to three-technique. . . he obviously doesn't have ideal length for the position, which of course doesn't mean that he can't be effective there nonetheless-- you have to love a defensive lineman with a high motor, they don't come around that often. . .

i'm wondering if he won't ultimately fit best in a hybrid role, rotating at 5-tech in passing situations and playing inside in the nickel and dime. . . i'd say i still prefer lamarr houston because he projects as a potential fulltime starter in the base defense, but i certainly wouldn't hate drafting alualu. . .

Thanks Ziggy for the read. More than interesting.

I agree with dogfish's point of view on the subject. He spells my point of view on the prospect better than I can myself. He is a solid prospect, but as a five technique is not complete, and would be better used in a purely three technique method, or as suggested, a hybrid. Honestly though, even with Green as an aged rotational and Alualu as a hybrid, I would prefer other players to be addressed at positions of greater need (and great skill at thier positions) then where Alualu is projected. Just my take.

USC wide receiver Damian Williams is set to conduct a private workout with the Denver Broncos on Thursday, per a league source with knowledge of the situation.

One of the highest-ranked wide receiver prospects, Williams is also set to work out for the Atlanta Falcons on Saturday.

Williams has upcoming visits with the Broncos and the St. Louis Rams next Monday and Tuesday.

Williams ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds at the NFL scouting combine, also registering a 38-inch vertical leap. He bench pressed 225 pounds 19 times and turned in a 9-10 broad jump.

The 6-foot-1, 197-pounder caught 70 passes for 1,010 yards and six touchdowns last season.

He also doubled as a dangerous punt returner, averaging 14.2 yards per return.

As a sophomore after transferring from Arkansas, Williams caught 58 passes for 869 yards and nine touchdowns.

Williams caught 12 passes for 189 yards in an Emerald Bowl win over Boston College in his final game for the Trojans.

He's projected as a second-round draft pick.

Add Dan Williams.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/....html&team=137

If you want depth in this year’s draft class, look no further than the defensive tackle position.

Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh and Oklahoma’s Gerald McCoy may grab all of the headlines, but there are at least four other defensive tackles that have a shot at the first round.

One of those “other four” is Tennessee’s Dan Williams, who is working out for the Denver Broncos Thursday, per a league source.

The 6’2”, 327-pounder recorded 61 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and nine quarterback hurries for the 7-6 Volunteers in 2009. Williams capped the year by earning first-team Associated Press All SEC honors.

In addition to Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain and Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant, Williams has been one of the players linked to the Broncos and their first-round pick (11th overall) this offseason.

Denver ranked 26th in the NFL against the run in 2009 (128.7 yds/gm) and gave up an average of 30.5 points per game over their last four outings (0-4), so it makes a lot of sense for them to address the defense with their first-round pick.

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/....html&team=137

LSU defensive tackle Al Woods is one of the fastest rising draft prospects with some NFL teams projecting him as a second round or third-round target.

LSU defensive lineman Al Woods is moving up the charts and may be drafted much earlier than initially projected.
Woods has conducted private workouts for the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos, according to a source close to the program with knowledge of the situation.

The 6-foot-4, 309-pounder has run the 40-yard dash under 5.0 seconds and posted a 37-inch vertical leap. The vertical leap is extremely explosive for a lineman as big as Woods.

Regarded highly for his athleticism, Woods is known for being coachable, unselfish and hard-working.

Woods started just one season for the Tigers after playing behind Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Ricky Jean-Francois and Marlon Favorite, improving his conditioning heading into his senior year.

He registered 33 tackles, 5 1/2 for losses and one sack last season.

Woods bench pressed 225 pounds just 23 times, but his strength is in his legs and he was an anchor for the LSU front seven.

Here is one thing though that has been building momentum in my mind....


As we know, Josh and his team like to bring the guys in they want to draft.... So its not always the case, but more or less, the guys we interview/workout are likely to be our player vs those who are not.....

I think we can all agree on this.
Here is what i am thinking:




We have brought in tons of talent for the top 10 or 11 picks.. But have we brought in that many guys that are "rated" in the teens to twenties??

I am not so sure... Pouncey, spoon,odrick,cody.



Point is, I do not think we will be looking to trade down by any means, unless someone breaks the bank. Most of the players we have brought in are all players to be taken within the top 11. This also shows one other (maybe) telling sign. Of the next "tier" of players that we are looking at, quite a few of them are early 2nd rdrs. Now once again we could be doing our diligence to know who the top of the 2nd tier are and see who falls to us at pick 12. Or are we planning on getting a pick in the early 2nd?.........




If we draft Dez Bryant at 11, then I am positive we will trade marshall and look to end up with a pick in the early 2nd rd, while still maitaining our normal 2nd... Maybe stl for their #33 and a future 3rd that could escalate to a 2nd....just an idea. Main thing is we are looking at guys withing our draft selection range and not many outside of it, suggesting that if the jMFmcd way holds true we will not be trading down.

None. It's all a carefully planned diversion used by McDaniels in his never ending quest to take over the entire universe.

updating a previous post of mine, after much further in depth research i found that we did bring in ayers, moreno, bruton, mckinnely, quinn, alphonso smith

we didnt bring in mcbath, olsen or brandstater

so its a good bet at least 3 of the players we worked out will end up in denver, but its also true anything is possible....

Hell Ya! My boy Carlton Mitchell is getting a look. He was one of my guys in the sleeper thread. Big, strong, fast, just raw. I like.

I'm hopeful based on the string of events that Arrelious Benn is getting a serious look by the Broncos. After the private workout, the Broncos brought Benn back a week later for an additional meeting. He is getting more than his fair share of attention around the league though so we'll see (and obviously I'm a proponent of drafting him)...

I also like Eric Decker coming in for a look. His routes are precise and while not a speedster, he does have a solid burst to create separation when it counts.

Getting Benn will require the Broncos to use thier 2nd round pick on him. I love him as a prospect, so I'm not against it. I don't know if it happens if Marshall is still on the roster though.

Personally I think he could get consideration by teams before the Broncos actually pick in the second round. He has gotten more than his fair share of looks by teams and despite his poor college production people like his physical style of play. Benn may well fall to us in the second round as he is currently projected, we'll see.

I agree that if Marshall sticks around the likelihood of grabbing a WR that high in the draft drops, but it depends on what the Broncos think. The decision to get Moreno last year was proof enough that perceived need alone is not always the primary concern. That and being Benn has been to Denver more than once for the Broncos to see and meet increases the chance they choose to look at him regardless of the current WR picture with eyes on the future.

Personally, from my point of view, given the number of solid players in the second round and beyond, If Marshall is still in Denver for the 2010 season I would prefer to look at WR later in the draft since you'll have time to develop.

We'd need to get into the late 1st or early 2nd for Benn. I still say send BM to Tamp for their 2 second rounders. Take Benn w/ the first one, Asamoah w/ ours and a NT prospect w/ Tamps's other #2.

that would be like a dream scenario, but i highly doubt the glazers would give even one of their 2nds for a guy they'll have to turn around and give a massive contract to. . . tampa's been running like thirty million per year below the cap-- probably because the glazers have reportedly been taking a beating on their soccer team. . .

I know it's unlikely, but they also have a bunch of picks and a need for a weapon for their franchise QB to throw to.
