1-12 (12) Denver Rey Maualuga ILB USC
NFL comparison: Ray Lewis, Ravens. Maualuga is violent and aggressive, playing with the attitude Lewis brings to the field. Like Lewis, Maualuga can lead his defense for many years.
1-18 (18) Denver Evander 'Ziggy' Hood DT Missouri
NFL comparison: Aaron Smith, Steelers. Hood is athletic, has long arms, is smart and is a fierce competitor, which makes him an ideal 3-4 defensive end.
2-16 (48) Denver Tyson Jackson DE LSU
NFL comparison: Anthony Weaver, free agent. Jackson, like Weaver, does not grab attention with tons of play-making production, but he is strong and consistent against blockers and can dictate what goes on along the line of scrimmage on his side.
3-15 (79) Denver Lardarius Webb S Nicholls State
NFL comparison: Gerald Alexander, Lions. Webb is a bona fide difference-maker, both as a defensive back and a return man. On defense, he is at his best in bump-and-run coverage, where he reroutes receivers off the line. Webb shows top-flight ball skills, and once he intercepts the ball always is looking to score -- and succeeds quite often.
3-20 (84) Denver Derrick Williams WR Penn State
NFL comparison: Santana Moss, Redskins. He is a versatile player whose open-field running ability makes him a threat to break off for a touchdown whenever the ball is in his hands, and he will be an impact player as a jack-of-all-trades in the NFL.
4-14 (114) Denver Terrance Taylor DT Michigan
Taylor is highly regarded, but his lack of height definitely hinders his production. He shows the quickness and athleticism NFL teams covet but must improve his technique, competitiveness and aggressiveness.
5-13 (149) Denver Rhett Bomar QB Sam Houston State
NFL comparison: Matt Schaub, Texans. Bomar is a competitive player who leads by words and example. He's both physically and mentally tough, and he has the temperament to be a starter in the NFL.
6-12 (185) Denver Glover Quin CB New Mexico
He may not be the best athlete at his position, but he compensates with his toughness and intelligence. Quin is best suited to play in a zone coverage scheme that will help hide his marginal speed. He projects as a solid No. 3 or nickel cornerback.
7-16 (225) Denver Matt Shaughnessy DE Wisconsin
Shaughnessy has a chance to become a quality pro but will need more seasoning and will have to add weight, which is why he will drop some on draft boards.
26 (235) Denver Rich Ohrnberger G Penn State
Although Ohrnberger lacks the athleticism NFL teams prefer at guard, he has enough talent to get by as a solid backup and spot starter if he learns to play with better balance and keep his feet moving after initial contact.
*******************
An ILB, lots of 3-4 DE types, an OLB type (I think), WR, QB, G. No true NT.
Seems pretty good. Guess he's projecting Bomar to be the QB McDaniels mentors, while Derrick Williams will either eventually push Gaffney out, or will be future insurance if Marshall continues to get suspended. The developmental guard could probably be Hamilton's future replacement.

NFL comparison: Ray Lewis, Ravens. Maualuga is violent and aggressive, playing with the attitude Lewis brings to the field. Like Lewis, Maualuga can lead his defense for many years.
