Jeremiah has high praise for 6th rounder Henderson

[Jsteve01]

I have to admit I didn't know anything about the kid until I watch some film after the draft. He impressed me. Good balance. Excellent speed. Low center-of-gravity. Never goes down with arm tackles.

RB De'Angelo Henderson, Broncos, Round 6 (pick 203): Henderson was one of my favorite players to study. He's built like Maurice Jones-Drew and he has a nice blend of speed and power. He lacks ideal height but he's tough to get on the ground. His production was outstanding in college and I think he has starter ability at the next level. The Broncos have had success finding late-round gems at this position and I think Henderson could outplay most of the running backs selected ahead of him in this draft class

I just need him to be better than Hillman.

I believe he's got a lot of potential. I'm concerned the addition of Charles might make him the odd man out, especially if Denver is going to be patient with Booker

If.Charles if healthy and he is indeed healthy don't be suprised if Anderson is cut. Anderson contract and him never being healthy could make him the odd men out.

Gotta keep CJ, Charles, Booker and Henderson. That's four, the Broncos usual limit, which means Janovich better go balls out to make roster. I bet he's headed for PS because they have to keep 10 WR's.

Fwiw, the Chargers roster at beginning of '16 season, McCoy kept three RB's and one FB.

[DT88TheGreat]

Janovich will make the team imo, McCoy will definitely spread teams out and air it out but I think he's going to want to punch teams in the mouth with his new look o line, with those guys making lanes and janovich blowing up a db or backer it could be fun, the play action off that type of stuff to a tight end and our speedy wideouts could be deadly.

[Simple Jaded]

You have three RB's that you have to keep, probably four roster spots and an OC that runs 90% shotgun.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Henderson might end up on the Practice Squad if CJ, JC, and Booker all come out of the preseason unscathed. Don't forget that we also picked up Bernard Pierce in the off season. Pierce played pretty well for the Ravens a few years back. That's 5 RBs with a legit chance of making the roster plus Janovich. Obviously, there's no way we keep them all on the active roster. If Henderson doesn't make the starting squad, it's doubtful that he won't get on the PS unless he absolutely tears it up in preseason and some other club signs him to their starting roster once he's released.

Unless Janovich shows some flexibility as an H-back or is a demon on STs, I honestly don't see him sticking around. McCoy's offense doesn't use a FB much. Frankly, I'd rather have 4 solid RBs than keep a FB that we'll never use and whose minimal on-field time can be substituted by a TE anyway.

[DT88TheGreat]

Henderson isn't going to survive the practice squad, if the Broncos keep cj booker charles u Henderson then maybe jano doesn't make the team, but if cj is cut which I think can happen if he's out performed then jano could make it as our power back who plays some FB, swings out on the edge of the OL and blocks. You know a runner, blocker, special teamer.

If.Charles if healthy and he is indeed healthy don't be suprised if Anderson is cut. Anderson contract and him never being healthy could make him the odd men out.

They are not competing for the starting job. Anderson is the starter and he's competing with Booker for plays. Charles is the 3rd down specialist who is a weapon in space catching the ball out of the backfield. He's also a beast on blitz pickup so that goes well with his 3rd down role.

So, both will be on the roster. They don't want Charles to try and be an every down back because that's how he got injured and ground down. He's valuable but only if they use him right, not give him 20-30 carries a game.

[Simple Jaded]

Vance Joseph literally said they're all competing for the starting job.

[MOtorboat]

I've avoided this thread because I didn't know who Jeremiah was. I still don't know who Jeremiah is.

Henderson and Janovich have tough roads to hoe, unless someone has fallen out of favor that we aren't expecting, say, like Anderson.

[Nomad]

I'm a fan of Janovich. I hope he remains a BRONCO.

I echo MO...who is Jeremiah?

Who said Anderson is the starter? He's proven he is not a franchise back. So I doubt his name is set in stone as the starter, who makes the most money just to perform like an average back. Booker was our leading rusher last year as a rookie while anderson was on the coach injured as he's been his entire career. Anderson should not be the starter. It should be a battle, and if Charles, Booker, HOP all show promise then Anderson should be cut IMO. Money don't match production and games played.

It's most likely Daniel Jeremiah.

Janovich is a goner.

My guess is it's the dude that won my draft guru challenge.

Or was that you?

Janovich is a goner.

Not likely. McCoy carried 4 running backs and a fullback with the Chargers last year.

FB- Janovich

RB- Charles
Anderson
Henderson
Booker

Juwan Thompson and Bernard Pierce are more than likely the goners.

If that's the case then I'd agree, I'm just going by a few depth charts from last couple seasons which showed 3 and 1.

Sounds about right with one slight change. As someone said earlier, I wouldn't be surprised if CJ became expendable. My dark horse is Booker becoming the starter. He was coming off an injury last year and was pressed into duty earlier than expected. His body just wasn't ready for it yet and he hit the rookie wall, but as the season came to an end, he started to flash much more. Pierce supplants CJ as they are pretty much the same type of back. Why pay $3 million when they can pay Pierce the vet minimum?

RB-

Booker-Starter 1A
Charles-Starter 1B
Henderson- Backup
Pierce- Backup

FB-
Janovich

Booker is better than Anderson, that will show, HOP they like, then you have Charles the veteran. Anderson health never being good, booker leading rusher last year by 200 plus yards as a ROOKIE who was lost at times. He'll be more ready this year and production will go up. Meanwhile Anderson will be on the couch like the last 4 years. Charles doesn't have to be an every down back with a booker and HOP. Anderson just isn't wanted anymore by me as a player. You sit and collect checks because your always injured. He can't stay healthy. Ever, so far.

[DT88TheGreat]

He's made his splash of cash for an undrafted RB but as usual these guys sometimes can take nfl contact consistently and their bodies are fragile as far as football. He's got his money and it's time to go.

[DT88TheGreat]

By the way Vance Joseph just said yesterday that the RB positions are wide open. All will battle for 1-2-3 spots.
