Dj Swearinger, whom no one seems to like, including Houston themselves. (I still like him)
Drummond- My happy thoughts from this years draft.

Well...he was just released, so you can keep hope alive

I still have not forgiven him for last off season

Some team will give him a chance, though. If he could cover ANYTHING, it might be worth a shot, but he's basically just a big hitter in the secondary

But he would add some more meaness to our D

If he could tackle or cover ANYONE, that would be great. As it stands, a nasty disposition is all he brings to the table.

Swearinger is a snatch.

The SS we have is much better than Swearinger.

I could be wrong, but its my understanding that the players that we are discussing in this thread are those with a 0.9% chance of making the opening day roster, & the players that have a 0.5% chance that they are bumping from the roster. If they do make the roster, they'll be sitting on the bench or on the PS waiting for us to get destroyed with injuries at their position.

This thread is about undrafted free agents and my post was about an UDFA who would have had a 100% chance of starting at any one of 3 different positions on the OL. And, yes, that includes C, I refuse to accept the notion that there's anything on a football field that Gradkowski can do that Collins could not. . .other than getting beat like a rented mule.

How do you know Denver did not try to go after Collins? Just because we are the Denver Broncos does not mean we can just magically get any player we want. Other teams were going after Collins as well.

I probably did an over kill response to those, who might include the 2 members that I quoted in my post, who are to quick to assume that anyone who's drafted after the 4th round or so won't amount to much. You can tell them we took TD in the 7th, & Rod Smith was an UDFA, & it doesn't matter. Odds are what the odds are, so I tried to show that even those who will probably washout of the league in a year or 2 may be called on to step for a few games this season.

No, I agree, that post was about radio talk at the time saying the Broncos weren't in on Collins.

Because we always tell the local media who we are looking at.

Because the media is always wrong.

Hey Fan,

My post you referenced took issue with the team supposedly believing they can still have great success with this scheme while drafting less talented players. In an earlier post,
G-Money expressed my sentiment much more clearly. Shanahan began to have the same point of view later in his tenure and look where it got him. FIRED! Immensely talented players will make and productive system great.
