Thread: John Elway pre-draft presser

I have said this before none of the top LT are shoe in LT. All have questions, franchise potential LT go in top 10. These guys imo are all solid RTs.

I think other OL needy teams will draft them ahead of us. Raven bengals and colts can easily reach. Miami could us a RT and may as well. Elway has been one of the better GM for not reaching in round one. Lynch is different because the QB position is rated more heavy and he was the #3 rated QB who elway traded up for.

Meh, everyone thought Travis Fredrick was a 3-4 round pick. It's an inexact science, like actuarial science.

Our first pick will be either a RB, WR or a badass d guy- like foster..I bet its him. I want him.

I still think Bolles is our guy at 20. But man, if Foster was to drop, I'd be so excited. Unless we passed on him ...

Until he is a Bronco.

Then he's the next Joe Thomas, bitches..

So meta.

Forrest lamp...t rex. He is the most spund technique and prob best OL. He was LT in college. Can he be a joe thomas? If he is athletic enough and good solid techniques i think 1/4" shorter arm then joe thomas could be ok.

What are his arms?

32 1/4 -- that's an obstacle. I'd let him have a go at Shane and Von, see how it works out...but that sounds like a dude on his way to playing G.

Typically yes. And tha is where everyone is projecting him at. But just thinking that the best OL who has sound technique and experience at LT could do it.

Joe Thomas is 33 3/4", Lamp left Senior Bowl with shorter arms than Emmanuel Samders. And it's not just arm length, his wingspan is pathetic.

Bottom of report in parentheses.

Btw, Elway was preparing fans for the reality that Sampro could be their starting LT, which would indicate that they don't value LT any more than FB.

That and Elway doesn't like to waste his picks. They stick around until he sure they suck, then he dumps them.

Except Rahim Moore?

He didn't waste that pick, that was Kubiak's pick.
