I have some ideas in mind, too, that may be a bit surprising.

Either of you is free to slot in my pick of Calvin Dawson from ULM as the next Broncos late-day/FA RB.

He seems like our sort of pick for the position.

Some of the names I've been looking at are the unpopular picks. If he declares, I really like Darry Beckwith.

Interesting.

I don't expect him to come out - with Highsmith outta there and a potentially healthy season ahead he could jump a round easy with a good year.

Of course, with his DC having left maybe he'd feel it's time...I just don't expect it.

Would you think he'd stick at Mike? The kid can be a punishing hitter, I'll say that.

Don't everyone get too excited and go out and start looting and burning down stuff... but I have great news....
The Steelers are expected to allow FB Dan Kreider to hit the free agent market this offseason.

Carey Davis has become a preferred option in Bruce Arians' attack, which requires pass catching at fullback. Kreider, 30, is an old fashioned lead blocker.

He might have to add a few pounds to play the Mike in the NFL, but I think the kid will be a complete stud. I like him more than Highsmith already. I can't remember where I read it, but i do remember reading that he was about 50/50 on his decision to declare. If he does, I'd be all over him.

I'm going on what I've sen and gut feeling.

Steitz is probably a second rounder. I want help at DT and LB with our first two picks (unless circumstances dictate Phillips with our first pick, or unless we make free agent aquisitions to change our needs).

Given this secenario, since we don't have a third-round pick, we need to look for a safety in the fourth round. I'm looking at a couple of prospects: Bobby Williams, Bethune Cookman, in the fourth. And Corey Lynch, Appalachian State, in the 7th round. Both are ballhawks. Look at a first round safety in 2009.

Some people on the board don't like Sedrick Ellis, saying he's too small. He's too small to play Jim Bates DTackle, but that's no longer an issue. He's a tiny bit smaller than Dorsey (1" and 4 pounds); but he's even faster than Dorsey.

Look at Nic Harris and Wess Woodyard in the 4th.

On USC's site, Ellis is listed at 305............And to me, he looks like he weighs closer to that.

4th round might be a little high for Bobby Williams, but I'm thinking he will climb as the draft approaches. 14 interceptions over his career. 4.55 40 time is not so great. I like Quintin Demps but he won't be around in the fourth round.

Woodyard is interesting as a strong safety. But I'm think we need a good free safety more. Will Woodyard be able to play safety in the NFL. He was an outside linebacker at Kentucky, wasn't he?

Has Nic Harris declared for the draft? I see mock drafts that have him going in the first round if he does come out.

A guy I LOVE at safety (if he's fast enough to play it) is Derrick Dogget, from Oregon State. He played lineback at 215 this year and was dominant. But he can't play linebacker in the NFL at 215. Can he play safety? If so, keep an eye on him.

Corey Lynch, out of Appalachian State, had 24 career interceptions, making me interested in him in the seventh round. He's not very fast. 4.65. White man's disease.

Woodyard will have to play safety in the NFL unless he gains 20 pounds or more.

I don't think Nic Harris would be a 1st rounder if he came out, which may convince him to stay.

VAPORIZER ANSWER

If William Moore (Willy Mo) from Missou comes out, he can play safety for me. Don't think he'd make the 4th round tho. I like Demps as well and would be perfectly happy if he fell to us.

But Woodyard has the makings of a monster in him. He moved to LB because that's what the team needed, not because he couldn't play safety. I'm curious to see if he leans up before the draft to try to make a play for safety or eats a bunch of ho-hos to try to stay at Will LB.

Woodyard can come play SS for me any time. We need both, and Woodyard back there could only help us, especially as a second-day pick with potential impact.
