My general theory is I’d like to see something from the UDFAs on the NFL level before getting too excited. In minicamps it was very tough to tell if any of them can play – the practices just aren’t for linemen. Some have decent collegiate track records, but to depend on anyone that didn’t get drafted for seven rounds in a league that covets good defensive linemen perhaps more than any other position but quarterback, it’s difficult. But they all have a chance to make it, considering the unproven players ahead of them. It’s a position I’ll watch closely in camp and report on here.

Really? Nothing at all about any of the UDFAs?

That is where our depth and competition are. We have Chris Baker who can play NT and DE plus has experience in a 3-4 defense at Hampton plus had great production last year but played against weak competition.

We also have Rulon Davis who can play at DE, has experience at DE from his time at Cal. Recognized as a real hard worker with high character.

Then, we have Everette Pedescleux who is a monster of a man 6-6 305. Played DT in a 4-3 at UNI had great production against weak competition. Has freakish physical abilities possesses tons of upside.

Terrell, good to hear from you. Keep checking back, I promise the blog will be a very busy place for information during training camp and the season, as will my Twitter account @fs3142. I’ll update the blog continuously during camp, for all the Broncos fans that can’t be out at Dove Valley.
