Denver Broncos 2012 Draft Preview

Posted Thu Apr 26th by

Round Six

188. Coryell Judie, CB, Texas A&M

Coryell Judie is a bit of an Eric Decker story.

This young corner’s stock has fallen due to an injury that caused him to miss six games his senior season. That means all the better for teams looking for a gem in the later rounds.

Like Robert Griffin, Judie was a high school track star. Football did not begin for Judie until his Senior year of high school.

Receiving no scholarships, Judie played football at Fort Scott Community College.

During his time at FSCC, he was absolutely dominate as a corner and a kick returner.

As a sophomore at FSCC he was widely avoided by teams (known as Champ Bailey syndrome).

A top JUCO recruit, Judie committed to nearby Texas A&M. During his first season with the Aggies Judie tallied 57 tackles, 4 interceptions, and two kick returns for touchdowns.

Despite being injured for half of the season during his senior year, Judie still made some amazing plays. On the opening kickoff against LSU, Judie returned the kick 69 yards before being forced out of bounds.

Judie possesses both great man and zone abilities. Another positive is his size and speed (6’0 194). At the combine Judie ran a 4.48 (unofficially 4.38).

Denver needs more depth at corner and kick returner. Fortunately for the Broncos, Judie can do both of these things well.

I said it before with Tank Carder. The Broncos need to focus on getting players that can fight for the starting spot (nickel corner in this case) and who can also instantly impact special teams. Chris Harris may have had a strong rookie season, but there is no reason not to provide him some competition.

Another Aggie on the defensive roster for the Broncos. It worked out pretty well for Denver last year, right?

Other Possibilities: Well it’s the sixth round, prospects are getting kind of scarce here. The Broncos may go for more defensive tackle depth like Nicholas Jean-Baptiste or maybe pick up a running back to push Lance Ball like Tauren Poole or Edwin Baker.

    I’m not sure they go with Osweiler.  The Broncos are in the “win it now” phase and don’t have the luxury of wasting a pick on a developmental player.  I would be happy with the rest of your draft though.  I like Mike Martin a lot.

     for some reason i just cant see osweiler lasting until we pick in the third, in fact i can see him gone by our second round pick. 

    here’s a quandry, what if we pick a dt in the first round- say brockers… and we get to our pick and another one is there that we had our eye on at 25… say someone like reyes is still there?  double down on dt?

    I would not disagree with any of your picks, but I also think that if you are looking for a dark horse in the 4-6 rounds,   Bobby Wagner, the LB from Utah might be a possibility.  especially if they trade down to get two picks in the 2nd.   I also like the Wolfe pick, I think he is going to be a good player, maybe better than Stills or Worthy.

     Opps, return key error.  I also think that there is wisdom in Jebow’s thoughts on the QB.  If they have a chance to get a good DB in there, that is a real possibility.  depends on how they view the future.  Can’t wait to see what happens, I have no idea. Last year I picked 1 name, Rahime Moore, and got him in the wrong round, ( pure luck) so what do I know

    Great read and interesting choices! . . . Martin at #120 is a real eye-popper . . . might think of taking him at #108.

    I really like Bobby Wagner and I was thinking about slotting him too.

    I do love Martin.

    You never see him fall on the ground, his center of balance is amazing.
