FWIW, Mel Kiper likes Matlock and said he thought he would go in rounds 4-5...DT a big PON for Bolts...and Patterson, the Golden Domer C, went a pick later...

Tom Telesco's drafts are like missionary through a bed sheet.

I am sure they do their diligence with scouting
and just because we don't know a name - doesn't mean not good

but his best pick so far might be the LB in R3

Matlock is a ST and backup. Looks more like a UDFA JAG to me.

FWIW, They absolutely love this guy in Boise.

IOL depth. He'll make a decent depth piece.

That’s interesting since he played defense.

Just have to hope QJ, Tuli and Daiyan come in and do what TT and Staley are expecting and are the real deal and Jordan McFadden is a solid olinemen that plays well if he is called upon, and we have a great returner.

Now we will enter the phase where TT and Staley try and sell these players on the fans and convince us they were the perfect picks for what we need. The results won't lie.

Second coming of Dielman?

This on Matlock from CBS sports: 9. Scott Matlock, DL, Boise State


If there was just one Bronco on this list, most would have guessed safety J.L. Skinner. However, Matlock has good size at 6-foot-4, 300 pounds. The Idaho native shows good movement skills and does a good job of shedding blocks in the run game. He managed seven sacks from his interior defensive line position last fall.

According to PFF, it took Matlock 2.55 seconds, on average, to apply pressure.

I could have stopped caring about this draft after the first 3 rounds. I get the feeling these guys don't know WTF they're doing once you get past the top 100 players.

I think you can change it "after the first round"

I like they have added speed at the wR - so thats good

Proof will be in the record - thats all that matters. Right now, I have them slightly better than last year and that is just based on personnel. But thats not beating KC and winning the division. Which should be the gawd damn goal.

Kiss of death . . . . . . .

I don't think Telesco is making the decisions. I think it's Staley for D and Kellen Moore for O.

That would explain why they didn't take Mayer...and Patterson...and...

Don’t know anything about Matlock, heard a couple good things about him after he was drafted, which is promising. He also looks like he got straight off a Viking Ship.
