Waiver Claims

[Mister Hoarse]

I think Ekeler will be Woodhead in our system.

it's surprising yet nerve racking that behind Verrett and Hayward we only have Williams and King

[SDFan]

Just from reading Bronco's fans posts, Schofield looks to be a guard on the upswing that was horrible at T but deserves a backup guard slot. Looks like the end for Tuerk when he comes back.

you are assuming Pulley stays healthy...

Feeney is swing G/C.

From PFT:

James O'Shaughnessy nearly had more teams interested in his services than he has career receptions.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, six teams put in waiver claims on the former Patriots tight end.

He was awarded to the Jaguars based on record. The Bills, Colts, Chargers, Jets and Saints also put in claims.

Because the Bolts can never have too many TEs.

I believe that Richards and Jenkins can fill in at cb.

[Boltjolt]

Jenkins? I dot think they will use him at CB.

Yeah, problem is, this doesn't just apply to CB.

Cool, never got how Dzubnar lasted this long.

[Fleet]

Not that a draft profile matters. But it cant hurt. Maybe he can continue to develop.

Draft Analysis:

Pullard was a rare 4 year starter for USC and has experience playing in a 34 and 43. He needs big bodies in front of him to keep him clean but he is an excellent run and chase linebacker with plus coverage ability. --Mark Dulgerian

Strengths

Patient. Won't hit the gas unless it's necessary. Leverages outside runs and doesn't give away cutback lanes very often. Athletic mover in space and has functional closing speed. Functional change-of-direction player. Transitions with smooth hips and acceleration to chase perimeter passes. Can mirror in man coverage and has solid ball skills. He's willing to throw his body into a tackle. Scouts like his leadership.Weaknesses

Not a tough guy on tape. Will back up and give ground to stay clean against second-level blocks rather than slip them. Doesn't possess violent hands and has trouble shedding blocks. Must improve his play strength. Lacks a downhill, attacking quality. Has athleticism and instincts to play middle but might lack "mean." Has tackle numbers, but hasn't had a sack in two years and has caused or recovered very few turnovers during that time.Draft Projection

Round 6 or 7NFL Comparison

Lamin BarrowBottom Line

Athletic linebacker who falls into a habit of letting plays come to him rather than making things happen. While lacking an aggressive strike as a tackler, Pullard has the athleticism to be a solid NFL player. He has to find a scheme that can keep him clean or he might be just another linebacker.Related Links
