The Broncos on Wednesday signed free-agent fullback Austin Sylvester.
Sylvester spent five weeks on the team’s practice squad in 2011, and was on the club’s active roster for two games — including its AFC Wild Card win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 6-foot-1, 255-pound fullback, originally signed as a college free agent from the University of Washington, didn’t appear in any games during his rookie campaign, which also included a two-week stint on Tampa Bay’s practice squad.

The only way to get the top player at his position is to move up and I don`t think thats going to happen. Stay at #25 and take who`s available at whatever player or position needs to be filled. My #1 player if I had to pick is Dontari Poe DT Memphis. Thats if he`s even available at #25.
This is my Draft board of who`s avaiable at #25.
1. Dontari Poe DT
2. Mark Barron S
3. Donta Hightower MLB
4. Vontaze Burfict MLB
5. Fletcher Cox
Alabama D was ranked 1st in the NCAA. OSU was 61st….just saying.
In that Order, so if Poe is gone before we pick then the next in line is Barron for our 1st pick, and so on.
OSU Offence would make Alabama’s D look like clowns no love for the Big 12
I forgot a CB. If I had to pick a CB in the first I`d go Jenkins or Dennard.
I think changes are coming. I’ve seen some people project WAS taking Tannehill at #6 (?) Seems a stretch for a QB with less than 30 starts in college. That would shake things up a bit. If a run starts on OT’s, that could muddy things up. Hard to say right now but that’s a good list, strand. Any one of those guys would definitely help shore up the D.
In that case, DO, you may have a point. ‘Scuse please.
I have alot of respect for the SEC but I`m a USC fan at heart. Will be one of the tops next season with Matt Barkley at the helm. I can`t stand Lane Kiffin though, not a good person.
We need a CB badly in the 1st or 2nd. I can see us getting a CB in either.
The Broncos have so many ways to go. Fun to prject on. All in fun, just idea`s is all.
DenverOrange, I would point out that OSU’s offense couldn’t handle Iowa State’s D and they finished 6-7! They had their shot and missed it loosing to an unranked team. It would have been an interesting game but remember Oklahoma a couple of years ago? They averaged close to 60 points a game and got beat. You don’t always win a track meet even if you have the better track team. Runners have been known to trip on occasion.
Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of EFX! lol
yah i just hope last years rookies get better and we draft good and maybe have a decent FA class. Gotta keep BUNK,MAYS, but i still hope we find a beast at DT,CB,MLB and a future star at running back!! i think that goodman has to go!
Also curious to see if any FA’s from Jags that may want to come play for JDR. I know there’s a couple of them.
Good call Royal. I diidn`t think of that. Cool! Any DE`s you know of that are FA `s from the Jags. I see us getting a DE in FA, a gut feeling though.
Thanks Henryac. And like you said, changes on the horizon after the college combine. It gives us something to talk about.
I see some mock drafts having K.C. taking Trent Richardson RB from Bama. God I hope not. I hope Richardson is gone well before the Chiefs pick. That would suck for us. Yikes!!
A quote by S.F. HC Jim Harbaugh; QB Alex Smith is our guy, you saw what he did in the NFC Championship game.
i think we the broncos will draft another DE I personally like whitney mercilus out of illinois and move doom back to linebacker to maximaze his talents. And then a DT in the second thats how i see it……….
Sorry strand.. had to go run an errand. I’d have to look at FA list.
what website is the FA list on ?
Walterfootball. I`m going to check it out now myself.
ok thanks
Two Jags DE`s. Jeremy Mincey age 28 and he had 8 sacks in 2011. And also Matt Roth who struggled with concussions last year.
Henryac,
I would point out that just days before that game OSU had another tragic plane crash just ten years after one that killed 10 Basketball players and coaches. But I guess emotions don’t have anything to do with football
No biggy Royal. I just now had taken a gander. Jeremy Mincey would fit in nicely knowing Del Rio`s scheme. Thats doable I think for a FA signing. We need a DE pass rusher big time.
Thanks strand – was just looking it up and found Mincey. Knew there was a couple of them. Mincey looks to be a good find.
8 sacks – sweet. Jags may try to re-sign him.
Promising I think, and a 28 year old isn`t to old for a FA signing to fill in the blanks for a few years. Well, 8 sacks is good, decent enough for me.
We`ll find out in a few months, huh? HaHa!!
Raiders just released CB Stanford Routt.
Yeah we sure will – be nice to be able to sign him – Mincey!
Steelers just released CB Bryant McFadden.
If for whatever reason the Broncos try and move up in the draft, I see them selecting RB Trent Richardson, DE Melvin Ingram, or Quinton Coples DE. From what I heard, during the SR. Bowl practices the Broncos targetted Melvin Ingram in talks through the week. Intersting.
The chips are falling. Time for teams to get under their caps. HaHa!!
Who knows, maybe the Broncos will go after a CB in FA and in the draft.
I say no way to Whitney Mercilus….one year wonder. In general, I’m skeptical of most Big 10 D-linemen. (the O-linemen on the other hand!!!). As long as we get some beef for the middle, or a beast in the middle, I won’t complain much…
Broncos Country Strong 2012!
If you want to see Austin from High School days check this funny video of him!!

I guess i will be the first to make some waves in all this draft conversation. I want us to draft Blackmon WR. OSU. I just feel like this guy is gonna be an absolute monster in the NFL. I think we need a big time reciever to go along with DT on the outside and put Decker in the slot. Depending on how the moves for the QBs fall, Blackmon might fall to fifth in the draft but not much more than that. Our chances of getting him are slim and none but maybe if a trade is worked out for TT and the Jags. In no way am i saying i want TT traded. Trust me i dont but i would be all for the broncos going after Peyton Manning. Reguardless of all that….I will have my eyes on Blackmon for several years to come because i believe he is going to be huge for whatever team gets him much like how i have watched my favorite pick of last year in Patrick Peterson.
Now that is one hilarious video Charles. Thank you sir!
Glad to hear Sylvester is back,put him in and let him plow the way!!!
Just got my computer back fropm the “hospital” asa it was infected with a nasty virus. GGGGAAAHHH!!! Never though I’d get through all the new blogs.
Bay, if you’re still blogging on to see what’s up, sorry that the venom got to you. I will really miss your insight and opions even though we sometimes differed.
