The owner of everyone's favorite big board and Eddie Muster cosplay hairdo, Mel Kiper, chatted with some local media types this morning about the Broncos' draft hopefuls and thinks several could hear their name called on draft weekend—and keep in mind, these assessments are prior to this weekend's scouting combine. Like most others, Kiper is high on Boise State safety Darian Thompson and thinks his play-making ability and biggish frame could propel him into the second round:
"...in this league, to be able to find the ball skills and be able to go out there and just impact the game and force turnovers, that's Darian Thompson's game"
When focus turned to early draft entrant Kamalei Correa, Kiper seemed to think that Correa made the correct choice foregoing his senior campaign (and apparently vehemently disagrees with my assessment that Correa should stay for 8 more years).
