With the 219th pick, the Broncos select Matt Judon, DE, Grand Valley State. I can't believe this kid is still on the board at this stage of the draft. One thing I've learned about my GM self during this draft is when presented with the "need or value" scenario, I'm nabbing value just about every time.

Player Overview
Judon led the nation - at any level - with 20 sacks in 2015 and was named the 2015 GLIAC Defensive Lineman of the Year by the conference's coaches.
He leaves as Grand Valley State's all-time leader with 34 career sacks, surpassing the previous record of 32.5 set by Dan Skuta, who now plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Judon was a two-time first-team All-GLIAC performer who recorded 72 tackles, including 19.0 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks, in 2014. That came after taking a medical redshirt in 2013 due to a knee injury.
He also missed four games in 2012 with an undisclosed injury, producing 37 tackles, 7.0 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks while starting eight games. Judon played in the final seven games as a freshman, finishing with 14 tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and a pair of sacks.

Strengths Weaknesses
STRENGTHS: Looks the part of an NFL defensive end, sporting a well-built frame with broad shoulders, long arms and a trim middle. Good initial quickness off the snap, accelerating smoothly to routinely cross the face of tackles as an edge rusher or when pulling to stunt back inside.
Good flexibility to dip under the reach of tackles, showing agility and balance to turn the corner, as well as a closing burst to attack the ballcarrier. Coordinated athlete who breaks down well in space to lasso ballcarriers, showing good lateral agility, balance and patience to force opponents to commit before he does.
Fights to keep contain, showing the speed to beat backs wide and force them back inside. Long, strong arms to grab hold of ballcarriers and pull them to the ground. Good situational awareness. Gets his hands up in passing lanes and rips at the ball when pursuing from behind, forcing eight fumbles over his career.
WEAKNESSES: Was a man amongst boys at the D-II level and could struggle acclimating to the increased competition he'll face in the NFL. Overly reliant on his athleticism, showing limited development in his use of hands, to this point.
Too often leaves his chest vulnerable and struggles to disengage once blockers latch on. Has struggled with durability over his career, missing virtually all of the 2013 season with a torn ACL, four games in 2012 with an undisclosed injury and the 2016 East-West Shrine Game with a "minor" injury suffered during postseason training for the all-star game and workouts.
IN OUR VIEW: While Judon comes with obvious level of competition questions, make no mistake, he was a dominant force at the D-II level, leading the nation (at any level) with 20 sacks in 2015.
From a technique perspective, Judon is a work in progress but he boasts an NFL-caliber combination of build, burst and bend sure to earn him a draft selection - quite possibly overtaking current Dallas Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr (fifth round, 140th overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2008) as the highest pick in GVSU history.

The Pittsburgh Steelers select.....

BJ Goodson, LB, Clemson

Goodson_BJ_FSU1_700.jpg


Going into this draft, the Steelers had a lot of needs. I filled every single need for the most part, except one. ILB depth. Goodson takes care of that for me. He's a leader, an instinctive player, sure tackler, great at stacking and shedding, with some solid coverage skills. You'd have to ask @DaveFan'51 but I believe he has a 122 SPARQ score, which is pretty good. He's a very good athlete and should provide great depth for us, and maybe even take over for Lawrence Timmons one day.

@Riverumbbq is on the clock, then we have multiple community picks.
Nice pick @TheDYVKX!! Sorry I can't Back you up on that SPARQ score. Because I didn't have him on my Board! I'll except your number as Fact!!;)(y)

You're slacking, Dave. I thought you had everyone :ROFLMAO:. My board runs deep . I still have 45 more draftable guys at all positions, only 11 at positions I want for the Steelers though.

Since New England traded Garappolo to the Rams, and you guys swiped every other QB I was close to taking as a developmental player under Brady, i'll take NATE SUDFELD, QB, INDIANA with pick # 221 before nobody is left available.
Can't go wrong with someone from Indiana River!! (y)My Parents and most of my 7 Brothers and Sisters are from their!:D Of course I was born in California! that's why I'm always so .. :confused:

I'll second both. I especially like the Aaron Green pick.
