Don't eliminate Lorenzo Doss from your 53-man rosters quite yet.

  • Doss was projected to be a 4th-5th rounder in the 2015 draft--Denver took him in the fifth, where he played behind Talib, Harris, and Roby.  In 2016, that secondary was the best in the NFL.
  • He ran a 4.47 at the combine.  He is 5'10" and 24, fwiw.
  • He had 15 interceptions in college in 3 years. 
  • At the Broncos camp last year, he was awesome.  One reporter tweeted during a scrimmage with SF, " Another pick 6 for Lorenzo Doss! That's 9 picks in camp so far. "

So far, he has been a ball hawk in Carolina.  Today was the third straight OTA with an interception. 

Q:  SO WHY  DID THE BRONCOS CUT DOSS LAST YEAR ON THANKSGIVING DAY?

A:  He missed a meeting on Thanksgiving day before practice.  It was not his first missed meeting.  Denver was 3-9 and Elway wanted to send the team a message. 

It just seems that this DB understands how to get interceptions because he gets them whenever he is on a football field.  Buried on the bench of the best secondary in the NFL in Denver (aided by one of the best pass rushes in the NFL), expect Doss to fight Corn, Captain, and Seymour for a spot on the roster.  We could use a ball hawk in the secondary. 

I have been saying this for a while--the CBs on this roster are young, improving, and could be a real factor.  They are not going to be the Achilles' heel many believe.  Just watch.

Lol keep him over Seymour? I would say Captain with no hesitation.

This is my first thought--a post Jun 1 cut...save some money.

Problem is cutting Captain doesn't really save much and he's definitely our best nickel on the roster. And no Jackson is not a nickel. With no TD first 4 weeks we'll be running a ton of nickel CB and we need Captain for that.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
