Nolan Isaac Sopoaga Scouting Report - Scouts, Inc. Grade: 71 | Key
Comment: Sopoaga is a massive space-eater that plays with a natural pad level, making it very difficult to root him off the line of scrimmage. He is more effective defending the inside run than rushing the passer or making plays on the perimeter, but does an excellent job tying up blockers and keeping his linebackers free to run to the ball. He does a good job feeling and fighting back through pressure and has very strong hands when defeating and shedding blockers. He has above-average initial quickness and adequate agility on the inside, but lacks the lateral range and speed to make many plays on the perimeter.
Randy Starks Scouting Report - Scouts, Inc. Grade: 79 | Key
Comment: Starks had another productive season in 2011. He is a big, strong, powerfully built interior defender. Starks plays with excellent pad level and can hold the point well defending the run. He is a quick reactor as blocking schemes unfold. He has strong hands to stymie blockers and restrict running lanes as well as push the pocket while rushing the passer. Look for Starks to continue to be a steady force in 2012.
Sean Smith Scouting Report - Scouts, Inc. Grade: 77 | Key
Comment: Smith is one of the biggest corners in the league with strength that lets him reroute receivers of the line of scrimmage. He runs well but isnt great at transitioning quickly out of his backpedal. He understands angles as a run defender and route progressions versus the pass. Smith uses his length to outmaneuver receivers with the ball in the air and was an impact player for the Dolphins in 2011.

Greg B. Jones Scouting Report - Scouts, Inc. Grade: 62 | Key
Comment: Jones is a big, powerful back who can line up as a lead-blocking fullback or as a hard-nosed short-yardage and goal-line specialist. He has a little straight line to him but will show good acceleration burst as he hits the hole and gets to the second level. He does a good job of keeping is pad level down and running behind his pads when running between the tackles, but will take a little too long to turn the corner when trying to get outside. He is a decent receiver out in the flats, but is not a natural receiver and can struggle when trying to react and adjust to downfield throws.
Comment: Britton is a good-sized tackle who has the position versatility to line up on the inside at guard if needed. He has above-average foot quickness and agility and is a good knee bender who can keep his pad level down to leverage blocks. However, he has missed significant time in the last two seasons with a shoulder and back injuries and needs to show he can stay healthy for a full season. He understands blocking schemes and angles and is quick to pick up games up front, like twists and stunts.
These are the guys I can think of off the top any guys from the Broncos out there. I used espn preseason analysis any thoughts on these guys from this season's production.
