James Rogers Sign With Broncos

James Rogers, CB, Michigan has signed with the Denver Broncos as a UDFA. Just a reminder though, this is all unconfirmed. All of it. Seriously.

Can't wait for the scouting reports can you?

Mario Fannin Signs w/ Broncos

Mario Fannin, the highly touted runningback out of Auburn has signed with the Broncos. This is one of the first blockbuster (if you can really call a UDFA signing that) acquisitions for the team. The Broncos have also reportedly agreed to terms with Patrick Hill, FB, Miami.

Scouting Report: Mario Fanning's signing coincides with the announcement that the Broncos have told Correll Buckhalter that he is being cut from the team.

It makes sense that the Broncos would search for a potential backup running back and Fanning is similar in style of play to Buckhalter. They both are elite receivers out of the backfield with solid straight line speed. Fannin has never carried the full-load on a team, which bodes just fine with John Fox as nobody does in his offense. This is without a doubt the Broncos best UDFA signing so far.

Broncos Sign Duo of Wide Receivers

It is reported that Mark Dell, WR, Michigan St. and Marshall Williams, WR, Wake Forest will be signing with the Denver Broncos. This is being reported by @NFLDraftInsider and @NEPatriotsDraft, respectively.

Scouting Report: You always see plenty of Wide Receivers' join as UDFA's because there are so many open spots for them on a roster. The Broncos continue this trend with the signing of Dell and Williams. Two solid signings in the UDFA class.

Mark Dell brings sub-par speed to the table but more than makes up for it with fantastic, sharp routes and solid hands. One of the reasons I liked him in the draft is because he could be a pro-ready contributer. That gives him an extra edge in his attempt to make the Broncos final roster, or at least the practice squad. That said, he does carry potential character-issues, something that had him drop in the draft.

As for Marshall Williams, his reasoning for falling out of the draft was production. That always seems to be a problem for Wake Forest wide receivers, and he is no different. But that's not to say he lacks talent. Williams is an interesting deep threat type prospect who is quick but also has a big body. This rare combo will make him hard to ignore in the Broncos training camp.

Brandon Bing Signs w/ Broncos

In case you weren't totally sure the lockout was over, here's proof: Brandon Bing, CB, Rutgers has signed with the Denver Broncos. Bing marks the beginning of the UDFA Signing Period for the Broncos. (UDFA means Undrafted Free Agent; but if you couldn't figure that out, why are you even on this site?)

Scouting Report: You probably haven't heard of Brandon Bing, and I honestly hadn't paid much attention to him other than being a counter-part to Safety Joe Lefeged. Here is what I do know about him: First of all, he's fast. That must have appealed to EFX, as I remember that being his most notable trait. I believe he ran about a 4.35 in the combine, but his on the field play didn't stand out enough to get him drafted.

His size also had an impact on his draftability (and yes, that is a made up word by us draftniks). 5'9, as we all know isn't exactly tall for a Cornerback, and he'll struggle in man-on-man coverage. At the end of the day, Bings' biggest bonus is his return ability, which should surely be a competitive position on the Broncos.

I look forward to seeing him in camp, but honestly, I find it unlikely that Bing makes the team unless he shows he is the best returner on this team. Which he may just be.
