Rising and Falling Draft Stock

The Sporting News just launched an update on rising and falling draft prospects. Among the risers was Michigan State WR Devin Thomas and Tennessee State CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Both players are likely available at #12 and both positions are highly coveted in this year's draft. This is probably a good situation for Denver.

Another player on the move is Arizona State Center Mike Pollack. Pollack is probably the top center available in this year's draft. The biggest knock on him is lack of elite strength; however, at 300 lbs, his 5.01 40-time is solid. Assuming he's still around in round 4, he's a strong draft candidate for Denver, who's blocking style relies more on speed, finesse, and technique than brute strength.
