Katnik a Roster Casualty

Little-known former USC center Norm Katnik was released today in a roster move intended to make room for Dwayne Robertson. Denver's history of turning undrafted lineman into superstar performers made Katnik a possible successor to Tom Nalen when he retires. While this move is hardly newsworthy, additional shrinkage of the already thin Broncos offensive line depth chart adds credence to the belief that multiple offensive line prospects will be added on Saturday.

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.
