The 2010 Draft - Where We Stand in Chart Form

by Jeremy Bolander on Oct 27, 2009 4:37 PM MDT in Broncos in the News Comment 61 comments

[Editor's Note: This is a draft order chart based completely off of the current standings. Tiebreak rules were used to establish order of playoff teams, and then playoff "wins" were awarded to the team with the best record, or whomever came out ahead in tiebreaks. For those who are wondering, Denver topped Indy in the #4 tiebreak scenario, "strength of victory" (.504 to .305). Obviously, this chart will change drastically from week to week, and I will update it as time permits to keep us abreast of developments.]

33. New York Jets to Philadelphia: New York traded a 2009 fifth-round selection and a conditional 2010 selection to Philadelphia for CB Lito Sheppard. Depending on Sheppard's playing time in 2009, the selection could be in the second, third, or fourth round.

We need more draft picks

I’d like to see us stock pile some more picks this offseason. Farewell Chris Simms, we hardly knew ya. We also might be able to get some 6th or 7th round value for Jarvis Moss.

Agreed.

Would love Taylor Mays, but just don’t see it as a position of need. (Drafted just a few Safeties last year ;))

But Lets say if he’s still there, they almost have to take him. If not, We could always go with someone like Spikes, or someone a deep threat WR.

Please No.

Talk about overrating size/speed combinations (hello the defensive Darrius Hayward-Bey). Taylor Mays college production comes nowhere close to matching his prodigious dimensions. He’s not even in the same stratosphere as Eric Berry who can cover, hit, direct a defense, make Ed Reed like plays, basically do it all.

I have serious concerns about a lack of production for someone playing on a USC defense with tons of talent that creates consistent pressure, especially the last 2 years. So far into his fourth year playing he only has 5 career INTs (3 of those his freshman year), 1 forced fumble (some hard hitter) and 0 sacks. By contrast in less than three years Eric Berry has 13 INTs (about to set the NCAA record for return yard too), 2 forced fumbles and 3 sacks. But everyone sees the 6’3" 230 and 4.4 forty and thinks he’s great. But there’s just very little to back it up.

I think Mays is a stud

but comparing him to maybe the greatest statistical safety college football has seen in 25 years seems unfair.

Suh or Cody

I would like to see Chicago completely implode so we get a chance at Suh. But, most likely, they’ll finish about 8-8 and the pick in right around where it is today, in which case, Cody would be nice.

I’d like to see a G or C taken in the second round.

by BuckarooBanzai on Oct 27, 2009 11:37 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Mount Cody!!!!

I love TC. I would love to see him in the orange and blue, but I don’t know if he’s fast enough for a 3-4. He’s definitely big enough to take on a double or triple team on every play, but does anyone know about how smart he is? I know that’s probably going to have a big effect on whether they even look at him or not.

by Joe Medina on Oct 28, 2009 12:10 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Not sure about smarts

probably have to interview him for that. Two things I do know that may help you; 1) In Alabama’s spring scrimmage I watched the 365lb Cody tackle Mark Ingram (yes the Heisman candidate) near the sideline on a sweep. Did I mention he was the reason the sweep was stretched out to the sideline, staying in front of Ingram from the middle of the field? For a big, no HUGE, guy he has decent speed. 2) Nick Saban has if nothing else improved his work ethic. He arrived at Alabama at 440lbs and proceded to lose 60-70 in his first offseason with them. He’s still not light enough to play on 3rd down according to Saban, but I also think Saban’s a master motivator and keeping his big guy fresh for the SEC Championship and Bowl.

I’d still like to see his balance and use of his hands improve. He is tall enough that he needs to learn to get lower and use his strength advantage, against the Vols the Sullin twins pushed Cody back on a critical 4th and 1. In addition, too often I see him slapping at a O-linemen, often from above. I’d like to see him get low and push his man back more often or develop a swim move. But this last week against the Vols he showed great expolsivness in blocking two kicks. I’d like to also see that explosivness on a more consistent basis. However, he has the strength, size and quickness to be a top flight NT. He’s not there yet, but he’ll keep working.

Ndamukong Suh is still the most complete DT in college with Gerald McCoy a close second. If you put Suh at 3-4 DE people would suddenly be seeing Richard Seymour.

by Randall15 on Oct 28, 2009 7:40 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Suh would establish this defense as one of the all-time greats.

I’ve never seen a 300+ lbs. man do what he does on the field. He deserves to be the #1 overall in my opinion. He will completely change the course of any franchise that gets him.

by legendarywalton on Oct 28, 2009 9:06 AM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Agreed.

With Bradford hurt it should come down to Eric Berry versus Ndamukong Suh for #1 overall. That is, if teams are smart.

Will have to agree here.

Though if a team is worried about money, taking a safety first overall seems the cheapest route.

True story

I think more about the draft that anything that goes on on the field. Maybe it’s taboo, but my interest in sports has always been sparked by how successful teams are built and the management aspects of the games. The games themselves have always just been gravy for me.

I play Madden as more for franchise mode than I do for the games… its really a shame how badly they’ve messed that up the last few editions once they lost the competition with the NFL2k franchise…. besides the RB/QB/DE 1st round draft bug in NFL2k5, it blows away Madden.

No kidding

I think everyone’s eyes went to #32 and smiled. I was wondering about Chicago’s #1 draft choice and figured it might be between #12 and #16, but decided it was too insane to try to figure it out now. I’m glad there are fans more insane than me out there. Kudos on a job well done. It will be interesting to follow this as time goes by. I think Chicago’s draft choice will get better for Denver and a pox on all those people who criticized Sunny McD for trading Denver’s choice instead of Chicago’s. As a postscript, Denver may not have had a choice. Seattle may have insisted on Denver’s pick. Congratulations Seattle, nice pick.

by opinion8r on Oct 27, 2009 5:26 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

Insane you say?!?!?

But…its almost Draftivus! And I still don’t know what everyone wants in their Draftivus stocking!!

As far as lining out the chart, the top twenty or so teams are pretty easy to list out, but for this kind of exercise, all the playoff teams have to be slotted accordingly, which involves a TON of tiebreaker rules, especially this early since so many teams have identical records.

For those who don’t know, draft order has been changed for the 2010 draft, and teams are no longer seeded in the draft according to their regular season records only. If you will remember, last year San Diego picked ahead of every playoff team, including Indianpolis, whom they beat in the playoffs. This year, that can’t happen. Playoff teams are slotted according to which round they lose in, so wild card round losers are slotted 21-24, divisional round losers are slotted 25-28, and conference round losers are slotted 29-30. I think it is a long overdue and much fairer approach.

Look at NE with 3 more 2nd rounders

Really shows how you can stockpile draft picks once you have depth on board. Hopefully that will be us before long!

by Timimus on Oct 27, 2009 6:07 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

No kidding

That is really the sweet spot of drafting too, or at least it has been. Late first round to mid second round. You get the best value per dollar there, plus you can accumulate quite a few of them if you do it right. The talent is pretty good too, not all elite, but you will find some regularly, and if you go much further the pool is significantly more diluted.

It will be interesting to see how that changes with an uncapped year and if they restructure rookie salaries. Now it’s good because they’re cheap, but in an uncapped year if the player thinks they’re a first round talent they might demand that money anyway. Of course, the flip side to that is if rookie salaries are toned down, then the top of the first round will get more appealing since they won’t be costing you the same as a pro bowl player.

by BTS on Oct 27, 2009 6:21 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I suspect you're right...

ATM NE and PIT seem to be the only teams with the right idea of stockpiling picks in the low 1st-2nd round area – good talent for fraction of cost of high 1st round. But if a rookie salary cap is enforced, that will probably change and return to what the draft was intended to be.

Probably a little early, but things change as they go along. It’s interesting to visit this every few weeks to see how the standings shake out. I guess I could live with giving up the 32nd pick… :)

So are 1st rounder is from the Bears...

And we don’t have a 5th rounder. It would be nice to get a few more picks…but having that high-mid rounder looks good in round one.

Keep up the good work Chicago.

Looks like McDaniels knew what he was doing when he sent Seattle OUR pick instead of the Bears pick. I remember him taking a lot of heat for that. Looks pretty wise now.

Perhaps...

with Champ’s contract taking up so much room, maybe he gets traded for a first and a third at the end of the year. This is the New England way. If Champ has a lights out year this year (he’s doing it pretty well right now), then his stock shoots through the roof.

With the free contract space, it leaves room for redoing Marshall, Doom, and Orton’s new deals. It would still leave enough room for our new first rounder (from Chicago), and with that next first rounder, we could trade it for a 2nd and 3rd or something like that. That would then give us 7 picks, with only one in the first round. In this very deep draft, the second round through the 4th is likely going to have a lot of great players that can be had for cheap.

I'm not an authority on NEs roster makeup by any means

but it always seemed to me like they were trading guys who were overrated, due to playing on such a great team, and trying to bring in guys who were underrated, from playing on bad teams.

Which brings us to Champ, who was underrated last year because of the team he played on, but would never be considered overrated on any team. Frankly, we are lucky to still have him, and part of that is his profesionalism, which, I admit, is what makes me think he would welcome an opportunity for open bidding on the free agent market. On the other had, that same professionalism makes me think that he is about more than the money, so….

Something to consider

In addition to being a great player, Champ and B.Dawk are great teachers and motivators. We have a group of potentially tallented backups behind them – I think McD would be hard pressed to deal away on of his ‘teachers’.

I was under the impression that we traded Dallas 5th rounder to Detriot in the Brandstater trade and our own 5th rounder to New England in the Smith trade, but I guess I was wrong.

you may be right gyldenlove

if you have a link it would really help out. Besides the conditional picks, there are a number of questions I had on the chart, including which one of two possible picks several teams traded away. I figured more info would come to light with time, but if you can remember where you heard or saw something about which fifth we gave to which team, I’ll use it to update the chart…

Precision in thought, concision in style, decision in life.

plus

I have a feeling that 16 is going to be a sweet spot if we can land there. Sweet 16…

It was an awesome feeling

when I realized that you putting us in the 32 slot wasn’t just homerism.

Styg, this post really tied the 2010 draft together for me

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

So we will get Mr. Irrelevant?

Mr. Irrelevant of 09 has been pretty relevant.

He’s KC’s MVP so far this year.

Thanks for posting the chart,

But, for me it’s too early to think about the draft, but that’s just me. It’s great to see it laid out though. So basically what we have is a pick in every round except the fifth. Cool.
