RiG's MocK-off v.III Mock Draft
Resign
Orton Kuper Doom Prater
Trade
Broncos send Peyton Hillis to Washington for a 5th
Broncos send Scheffler and a 6th to Bengals for a 3rd
Broncos send Marshall to Miami for a 1st and 3rd
UFA's I would think about right now (not included in mock)
**NOT ACQUISITIONS** Aubrayo Franklin ,Ryan Pickett, Chester Taylor, Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour
Draft
1) 10. Rolando Mclain 6'4'' 260 : This guy has got it all, he can play the zone and is great against the pass. He's is terrific at reading the offense and is the ideal size to play the ilb position.
1) 12. trade to Baltimore for pick 25 and 2nd and 5th
1) 25. Maurkice Pouncey 6' 5'' 320 C everyone knows him by now, will be a major help to the Offensive line
2) Terrance Cody 6'5" 360 NT The question hear is, will he be here? Nevertheless I'm taking him, he's absolutely massive and a proven run stopper, I think he has potential to be a premier NFL NT if it all goes his way.
2. Demaryius Thomas 6'3" 230 WR This guy is going to be a star receiver some day. He's raw right now, not the best route runner but he has the work ethic and passion. He's great at going up and getting it as well as blocking. One of the bright spots at Georgia.
3) Mike Johnson 6'5" 305 LG Good drive blocker, could win a starting position in Denver, he has played all across the line, he might provide some more depth if Harris is still out.
3) Mike Neal 6'4" 302 DE productive, good moves, quick, collapses pocket, leader, has stressed accountability. Quoting Coach Williams: "Dominant during spring ball and practiced every snap as if it was his last one ... the strongest player on our football team ... has taken on a leadership role with open arms."
3) Alterraun Verner 5' 10.5 " 176 CB To me this just seems like it will happen. Verner just smells of McDaniel and everything he is looking for.
4 Tyson Alualu 6'3'' 295 DE Durable, splits double teams, good motor, strong, should easily make transition to 3-4 because he plays in one at Cal. Great work ethic, good intial quickness
5) Eric Decker 6'3" 215 WR Looks like a complete NFL ready player. He has a foot injury right now so that is why he down in the fifth round. A little bit of concern he's too physical and will get hurt over the log haul. But he has great hands and will sacrifice for the catch or extra yard.
7) James Starks HB 6'1" 218 HB out in 2009 with a torn labram, but has been very productive, great vision, great reciever can hit the hole.
CFA Brandon Banks 5'7" 155 KR kick returner, fast
So in this mock I tried to address every need in the draft. Cody, Neal and Alualu beef up the Defensive line line, another 957 pounds of beef mind you. Mclain provides an instant starter to the heart of the Defense capable of playing smart and being a leader. Verner adds a much needed body at CB. On the offensive side Pouncey should start at center, 35lbs 3inches bigger than weigmann. Mike Johnson could also start if he plays well in camp at LG. Starks provides isurance at HB. Thomas(raw) and Decker (not as much) should help relieve Marshall and scheffler leaving. And Brandon Banks may be the return man we are looking for. So their 2-5 starters, Trenches fortified, loaded and ready to break out in 2010.
GO BRONCOS!!

I like this.
You and I are close to being on the same page. I’m glad you go with linemen for the first three picks. I want nothing to do with WR’s in the first round if I can help it.
NO WR!!!
Agreed we go Line for the first couple picks (other than McClain) as long as there’s a lineman that fits a BPA philosophy or at least close. I think the trades are a bit optimistic, but that’s been argued over and over so I’ll drop it. Overall I like it.
As cool as this is, I cannot get on board with adding seven defensive linemen
No offense to you personally, but it’s quite absurd. I could see adding Franklin and Pickett, but none of the others save for maybe the mid-round picks you suggested.
We kept 7 d-linemen on our active roster this season, so you are saying we need to replace every single one of them, because with this draft, none would be retained. I disagree with that completely.
I am fine adding two linemen this offseason, most likely to replace maybe Holliday and Peterson? I don’t see getting rid of Fields, Baker, Thomas, McBean. Powell could go, maybe? I’ve done so many offseason mocks I’ve almost forgotten who our defensive linemen all are lol.
All that being said, I like the picks of McClain, Pouncey, Thomas, Alualu, and Decker, though I don’t think Decker will fall to the fifth even with his recent injury.
And don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to adding Wilfork, Seymour, etc. I just think it’s too much. Why add Wilfork, Pickett, Franklin, AND Cody? We don’t even have enough roster spots for that. I say end it at Pickett and Franklin, maybe go with Alualu or one of the others in the draft, and keep it at that.
Maybe I worded it wrong
those free agents are just thoughts NOT aquisitions

i too think LB in round 1. I also believe that Cinci and Wash will make those trades – just not for the picks that you think, Peyton will be a throw in, a 6th or a 7th, or could be part of a larger trade with these two teams.
I think Tony will be a 4th rounder..maybe maybe a 3rd (that would be great)
I see the Broncos making a run for Seymour but Wilfork at 28 isn’t going anywhere.
Taylor is an underated FA and if I were the Tenn Titans I would be all over this guy as a complement to CJ. Taylor is not a featured back so needs to be paired with someone that is the opposite to his style.
Can’t see him in Den with Knowshown, Buck and a midround pick that will be added (jordan will be gone).
A+
If McDaniels and Xanders pull that draft off they’d be miracle workers. They’d have one hell of a competitive camp. What would they do with all the praise they’d receive?

Slight Tweak
I’d be thrilled with these picks but would substitute Ducassse for Mike Johnson. I’ve focused some on him with all the Bama games shown this year and I think he will be an excellent pro – in a zone blocking scheme.
who are the people who don't like this?
what would you do? just curious

Baltimore trade
I just don’t see Baltimore trading up to 12 from 25. I realize the generic draft pick values show that we are trading away 1200 points and they are trading away 1100-ish points, which says they SHOULD do it. But the reality is that Baltimore has historically pursued a BPA strategy. And having them trade up makes little sense, given their history. If you’re using them generically as an example of SOME TEAM trading up into the 12th pick, that’s different. But unless someone special falls from the top 10 into the 12th pick, I don’t see the Ravens being the team to trade that far up.
