PrintOk so I just watched the Senior Bowl, I've learned a few things, and I want to make a new mock today. This time, I will use Sayre's idea of Brandon Marshall to the Bucs for two 2nd round picks and a 5th round pick.
TRADE ALERT
Tampa Bay receives: Brandon Marshall, WR
Denver receives: 35th pick overall, 42nd pick overall, 5th round pick
TRADE ALERT
Washington receives: Peyton Hillis, RB
Denver receives: 5th round pick
TRADE ALERT
Cincinnati receives: Tony Scheffler, TE
Denver receives: 84th pick overall
TRADE ALERT
Green Bay receives: 10th pick overall
Denver receives: 23rd pick overall, 56th pick overall, 4th round pick
Our picks
23rd pick overall
35th pick overall
42nd pick overall
45th pick overall
56th pick overall
80th pick overall
84th pick overall
4th round pick A
4th round pick B
5th round pick A
5th round pick B
6th round pick
7th round pick
With the 23rd pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Maurkice Pouncey, C, Florida
It's really between Pouncey and Iupati. I think both guard and center are important positions to get this offseason, but this draft has more depth at guard than center. Maurkice is hands down the best center in this draft, and would be a great addition to our offensive line.
With the 35th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Perrish Cox, CB, Oklahoma State
Perrish is a very good CB, and is very good at covering the deep ball (which will definitely help against San Diego). He is a very versatile player, and can help on both defense and special teams. What really makes him even better for the Broncos is that he is one of the best returners in the country. He would automatically improve our special teams and free up Eddie Royal.
With the 42nd pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Corey Wootton, DE, Northwestern
Corey should be able to play DE in the 3-4, and do it well. We need to solidify our offensive and defensive lines, and Wootton would help there.
With the 45th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
I like Thomas a lot, especially because he's a deep threat, and can go up and get it. He's a big guy and we need to fill the hole Marshall leaves at receiver.
With the 56th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Jacoby Ford, WR, Clemson
Yup, 2 receivers in a row. I can't pass up on Ford. He is a very fast guy (ran a 4.126 40 once) and is a good receiver at the same time. Watching him at the Senior Bowl, he just looked like an NFL receiver. Jeremy (Styg) reported that the Denver Broncos have been "talking extensively" to him. The guy is small (5'9", 181 lbs) but he doesn't play like it. He still has enough strength to release from press coverage.
With the 80 pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Jon Asamoah, OG, Illinois
Alright, so I chose to get Pouncey over Iupati. We pretty much need to get a guard in the draft, and Asamoah is a good option. He's no Iupati, but he's pretty dang solid.
With the 84th pick in the 2010 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select...
Colin Peek, TE, Alabama
Peek has had my interest for a while now, and his performance in the Senior bowl brings even more attention. He is a good TE that can both block and catch. With Scheffler likely gone and Graham aging, bring on the Peek-Quinn era.
4th Round, Pick A
Micah Johnson, ILB, Kentucky
Micah is a beast ILB, and I firmly believe that if we don't get McClain, we should get this guy (or possibly Darryl Sharpton). We need to replace Andra Davis, who wore out towards the end of the year.
4th Round, Pick B
Dexter Davis, DE, Arizona State
Pure pass rusher. We should especially get someone like this if we lose Doom (please no), but it would still be a good pick if we keep him. We could put him on on certain downs if we want to rush the passer very well. Imagine Doom and him in on the same play, rushing the passer..
5th Round, Pick A
Mitch Petrus, OG, Arkansas
Brings some depth at the guard position, which is much needed. Hopefully he would become more than a backup someday.
5th Round, Pick B
Kurt Coleman, SS, Ohio State
I believe we are doing pretty well at safety right now, with Dawkins and Hill starting and Bruton, McBath, and Barrett behind them. Coleman comes in because Dawkins won't last forever and he and Bruton can be the strong safeties of the future. Kurt will go after the ball, whether it be stripping it or intercepting it.
6th Round
Tim Hiller, QB, Western Michigan
He's the prototypical QB size, at 6'5" and about 230 lbs. McDaniels gets another project, and we can get Simms the hell outta here.
7th Round
Dennis Landolt, OT, Penn State
Don't know much about Landolt, just that it would be nice to have some more depth on the O-line.

Cox
I love Cox for the return game, just not sure he will slip past very early 2nd round, and i would hate for the Broncos to jump too early and over spend on a return guy, even he is a pretty good corner. If he is sitting there at 42 though we could certainly do worse than taking him
"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that."
"We laugh to stave off madness."
Jacoby Ford
Would probably b the return guy if he’s that fast
In my opinion
He is the 3rd or 4th best corner, what’s wrong with taking him there?
Eddie Royal will have a breakout season in 2010. Count on it.
Nicely done, as always
I like the O’ Line depth you’ve built and the trades seem doable. What are we doing at NT? The only upgrade I see on the line is Wooten taking over for Peterson. I agree that we need a cb in the first few rounds, but our only immediate need there is to bring in competition for nickle. I’d probably draft Mount Cody in that spot and shift Fields over in Peterson’s spot. Then you could draft a corner instead of DE, or maybe even an ILB. JusCome to think of it, can we really be sure that a 4th round ILB will be an upgrade from what we have? In my opinion, we need to be sure we upgrade that spot through trade or get the 2nd or 3rd best available in the draft, becuase if the 4th rounder doesn’t work out, the only defensive positions you’ve upgraded is DE and maybe the nickle corner, which doesn’t do all that much in run-stopping.
Just my thoughts, as always. These just keep getting better. I can’t wait until we start moving in free agency, it should give us a much better idea of what needs remain.
Good luck with the Redskins Mr. Mike! I'll be watching and cheering for a non-Bronco team for the first time in my life. Well, except when they play the Broncos!
You want Cody?
This guy?

Very possibly
I’m not necessarily cheerleading for him, but I think with contract incentives and nfl conditioning and training, he could be pretty great. He’d have to add muscle and lose 20lbs, but I think he could groomed into being a three down NT.
Good luck with the Redskins Mr. Mike! I'll be watching and cheering for a non-Bronco team for the first time in my life. Well, except when they play the Broncos!
I'd be very leary of the guy
I see him as this year’s Andre Smith. He has a chance to show up for the Senior Bowl in shape, about 330-340 lb and to blow people away. Instead, not only is he 370, he hasn’t been working out, even with his initial career on the line. He might be able to make up for it with a great Combine, but he has to do something that he hasn’t managed yet – show maturity and self0discipline.

No argument here
If he’s not in great shape by the combine I would take it as a sign that he doesn’t want it bad enough and that he’ll never stay in shape. He’s definately one guy who’s combine I’ll be looking forward to

I like some of the players
But it is a little reciever heavy throughout and not enough defense. I do like the offensive line choices, but I think higher in the draft top pick needs to be a LB,DL.
I do like Demaryius Thomas
I have noticed with alot of mock drafts that when a team either loses a star player to FA, or trades them away (ie Marshall) the first thing the mocks do is automatically either fill the teams first round pick with a player at the same position lost, or the draft for that team becaomes heavy on the player at that position lost.
I do agree with drafting a WR or two or trading a pick for a veteran reciever in the league, however I don’t think a team needs to focus on one position and panic when one of their star players leave, that’s where I am with the McDaniels team concept and where I think denver should draft for positions of need along the entire team, and draft positions that are thin or have one or 2 outstanding players in the first round, because you only have so many picks to fill those need positions and the good players may not come back around on your next pick
I'm not panicking because Marshall is gone
I just like the receivers in this draft. Even if Marshall stays, I would like for us to draft a couple receivers. I just think Thomas and Ford are too beastly to not draft, especially when our receiving corp isn’t very strong.
Eddie Royal will have a breakout season in 2010. Count on it.
Thirteen rookies on the team?
I like the idea of trading down, but you have to ask if the Broncos have room for all these rooks. Even assuming three or so of them land on the ps.

Thanks for the point bradley
Then you have to look at the number of 2nd year players we’d have – this is a very young squad we’re looking at, especially if a single older guy or a couple go down over the course of the season. Youth tends to equal more mistakes. If you can get a tradeoff via improved overall performance (greater strength, speed, etc, but something) that’s great, but young players don’t generally get you to the SB.
Don't say rebuild - say reload...
I do like most of stedtfeld's ideas for trades, etc.
Especially Marshall, and trading down from 10/11 (unless someone we really want is still there), so maybe the answer is trading for a few picks in 2011 (but then you have the problem of a work stoppage, so what do I know?) So maybe a trade ot two for a veteran?
Anyway, the one trade I don’t like is Hillis for anything. I want him back – he’s a great talent, and I just don’t think he’s in McD’s doghouse. I think something else was going on.

I would definitely trade picks for a vet or two
It’s hard to think of trades that would make sense though. As for Hillis, unless McDaniels actually intends to start using him, we should trade him.

To be honest,
I’m just having fun with this. We don’t know enough to make very realistic mocks that would make sense. After the combine and free agency, I will start making mocks that make more sense. Too many things can change from now until then, like if the Broncos make a big pick up, then a lot of things change. Also where (if) Marshall goes in a trade, and what we really receive.

Blount?
John Clayton is the head Dean at Fail University (known as F.U. in short)
Formerly known as Calijoefornia
I like Blount,
but I’m just not sure where to put him..I have no clue where he’ll go.

Good stuff! One nitpick:
I don’t know how I feel about the Broncos taking a CB, at least that early, with so many other pressing needs that have to be addressed, and after they committed several picks to DBs last draft. Not saying they won’t take a CB, but I really want them to take advantage of the 2010 draft’s rare depth on the DL and go there early. OL and DL are by far the most pressing needs. That and if they can pick up a stud linebacker (i.e., if they kept their 10/11 pick anad actually managed to pick up McLain with it, I’d be stoked). Just throwing that out there.
Another idea: What if they did acquire another late 1st rounder with a Marshall trade, but then package that and the #10 pick for a slightly higher 1st pick so they can then get a top defensive player? Just another scenario.
Thanks as always!
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants country, and damned proud of it.
