25. Denver Broncos -- Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson
Tight ends are usually a great aid to quarterbacks who struggle with accuracy. Allen won the Mackey Award for the nation's top tight end and could quickly become Tim Tebow's best friend.

Dont get this pick at all....
Need to see development of Big Julius and Virgil Green before TE even becomes a need for us.
Foxy...you WERE on the hot seat, but you fooled me you rascally old deveil...keep building that team mate!
"Tebow is a special player. I have never seen a player quite like him in my whole career! I’m gonna play all out for the guy! I know he will be out there giving 110% every play every week, so I’m gonna give 120%!:
Champ Bailey.
No need for a TE, we need more pass rushers
Build up the defense to support our offensive philosophy of running the ball, eating the clock. Other teams are all passing the ball, strengthen the D so we can pressure rushing less than 5…..then see if we can find a steal CB later in the draft or pick up a free agent CB (like Grimes from ATL).
And like everyone said, this mock is embarrassing, its like he threw darts to make picks.

from the Dan Patrick Show, i.e., the draft expert, befuddles me sometimes, this is one of those instances.

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

The Stanford TE's were solid as well.
Anyone know if they are going pro?

Cody Fleener I believe will be eligible in the draft this year
but he’s a day 2 or early day 3 pick.
And now for something completely different

TEs are fairly easy to acquire as FAs
No need to draft a TE in the first round unless freakishly talented.
Allen is a 2nd round talent.

Can you find the 'W' in this mess? Tebow can.
this guys mock sucks
i dont see cleveland taking RGIII who is he going to throw to. cleveland need more weapons before the draft another qb…
Agree
I think they’ll stick with McCoy until build a competitive team to plug a better QB.

Yeah I thought Washington getting a corner is dumb. They already have a decent one in Deangelo Hall

Ah...NO!
We’ve got tight-ends! Tebow just doesn’t know how to use them yet. Best Player Available is the way to go, unless we’re totally stacked at that position (and I believe we are at TE: Rosario, Fells, Thomas, Green). I want some defense with a heaping side dish of defense and I wouldn’t mind an OL for desert.
maybe a side of RB
but not in the first 2 rounds. but yeah BPA all the waaay. i think we are still going to reap the rewards of that last year!
by veggiezaffer on Jan 11, 2012 9:27 AM MST up reply actions
even then we could always
trade out of the first round for more picks :)
".....Im the waiting beast....Im the twisted nerve..."
I wouldn't say Tebow doesn't know how to use them.
Most of his wins there was always clutch catches from Fells and Rosario.

1st round a TE???
After drafting 2 last year and adding other 2 free agents?
Andrew Perloff must be insane. I won’t even take a look on his order picks.

Yes but...
Remember last year? Leaps and bounds over that this season. I trust that the brain trust in Dove Valley will do a pretty decent job of this coming draft. What pick will we get again? 32?
We conquered this territory with our bodies and souls, then we watered it with our tears.
Go Denver!
TE is not what we need, we got those last year.
The next pick after ours on that mock draft is Donte Hightower. I say we’d pick him if he was still available. Stick with Defense for our first round pick: DT, MLB, or CB.
This mock sucks
First of all when does the super bowl champion pick 25?
Also why in the world would we pick a TE when we have far greater needs in almost every area.
DT CB RB WR MLB

Washington picks up a corner?
I think Shanny will try harder for RGIII, and if not, then he will trade down and take tannehill. And a TE? We have bigger needs at DT, MLB, CB, RB

how do i find out which LSU and ’Bama defenders are declaring. i know they will be going like hot cakes but i really want to get in on that action
Worst Draft since BroncofanSD did his!!
It's like the movie Angels in the Outfield.... but this time it's Broncos in the Endzone

I doubt we will pick a TE but it will be bpa and thats the way it should be.
by always broncs on Jan 11, 2012 9:46 AM MST via mobile reply actions
Hightower should go to a 3-4 team
I really like him and he’s great in run support but I question if he has the range to play in a 4-3.

If we go TE it'll be Fleener in the 4th ... if he's there.

If we take a TE in the first round he better be able to walk on water...
Win, lose or draw, we are the Denver Broncos! 13-3 Baby!!! Until we ain't!
Exactly. He better be Rob Gronk goid…
Von Miller once sacked three different quarterbacks, in three different games, in three different zip codes... in the exact same moment in time.

I get the TE sentiment, truth is we need one
Thomas and Green have barely seen the field and Rosario and Fells are hardly stars. But after watching that championship game I don’t think we’d pass on Hightower even though we picked up Irving.

Any Gator Fan can tell you that Tim Loved his TEs at UF
I agree with most of the comments that we already have some guys with potential on the roster. Besides Fell and Rossario who have had a few nice catches as well as their blocking, there is Green and Thomas that it is to early to tell about. In addition, currently sitting on the Bronso Practice squad is Cornelius Ingram who was Tim’s go to TE in the 2007 season. Ingram’s stat were 34 catches, 508 yds, 14.9 YPC, and 7 TDs. Preseason 08 Ingram went down with a knee injury and never returned. Fortunately for Tim and the Gators, Aaron Hernandez stepped up. I always liked watching Ingram play. He is another ex basketball player that could jump and block. I know he has had two surgeries and so far his pro career has gone nowhere. I am hoping that he has been able to make a good recovery and can yet make an impact in the pros. It might be nice for Tim to throw to someone who he has had considerable success with in the past.
Really?
You want to make a mock draft before the darn season is even over and then you put out this garbage? There are like 10 picks that make almost no sense whatsoever.
TE isn’t anywhere near a priority for us in the 1st round. CB, MLB, RB, SAF could all use upgrades.
"Bombs dropping down overhead. Underground. It's instilled to want to live." -EV
yep--RB.
even if you believe like a lot of people these days that RBs can wait until later in the draft, It still makes a ton more sense to grab a RB with our first pick than a TE. dude was high. i think he’s the goofy fella on the dan patrick show…
I don't know about that
Coby Fleener’s production can be directly attributed to Andrew Luck. Who was throwing passes to Dwayne Allen? Cue the crickets
That’s the main reason I would put Dwayne Allen way ahead of Coby Fleener.

Tajh Boyd will be a 1st or 2nd round pick next year

by AlbertaBronc on Jan 11, 2012 11:53 AM MST up reply actions
probably not 1st seeing as their has been a huge inflation on QB talent in next years draft
but he’ll be off the board in the 2nd or 3rd

Never heard of him
59.7% completion rate for the 2011 season
2 interceptions in a 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl
Sounds like a 3rd round developmental prospect to me.

Fleener is currently my #2
and I can definitely see that happening

He had a poor finish to the season
but he was one of the main reasons the Tigers went undefeated the first half of the season.

Unless Luke Kuechly, Devon Still or Janoris Jenkins are still on the board
We’ll be taking Lamar Miller will our first pick. Mark it down.

Love the player but not a huge fan of the pick
Dwayne Allen is awesome but like everyone above have said we drafted 2 TE’s last year and we have more pressing needs.
And now for something completely different
Tight end is just about the only position I wouldn’t want the Broncos to address in the first round (well, that and QB and FB). MLB, CB, DT, RB, OG, OT – take your pick. In fact, I think they should address all six of those positions in free agency and the draft before even considering adding another TE.

The first pick of the Broncos will probably one we don't expect.
Now there is talk of LSU DT Michael Brockers being the #1 DT in the draft if he decides to come out…A redshirt Sophomore who is a runstuffing DT…
Win, lose or draw, we are the Denver Broncos! 13-3 Baby!!! Until we ain't!
He is better than any DT in the draft this year and it's not even close
Still is the only guy I would consider to be competition but even then it’s a pretty easy decision on who is better.
Brockers is strong against the run but he’s more than a run stuffer. He can collapse the pocket well and it seems like he can get by offensive lineman with ease . He’s the best player on that LSU d-line and that line is arguably the best in all of college football. His age and experience does hurt him (think Amobi Akoye) but if Brockers declares I’d bet money that he won’t be available by the time the Broncos pick.

Gimme the best player on the board
Who happens to play anywhere on D. I will also accept WR or RB at this pick.

I agree with Elwayfan above
Lamar Miller should get a good look in the case that there are no clear impact defensive players remaining. IMO, he will be the best player available (if he is still available).
But I’d also like to somewhat defend the TE pick. No idea who Dwayne Allen is, and I don’t know how deep the TE crop will be in the upcoming draft. But if we do end up choosing a TE, it will be because we don’t have a consistent TE as a receiving threat who is also a competent blocker. We sure haven’t seen one this year, and Tebow needs one. Not saying it needs to be in the 1st round, but if it’s the best player available, then it’s worth considering if the rest of the elite defensive prospects are off the board.
IMO Dwayne Allen is a 1st round talent and will be a stud in the NFL for years to come.
I wouldn’t be angry if the Broncos drafted him. I just think they should look at different options and try and develop the talent they drafted last year.

Any pick 25 and later is definitely BPA...
Dwayne Allen is definitely elite and could start week one. I would not hate this pick at all. Allen has WR speed in a TE’s body. And he can block, too. As cyngata pointed out, Timmy loves TEs and Allen could really aid in his development. Again, think BPA. Because we picked up a few projects and fill-ins last year is no reason not to go for the no. 1 TE in this draft in favour of the 4th or 5th best DT (just guessing who might be left.) I agree with the field that DT and CB are our top needs and we will certainly need a new RB and some O-line help but once more, BPA.
P.S., SB Nation has a great blog called Mocking The Draft. Y’all ought to join.
There are no apostrophes in plurals.
A lot is two words. Allot can be one word but it has another meaning.
The only time you really want to use "myself" is when you are the recipient of your own action. Usually you're better off using "me."
Your is not the correct contraction of you are. The word you're looking for is you're.
It's anyway, not anyways.
But if you only remember one thing...
