Around SBN: NFL Safety Ryan Clark's Motivational Workout

A New 3 Round Mock Draft

Image Detail


Is everyone as excited as I am for 8 PM Eastern Time to arrive? Here lately I've been breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping everything that is Mile High, and it got me thinking about who could be in next years harvest of Broncos. So, without boring you anymore.... allow me to give you my first mock of the year. For those of you who detest mocks this early.... sorry.... my kids are driving me nuts and I'm bored. All work and no play makes Jeremy a dull boy. Don't just look at the pick.... look over the alternates as well. I mainly want to see who's going to possibly be available when we're on the clock.

Let's jump into it!

Star-divide

Round 1, Pick 32:

Image Detail

Lamar Miller - RB, Miami Hurricanes (5-11 ~ 212 lbs.)

I don't think anyone can argue this won't be the pick. We all know how much John Fox loves his multi-back rotation, and in Carolina, he rolled with two feature backs. McGahee could then move to the grinder / closer role, and Miller could be our big play, homerun threat. What's not to love about Backs with decent size and speed to boot. A Mike Backer is a distinct possibility here, and I believe we have the locker room / coaching staff to get the most out of Burfict. Would it shock any of you, given Fox's past, that a RB or MLB could be the pick here?

Alternates (Mark Barron, SS, Alabama ~ Devon Still, DE/DT, Penn St. ~ Vontaze Burfict, MLB, Arizona St. ~ Alfonso Dennard, CB, Nebraska)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 2, Pick 64:

Image Detail

Jerel Worthy - DT, Michigan St. Spartans (6-3 ~ 305 lbs.)

I know a lot of you want a CB here (or earlier), but I think we can get by next year with Champ/Goodman/Harris, a healthy Syd'Quan Thompson & Cassius Vaughn, then a free agent / late rounder. Jerel Worthy is the pick here because he can play the run and pass well. This pick would complete our D-Line (assuming either Ayers, Beal, or a draft pick flashes something and offers us a 3rd pass rush option). Worthy could come at them from the gut (where Brady gets confused) - flushing them into the awaiting arms of VonDoom, or vise versa. This is a win-win. Have you guys noticed some of the runs up the middle we've been giving up? That... has to... stop!!! We can't rely on Dawk as much anymore, sadly but inevitably.

Alternates (Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina ~ Tommy Streeter, WR, Miami ~ Alameda Ta'amu, DT, Washington ~ Ryan Miller, OG, Colorado).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Round 3, Pick 96:

Image Detail

Jared Crick - DT/DE, Nebraska Cornhuskers (6-6, 285 lbs.)

I would die and go to hog heaven if we could pick Crick here. He missed the majority of this year to a torn pec, so he will fall some, and if he does, there's no way EFX could pass with their philosophy of best player available. Crick can play the run.... will gain weight in the pros.... and can relentlessy rush the passer. I'm sorry if any of you think I'm going too D-Line heavy, but that's how I've been taught a defense should be built.... from the inside out. Big men early and often. We have the edge players on D to contend with anyone, now let's solidify the interior. I think it's a must that we come away from this draft with a DT and a MLB in pocket.

Alternates (Bruce Irvin, DE/Situational Pass Rusher, West Virginia ~ Bernard Pierce, RB, Temple ~ Winston Guy, SS, Kentucky ~ Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's it.... that's all. Tell me what you think. Oh, and just one more thing.... GO BRONCOS!!!

I like the mock draft.

My only thing would be to get Gilmore in the second—if he falls that far. Also to add on your list of CBs for next year: Chris Harris. I think he’s better than Squid and Vaughn. I’m excited to see how he’ll do tomorrow.

by tiderfootball09 on Jan 13, 2012 8:25 PM MST reply actions  

And Most of the runs up the middle are because of Joe Mays not the DTs.

Bunkley and Thomas have done their job, it’s not their fault that the MLB gets pushed around as well as not being able to flow where the ball is. I would go sign Dan Connor from the Panthers in free agency.

by tiderfootball09 on Jan 13, 2012 8:29 PM MST up reply actions  

Sad to say because I love Mays' hits

but yeah, he is often out of position, takes bad angles, and misses tackles. When he has a guy dead to rights, man does he hit. But you just need more football IQ at MLB.

by Orange Rush on Jan 13, 2012 8:38 PM MST up reply actions  

I love Bunkley

Thomas is nothing more than a rotation player IMO…. same with McBean. Who knows what will become of Ty Warren, but I could not pass on the opportunity to draft two stud DT’s. I’d love for us to draft a MLB high as well, but just didn’t see anyone. Possibly Burfict, but some of the reports on him make me nervous. Te’o is another option.

Don't be sorry about a heavy D-line

I think that is how the D should be built starting at the second and third rounders on the line. Champ is exceptional but even he gets beat after four seconds on a pass. if the D-line is great the whole D looks great. The second, third and fourth rounders are the people where a franchise is won or lost. the first round is for the chance of getting a flashy player. but we need depth! I love Bunkely and Thomas but they are only two (two which we should resign, plus Vick but continue on) still the game is won or lost on the line of scrimmage, I consider Tom Brady the best QB of my viewing lifetime (I always love the broncos my favorite and I really got into football around the Elway-TD years. So not saying Brady i better) but you can’t deny Brady.

The reason the Rams lost? The front 4 could not get to Brady(when it mattered). The reason the Panthers (and John Fox) Lost they couldn’t get to Brady when it counted ( and their kicker kicked the kickoff out of bounds. Idiot!) The reason the eagles lost? (well I think that has alot to do with Donovan McNabb and him making me look atheletic which I’m not). But by that time the patriots were Brady’s team. The 18-1 season it was all Brady(proved to me he was better than Manning) But I digress. Do I think we have a chance tomorrow? yes any given Sunday.

Any person that has ever played a sport and has upset a team that was supposed to beat you… Its literally the best feeling in the world (granted I have no kids and I am not married, so I don’t know what that’s like so far…). But I remember back in highschool we played a team that had a really good QB and a good offense. You know what we did? We ran it down their throats so much that their offense coming on the field thought they could score but when they didn’t people got scared and then their D fell apart becuase they were so used to having a lead. And that team was done. And I’m not talking big time football I’m talking 4A NM football (which is nothing to brag about). We demoralized their team so much that the O didn’t have any momentum either. THATS what needs to happen tomorrow.

GO BRONCOS!!

Ryan Miller is not even close to a second round prospect, he will be lucky to get drafted, he can’t bend his knees, lacks lateral quickness, and will have a hard time making a roster

Wasn't Crick a projected top 20 pick last year (if he would have come out)?

I fail to see how a pec injury drops him to the 3rd round. I’d be stoked if it did but I’ll still be surprised if he falls out of the late first.

Yeah he doesnt shy away from contact.

He’s one of the best power backs in the draft.

by Scotty Payne on Jan 14, 2012 9:43 AM MST up reply actions  

Scouting Report on this guy.

Breaking tackles: Unquestionably his best attribute. Very physical runner who keeps his legs churning on contact. Rarely goes down with the first hit. Lowers his shoulder into defenders and shows a variety of natural running skills to break free, including a stiff-arm, spin move and pure determination. Runs low to the ground and with good forward lean to generate the tough yards. Keeps his arms wrapped securely around the ball.

hm….

by Scotty Payne on Jan 14, 2012 9:44 AM MST up reply actions  

Also he can't catch?

Receiving: Became more of a weapon out of the backfield in 2011 for the Huskies, catching passes out of the backfield on simple swing passes, as well as more complicated wheel routes and even occasionally lining up outside. Possesses the athleticism and soft hands to contribute to an NFL passing attack. Reliable hands out of the backfield, demonstrating the ability to quickly secure the pass and turn upfield. Demonstrated the ability to track the ball over his shoulder. Good flexibility, balance to adjust to the poorly thrown pass. Good vision and patience for screens.

by Scotty Payne on Jan 14, 2012 9:46 AM MST up reply actions  

Yeah, I've read those reports. I just don't AGREE with them.

I know what I’ve seen. And my eyes say the guys shies away from contact, runs scared and has subpar hands.

Scotty, here’s the thing: I could buy a domain name. Let’s pretend I called it “TheDraftExperts.com.” If I did that, and posted a report on the site that suggests Polk shies away from contact, runs scared and has below average hands for his position, then would you believe me?

I’m guessing you probably would. And that, my friend, is one difference between you and I.

i follow a few web sites that are pretty accurate on their assessments, been doing it for year, and they have been pretty good

Also i follow and talk to a few scouts who also have a pretty good track record. All of them have great scouting reports on the guy, i agree with them.

Not to sound rude, but why should i believe you over scouts?

Just asking, dont mean that rudely. The games and tape i’ve watched of Polk he did not shy away from hits, and he caught the ball well.

Wilson is a speedy back who has shown he can break some tackles, he’s a more explosive guy though.

I’d take Miller over all of them though. Then Polk, Wilson, then Doug Martin. Very deep draft class for backs though

by Scotty Payne on Jan 14, 2012 9:33 AM MST up reply actions  

You shouldn't believe me over scouts.

I’m just recommending that you be very wary of groupthink. Mock drafts and position rankings are full of it.

If we disagree on Polk, that’s fine. The great thing is: We’ll eventually know who was right and who was wrong.

Truth be told: I’m not even sold on Richardson. I’m convinced he’ll be a serviceable pro. I’m just not convinced he’ll be special. He might be. I’m just not as confident about his prospects as I am about Miller’s. I’m not sure how well his skills will translate. I realize these concerns are in the vast minority (I might be on an island here).

Great mock!

Lamar Miller would be an excellent pick; hopefully the Bengals don’t take him before we can. I’m not as big of a fan of Jerel Worthy as some of the other DT’s but if we could get him at the end of the 2nd round we should. There is no way Jared Crick falls all the way to the bottom of the 3rd round; hopefully we can get a CB like Casey Hayward or Donnie Fletcher with that pick.

Burfict

You mentioned Burfict as a possibility in round 1. I have watched him play for two years and he is an absolute cancer! Any team that drafts him is wasting a draft pick.
He never wraps up on a tackle, takes terrible pursuit angles and has negligable self control
on the playing field resulting in rediculous and stupid personal foul penalties. Vontiz is little more than a street thug and will destroy team chemistry in short order.

A nice mock Palehorse

but I think Miller will be gone before the Broncos are on the clock and worthy should go at the top of round two . I think the value for where the Broncos will be selecting in round one is the D Tackle position. Here are my thoughts for the Broncs. Round one Fletcher Cox D Tackle out of Mississippi State Sec Defensive Player of the week four times this year this junior D Tackle can play the 3 or 5 tec 6’4’’ 295 lbs 4.96 forty and has the frame to add ten to twenty pounds with no problem . Round two running back Chris Polk out of Washington 5’11’’ 222 4.48 forty played behind a bad O Line . Round three corner backTrumaine Johnson out of Montana 6’2’’ 204 lbs 4.52 forty has good size and speed to match up with the big receivers in the AFC west .Round four wide receiver Ryan Broyles 5’10’’ 188 4.52 forty out of Oklahoma would have been a late first round pick if not for his knee injury holds the big 12 record for the most catches in his career and also a good kick returner . round five Nicolas Jean Baptiste D Tackle out of Baylor 6’2’’ 338 lbs 5.06 forty a big rotational D Tackle to plug the middle and stop the run . Second round five pick James Brooks OG 6’2’’ 308 lbs 5.05 forty out of Iowa Need depth at the guard position . No sixth round pick because of the Joe Mays trade. Round seven Darrell Scott running back out of South Florida 6’1’’ 240 lbs 4.48 forty big bruising back that could also be a fullback . For a middle Linebacker I would go after Curtis Lofton from the Falcons this former Sooner would make the linebacking core in Denver one of the best in the league . Also Palehorse I want to welcome you and West Virginia to the Big Twelve I’m looking forward to more match ups with my SOONERS .

Thanks for the thanks.

But I’ve been out for years. Now I work for another three-letter agency that ferrets out “people who hate our freedom” (not the TSA or DHS).

But I still get to shoot guns!

I was actually thanking ultra

and I hadn’t even looked at your bio. I do very much appreciate all who have served and if I get your drift on what you do now, please lay some smackdown on all those who are trying to take away from me what I hold so dear.

Not too bad of a Mock. Are you going by BPA or needs? Just wondering.

Also I love to get Lofton, but the falcons will franchise tag him before anything. I think Dan Connor from the Panthers is a guy the broncos can go after. The guy was behind a very good LBing core and with the Fox connection, I wouldn’t be suprised if they brought him in.

I try to go with best player available and one that fits the needs of the team at or around the time the Broncos will be selecting . I try to use CBS Sports and Walter Football for their rankings where a player will be selected in the draft as we all know these rankings will change after the East West Shrine Gameand the Senior Bowl and the combine .

@palehorse..welcome back..cherish the kids..stop and smell the rose..

Let me be the devils advacate here;
Picking between 25-32 leaves many would-be first rounds of quality. If EFX has that one target, say THE quality DB they like, or DL that fits, but who is likely at 19, do they trade up?
Also EFX may be thinking more picks and would entertain moving down.
BUT if they stay put then Josh Chapman, Levy Adcock, Coryell Judie, Chase Minnifield
Burfict and Jenkins may be Cox type, not for me.
Fannin can not stay healthy, just like Moreno

Kreese and Lawrence will decide if Tim Tebow can develop into our future.

The Xman

will move up or down if he can to get the guy he wants. We’ve found that out for certain.

I hope we trade out of the 1st into early 2nd rd and get another pick...

There will be a team looking at a player they want around the time we pick and we should take advantage of. Now, if we do I hope we draft an heir to Bailey’s position like McD tried to do with Perrish (loves making love to dead girls) Cox…I think Minifield will be available up until #37.

Win, lose or draw, we are the Denver Broncos! 13-3 Baby!!! Until we ain't!

Unfortunately our 32nd pick dream ended last saturday

However your mock is still likely and a good one
