Pre-Senior Bowl Mock Draft

PrintI've been watching senior bowl practices, reading reports on twitter all week, and my plan was to do a mock draft sunday night/monday morning after the Senior Bowl, but as you can tell, i got to antsy and decided to do one early.
This one will be a little more different then my prior ones.
1st Round: Dontari Poe DT/NT 6'5 350lbs
One of my favorite prospects in the draft. Guy is 340-350lbs and pretty athletic for a man that size. John Fox had a DT who was a rather large man play the 4-3 in Kris Jenkins, Poe could take his role. He wasnt overly productive in college, but like i said he's athletic and can eat up alot of space. It all starts up front, Poe could take on multiple blockers and let other players, like Doom, Von and Ayers get it done. Also he would be a beast in the run game. I know it's a passing league, but look at our division. McFadden, Charles(Possibly Trent Richardson too) Matthews who always has his best games against us, so stopping the run should be one of our priorities.
2nd Round: Doug Martin RB Boise St. 5'9 220lbs
I love doug martin. He resembles a Ray Rice/MJD type guy. Explosive and a bowling ball. Would be a welcome addition to our backfield. Let's all just pray he's available here. We would have McGahee and Martin carry the majority of the role, and IF and that's a big IF Knowshon stays healthy and EFX decides to keep him around could be a good 3rd down back and receiving back out of the backfield
3rd round: Kendall Reyes DT Connecticut 6'4 300lbs
If we sign Bunkley we'll still need more DT's. Poe doesnt provide much of a Pass Rush, Reyes could be that situational pass rusher at DT, also a rotational DT. Would FINALLY give us some youth a potential at DT. It all starts upfront.
4th round: Dwight Bentley CB 5'10 180lbs La Lafayette
Has been having a good senior bowl, i'm impressed with his ball skills. Covered tall wr's well and was psychical. Did very well
5th round: Chris Rainey 5'8 180lbs RB/WR Florida
this guy is FAST! Watching him at the senior bowl and wow, his wheels are impressive. Is a Dexter McCluster/Percy Harvin guy, but faster. Doesnt have the build of a Harvin, but he is a weapon. Speed kills in the NFL, maybe my inner Al Davis is kicking in.
But imagine Tebow running the option with this guy. He can contribute on ST's, in the receiving game, and just a versatile weapon if used correctly.
5th Round: Russell Wilson QB Wisconsin 5'11 203lbs
Perfect backup for Tebow. Probably will sit behind a veteran QB unless he impresses early in camp and preseason. Lots of talent, but is undersized, which will really hurt his stock.
-----------------------------
So what do you think? I did this draft with the assumption that we will add a veteran ILB(Dan Connor) a veteran and a veteran Cornerback. I also expect a safety, Defensive end or 2 and a WR added for depth.
Also we'll probably resign Woodyard, Bunkley and Prater. Marcus Thomas maybe

Can Poe get pressure up the middle
our inability to create pressure with just 4 killed us. If we can get that with just 4 and let Miller into coverage, then we would have a very good unit

That remains to be seen i think
He’s an athletic man, so he possibly could collapse the pocket some, he would be a beast against the run. Reyes is more of the collapsing pocket guy.
Fletcher Cox might be the guy we look at for pass-rushing DT, But struggles with leverage. So he might be the guy, but i havent seen much of him yet, awaiting the Combine to see him.
Jerel Worthy is another guy who could do that, but im not too high on him. If Michael Brockers falls, i’d take him over any of these guys. Devon Still will be long gone by our pick
by Scotty Payne on Jan 25, 2012 10:08 PM MST up reply actions
Well, you never know how the draft falls
Remember how far Fairley and DaQuan Bowers fell? If he’s a beast against the run, he will definitely be needed in the run heavy AFC west. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that these 2 go under the radar. (still and Brockers)

Dontari Poe at CBSsports.com
He tallied 33 tackles, including 18 solo stops, and was third on the team in TFL with eight for minus 26 yards in 2011. Poe also posted a sack, three pass breakups, five quarterback hurries and one forced fumble. He matched his career high in tackles with eight against Marshall. At the post-season banquet, he was named an MVP as well as the Defensive Player of the Year.

D-Line (Revamped)
With Ty Warren and Kevin Vickerson coming off IR our D-Line is looking good! Bunkley, Warren, D.Pope,Vickerson, M.Thomas, McBean and sign J.Jones from the Titans! Our Dline will look like the Detroit Lions!

We dont know how Warren is going to be now that he hasnt played in 2 years, and Vickerson needs to go back to being big Vick instead of little Vick

Ta'amu might be an alternative here.
Washington’s Alameda Ta’amu might work too. He’s only 15 lbs lighter than Poe, but has demonstrated surprising agility all week. During the Senior Bowl’s pass rush drills, he’s shown a variety of pass rush moves, including a spin move, which some of the talking heads commented on.
I’m all for getting a huge Jabba to clog the middle.
I think most draftniks speculate Ta’amu will be available in the second, but maybe not late in the second.

and it looks like you were right about Polk haha
by Scotty Payne on Jan 26, 2012 9:33 AM MST up reply actions
Well, I didn't want to say anything...
….but it looks like I was right about Polk.
Speaking of RBs, I think SDSU’s Ronnie Hillman could be a real steal in this draft. He reminds me a little of my current object of obsession, Lamar Miller.
Hillman’s a little undersized, but he’s got really nice burst and top-end speed – he might even have elite top-end speed. I hope he gets a Combine invite so we can see a relative 40 time on him. I think he might be able to change direction at top speed better than anyone I’ve seen in this class. He’s not going to run over anyone, but he can break through the trash. He’s got a natural lean, makes himself small well and and runs with a low pad level.
The Aztecs didn’t use him much in the passing game, so I’m not sure how well rounded he is.
His production is off the charts. I think he’s gone for 250+ a few times. Granted, it’s against some lower-tier programs.
But as a pure runner, I think he could add a lot of value to the Broncos. His decisiveness reminds me of Chris Johnson a bit. When he sees daylight, he hits it hard and fast. The dude can house it.
Have you seen much of him?
There's no way Khloe's a Kardashian. No frickin' way.
by Agent Jerry Fletcher on Jan 26, 2012 10:09 AM MST up reply actions
I have not, but i might try to find some tape on him.
Im disappointed about how Polk showed up the Senior Bowl, he put on weight, lacks elite burst and speed, and maturity issues according to a few scouts. Thought he was better. I moved on quickly, Doug Martin and Lamar Miller are my two favorites right now.
Hillman would be a nice pick-up if he has top end speed in the mid rounds. I’m really coming around on Chris Rainey though. He has elite speed, and he’s quite shifty. I’m just worried that McCoy won’t be creative enough to use him correctly in a offense

First of all Scotty I would love it if the Broncos pick Dontari Poe in the first rd...
DT Kris Jenkins (who by the way measures similar to Poe but a little lighter) was drafted at #44 of the 2nd rd in 2001, one year prior to John Fox’s arrival. Jenkins was instrumental in the Panther going to the Super Bowl in 2003 and had a good career. Here’s the kicker…The Panthers traded Jenkins in 2008 to the NY Jets for 3rd and 5th rd pick of the 2008 draft. John Fox glean all the value he could out of Jenkins and then traded him for value picks…
On February 29, 2008, the Carolina Panthers traded Jenkins to the New York Jets for third- and fifth-round draft picks in the 2008 NFL Draft.2 For much of his first season with the Jets, Jenkins was dominant and garnered heavy consideration for the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award. On Sunday October 18, 2009, Jenkins left the game against the Buffalo Bills with a left knee injury. He was officially lost for the season the next day with a torn ACL.3 On September 13, 2010 Kris Jenkins again tore his ACL in a game against the Baltimore Ravens, which ended his season for the second time in a row.
Win, lose or draw, we are the Denver Broncos! 13-3 Baby!!! Until we ain't!
Jenkins would retire in July 20th 2011...Ironic? That they traded him supposedly in his prime at age 28 and he doesn't last until the ater got hot at his new gig.
So, to say John Fox won’t trade a veteran starter is ludicrous thinking and we start see something of this magnitude happening this year.
Win, lose or draw, we are the Denver Broncos! 13-3 Baby!!! Until we ain't!

I will tell you right now...
a 350 pounder won’t do well in that mile high air, get Still, Brocker or Thompson, whichever is available instead of Poe. The rest of your draft is great IF they are all still available where you drafted them!

I read where one analyst stated that he is very light on his feet for a 350lb man...

Doug Martin is to high imo
I like the guy, he reminds me of Kendall Hunter last year. 2nd round is a little high though.
I'd disagree
Right team, wrong back. He reminds me of Frank Gore more than Hunter
by Scotty Payne on Jan 25, 2012 11:04 PM MST up reply actions
From a physical standpoint I would agree.
However Gore is a unique runner because of his patience and leg drive (second only two MJD IMO). While Martin has power, I dont believe it is at Gore’s level. I like his burst and physicality, he also looks like he has good speed, probably better than Gore. He looks like a good running back but he is in the 3rd tier of RB’s. I think he will be drafted higher because its such a weak RB class but I’d rather not be the team who does it.
I’d rather get another WAC player in the form of Robert Turbin. Similiar skill, less cost.
I disagree too.
I like Doug Martin. I think he’s going to be a nice contributor at the next level.

I agree to
D. Martin will be gone before the 3rd. He has done everything right at the Senior Bowl week so far. If he has a big game you might even see him go early 2nd round.
This kid has something special in that he is a REAL football player and will do anything and everything a team and coach asks of him.
I am already dreaming of Tebow, McGahee, and Martin in the backfield. Also, unlike some of the other backs Martin is a 3 down back, he has very nice receiving skills. Screen game here we come 2012 !!!
I like this mock
You got an additional run stuffer in Poe, then an up and coming pass rusher in Reyes. Many analysts have been raving over his explosion.
I really like this mock draft. I think Poe could be a monster in the middle. Doug Martin is right were he should be come draft time IMO. Kendall Reyes has been making O-linemen look pretty bad in the Senior Bowl Practices so far. Bently is a surprisingly quick CB. Good value with him in the 4th. Rainey is a flat out play maker and should be taken sooner, but could fall to the top of the 5th due to his size. Wilson could make a good backup. What about taking RB Lennon Creer in the 7th if available? He was impressive in the Shrine game. I would be okay with reaching for him in the 5th.

I like Poe but wouldnt draft him with 1st
I would like to get Bunkley resigned and if that happens then Poe is only a back up / rotation. The Broncos need more quality starters and they need to draft a guy with that 1st who can be an immediate starter. Reyes in the 3rd would be the type of DT that the Broncos need.
I really like Martin, I think he can be a quality starter in the league and I like what Rainey could bring to the team.

Bunkley wasn't that great at stuffing the run
I think he’d be a better fit next to a guy like Poe
TurfSharks.com
Get a solid rotation.
we didnt stop the run very well down the stretch, poe and punk in the middle would be tough to move. Reyes on passing downs. Would give us our best DT rotation since the super bowl days
by Scotty Payne on Jan 26, 2012 9:27 AM MST up reply actions
it would be great against the run but offer very little way in pass rush from your starting DTs. i would like to see a 3 tech signed who can contribute in both the run game and the passing game

Right, but if he can collapse the pocket with his strength i'd take it
Also if he could take on double teams, it would free up Doom, Ayers and Von. I’d love you to get a pass rusher at DT, Brockers has the potential, Cox could too. If both are available we could go in that direction.
Excited to check these guys out at the a Combine
by Scotty Payne on Jan 26, 2012 10:08 AM MST up reply actions
I like the look of Brockers but think he will be gone. I have always liked Thompson who gets pressure and collapses the pocket well but doesnt generate a great pass rush.
Cox intrigues me and reports from the Senior Bowl on Reyes and Martin (impressing in the 3 tech rather than the nose) makes me think the 1st round could well be a place to look at upgrading another position.

Mid round Quarterback ?
there is much speculation about this position and Tebows backup . I think Elway is not all in on the option game and wants a quarterback that can run a conventional pro style offense and is hoping that Tebow can progress in that direction . Adding a quarterback to develop with Tebow will happen in this draft I believe .Elway has said he plans on working with not only Tim but all the quarterbacks . I think he will be looking for one with good size and arm strength and that may be BJ Coleman of coastal Carolina . One of the biggest knocks on him is his footwork and play from the pocket well these are the same things that he will be working on with Timmy so he probably will have two students . I just do not see Elway drafting a quarterback that is under six foot and also do not see one drafted before the fourth round so Coleman fits perfectly in this case .
Coleman could work.
i just like everything about Wilson except his size. Wilson had good arm strength and is accurate. He played behind a Tall O-Line, no linemen was under 6’4 so he has experience throwing behind a tall o-line.
If he was 6’2-6’3 he would be a first rounder for sure.

by Scotty Payne on Jan 26, 2012 8:25 AM MST up reply actions
DT is a big need.
Especially if Warren is not ever what he was and Thomas and/or Bunkley walk. McBean actually showed enough to get some interest from other teams as well. I am in love with whoever we have at DT to be a huge mammoth of a man. However I want strength and determination to be part of that and I don’t think he has either. One sack an only 5 QB pressures? He seems weak and soft. We will see at the combine. I want someone who is in the backfield all the time, right away off the snap of the ball. Someone who HAS to be double teamed. Not someone who stands there and plugs the hole.

Home run Scotty!
Love the Dontari Poe pick! He will be better than Jerel Worthy and Brandon Thompson; mark it down.
Love the Doug Martin pick in the late 2nd round! He’s got the size to be a durable back in the NFL and he’s not a fumbler like David Wilson.
Love the Kendall Reyes pick too but he’s not going to be there in the late 3rd round. He’s been really impressive at the Senior Bowl practices to the point he’s generating late 2nd/early 3rd round buzz.
TurfSharks.com
Yeah, i figured about Reyes
Mike Martin seemed more of a realistic pick. Poe will be one of the best D players in this draft IMO. I just think a 3-4 team will snag him before we pick
by Scotty Payne on Jan 26, 2012 9:14 AM MST up reply actions
That could easily happen
Hopefully the Steelers take Dont’a Hightower and then we’d have our choice between Dontari Poe, Jerel Worthy, and Brandon Thompson. I think Devon Still, Michael Brockers, and Fletcher Cox will come off the board first (fingers crossed).
TurfSharks.com
I'd rather have Brockers over Poe
I hope his rawness scares teams, but his potential is great. I almost mocked him to us, but that would have been wishful thinking, i think
by Scotty Payne on Jan 26, 2012 9:22 AM MST up reply actions
Agreed totally on Brockers; I consider him the #2 DT behind Devon Still
He MIGHT be there at #25 but I doubt it. If he’s there we better not waste any time handing in our card with his name on it.
TurfSharks.com
Yeah im praying
it could happen, but people are saying he will be a workout warrior at the combine, which means someone will take him. He’s 4-3, 3-4 diverse which makes it even less likely he’ll be there

I like this draft a lot except for the 1st pick. Not sure about Poe if Cox, Brockers, Mercilus or Ingram are available.
I love the rest except for Russell Wilson. I know you are sold on him being a great pro but I’m not. I would much rather draft B.J. Coleman who has size and is a great prospect to develop.

I'd be okay with a guy in the 5th round or later, but i'd rather us address other area's first

It has to be someone who won't get attention on our PS

I need to see more of Cox before i get sold on him. I'd LOVE if Brockers was there, but i doubt it
Ingram will be a top 15 pick. Mercilus is an option, but i’d rather go DT over DE

Dude, this is a killer mock draft... I love it
I know it’s a passing league, but look at our division. McFadden, Charles(Possibly Trent Richardson too) Matthews who always has his best games against us, so stopping the run should be one of our priorities.
This is so true…. rec’d.
"If you went to the Fair with this guy and you played that game where you have to throw the ball through the hole..... he may never get it through the hole, but he's still gonna be walking away with all the stuffed animals!" Prime's commentary on our very own Tim Tebow!!!

"If I had to choose between an abundance of football intelligence, or football wisdom, I'd choose wisdom every single time...... John Fox has enough football wisdom to be carried in a dump truck." Me!
Thanks man!
Yeah we need to worry about winning our division before matching up against the Patriots, Saints and Packers

this is a good point.
Tim Tebow wears 3WM and drinks Tuscan whole milk.

Would be great
That would be a great draft, but you are likley a round or two late on Reyes, Bentley and Wilson (unless they are crap at the combine). From the reports I have heard, all of those guys are doing well in Mobile.
I like the notion of going after defense often, my vote is best pash rusher at 1 (unless a guy like Kirpatrick or Keachly drops), CB or LB at 2 (wouldn’t this be a nice place for Burfect to fall for us?), OL at 3 (unless we have a 2nd round rated defensive player still on the board) QB/RB at 4 and 5 and whatever at 5 and 7.
I don't think any of these guys are too early
maybe reyes. There’s still 65 underclassmen who can impress at the combine and surpass these guys.

Maybe
But they are all at premier positions. Without analysis, I expect that when you look at guys taken above their expected spot, DE/DT, CB, & QB are the top three, because they might be the most valuabel, and difficult to find positions.
My hope? We grab Reyes, or Poe, or Thompson, or whoever shows a propensity to get to the QB in round one. I’d like to see Vontaze fall to us in two (which I don’t think is out of the question – see Ray Mauluga) and find a big corner in round three.
I am really just giddy because I think we have a solid group of evaluators running this draft, and we are likely to have more hits than misses. By the way does anyone on here keep track of who came up with the most real life mock after the dust settles?
like the wilson and rainey picks,
not too fond of the rest.
