Mock Draft Database Info and Comments - UPDATE
UPDATE -- 2ND PAGE FOR FIRST ROUND ADDED!!! -- I am going to use this Diary to keep a running tab on the status of the Mock Draft Database, as well as give you a place to comment on the Mock Drafts. Feel free to give you thoughts on a particular draft, or player we are drafting, and I'll use some of them in the database.
Due to limitations with the coding of the site, I have split the 1st Round into 2 pages --
Round 1, Page 1
Round 1, Page 2
I have cleaned up the Db, moving the most respected mock draft sites to the top of Page 1. These Mocks also seem to update more frequently. That said, here is where we stand after posting 49 Mock Drafts --
| By Position | |
| Position | # |
| Offensive Tackle | 16 |
| Linebacker | 16 |
| Safety | 8 |
| Defensive Tackle | 2 |
| Wide Receiver | 2 |
| Defensive End | 2 |
| By Player | |
| Position | # |
| Kenny Phillips(FS) | 8 |
| Ryan Clady(OT) | 8 |
| Keith Rivers(OLB) | 8 |
| Dan Connor(OLB) | 7 |
| Chris Williams(OT) | 6 |
| DeSean Jackson(WR) | 1 |
| Sam Baker(OT) | 1 |
| Frank Okam(DT) | 1 |
| Early Doucet(WR) | 1 |
| Limas Sweed(WR) | 1 |
| Calais Campbell(DE) | 1 | <!-- Row 14 -->

I am gradually moving this way
I have to be honest that part of my problem with Phillips is that he went to Miami. I just kinda assume that anyone coming out of "The U" will have character/attitude issues. But as I have been reading about Phillips, he does not seem to have any of those problems.

Michael Oher is returning to school
He is also the kid profiled in Michael Lewis's book "Blind Side", which got mentioned in a diary a last week.

Trade Down?

He is my choice too.
A nice trade would be to give Dallas our #12 and a 1st round next year for their #22 and #28. Between Rivers, Conner, Phillips, Mendenhall, Clady, and Baker, some one will slip to #22. Take him there. Then get Sims at #28. That would make my day.

Mel Kiper, ESPN
Clady to Broncos.
Big surprise: no Phillips in the first round--at all. The 'Phil's in there are Philip Merling (9) and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Don Banks' Draft forecast...
With the retirement of Matt Lepsis, finding a replacement at offensive tackle rises to the top of the Broncos' need list. Clady has tremendous size, but is still nimble enough in pass coverage thanks to his quick feet.
They have Kenny Phillips at #16!

I think we are in great shape
In fact, I think the draft is deep enough in the positions we have a need for that we are bound to get several picks that should work out well.
I'm not putting too much stock in rising and falling names. Often times the "experts" aren't familiar with the specific needs of a team (like player type). In fact, click Guru's link for second round drafts. Most of the expert sites don't even understand the rotational draft rule for tied teams, and don't understand that we have the 42nd pick. That why I'm sticking with MHR for most of my draft news.
Another thing to take into account is that rising and falling stock based on intangibles often have little to do with our interests in certain players. For example, Clady may not look so hot to some teams because they don't need an OT or they are looking at someone else. But since he has fast feet the zone blocks teams would salivate for him.
Let's say Phillips stock is falling. It could be because teams want something else. BUT, the few teams that want him may want him badly. I only care about how the Broncos rate a player, not the sports media in general. Following the draft discussion on a team specific site (like MHR) is the best way to determine a player's stock for your own team in my opinion.
