09 Mock(based on current needs as I see it)

[Bowie Man]

I'm projecting we pick in the 20s.

1st rounder: Brandon Spikes, MLB, Florida Suprise, suprise, I really want Spikes because he hits hard and is pretty athletic, plus I think MLB is the best pick taking into consideration our needs, impact position, and the talent level.

Here's what I hope will happen: William Moore falls into the 2nd round and we trade our 2nd this year, and a 2nd and 3rd next year to grab him.
Here's what I think will happen: Best safety available, My knowledge of the sefeties isn't that good, but I know Patrick Chung could be a possibility and there are others.

3rd rounder: Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida He's an intense, explosive, and athletic DE that will hopefully be a good pass-rusher.

4th rounder: DT Our run-D still needs help in my opinion, even with Powell next year.

5th rounder: OLB Boss Bailey has to stay healthy for me to change my mind. He made some plays against San Diego and if he can stay healthy we can change this pick.

6th rounder: OG This is a guy to groom and to block on our woeful special teams.

7th rounder: DE If we could find a good pass-rusher that's fallen due to something like playing against lesser opponents it could be a steal.

Now don't tell me William Moore won't fall that far because every year SOMEBODY falls.:salute:

[15thebeast]

i hope he does fall but it does not look like that will happen i think Patrick Chung is a good saftey but he has nothing on Moore. So its really a coin toss between saftey and mlb and i think we will go saftey first and then snatch Holtzclaw in the 3rd or 4th round i think we sould get Vance Walker in the second to really get at the QB he is a sack machine plus he is good at run stopping

[stnzed]

One possible way for William Moore to drop to the 2nd round is if he keeps getting nicked up......

[Bowie Man]

One possible way for William Moore to drop to the 2nd round is if he keeps getting nicked up......

I hope so, if that happens I think he'll be a steal. I just hope we don't throw our draft for a guy like Laurinaitis, Maualuga, or Mays. I'm always leary of drafting players from schools like Ohio St. and USC because you never know if it's him or his teammates making him look good(ie Reggie Bush made Leinart and everyone else look good on that USC offense).:salute:

[elevation INC]

One possible way for William Moore to drop to the 2nd round is if he keeps getting nicked up......


and the fact that they took him out of his ballhawk role from last year. this year he is nicked up and playing a run support oriented role more or something..its weird i havent quite figured it out yet..... he has 16 total tackles in 2 games played. but there is a chance some teams could stray from a difference in big play production. however his combine should still keep him in the top rd simply because of his athletic ability for his size and the fact he can play both FS and SS very well.


as for the OP why would we trade 2 second rd picks and a third rd pick? we have far to many needs on the defensive side of the ball to give up alot of picks. i would say if he falls to rd 2 there is a very good chance we could get him for less than what you said. ten spots in the second rd could cost us just our 2nd rd pick and a 3rd not a 2nd and a 3rd. it all just depends on what the rush is when its near our pick. it could be everyone needs a MLB and safeties drop back like flies or it could be chung is the BPA


i will always like moore as my favorite safety in the draft.......though:salute:

I'm not sure I followed that, you're saying it could cost us a 2nd this year and a 3rd next year? Either way, I put those picks because I was figuring the 5th to 10th picks in the 2nd round, and that would be the maximum I would want to give up. I hope this draft happens though, with our offense and if those top three picks turn out, we are talking Super Bowl contenders.:salute:

[stnzed]

I hope so, if that happens I think he'll be a steal. I just hope we don't throw our draft for a guy like Laurinaitis, Maualuga, or Mays.

Unless there is a DE or DT, Maualuga is exactly what this defense needs, imo, but he won't be there when Denver is on the clock. But your point about that offense is well taken considering their defense is supposed to be as equally stacked this season. Maualuga is a bit reckless, but we're used to MLB's overrunning plays around here, I like the way he plays.

I'm with you on Lauranitis and Mays, Lauranitis is soft and Mays is a safety, and, all possibilities being equal, drafting a safety for a defense that has this many needs in the front seven doesn't make sense to me......

[toxicdonut]

William Moore will not be a good NFL player.

[BroncosTX77]

William Moore will not be a good NFL player.

care to explain?

And with Missou God awful defense he will go under the radar but still see him as a mid first rounder. If JAsper Brinkley can stay healthy the whole year I foresee him moving into the late first round. But imo LB and DB will be the main positions to concentrate on during the draft. I see 2 top notch FA DLineman in Free Agency that you know Shanny will make a run at, especially since it seems the Jarvis Moss experiment is a flop so I dont see them taking anymore in the draft.

Haynesworth? Suggs? Peppers? Probably too good to be true, isn't it?

I'd hate to see them give up trying to draft DE's because of Moss and Crowder.

Brinkley is an ILB in a 34 isn't he? Besides, doesn't Terry Peirce mean they give up trying to draft MLB's? :D

Btw, I think Olshansky can opt out in SD, I know he plays in a 34 and doesn't care for the Broncos but money talks and DE's moving to DT's is not unheard of.

Also, I think Chris Canty could be a heck of a DT too, I'm just sayin......

i think as poor as the DE class is shanny could make a run at peppers, and besides the money the chance at a ring with our Team could be very enticing.....

Brinkley is a 3-4 ILB but he can play the middle in a 4-3 and his size and atheltic ability for his size are a good fit for the 4-3 we run.

olshansky would be intersting....as would canty.....



i think we need a MLB more than anything long term, but outside of mauluagua i could see brandon spikes as the only non reach 1st rd MLB prospect. so if he is gone i think you go safety, then scoop up a very good mlb in the 2nd. DE sucks for this class so la late 3rd or 4th pick would help for depth and then a big FA aquisition makes sense.

CB, and RB are also things to keep an eye out for as would guard.


i would our top 5 rds like this
1. Safety
2. MLB
3. DE or DT
4. CB
5. DE or Guard

[TU_HurricaneDB]

The way I look at it we can get some serious players with the picks we have.


1st Rd) Brandon Spikes, MLB/Florida 6'3" 241lbs. - We need an athletic Mike backer and Spikes could be the next in a line of talented MLB's to play here.

2nd Rd) Darius Heyward-Bey, WR/Maryland 6'3" 206lbs. - Kid has wheels. I know we have Stoke, Casino Royale and Mr 140 receptions but for a little more depth and a pure deep threat he would be a valuable contributor.

3rd Rd) Michael Hamlin, S/Clemson 6'3" 207lbs. - He probably goes day one and we always have the opportunity move back into rd 2 and get him but he would be the main choice for me.

3rd Rd alt) Jairus Byrd, CB/Oregon 6'0" 208lbs. - This is a little difficult to picture Byrd fall to round three as well but I put Hamlin and Byrd here because players always fall in the draft so optimism is taking over. This CB is a player though.

4th Rd) Nick Reed, DE/Oregon 6'2" 255lbs or Larry English, DE/Nirthern Illinois 6'3" 254lbs - Either of the 'undersized' guys would do well IMO. After English was brought to light I must say I've liked his motor and Reed have that Aaron Kampman motor so either of the relentless guys would work here.

5th Rd) George Hypolite, DT/Colorado 6'1" 290lbs - Under-rated DT who plays with good pad level, pretty good player IMO and one who can thrive with PROPER coaching (hopefully he gets coached more than the bull-rush from the DEN DL coach, no-one else has).

6th Rd) Kory Sperry, TE/Colorado St 6'6" 250lbs - Cornielious Ingram would be nice but even though he tore his ACL he'll be way long gone so Sperry would do well as a late round pick, great hands and size, plus he comes from a dominant running team.

7th Rd) Dustin Doe, OLB/Florida 6'0" 228lbs - Might not expect Doe to drop but it seems to fail that we see an athletic undersized players drop (i.e. Brandon Siler, Ryan Grant, Zach Thomas) and if he did fall like Payton Hillis did we could pick up quite an athletic OLB for special teams and depth


Didn't add other picks because we dont know where they are going to be.

[Bowie Man]

2nd Rd) Darius Heyward-Bey, WR/Maryland 6'3" 206lbs. - Kid has wheels. I know we have Stoke, Casino Royale and Mr 140 receptions but for a little more depth and a pure deep threat he would be a valuable contributor.

No offense, but I HIGHLY disagree with this pick. It does not fill a need, and we essentially have a deep threat in Scheffler. He stretches defenses which is what a deep threat does. I also think that we should wait until day 2 to get one-dimensional players, which is what Heyward-Bey would be as the #4 receiver.

Understandable about the one-dimensional player comment (Troy Williamson anyone) but with a package that were to include Heyward-Bey on the outside, Casino Royale in the slot and Marshall on the outside how would you defend all different routes we could run and throw at a team.

As far as a need, I think you need to look at our WR corp. Stokley isn't getting younger and does his best in the slot. Jackson and Cliffordare they true playmakers? I think if we were to get a young speedster ready and up to speed if anything were to happen to Marshall (injury or suspension) and or Royal (injury) we would have someone to step in. You have to look at depth for the future as well as impact soon. I dont buy WR isn't a need when three short months ago 70% of the fans on this board were losing their minds saying our WR sorp was aweful and we were going to struggle in the passing game. I just dont buy the it's not a need comment.

We need some help at certain positions but if a guy this talented is here you would pass him up? That's why some of our drafts are horrible because we try to reach or overload for players when and miss out of dynamite athletes.


Me, I take him. You, not sure who your preferences are but I have thought about potential need areas and I think I covered them but thats the beauty of opinion, everyone has their own.

I don't hear 70% of the people saying it's a need now, they didn't think Royal was the answer but it seems that he's proved them wrong. Almost everyone will say that safety is a need, and William Moore is VERY talented, and the safety class as a whole is talented. Even if WR was a depth need, Safety is a starter need.:salute:

Some say that Aaron Curry is a guy to keep you eye on, that he's SLB that has the instincts, strength and speed to do well at MLB, he could be a mid/late 1st round prospect......

[Broncos724]

Love the pick of an MLB in the first round. It provides a player who can make an instant impact while also a position of need.

What we need with our high picks next year are instant contributors. Therefore I would go either LB or RB.

[Broncosinindy]

I'm projecting we pick in the 20s.

1st rounder: Brandon Spikes, MLB, Florida Suprise, suprise, I really want Spikes because he hits hard and is pretty athletic, plus I think MLB is the best pick taking into consideration our needs, impact position, and the talent level.

[Bowie Man]

And Brady Quinn was supposed to go in the top 10....either way, there are some nice safeties in the 2nd, and some think that Spikes will fall, so I think we'll come out with a nice draft.:salute:

[Warhawk]

Some say that Aaron Curry is a guy to keep you eye on, that he's SLB that has the instincts, strength and speed to do well at MLB, he could be a mid/late 1st round prospect......

I'd be all in favor of getting Aaron Curry... he's a great prospect. However, I'd put him on the strong side and let him do his thing, rather than trying to convert him into a MLB.

[elevation INC]

personally i like the guy alot, but i think he would be better suited as a SLB in the pros its not that he couldnt be a good MLB but i think he could be one of the better pro bowl caliber SLB's to come out in a very long time.



to be blunt i dont like and still dont like the boss bailey pick-up, so if we were to take a guy like that in the 1st and a guy like mckillop in the 2nd i wouldnt be upset. even with some other needs surrounding the team....:D, because i feel confident we could get a solid safety and DE in the 3rd and 4th rds.

[SmokeBassett]

I hate to say it, but I think next year Denver's needs will be the same as this year: Offensive and Defensive Line.

It is hard to tell after just two games against weakened opponents whether the Broncos are much better at running the football. I think they could use a road-grading guard like Duke Robinson out of Oklahoma. Usually guards don't go high in the draft, so Robinson would probably be available in the first round or possibly even late in the second round.

On the defensive side, it seems obvious even this early in the season that the Broncos lack a great, pass-rushing, run-stopping all-around defensive end. They might also need help at defensive tackle if Robertson's knees don't hold up. There are some very good DTs coming out next spring -- Francois from LSU, a big one on East Carolina's great defense, Raji from Boston College, plus several others. I haven't noticed any big DEs, but Selvie from South Florida is a pretty good all-around player.

I don't think the Broncos need a safety, but if I had to pick one it would be Derek Pegues out of Mississippi State. Not only is he a ball-hawking, hard-tackling safety, but he plays for a great defense, which means he's gotten great coaching and knows how to play the position. Nic Harris from Oklahoma, William Moore from Missouri, Rolle, Ellison and Mays are all pretty good. Chung is a tad overrated.

[Cutler2007]

I'd be all in favor of getting Aaron Curry... he's a great prospect. However, I'd put him on the strong side and let him do his thing, rather than trying to convert him into a MLB.


If you have a guy like Curry on the outside with DJ, we have no need for a top notch MLB. One LB is going to be pulled on nickle packages and that makes up 50% of the snaps almost. Larsen is still an unknown commodity due to his late start, but looked better than Webster or Niko IMO.

If we do go Curry and plug in Larsen as a 2-down thumper type MLB, then we can turn to other positions on defense like ballhawking CBs and Safeties.

Problem I have with Paymah is he raely makes the big plays, but gives up plenty. Williams is an answer, but we need a safety that has that ability to come up big also. We force more turnovers, I doubt anyone can match our Offense.

[elevation INC]

it just wont be moore that falls



moore is falling now for sure he missed 2 games with injury so far and could miss up to 2 more. that does not bode well for 1st rd status even with a good combine. so it could very well be moore drops to the second rd.....

A guard is a need for next year, as is DE, but MLB and safety are needs as well

[premier-ace55]

I think we need to grab the best available player on defense for the first 3rounds and then grab the best available players period 4-7. We should also if needed utilize our extra picks for trade purposes and shy away OLB and WR we are okay in those areas at least from what the beginning of the season is telling us.

[GridironChamp]

moore is falling now for sure he missed 2 games with injury so far and could miss up to 2 more. that does not bode well for 1st rd status even with a good combine. so it could very well be moore drops to the second rd.....

I dont think so.

Both games Moore missed he could have played in, just Buffalo and SE MO ST
arent needed. I doubt he misses any more games because we are starting
conference play.

8 tackles a game for a saftey is solid. Especially for a FS playing injured.


Or if he is falling, what saftey passes him? Mays? Rolle? Tell me when they
produce like Moore then, and only then, we might have a best saftey debate.

relax moore is my favorite safety and in my mind the best in the draft but that doesnt mean that missing 2 games keeps him in the limelight. i am simply saying because he missed those games some scouts are dropping him, does it stay that way probally not, but if you watch the draft enough.....which im sure you do stranger things have happened. and personally i think mays will be the number 1 safety taken but only because of being on USC and the national exposure. i think if he gets on a not so great team in the NFL he will learn really quickly what its all about not having a supportive cast. and will probally end up having a very rough first year.


in my mind i cant say that same thing for moore and missouri cause lets face it there defense just aint as dominat as USC so far.


and yes 8 tackles a game is solid( i pay attention in case you havent noticed my sig)....so dont worry he still has fans...:salute:

Im in the Mays overrated club. ;)

I guess the divisional play will tell because if Moore does what he did last year
in the Big 12 play, I think he will be a top 20 pick. If he does continue to miss
games, although I dont think he will, he might fall down... but the combine has
saved many players.

[toxicdonut]

William Moore is worse than Lowry.

[Broncosinindy]

And Brady Quinn was supposed to go in the top 10....either way, there are some nice safeties in the 2nd, and some think that Spikes will fall, so I think we'll come out with a nice draft.:salute:

If it was a season ending injury sure it might. but missing a couple games wont do it.

[elevation INC]

your right...i was off, apprently he will play next week, and it was only minor. he should be good to go, which i am glad for becaus after watching manuel and mcree try to cover i am dying for a guy like this that can tackle and cover with the best of them.

[Tonyshucraft]

don't we have more than just the seven picks due to trades?

I mean really, that is something to consider as well. Gives the team more room to make moves on things.

[Bowie Man]

William Moore is worse than Lowry.

You sound like a broken record.:rolleyes:

oh, and to the safety debate, I would not be upset at all if we got Moore in the 1st, it'd just be nice if he did fall due to injury.

[Bowie Man]

If we did go safety first I'd go Moore in the 1st, but instead of MLB in the 2nd I'd try for Maurice Evans. He'll probably fall due to his off-field issues, and if it appears he's put that behind him he might be a steal. Games are won and lost in the trenches they say, and Webster will be serviceable at least. With a good pass-rush our D will look a LOT better. Like everyone else, I want us to go after the best DE in free agency. We can keep the other picks the same except for the 3rd, which I cannot decide on what to do. We can move the other picks up, go BPA, or we can look for somebody who has fallen.:salute:

[BroncosTX77]

I just don't see Shanny drafting DL early if at all in the draft, especially if Peppers and/or Haynesworth are allowed to hit FA. Ballhawk safety, linebackers, and cornerbacks will be heavy this draft. When in draft? just depends on if anyone steps up if and when they get the chance to play ie JMFW, Larsen, and Woodyard.

Honestly as bad as the D is performing I'd let the rookies get significant play time against Missou'z JV team.....KC Chiefs :cheers:

Pffft... IF KC played MU the game would be stopped due to the spread.

[broncos SB2010]

I'm going to agree with the MLB in the first round but I think the main needs are still DE and DT. I'm going with MLB in the first because the the quality of MLB will be be better than quality of DL in the mid to low 20's pick. The stock of my selected DE and DT may rise with their play this year and if so than I would take them with the 1st and second rounders if they are still available. They are both juniors too so may not go in this draft. Middleton may be a 1st rounder already and he is my number 1 priority in this draft.

1st round: Rey Maualuga if available, if not, Brandon Spikes for reasons already posted.

2nd round: Greg Middleton a JR. DE out of Indiana. He is a little short at 6'3 but weighs 275. As a sophomore last year lead the nation with 16 sacks.

3rd round: DT Al Woods, a jr. out of LSU. 6'5, 315

4th round: Safeties Kevin Ellison or Chris Clemons both 6'1 210+ and excellent tacklers
