Put down your top 10 draft board

[Cutler2007]

This is not a mock. Simply put down the top 10 players in the draft that you would want. Where we pick does not matter, but team needs does.

Mine

1. CJ - Best Player in draft.
2. Landry - Best defensive player in draft
3. Willis - 2nd best defensive player in draft
4. Adams - Top DE in draft
5. Okoye - Top talent at DT
6. Thomas - Franchise LT
7. Staley - May be just as good as Thomas in a couple years
8. Brown - Could be a monster RT for us
9. Branch - DT is a major need
10. Carriker - Could be a solid LDE

[Atwnbroncfan]

1) CJ- enough said
2) Joe Thomas- love his skill
3) Jamarcus Russell- Crazy arm, too bad he'll be a faider
4) AP- great rb
5) Amobi Okoye- based off his brain and potential
6) Gaines Adams- not as complete as mario williams, but a good pass rusher
7) Laron Lnadry- tracking the ball in the air has been an issue
8) Adam Carriker- Complete skill
9) Patrick Willis- athletic and powerful
10) Michael Bush- someone is getting a complete stealin the 3rd/4th round

I left of the self promoter, Brady Quinn.

[Broncos724]

1. Calvin Johnson
2. Joe Thomas
3. Gaines Adams
4. Adrian Peterson
5. LaRon Landry
6. Amobi Okoye
7. Levi Brown
8. Patrick Willis
9. Brady Quinn
10. Jamarcus Russel

[Alps2315]

1. CJ - agreed best player in the draft
2. Okoye - Best DT in the draft and young
3. Adams - Best DE in the draft
4. Nelson - Best S in the draft
5. Griffin - Best S in the draft (Nelson and Griffin are 1a and 1b IMO)
6. Thomas - LT of the present and future
7. Branch - agreed that DT is a major need
8. Staley - He's a man
9. Anderson - DE is a need and he can rush the passer
10. Spencer - DE is a need and he can rush the passer

I know that I don't have Landry up there. He is too aggressive and goes for the big hit too much. Nelson and Griffin both fit into Denver's system the best and would start immediately. I believe that we will either get Anderson (if we trade up) or Spencer (if we stay at #21). I would love to have Nelson or Griffin, just don't see Shanny pulling the trigger on one of them. If we could trade up and get Okoye,

Mine

1. CJ - Best Player in draft.
2. Landry - Best defensive player in draft
3. Willis - 2nd best defensive player in draft
4. Adams - Top DE in draft
5. Okoye - Top talent at DT
6. Thomas - Franchise LT
7. Staley - May be just as good as Thomas in a couple years
8. Brown - Could be a monster RT for us
9. Branch - DT is a major need
10. Carriker - Could be a solid LDE

I would amend this a bit:

1. Landry - need and great talent
2. Adams - as above
3. Okoye - absolute freak, he'll be a superstar
4. Willis - fills major hole but injury prone
5. Thomas - Best lineman in draft, will go ahead of other players listed already, but Denver doesn't need this as much as defense
6. Carriker - Solid d-lineman that would be steady player for us for years
7. Branch - concerns about health, but fills major need
8. Anderson - huge potential, Bates could whip him into shape
9. Peterson - can never tell, if we got #10 pick and he slid, hard to pass up
10. CJ - okay, I know he's the star of the draft, but we've got more pressing needs, a solid WR core already, and he's not a priority. Even if we drafted him somehow (not gonna happen - no way can we get #2 pick) we would end up trading him.
Honorable Mention (Lynch, Hall, Brown, Staley, Nelson) all of these would be okay but I wouldn't go out of my way to get them (stay at #21)

Laron Landry
Amobi Okoye

This would be for Denver only (WR isn't as big a need imo, I'd rather have Thomas or Gaines but CJ would have to be next)

[DTownNative]

1. Calvin Johnson - no arguments here, even from NFL experts
2. Gaines Adams - Top DE in Draft, good size
3. Brady Quinn - Well-rounded, NFL capable
4. Joe Thomas - Great size/strength/athleticism
5. Jamarcus Russell - Physical, strong QB, star capability
6. Laron Landry - fast sideline to sideline coverage and strong tackling
7. Amobe Okoye - young prospect with outstanding growth potential
8. Patrick Willis - amazing speed, dedicated every-down individual
9. Jamaal Anderson - well-rounded pass-rush, run-stop capabilities
10. Adrian Peterson - established RB with great potential

what he said

[CJ_5256]

For the Broncos:
1. CJ....DIRRR
2. Joe Thomas-Just too much potential with this guy
3. Gaines Adams-Going to be a freak pass rusher
4. Laron Landry-I think he's gonna be better than Sean Taylor
5. Reggie Nelson-Next Ed Reed
6. Patrick Willis-Best "true" LB to come out since Vilma, maybe better IMO
7. Amobi Okoye-19 yr. old who is that good, strong, and smart......UNBELIEVABLE
8. Adrian Peterson-Great prospect
9. Jarvis Moss-would fit in great with our new system w/ Bates
10. Levi Brown-could end up better than Thomas but not the potential right now

1. CJ
2. Joe Thomas
3. JaMarcus Russel

[Dream]

Well, I'll just do the top ten guys I'd like to see the Broncos draft, who are all considered (mostly) to have first-round grades and would fit in at positions of need.

Dream's Broncos Top Ten Wishlist

1) Calvin Johnson - Rare prospect, with the athleticism and mindset to dominate
2) Joe Thomas - Hard to find legit LT prospects, who are good at the run and pass.
3) Amobi Okoye - Once in a decade or so prospect with tons of potential.
4) Alan Branch - Fits the Bates defensive tackle model to a T and is a rare specimen.
5) Gaines Adams - Best pure pass rusher available.
6) Jamaal Anderson - Perhaps the highest potential of all ends, a good fit.
7) Patrick Willis - A great player, and a first-class person. Potential to be a great MLB.
8) LaRon Landry - Rare specimen at safety, and I think he's comparable to Atwater.
9) Lawrence Timmons - Physical specimen who has the tools to dominate.
10) Joe Staley - Oozes LT potential and is perhaps the most athletic lineman to ever declare.

[D3N7ER 8r0I\I<05]

1. Alan Branch - Fits the prototype for a Bate's DT: large.
2. Gaines Adams - Better player than Branch but DE is not quite as big a need as DT IMO.
3. Calvin Johnson - Special talent that would solidify the receiving corps
4. Jamaal Anderson - Has the tools to be a great all-around DE with his blend of size and speed
5. Amobi Okoye - Does he fit Bate's scheme? That's my only concern. Very unique talent.
6. Reggie Nelson - Best cover safety in the draft. Bly and Bailey would surely appreciate some help in coverage.
7. Patrick Willis
8. Joe Thomas
9. LaRon Landry
10. Robert Meachem
