  • If We Had To Draft Today.........

    through 4 games of the season, if we had to draft today i would follow with the below process.

    i would trade our second rd pick and a 4th rd pick from 2010 to move up as far as possible in the 2nd rd of this draft. so essentially around 8 spots. we lose a 5th rd pick this year to the jets for robertson, and colbert will net us a 4th rd pick because he has to continue playing in seattle..they have hardly anyone right now...lol. we get a sixth rd pick from the meyers deal, and a seventh from the foxy deal, so here goes



    1. DT Senderick Marks (Auburn) 6-1, 294 lbs
    very easily going to be a 1st rd pick, if he keeps up his current production, hopefully this guy declares, because if he does we need to grab him. its clear what happens when robertson goes down...we struggle. I really like kenny peterson and he is doing some good things for us but rotation would suit him best, we need some seriously talented youth to bring this line up to speed. with powell waiting in the wings. it would behoove us to have a penetrating DT that can play opposite thomas or robertson.

    Stat line- 6 games plyd, 21 tackles, 8.0 for loss, 2 sacks, 2 PD

    2. SLB Aaron Curry (WakeForest) 6-3, 241 lbs
    can play outside and inside, very dominating and smashmouth LB, the difference is he has the smarts and football instincts to back up his play. he takes good angles, makes great tackles, is good in coverage, and can blitz, he also flys to the ball and makes plays. Having him would give us a upgrade at MLB over anyone currently on our roster, or it would give us an instant impact player at SLB(SOMETHING BOSS BAILEY IS NOT) eitehr way it addresses the LB needs we have, as larsen and woodyard will improve more each game as well

    Stat Line- 4 games plyd, 30 tackles, 4.5 for loss, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FR

    3. S Chris Clemons (Clemson) 6-1, 210 lbs
    very good safety, his combine speed will drop him here a little but, i think he has good game speed, he hits hard, flys to the ball, and can make plays in coverage. in any case he would be a good guy to bring up with barrett, as manuel and mcree are surely not the answers.

    Stat line- 5 games plyd, 31 tackles, 1 for loss, 1 INT, 2 PD

    4a. DE Larry English (Northern Illinois) 6-3, 255 lbs
    very strong DE, very adept against the run, has a knack for getting in the backfield, and getting penetration. 22.5 sacks over the last 2 years, the guy knows how to put a QB on his but

    Stat line- 5 games plyd, 15 tackles, 6.0 for loss, 3.5 sacks, 1 FR, 1 PD

    4b. CB Mark Parson (OHIO) 5-10, 195 lbs
    probally the best, bump and run/man on man corner in the draft, good size, he projects as very solid number 2 corner at the next level, he is physical, and aggressive, and likes to get recivers off there routes at the line.

    Stat line- 5 games plyd, 24 tackles, 1 for loss, 2 PD

    6a. OG Tyrone Greene (Auburn) 6-2, 312 lbs
    good guard for the schem we run, we could use anotehr depth player to groom with the great o-line we have now.

    Stat Line- N/A

    6b. DE Nick Reed (Oregon) 6-2, 260 lbs
    the guy is a player, he is good against the run and pass, overall a complete DE and not just a pass rush specialist. his production this year could have him flying up the charts.

    Stat line- 5 games plyd, 19 tackles, 9.5 for loss, 6 sacks, 1 FR

    7a. FS Sherrod martin (Troy) 6-1, 192 lbs
    small school, good production, purely a project player, but i love his coverage ability and i think he will be one of those late safeties to suprise man many people. he is physical and great in coverage, 2 things we really lack...lol

    Stat line- 4 games playd, 30 tackles, 3 iNT, 4 PD

    7b. CB Dwain Crawford (Baylor) 6-0, 196 lbs

    can play Cb or FS, gives us a depth guy, something we are kind of hurting for, and will be again since paymah will most likely walk at the end of this year.

    Stat line- 5 games plyd, 24 tackles, 1for loss, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR, 2 PD




    hope ya all enjoy and keep an eye out on these players

      Not bad...but too many what if players and really the sad thing is that come the end of the year we know the rankings are going to be turned upside down. Other then that not too bad, though I disagree with taking a first round defensive tackle, Robertson and Thomas will be a good duo...we need end help, very badly.

        I really like the Adam Curry 2nd round pick...Get an OLB that can blitz how long has it been since the Broncos had a LB with a 10+ sack season If not that get a a player if available that has the size and speed that can play both MLB/OLB....I'm thinking S,LB,DE with the first pick and second pick...DT I think the Broncos can do about the same as they did the last two years drafting 1 or 2 on day 2...I'm not seeing any players this year that has overwhelming value to me to justify a DT in the later part of the 1st round...

        Good chance at least one of these 3 will still be around in the first Mays,Rolle,Moore

          If the draft was this weekend...

          Round 1. Greg Middleton - DE - Indiana
          - A 4-3 type defensive end with good overall size at 6-3, 275lbs. Middleton is a monster for his size and if the end class wasn't so deep he would likely be a top 15 pick. Middleton had the most sacks in the nation in 2007, he has good range, is hard to block and is effective during all downs.

          Round 2. Marcus Freeman - LB - Ohio State
          - Freeman has done exceptionally well on the outside, he registered over 95 tackles and near ten of those for losses in 2007. He is very flexible giving him the ability to move inside where his size along with his good speed could play a factor, he's 242lbs. but only 6-2. Freeman though has tremendous upside and his coaches praise him as an intelligent leader who works his tail off.

          Round 3. Emmanuel Cook - SS - South Carolina
          - Cook is a tad undersized at only 5-10, but he is a whopping 214lbs. expect Emmanuel Cook to clock about a 4.45 at the combine pulling him up a little in stock. He is not a ball-hawk, he is a pure headhunter...in 2007 he had 92 tackles, eight of which were for losses and registered four sacks; his ability to come up and help the line should interest Denver from the start.

          Round 4. Mitch Petrus - OG - Arkansas
          - He is a typical Denver lineman at 6'4 and 305lbs. Blocked for McFadden and Jones, earning 2nd Team All-SEC honors. Will not blow away many at the combine, he has good range but is not overly powerful, his quick feet and blocking style should pull the Broncos interest, especially since in 2010 Hamilton and Kuper are free agents and they will likely be able to sign only one of them with the other major players up for contracts that year.

          Round 5. Marlon Lucky - HB - Nebraska
          - Typical north/south runner with good power and okay speed. At 6-0 and 215lbs. he has the size, but he will likely have value at this spot. Lucky is not a gamebreaker which Denver fans would hope for, he is a tough yard gainer who will traditionaly get the four to five yards needed. What Lucky does have that should interest both scouts for Denver and the fans is that he is one of the best receiving backs in all of football, in 2007 he nearly rushed for 1,000 yards, but he had 705 receiving yards and with Denver opening up the passing attack this would be a wise pick to aid Cutler.

          Round 6. Quan Cosby - WR - Texas
          - If there was a Mike Anderson award, this kid would win it. He is all heart and gives his all, he has lightning speed and should clock in a 4.4 at the combine, he also has decent size at 5-11, 205lbs. And effecting backup receiver and above average kick returner...the problem is that he will be 27 years old as a rookie. Denver who usually likes the oddities when it comes to the draft and Cosby is right up their alley.

          Round 7. Jeremy Navarre - DE - Maryland
          - Some question his lack of commitement, but Navarre has tremendous upside if he can focus. Typical 4-3 defensive end at 6-3, 272lbs. What kills his stock is lack of speed, some questions about his attitude and again his lack to give his all. Denver likes to risk picks and this would not hurt them, especially in need of talent which Navarre has tons of. In 2007 and in 13 games he registered 4.5 sacks.

          That is more or less what I think it would look like if it was held today...given the picks we are giving away and so on...

            I'm also hoping for Middleton but would try for Alex mack, Center or DT, Terrance Taylor as well

              not bad, i really dont think this DE class is a sdeep as you belive...but who knows its early and i am just having fun....lol


              i like the petrus and cook picks, and i really like emanuel cook in the 3rd rd but he is pulling a dissapearing act this year so far, he will need a good combine, if that happens i would be highly interested.


              also thomas and robertson are essentially the same kind of DT. we will start to see robertson on the field less and less, and thomas will probally move to that spot. with powell and peterson as the only depth we have, we need some talent influx here period. peterson has passion, but he is a rotation guy. and powell is unproven. clemons is roster space as well as shaw. a 1st rd DT could do wonders for the future of our o-line especially since it takes a year or 2 to get really going that means we would be prepared ahead of time instead of drafting a DT, because we have no choice.

              Also i think we should stay away from a High DE as they dont make much impact right away. we could fix our issue with the best FA we can get, the draft some DE's later for depth.

              i personally do not want a DE before rd 3. i would like to focus on DE in FA

                i hate our safties but right now i think DT is the biggest 1st rd need. the safety class is very very deep, so i think i would use the 1st pick on a position like DT, where the draft is thin


                and i think curry would be the best completion to our LB core.

                i would like to see Dj move to middle next year, and be backed by webster
                i would like to see woodyard move to WLB, and backed by winborn
                Boss would be the SLB, backed by Curry. this would make us even better in my opinion, At LB

                  The 4-3 DE class is definitely weak at the top end. I can see easily see a situation where no 4-3 ends go in the 1st round. Okay, maybe someone will gamble on Michael Johnson's physical tools... but his production is pathetic for a such a hyped prospect.

                  On the other hand, it's going to be a great draft for 3-4 teams, as many of the top college DE's are much betters fits as pass rushing OLB's in the pros. Tyson Jackson is a very solid pick as a 3-4 end as well.

                    this is a great point, i should have specified what i meant. for us the DE class is weak, there are some good developing guys and projects after rd 3, but overall. if i need help at DE and i run a 4-3, i would use FA this year, because the draft doesnt have alot of great 4-3 ends.



                    i do like nick reed, and larry english, because they both show a nasty streak against the run and are excelent at getting to the qb, and they have the frame to add 10-15 lbs in muscle which would put both up around 275, and unlike Jarvis moss. they have great power and strength. i hope we draft 1 of them for depth becasue they should develop nicely for us.

I really like kenny peterson and he is doing some good things for us but rotation would suit him best, we need some seriously talented youth to bring this line up to speed. with powell waiting in the wings. it would behoove us to have a penetrating DT that can play opposite thomas or robertson.

                      Stat line- 4 games plyd, 19 tackles, 8.5 for loss, 2 sacks, 1 PD

                      2. SLB Aaron Curry (WakeForest) 6-3, 241 lbs
                      can play outside and inside, very dominating and smashmouth LB, the difference is he has the smarts and football instincts to back up his play. he takes good angles, makes great tackles, is good in coverage, and can blitz, he also flys to the ball and makes plays. Having him would give us a upgrade at MLB over anyone currently on our roster, or it would give us an instant impact player at SLB(SOMETHING BOSS BAILEY IS NOT) eitehr way it addresses the LB needs we have, as larsen and woodyard will improve more each game as well

                      Stat Line- 4 games plyd, 30 tackles, 4.5 for loss, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FR

                      3. S Chris Clemons (Clemson) 6-1, 210 lbs
                      very good safety, his combine speed will drop him here a little but, i think he has good game speed, he hits hard, flys to the ball, and can make plays in coverage. in any case he would be a good guy to bring up with barrett, as manuel and mcree are surely not the answers.

                      Stat line- 4 games plyd, 26 tackles, 1 for loss, 1 INT, 2 PD

                      4a. DE Larry English (Northern Illinois) 6-3, 255 lbs
                      very strong DE, very adept against the run, has a knack for getting in the backfield, and getting penetration. 22.5 sacks over the last 2 years, the guy knows how to put a QB on his but

                      Stat line- 3 game plyd, 12 tackles, 3.5 for loss, 1 sack, 1 FR, 1 PD

                      4b. CB Mark Parson (OHIO) 5-10, 195 lbs
                      probally the best, bump and run/man on man corner in the draft, good size, he projects as very solid number 2 corner at the next level, he is physical, and aggressive, and likes to get recivers off there routes at the line.

                      Stat line- 4 games plyd, 19 tackles, 1 for loss, 2 PD

                      6a. OG Tyrone Greene (Auburn) 6-2, 312 lbs
                      good guard for the schem we run, we could use anotehr depth player to groom with the great o-line we have now.

                      Stat Line- N/A

                      6b. DE Nick Reed (Oregon) 6-2, 260 lbs
                      the guy is a player, he is good against the run and pass, overall a complete DE and not just a pass rush specialist. his production this year could have him flying up the charts.

                      Stat line- 4 games plyd, 17 tackles, 8.5 for loss, 5 sacks, 1 FR

                      7a. FS Sherrod martin (Troy) 6-1, 192 lbs
                      small school, good production, purely a project player, but i love his coverage ability and i think he will be one of those late safeties to suprise man many people. he is physical and great in coverage, 2 things we really lack...lol

                      Stat line- 4 games playd, 30 tackles, 3 iNT, 4 PD

                      7b. CB Dwain Crawford (Baylor) 6-0, 196 lbs

                      can play Cb or FS, gives us a depth guy, something we are kind of hurting for, and will be again since paymah will most likely walk at the end of this year.

                      Stat line- 4 games plyd, 22 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 FR




                      hope ya all enjoy and keep an eye out on these players
                      I like it, but if the draft were right now, I'd grab every DE and DT I could. LOL One thing I'd like us to do is grab a NT to use in 3-4 looks. Bailey would be a good blitzing LB in my opinion, and put Woodyard, Williams, Curry, Webster, or Larsen(the best three) and Crowder and Ekuban(or Engleberger) on the ends, I think we might do well. Plus with our 4-3 personnel, we would be very versatile. Back on topic, I would not take 4 DBs. Replace one with another DT(perhaps that 3-4 DT?), and that I think would be about perfect. The only thing wrong with it: no William Moore or Brandon Spikes. Oh well, I've pretty much given up on Spikes because I think we have a ton of problems elsewhere. I'd be very happy with this draft though.

                        If Rey Maulauga is there in the 1st (very unlikely), he's the pick!

                        Otherwise I say we go for one of the Safeties, Moore, Mays, Rolle, or Chancellor would be a great enforcer for us we have been missing since Atwater!

                        Then with the rest of our draft we need to adress the D-Line and Mike backer!

                        Either way I think our 1st 2 picks have got to be Safety and MLBer, in no particular order!

                          INc... the one thing I noticed about your choices is that the DE's weigh around 255lbs.

                            - Freeman has done exceptionally well on the outside, he registered over 95 tackles and near ten of those for losses in 2007. He is very flexible giving him the ability to move inside where his size along with his good speed could play a factor, he's 242lbs. but only 6-2. Freeman though has tremendous upside and his coaches praise him as an intelligent leader who works his tail off.

                            That is more or less what I think it would look like if it was held today...given the picks we are giving away and so on...
                            I just absolutely love the idea of drafting Marcus Freeman ...

                            I think what you wrote about him is right on....He is my second favorite Buckeye...Behind Malcolm Jenkins...

                              I wanted to add my opinions on both Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis...

                              The Buckeyes .... The style of defense they play reminds me alot of the Broncos ...Drop the LB's back in pass coverage and nothing up front....Sure the Buckeyes had Vernon Gholston but losing both Jay Richardson and Quinn Pitcock to the draft severely hurt the Buckeyes in the middle right up the gut...The last two years it has showed when it matters the most ...

                              Marcus Freeman ...His reaction to plays is outstanding ....He reads and reacts....Great tackler,Does everything you could ask a LB to do in pass coverage...Teams have been able to exploit the Buckeyes knowing this is exactly where Freeman,Jenkins will be in zone coverage...He reminds me of a DJ Williams mold....With less bulk....Freeman's key weakness is shedding blocks...and lack of being Nasty..Bulk

                              James Laurinaitis....Laurinaitis can take on blocks/shed and still make the tackle (assist) better then any LB in seen in years.....However with that I have noticed what I think is a flaw in his game ....He has a tendency to move side to side during running plays reading to much and not a quick enough attack type reaction...I think he got this way knowing that on all plays a OL/TE/FB will be coming to block him...Oblivislouly I'm very much a fan of both of these players no matter where you stand with them it is near impossible to question their work ethic ...I have always favored Freeman more ...I think his draft value is great at the 2nd round and think he could slip further down....With Laurinaitis guaranteed to be a first round draft pick...

                              Right now I'm really interested in seeing their true combine height...I think Both of these players can play MLB/OLB at the pro level and would have a game very very similar to DJ Williams..It will be interesting to scout these guys vs Wisconsin this week.... When both was took to the Shed against USC...Wisconisn has a great OLine,RB,TE and must run the ball to win...

                              Marcus Freeman


                              James Laurinaitis Vs USC

                              In this video you will see both of the descriptions I used when explaining my thoughts on him...I added this after I wrote the post ...
