2012 NFL Draft Order — Broncos to Select 25th

We are hopeless

“WOW, it never ceases to amaze me how uneducated Bronco fans can be”  Then two sentences later ”
First off Tebow is not the answer. Jville wants him bad..trade him there and get Jvilles 1st and 3rd rounder ”  Tebow is not the answer but we’re gong to get the 7th overall pick and a high 3rd rounder for him? How high off of oil fumes do you think Shahid Khan is?  I know this is all in hindsight but who’s uneducated about football?  You should start your own NFL expert blog so we can learn from your mastery of player value and draft strategy.  I’ll read it.  I like to laugh.

p.s.

Osweiler at #25 might just be the steal of the draft.

Mock Draft 1.0 (new poster) – No Trade Down – Availability

#1 Cox, Brockers, Still, Dre K, Gilmore, or WR’s Wright/Hill.  No safety, TE or Qb here.  Reaching at QB.  Already have 3 young safeties and new vet.  Champ to safety in 2 years anyway.  Have 2 young TEs that need a camp and just signed two productive pass catchers for 2-3 years.   Idea:  Get starter at DT or Champ replacement/quality depth at QB.  If reaching on defense, consider adding immediate WR (Wright/Hill) starter that creates match-up issues for defenses.

#2  Assume Cox/Brockers/Still at #1, go RB, DT (again), CB, LB or QB.  RB with Martin, Wilson, Miller, L. James.  DT with Wylie, B. Thompson,  CB with Hosely, LB with Shea McClellin (DJ Williams depth or more 3rd down pass-rush), or QB with Osweiler.

#3  If DT with #1 and RB with #2.  Go DT with Wylie, Mike Martin.   LB with Sean Spence,  WR with Brandon Quick, Joe Adams. Mohammed Sanu.  Best available. 
 
If DT with #1 and CB with #2, Go DT with Wylie, Martin.  WR with Brandon Quick, Joe Adams.  LB with Sean Spence.  Best available.

#4  If DT with #1, RB with #2, and DT/WR with #3, Go MLB with Vontez with 1st #4 pick.  

2nd #4 Best available on offense.
#5 Best available on offense.
#6 Best available on offense.

CB:  Note that we picked up a starter for 1 year opposite champ. We also get back S. Thompson and Vaughn who could both play slot and possibly start.  We also found unrestricted jem, Harris last year.  Great young cover guy.

LB:  We need last year’s 3rd round MLB (South Carolina) to have a full camp.  We signed Mays for insurance, but we want the young guy to start if he’s good enough.  Wouldn’t be bad getting McClellin or Spence for Williams’ suspension, depth, and pass-rush.  Dum and Miller are good at pass-rush, but need more cover linebackers and guys that can pressure the pocket up the middle on passing downs.

QB: If Osweiler slides to our late second round, take him there instead of RB/CB.

Really?!?

Like…….. REALLY????

Ugh, F#%$ my life.

Also who’s is this DT Wylie you speak of??? Are you using prospects you created on NCAA 12?? Because, newsflash, THIS PERSON DOES NOT EXIST.

Just PLEASE do some actual research if you care about the draft and want to contribute to a productive discussion pertaining to it.

I suppose I should throw you a bone. Gilmore is a possibility at 25. Thompson is a possibility in the second and so is Spence in the third.

Burfict’s first name is Vontaze but you did spell it correctly, phoenetically speaking. That being said, I would rather flush pick #108 down the toilet than spend it on that head case. MAYBE 80 picks later with our 6th rounder but ONLY because Del Rio would be the best possible coach for him.

Hi Geoff,  

We’re all on the same team here.  I think we’re all Bronco fans.  I know that I am.  Don’t worry, I’m not a Raider, Chief, or Charger fan purposeful trying to piss Bronco fans off with ignorant or all together, crappy posts.  I wrote my first email really quickly.  I’m sorry about my horrible errors in grammar and misspelled player’s names and incorrect positions, etc.  I will likely make more errors, so I wouldn’t  lose too much sleep over it.  The sun will rise again and I’m sure the Broncos could give a rats-a$$ about what any of us think about who they should draft.   I like to prognosticate just like any other fan and will admit that I don’t buy a lot of sports magazines and study stats several hours a day.  I don’t have to prove my football knowledge or lack thereof to anyone.  We’re all allowed to comment, despite our lack of professional football knowledge. 

Regarding the 2nd DT that I hope we have the chance to draft, I meant to write, “Wolfe” and not “Wylie”.   I like his competitiveness and “motor”.  He seems like a guy would will give us all he has and get everything out of his talent.  Maybe he won’t be a dominant inside pass rusher, but he seems as though he will be pretty good in collapsing the pocket a bit and play the run pretty well too.  I’d love to see an elite DT next to him who can demand a double-team every play.  I think that kind of talent will make the front four that much more effective against the pass so that we don’t have to blitz to get to the QB.

Regarding Decker, he isn’t an outside speed guy per se. He’s pretty damn fast for being 6’3 215/220.   He was really more known for his size,  route running ability, and relative speed (for his size) when we drafter him out of Minnesota.   He will be great wherever we put him (like #2 outside with Caldwell at #3 slot), but if a top receiver falls to us really early and EFX thinks that he can play on day 1, we may see an unexpected surprise.  I think we could also see a 1st pick surprise with the selection of a top CB if we think we can pickup a quality DT in the late 2nd round.

Overall, my preference would be to see EFX fill the defensive needs first because Manning will maximize everyone’s talent on the offensive side and we have picked up decent offensive talent in free agency.  If we use #1, #2, #3 and maybe #4 on defense and RB, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take Wylie (or similar) with the late #4 or #5 pick.  He runs great routes too and has a lot of quickness for the short crossing patterns and “sit-down” zone routes or curls over the middle.   He’d provide great depth at WR/slot and would come cheap in the mid rounds.  I don’t know if he has returned punts/kicks and how good he is at it, but he may help with returns in hopes of replacing some of what we lost with Royal leaving. 

Regarding Burfict, he sure does look like a huge problem.  I can’t believe the guy isn’t smart enough to learn how to answer the questions that were asked during the combine and thereafter.  He had to know that those kinds of questions were coming.  So, we are in agreement as to the potential for a disaster with this guy.  However, if we address DT, RB, and CB in the first 3 or 4 picks, I wouldn’t mind the risk/reward with picking him up as our late 4th round pick or 5th if he slides that far.  An alternate LB choice might be to take a guy like Carder out of TCU.  I don’t know if he’ll slide to the late 4th round (high 4th?), but he should prove to be much easier player to control and/or babysit than Burfict.

For what it’s worth, I like this mick draft for us.  I’m not sure about the selection of the (or the specific) QB at #5.  I don’t know much about him though either.  OL depth at #6 makes good general sense though.

Why are you so hostile? 

You don’ think a 6’7″ QB with a strong arm deserves to go early or get some consideration?  Why not?

Because I had more football snaps under my belt by middle school than he has had in his whole life. Not like Tannehill who switched positions. I mean played a game of football. 95% of these draft eligible kids have been working up to this for a decade and longer. Could he be good? Yes. Will he be selected in the first two rounds? Yes. But at #25? Ballyhoo. And become the STEAL OF THE DRAFT? Poppycock.

Okay, I thought you might have been trying to say Billy Wynn. I like Wolfe a lot too. Methinks he’ll be there in 4th.

Thanks for making predictions and trying to guess/hope/imagine what the team might do with their choices, which is all any of us on here are doing.  We’re not paid to be right or accurate or helpful, but it’s fun to talk about what we’d like to see.  It’s too bad there’s people like you who join the conversation to tell us how stupid we are, (as if not being on the Broncos payroll wasn’t evidence enough.) 

Dear Buffalo Bills,

Yes we would like to trade up to the 10 slot if you’d like to trade down.

HELLO LUKE KUECHLY!!!
