NT post free agency mock draft

[NightTerror218]

Since most of big things have happened and settled. Majority of defense has remained intact minus a travathan and malik and a couple back ups. Offense got an overhaul.

1- Germain Ifedi OG TA&M best guard in draft a mauler, can also play OT

2- Vonn Bell FS OSU safety needs depth and this guys is one of beat safeties in draft.

3- Scooby Wright ILB ASU one of best ILB 2 yrs ago, dropped due to injuries most of this year. Average speed but amazing instincts. Coverage skills to be desired but could be future tackle leader. Marshall would be LB in coverage.

3 comp - nick vannett TE OSU. With Daniels gone need some depth even with draft pick last year.

4- Kevin hogan QB Stan

5- Alex Collins s RB arkansas

6- Max McCaffery WR Duke

7- Glen Gronkowski FB Kansas state

[Northman]

Dont know much about the first two picks but i like the rest quite easily.

[BroncoWave]

Not bad. I don't know about making a depth safety pick in round 2, though.

[Simple Jaded]

Germaine Ifedi would be a great pick, all that late round value too.

The pick at S makes sense because Stewart is going into final season of his contract, iirc.

[OrangeHoof]

I can guarantee that Collins will be drafted ahead of Wright. I also think we should be finding d-line help after losing Malik.

We lost malik and had great depth all year. We have annuike and walker still to start.

That is a guess. Scooby Wright is amazing and 2 years ago was best LB in college. Alex is a 4th round pick at best.

[NightTerror218]

Even as a backup will play a lot stewart is going into last year of contract and need his replacement. Bell will ay as much as Bruton did. Stewart was not 100% all year and we have no back up S right now.

Wright ran a 4.9 40 time at the combine. That's slow. Let's see how he does at his workout. CBS
Sports.com has him listed now as a 4th-round pick after having him ranked higher earlier in the year.

Collins ran a 4.59 40 time at the combine. He's part of a pack of runners who will probably go as a group somewhere between the 2nd and 4th rounds. He's produced three 1,000-yd seasons at Arkansas but did not get overused as some college backs do. He has strong cutback skills which fit a Kubiak system. But if you are waiting for the 5th round to take him, he'll be g-o-n-e. CBS Sports.com ranks him as a 2nd or 3rd-rounder.

If you miss him though, Paul Perkins strikes me as another Ronnie Hillman type back who might fall into the 5th round.

He's the type of player that you completely ignore all the combine BS. He was the best linebacker in the country in 2014 and came in as a three-star with one power five offer because of focusing on 40 times instead of play. He's also a hard worker.

[WJK]

I don't think Von Bell will fall that far unfortunately.

[OrangeHoof]

He ran a 4.8 at his workout.

Yay!!! Still slow.

Michael Sam was a great college player too.

[NightTerror218]

Saw him rated as mid 2nd round right now. May be more hopeful. But I see S as bigger need then DE. 2 safties on roster and 4 DE I think.

[NightTerror218]

Michael Sam was a great college player too.

I would throw his combination e out the door. He plays faster on tape. Tape trumps combine. He also had knee/leg injury this season so he missed 90% of season.

[NightTerror218]

Last player I was this high on was honey badger. Scooby Wright has insane instincts. Great at shedding blockers, always around ball, and doesn't blocks.

I think both Arkansas RB's are going 3rd to 4th round, I was hoping Williams could be a late round possibility but that's not happening.

The rhing that bothers me most about Wright is that the Broncos might actually agree that short, small, slow and utterly average doesn't mean anything.

[OrangeHoof]

Shhh. Scooby fans are like Tebois. The more you give them facts, the more irrational they get.

Yes, people are spamming the board and putting up billboards wanting him to start. Stupid comparison.

Did he piss in your wheaties? Did Arizona beat Texas?

The guy led the country in tackles and tackles for loss as a junior, taking him in the third round is not a stretch. Or anything remotely resembling Tebow fans.

[NightTerror218]

I have hogan as 4th because he is considered the most pro ready QB after Goff. And because he is a QB I bumped him up a round. He is jumping up boards after a good pro day. Some GMS stated he may be more pro ready then Goff.

[Poet]

I think Hogan will be taken in the third round. Possibly the second round, too.

I'll just wait until the draft and we'll see who's correct. Be sure to tune in on Saturday.

He's a split personality guy, taken in both rounds?

This is one of the best posts I've read in a long time. I reward you 10 Keeper points.

[dogfish]

both stewart and TJ missed time last year, and we tended to struggle a bit when they weren't in the lineup-- particularly after we lost bruton. . . he's gone now, and so is bolden-- plus stewart is on a short-term deal, and TJ's not young. . . quality depth there is a big need. . . i think bell would be a great pick if he actually lasts that long. . . can't see us taking an interior linebacker early, though. . . i know we're losing danny, but davis and nelson are capable, and zaire anderson should come up from the PS to take the fourth spot. . . not a big need. . . DL depth is much more pressing-- sly's a free agent at the end of the year, and annunike has never stayed healthy. . .

[Simple Jaded]

Can't agree on Ziare Anderson Dog, gimme Scooby any day, as long as he's not drafted too high. I can do without the hype, tho.

I do agree that DE is a huge need, and someone good is gonna be available in the 3rd, imo.

Idk, he gave a specific example, he never said anything about billboards.

3rd round is way too high for Wright, they wouldn't put them thru the combine if those things didn't factor into where he's drafted.

Btw, his "official" time was 4.90, and worse yet, he refused to do the 3-cone.

Sidenote, your sig is hilarious.

The lack of a 3-cone is disturbing. That drill is what makes Von Miller Von Miller, dammit!

3-cone renders Scooby undraftable, I'm afraid, he should probably give up football.

[OrangeHoof]

wow. I'm not being that harsh on the lad. He's recovering from a torn meniscus in his knee so I can see why he might be a) slow and b) unwilling to demonstrate sharp cuts at this point in his recovery but I just don't see how you draft a guy in third round if he's not healthy unless he was a first-rounder before the injury and the doctors tell you he'll make a full recovery (Willis McGahee, anyone?).

Oh, but there we go with facts again so the Scoobois are going to get upset.

He was a first round talent before the injury. Dude was best LB in 2014 in the country. Big reason I would like gim. Elway has drafted players who have slipped due to injury in the past.

Combine can always help stock or hurt it. But it is not the end all of the draft. How often due you hear a player evaluated as playing faster on tape then he showed at combine.

[Northman]

Yea, Kyle Boller threw a 70 yd pass at the combine too. You cant put too much stock in the combine stuff.

[OrangeHoof]

Still say Collins will be drafted first. I wouldn't consider Wright until the 5th.

[CoachChaz]

I could see Wright being drafted in the 3rd. But hopefully by a team other than us.

[Northman]

Right now he is projected as going between rounds 2-4. I took him in my mock in the 3rd so thats about right. These are currently the ILB's ranked in front of him;


15

ILB
REGGIE RAGLAND - ALABAMA


54

ILB
KENTRELL BROTHERS - MISSOURI


82

ILB
DOMINIQUE ALEXANDER - OKLAHOMA


101

ILB
TYLER MATAKEVICH - TEMPLE


115

ILB
NICK VIGIL - UTAH STATE

Scooby reminds me of Chris Borland. Not very athletic, but the dude can just ball. Just like Borland, his flaws will need to be covered up and protected so he can be successful. I would love to see him on the Broncos because I think he could get 4-5 sacks a year while playing inside because he is a great blitzer. Not to mention, he is a downhill player and our outside line backers are good enough so that he won't have to be a sideline to sideline player. It seems like a perfect fit to me. 3rd round would be a great spot to snag him.

[NightTerror218]

Collins is project 4th ish. I am seeing mocks with him going in 5th. NFLN draft has him going to us in early 5th.

[Traveler]

Elway has drafted players who have slipped due to injury in the past.

Understatement of the century! That's almost like a prerequisite now.:D

[Traveler]

Collins is project 4th ish. I am seeing mocks with him going in 5th. NFLN draft has him going to us in early 5th.

The more I see, the more I like Keith Marshall from Georgia. We need a speed back to compliment CJ. Marshall provides that in spades and is close to 220 lbs. Marshall over Collins and he could be drafted in the 4th or 5th round with one of the comp picks.

[OrangeHoof]

The Broncos taking an underrated running back from Georgia on the last day of the draft? Nah. Never happen . ;)
