Thread: Lancane's Mid March Mock Draft

NE's WRs are getting a bit long in the tooth, and they would be after Dez
Bryant to infuse some youth into that group.

Sayre then has the Broncos using #22 to grab Pouncey.

Now, picture this: The Broncos tell Seattle, okay, you can have Marshall for
your #14 if you throw in a 4th.

So now the Broncos nab Iupati with #14 and Pouncey with #22. Harris, Kuper,
Pouncey, Iupati, and Clady across the offensive wall.

Will not happen, or in my opinion at least...remember Top, Belichick has hardly ever drafted a wideout in the first round. Plus there are character issues regarding Bryant, and yeah I saw what he said the other day to the media that he is not like that and he hangs around good positive people. Then tell me why did he go watch Pacman Jones' workout? Not the time of person to go see if you want to portray a better image of yourself, you know?

The reason I see New England moving to get either Pierre-Paul or McClain is because if you look at their linebacker corps. it's fairly weak, they need to get more talent at that position to compete, hell that is why Bill talked Seau out of retirement last season, even beyond injuries.

Iupati will likely be gone, and I don't see Denver taking him on the mere fact that he has had trouble at times with regards to pass blocking. Added in that Denver is pretty high on Ducasse, unless they are looking at him to replace Ryan Harris...which is very feesable. I myself would like to see Denver sign Mawae and draft Cook, or take Walton over Pouncey. But I could understand people wanting to draft him.

Still lots of talent there especially on the LOS players that this team needs for the future.

Would love to have a couple more TOP 100 picks.

I doubt that. McD couldn't help himself and was like a kid in a candy store in his first draft. He moved up to select Smith and stupidly moved up to select a blocking TE in Quinn.
Unless he's matured he can't help himself. He hasn't proven himself to be a diciplined draft expert as of yet.
Granted the jury is still out on those two, but the rest of the nation and experts thought they were stupid moves. Go figure.

Good analysis Turf. I'm obviously a McD supporter, but his draft moves were questionable at best. I wasn't sold on them to begin with. Then he admitted that the Broncos weren't well prepared for the draft. That alone makes trading up a bad move. He did it over and over again. Plain stupidity. If he doesn't become more patient in the war room, he's going to buy himself a ticket out of town real soon.
