Thread: Assassin's Early Season 2013 Mock

I expect us to be a borderline playoff team. With our schedule, our improvements may not be evident on our record. I think we pick between 18 and 26. We NEED LBs. BAD. I know Safety is a concern, but Carter is still promising and Champ could make a move over in the secondary at some point.

ROUND 1
JOHNTHAN BANKS, CB, Mississippi State
As much as we need a MLB, the pick has to be CB here if Banks makes it to us. Although he seems like he'll last forever, Champ is elderly and may need to be moved to Safety soon much like Charles Woodson...actually not a bad problem to have in today's pass happy NFL.




ROUND 2
WILLIAM GHOLSTON, DE, Michigan State

This may be a reach for him to fall here, but this should be a very good DE class. I like Gholston's size opposite Doom. Most DEs in this draft are in the 255-265 range and I like beef opposite our lighter DE.




ROUND 3
ZAVIAR GOODEN, OLB, Missouri

Our LB corps is a mess with DJ starting to act the fool. We need his replacement. While Wes is solid help, I think we need a talent upgrade. Enter Gooden. He is lighter, but is a BLAZER and has solid cover skills for this new NFL. Even Ray Lewis thought he needed to lose 15 lbs.




ROUND 4
JON BOSTIC, MLB, Florida

Another sound, athletic LB who shouldn't be a liability in pass coverage. His heigth may make him drop here, but dude can play. He excels vs top SEC competition.



ROUND 5
MICHAEL DYER, RB, Arkansas State (via Auburn)

Ray Rice, MJD, Doug Martin clone. Dyer is short, but not necessarily small. Shown he can handle legit competition in the SEC. Has his share of issues, but would be nice for us w/ McGahee aging and Knowshon being in a contract year.




ROUND 6
Braxston Cave, C, Notre Dame

Depth for the interior Oline. Often times, Centers are undervalued and very good ones drop. Good centers can be had later in the draft and Cave is a very good one.




ROUND 7
LAMAR MADY, OG, Youngstown State

Small school PROJECT with worlds of potential. He's from my alma mater, so I have seen him. Definitely worth a look.

OK...updated for our glaring needs. DEFENSE-DEFENSE-DEFENSE. As stated, we do need Safety, but we have Carter returning, Champ eventually moving over and/or free agency. I don't love this draft class of Safeties.

I'm for BPA as long as it's not a QB or TE. I think we can add pretty much anywhere else and justify it.

If you mean borderline as in going to the Superbowl, I'm with you. Who's around at pick 32?

Is it the first week in October? I'm not ready for mocks yet. How about playoff predictions first.

Early as hell, but I would support this draft.

I would not be surprised if we see either a wide receiver or running back selected early. That isn't going to make folks happy but in offense orientated league both critical for success.

I like this mock. I also made one. It's difficult because you know many guys will move all over the board.

SA27- You didn't take into account that Denver won't have either a 5th, 6th or 7th round pick. The pick we lose is still undecided and will complete the Broderick Bunkley trade.

Or the pick we'll get out of the DJ Williams trade.

Ironically enough, I didn't wanna make a prediction as to which one we'd lose...

running back early is almost a necessity. . . and we really do need another receiver as well-- kinda hope they get a slot guy in free agency rather than spending a pick on the position, though. . .

If there is aMegatron type receiver when Denver makes it pick then otherwise I don't see happening early.

IMO, I don't see the need for a WR at all. MLB, RB, OLB (2), and OG are the most pressing needs.

I would ******* love that draft, I think the combine will push a few of those players a bit higher but it's exactly what Denver needs to go with Sammie Hill and/or Terrence Knighton in free agency.

Te'o, Fluker and Davis would be even better tho.......

players I want to keep an eye out for...CB Oregon State Poyer.....WR Oregon State Wheaton
