Thread: Broncos with the 20th pick take . . . (a daily sim)

Don't overthink this. Biggest need -> left tackle.

Best options on board:
Ramczyk
Robinson
Bolles

Personally, I'd take Ramczyk but if the Broncos believed another LT were better, I'd support their decision.

The real temptation will be if McCaffrey is on the board.

Ok, on to sim #2.

1. Cleveland - Myles Garrett, DE / 3-4 OLB
2. San Francisco - DeShone Kizer, QB
3. Chicago - Jonathan Allen, DE
4. Jacksonville - Jamal Adams, S
5. Tennessee - Jabrill Peppers, S
6. NY Jets - Leonard Fournette, RB
7. Los Angeles Chargers - Solomon Thomas, DE /3-4 OLB / OLB
8. Carolina - Cam Robinson, OT
9. Bengals - Mike Williams, WR
10. Buffalo - Marshon Lattimore, CB
11. Saints - Malik Hooker, S
12. Cleveland - Deshaun Watson, QB
13. Arizona - Mitch Trubisky, QB
14. Philly - Corey Davis, WR
15. Indy - Christian McCaffrey, RB
16. Baltimore - Marlon Humphrey, CB
17. Redskins - Derek Barnett, DE / 3-4 OLB
18. Tennessee - John Ross, WR
19. Tampa Bay - O.J. Howard, TE
20. Denver - ????

Players available with ~1-2 round grades still available:

Reuben Foster, ILB
Ryan Ramcyzk, OT
Dalvin Cook, RB
Garett Bolles, OT
Taco Charlton, DE
Haason Reddick, OLB
David Njoku, TE
Takkarist McKinley, OLB
Zach Cunningham, OLB
Forrest Lamp, OT/G
Malik McDowell, DT
Pat Mahomes, QB
Obi Melifonwu, SS
Tim Williams, OLB
Charles Harris, DE
Teez Tabor, CB
Dion Dawkins, OG
Chidobe Awuzie, CB
Budda Baker, FS
Curtis Samuel, RB/WR
Caleb Brantley, DT
Fabian Moreau, CB
TJ Watt, OLB
Adoree' Jackson, CB

I would take Reuben Foster in #2.

By the way, we all failed #1. Somehow Jonathan Allen was left off the list (consensus mock is a weird thing where that can happen). So presumably we would have all taken him at 20 even though he's almost certainly off the board by 5 irl.

I never fail at Mock Drafts.

It just happened. We need to accept the mocking sting of criticism and become a stronger mockerfocker.

Same answer as scenario #1 - take best LT on the board.

Foster, and don't look back

You listed 3, do you have a preference?

From what I've read...it's the guy from Wisconsin. If he didn't have the injury history it seems like he'd be the one clear first round LT. **** injuries - Gronk had injury issues. So did Julio Jones. So did a lot of guys in college. We ain't scurred. Pick that man.

I'd take Cam over Ramczyk. I don't get the de-hype regarding the Bama taco. Watching him go against Myles Garrett, I think he's easily the best taco in this draft. Want someone to challenge that notion.

Plus Ramczyk is in it for the paycheck. Nothing wrong with that at all, but it's something.

I prefer Ramczyk over Robinson and Bolles but can be persuaded otherwise. Bolles is older and yet only has one year of power conference experience. Ramczyk is in a similar boat but it's Wisconsin, not Utah, and the Badgers have been cracking out top OLs lately. Robinson, from what I read has maturity issues but, on raw talent, is as good as the other two.

That's why I've said if Elway picks a different LT than I would have, I'll presume they've done their homework and know something more that I don't. Then again this is the same GM that drafted Schumacher and Sambrailo so maybe I am giving too much credit here.

Elway is playing the old bait and switch. He's making the entire NFL think that we are taking a LT or Christian McCaffrey. Then at 20 he takes the franchise MLB, Haason Reddick.

Foster.
