Time to start mauling folks and the 1 QB I do like will be gone by 5.
Round 2.40
Donte Jackson, CB, LSU
CB depth is a concern. I'd love Michel here, but A) he's likely gone and B) there are more RBs than CBs in this draft.
Round 3.71
Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego State
I will also allow any answer including Guice, Chubb or Kelly here.
Round 3.99
DeSean Hamilton, WR, Penn State
Time to start getting serious about having quality young WRs. Hamilton can ball.
Round 4.106
Mike White, QB, Western Kentucky
LOVE this kid. Would take him earlier if needed. Definitely who I want if we deal Lynch as QB3. His Pros are very solid for someone who only really played 1 year HS football. His Cons are minimal. He will take some sacks. That's why we get Nelson first.
Round 4.113
Micah Kiser, LB, Virginia
All around good player and we could use another LB. Also like Nwosu of USC, but probably gone here.
I'd love that draft. Gonna need another ILB somewhere though
Agree Timmy. We need a good ole thumper again!
Bill Williamson:
"The Broncos went from one of the more attractive organizations in the NFL to one in total disarray. McDaniels will go down as one of the most reviled figures in Denver sports history".

I really like Assassin's draft from the 3rd round on. In round 1, I would deviate to Bradley Chubb.
With addition of Valdheer (sp?) at RT and the mini-breakout of McGovern late last year, plus the
freshman year being behind Bolles, I think the Broncos will actually have a decent line, and they
will have the athletic Case Keenum behind them.
But somebody has to give Von a break. Shaq, while very good against the run, is a fairly good
pass rusher, but they need better than that. Ray is a question mark -- maybe he will, maybe he
won't. The Broncos can't gamble. Passing on Nelson won't be a gamble. Passing on Chubb will.
In round two, I really like Leighton Vander Esch, LB, Boise State. He's big (6'4", 240) and fast
(4.6/40). His numbers last year stand out: 91 solos, 8.5 TFLs, 4 sacks, 2 INTs . . . and he can
cover TEs. He is projected for the 2nd round, so that would be about right.
Add Assassin's selections to those, and I think the Broncos make out like bandits . . .

May be. But I didn't come up with that all by myself.
When he declared for the draft he was given a 2nd round grade by the committee, so there’s a chance you’re right, but that was before the combine/Pro day.

Draft
1st round— Cooper Dejean CB
2nd round— Jack Sawyer OLB
3rd round— Will Shipley RB
4th round— Ricky Pearsall WR
5th round— Ladd McKonkey WR
6th round— Cash Jones RB
7th round— Carson Steele RB
So, I hear some folks say we have no TE and can't count on Butt. Others sail through the entire draft without taking a TE. Please explain who will be the TE for next year. Isn't Victor Green a free agent (and a below-average TE besides)? Are we betting Heuerman finally breaks through? I'll hang up and listen.
Kizer is the best pick in outside of Nelson. Other than that I'm not sold on the other guys selected. Not so much the positions just the choices and where you took them. Also, we still have DT and Sanders. Investing that much into that position at this time is kind of silly. IMO.

I'm looking at recent history of winners in the NFL. The teams with 1 stud aren't winning real games. The teams who have weapons 3-6 that defenses can't cover are winning. Atlanta has Julio, but they also have 2 very solid RBs and a handful or WRs who matchup well. NE and Philly have no real stars at RB or WR. Gronk helps but he's not reliable. We need many more weapons IMO.
This is not a prediction...just what Id like to see.
Good mock SA. Nelson at 5 makes it a win from the start. I do think Elway drafts a tackle at some point this year. Penny would be a nice addition to the running back stable, but I'm not sure he's there in the third. Deontay Burnett is one of my sleepers. He reminds me of a young Emmanuel Sanders. Nice pick in the 5th.

Penny could easily be gone. But I'll gladly take Guice, Chubb or Kelly.
Michel is who I want but I think someone gets him in round 1.
