Javon Kinlaw would be a excellent pick if we need DL. FA will dictate for us in a big way.

We should be looking at the following for pick 15

ILB Kenneth Murray
S/LB Isaiah Simmons
WR Laviska Shenault
CB Trayvon Diggs
S Grant Delpit
DT Javon Kinlaw

If we want OL we should trade back to the 20-22 range grab Wirfs or Barton and get the extra pick so we can smash day 2 of the draft.....

CB wit 1st no

Some think Wirfs can play LT, if teams think so too he won’t be there at 15.

Wills just declared. He is the other Alabama OT. Some think he is best pass blocker in draft. Probable first round grade.

Radio is reporting comp picks in the 5th (for Billy Turner) and two 7ths (for a couple people that I can’t remember).

Agreed but I personally don’t think he will be a LT.....but I’m no one special either lol....

He’s from Bama, Inc, he’s not even being considered.

And don't forget the Badger who could fix our Center issues. Biadasz is a beast. I prefer LT, but he'd be a great option too.

Biadasz or Creed Humphrey - either is okay with me. Centers aren't sexy, but I'm still mad about not making a move for Cody Whitehair when he fell to the middle of the 2nd a few years ago in the Paxton Lynch draft. If Denver wants to move back a few and still get their center, that's okay. There's only one LT I'm sold on and we're about 10-12 spots away from being able to get him. I think Wirfs is a RT, and that's fine. We could use all the help we can get on the OL, I just don't expect him to handle LT.

The other guys are more late-1st / early 2nd round types for me. Denver's not gonna keep 11-12 picks or whatever it winds up as after the comp picks are finally announced. I'm fine with moving around the draft. There are some good OL in it, and Denver has a buncha needs. I just don't think Denver can get to 3 or 4 for Andrew Thomas. Maybe if they were moving up from 10 - stupid Raiders...

Agreed. I think any "big fish" we get for the OL should hopefully come in FA (Sherff, Thuney, Williams, etc.) and then fill other spots via draft in rounds where the value is there. Like you said...no way we draft more than 8 or 9 guys, so the other picks can be used to move up when the need arises.

Has Biadasz as the 4th best center and getting drafted in the 3rd. Wills from Bama as OT1 and Thomas as OT3. Jordan Love as the 3rd best QB and 16th overall.

Draft rankings are funny to me, where guys specifically rate players in such a way that their "updates" to their board can show more movement between now and April.

the Willis thing is interesting, many didn't think he would declare. Many scouts also said if he did he could be a top 15 pick due to his elite technique in pass blocking. I still fully believe Thomas is the most well rounded OT 1 at this point, but Willis has shown on tape elite pass blocking ability. Jackson from USC has also shown this. I wouldn't fault anyone for mixing these 3 around a lot in the next few months....

As for center its clear to me Biadasz is the top guy and based off what he just put down for 2019 against the run and in 1 on 1 passing situations its not even close except for maybe Creed Humphrey a sophomore from Oklahoma that may not even declare. Hansen and Harris are 3rd or 4th rd picks to me but because of a crappy class will probably go higher then expected. Neither of them are a upgrade over McGovern in my eyes.

McGovern is a FA, and some team is going to pay him if its not us cause the options in FA are bad and the draft is pretty crappy as well. I'm not so sure I want us to pay McGovern top center money but we may have to pay him a substantial amount cause we don't have much choice, as the only potential upgrade in my eyes at this point is Biadasz, and that's still just potentially, and to expect we will draft him is foolhardy for a GM to do.

No!

It’s ok! Netane Muti declared (poor decision), maybe they can get him as a steal.
