Thread: 25 Mocks

I checked out 25 mock drafts. Results for Denver are as follows:
Pickett, QB, Pitt x5
Ojabo, Edge, Michigan x4
Willis, QB, Liberty x3
Gardner, CB, Cincinnati x3
Lloyd, LB, Utah x2
Dean, LB, Georgia
Karlaftis, Edge, Purdue
Cross, OT, Mississippi State
Davis, DT, Georgia
Stingley Jr, CB, LSU
Corral, QB, Mississippi
Walker, DE, Georgia
Johnson, Edge, Florida State (trade back to 20)

NFL Network and ESPN guys seem to also lean Pickett heavy for us with a few outliers

The only one I don’t want is Karlaftis, 9 is too high for Walker.

Walker is such a monster though. I think he is completely untapped. He may be the 1 non QB reach I'd actually be excited about.

He’s 275, you like him on the Edge or DE?

He's most likely down.

That said, I see him as a Malik Jackson type. Jackson did it all in college but as he gained weight he eventually moved inside. He can start outside and see how he handles it. Scheme will obviously matter.

Ojabo, Gardner or Lloyd would be my preferences on that list

I would be in heaven if we took Pickett.

Lloyd would be my guy. I'm not sold on a QB at 9. I think we'll look elsewhere than the draft for the next QB. I wouldn't gripe at a front 7 defender.

Does this include McShay’s new mock? Curious who he has Denver taking…

Edit: never mind, I just found the answer…. https://www.si.com/nfl/broncos/news/...dd-mcshay-mock

Guys I want wearing Denver uniforms (9 or trade back) include:
Johnson of Florida State
T. Walker of Georgia
Gardner of Cincinnati
Lloyd of Utah
Cross of Mississippi State
Ekwonu of NC State

Those are my guys. There are others I'd be fine with. But these are my preferences.

And I couldn't be mad at QB at 9.

I'm in lockstep with you, and at QB I would be fine with Willis, Corral or Pickett whoever they like best at 9. I am a massive fan of Ekwonu. Walker is also underrated Atm, workouts will probably change that. Gardner and Lloyd would be great options for this team as well. Lots of chatter about us showing interest in Jordan Davis as well. Ojabo could be a good option as well.

9. Denver Broncos: George Karlaftis, Edge Rusher, Purdue

If the Packers end up with this pick, they will select Karlaftis, some other edge rusher, or Sauce Gardner and rebrand themselves as a pesky young defense-oriented team.

If the Seahawks possess this pick, they will try to position themselves for a Malik Willis-centric rebuild.

If the Texans end up with it, they will fold it into a little origami sailboat and set it free in the Gulf of Mexico.

And if the 49ers or Colts end up with it, Broncos fans should just set their season ticket letters on fire.

But if the Broncos retain the pick and neither Willis nor Kenny Pickett is on the board, they should grab an edge rusher to supplement oft-injured Bradley Chubb and upgrade a pass rush that fell to 18th in adjusted sack rate last season.

Just who the best edge rusher available will be should sort itself out after the combine. For now, Walkthrough likes Karlaftis’ combination of size, athleticism, hand-fighting technique and upside.

If Denver is going to sit pat with Drew they might as well trade Chubb for more picks and grab a couple of edge rushers in this draft. I just dont think in the long run that Chubb will be reliable enough health wise so just rebuild the D line.

Lloyd needs to run better than projected to go 9th, imo.
