Some other Mock Drafts

13. Denver Broncos (from WAS) - CB/WR Will Blackmon, Boston College

15. Denver Broncos - OT Jonathan Scott, Texas

5. Denver Broncos (from WAS) - OLB AJ Hawk, Ohio State

23. Denver Broncos - DT Orien Harris, Miami


NFL Draft Blitz - 7-21-2005

5) Denver Broncos (From Wash) - D'Brickashaw Ferguson (OT) Virginia

Analysis: Matt Lepsis is still a solid player for the team but they can't help but take Ferguson off the board here. D'Brickashaw fits nicely into the Redskins offensive line's blocking scheme and has superstar potential.

(I think he meant to say the Broncos' line scheme. Also, only gives the top 10 picks free, so don't get to see the 2nd pick)

7. Denver (from Washington) - Mario Williams,DE - North Carolina State

23. Denver - Orien Harris,DT - Miami

1. Denver Broncos (from Washington) - Matt Leinart, QB, USC

19. Denver Broncos - Loren Howard, DE, Northwestern

9. Denver Broncos (from Washington) – Omar Jacobs, QB Bowling Green
Jake Plummer has been inconsistent throughout his career, and despite a solid ‘04 campaign, the Broncos would have to consider a QB of Jacobs’ caliber.

11. Denver Broncos – Derrick Hagan, WR Arizona State
Ashley Lelie had a nice 2004 season and Darius Watts should develop into an outstanding No. 3 receiver, but Rod Smith is on the downside of his career.

6.)Denver (from Washington) - DE - Mathias Kiwanuka - Boston College

17.)Denver - OT - Max Jean-Gilles - Georgia


Lion Backers - ?

4 Denver Broncos (f/WAS) Mathias Kiwanuka DE Boston College
Kiwi is a freak, a pass rusher extraordinaire who has the frame to become an even better player in the NFL. Could replace Browns castoffs that the Broncos signed.

18 Denver Broncos Andrew Whitworth OT LSU
Whitworth is more of a football player than an athlete, and doesn’t grade out as well as you would believe, but would fit nicely at LT for the Broncos, replacing Matt Lepsis.





There are more, but my 56k connection at work is wearing thin. Enjoy.

I'm not to excited about the first one, but I wouldn't kick too much about any of the others at this point, but it is a long time till April.

[Mr. Trout]

The Broncs are not going to draft a QB in the first 2 rounds for as long as Jake is the quarterback, which should be about five more years. People place too much emphasis on replacing the current QB. Look at the Packers who needed defensive help and took Aaron Rodgers and Favre could still probably play two more years after this one.

[SoCalBronco]

Some of those combos are awesome. Mario W. and Harris. Kiwi and Max Jean Gilles/Whitworth. Hawk and Harris would be great if we didnt get Gold. Blackmon is a good corner but we dont need anymore. Obviously I hate Leinart. Very lukewarm on Jacobs/Hagan. I could take Hagan but not Jacobs, at least not that high.

[bananasplit_13]

I would like the one from Consensus on another post that had us taking Winston and Jimmy Williams in the first. That would be ideal - a tackle to replace Lepsis long-term, and a safety who has the ability to cover more than just his ass, which we still don't have unless Ferguson starts pulling rabbits out of his hat, and quick.

As for later rounds, I see us picking up either Degory or Eslinger for a centre in the 2nd, or the 3rd if neither is gone by the time we pick in the 2nd, and a guard in either the second or the 3rd. Dunno how/when we will start looking more at the D, will depend on how the year goes I guess.

I can't agree with this statement for two reasons.

1. In 8 years, Plummer has 20 INT's 5 times. If he continues that this year, I believe the Broncos will be looking at a replacement much sooner than 5 years.

2. It has been since 1991 that we have had a top 10 pick. And I don't see us getting another top 10 anytime soon. If you can get a franchise QB in the top 10, not many teams will pass on that opportunity.

This will be an interesting year to see if either LeSeuer or Browner develop at S. I think one, if not both, might become very good players.

Jake is too erratic to be counted on. He might be a piece that helps Denver to a SB win, but he's not going to carry them to one. Age and his escalating salaries have to be figured in as well.

Good points. I was just saying that Shannahan has already committed to Jake. It would suck if we had a so called franchise QB riding the pine for too long behind Jake. If Plummer does blow ass this year/ which IMO won't happen they should draft a QB. I just don't like the idea of using a first or secound rounder when their are going to be some studs at other positions in next years draft.

Yeah, his salaries do escalate but that is the same as every other player in the league. He is erratic, I guess this season will prove people wrong or re-affirm their beliefs about him. Like I said previously Shannahan has already given Jake the vote of confidence and it would not be very productive if we had a high price QB holding a clipboard for more than two years.

Give me Lienart and a stud LT and I will be happy. The back bone of the O is always going to be a stud LT and a great QB. Drafting both in the first round of a draft would rock.

Give me Zac Taylor and a stud LT and I will be happy as opposed to that. And Ive never even seen Zac Taylor play. Leinart's a scrub.

As much as I would love to try and homer that I can't

[Mr. Trout]

Leinart will bust. Leinart will bust. Leinart will bust.

The guy won't bust. He has IT.

[DBroncos4life]

6'5" over 220 pounds. Thats what you want in a QB. A guy who can see the field. Passes won't be knocked down at the line either. Smart player with a good arm. Pete and Chow don't make bad QB's boys. Just face it. He will be the future.

[Mr. Trout]

We'll see DB, he just seems way to system for me. I am in favor of mobile quaterbacks.

I have been impressed with Browner. He was unable to participate earlier but seems to be catching up quickly. Our LBs should be set for 3 years and like mentioned earlier Jake (unless he completely craps out) will be the starter for at least 2 more years. So I would think the 2 picks may be in the trenches at OT/DE or DT.

With this years cream of the crop being OT, I'll be dissapointed if one of our first 2 picks isn't an OL. (That almost guarantees that we won't take one.)

You can call Leinart a whole bunch of thing, but you can't call him a scrub. A scrub is a loser, a guy who plays during the strike years, a no-talent no-heart sob.

Matt Leinart stayed in school, and passed up sure fortune, and most probably, fame to finish his degree and be there for his team. The guy has done what it takes to win 2 national championships on very talent loaded teams. But there are a hell of alot of talent loaded teams that fall short, just ask Oklahoma.

Matt Leinart needs to prove himself this year. Prove that he has NFL talent, and prove that he has top-tier NFL talent. I will be watching him very close...

And I did watch him close last year. He has pocket presence and poise. He has a big enough frame to be very effective in the pro game. The thing that Leinart has, which I believe is his strong suit, is, above all, he has very, very good accuracy. And that, my friend, might very well be the single most important thing to have in the NFL game. Not good accuracy, but VERY GOOD accuracy.

I think Accuracy is the one thing that is missing in Shanahan's (offensive) System. Very good accuracy is the difference between a 7 yard gain, and, if properly led, a 20-35 yard game-breaker. Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy. We Need it. Matt Leinart (*might*) has it.

With all that said, Leinart has to prove it this year. Consistently prove it. Have poise and ice water in his veins. I want to believe he will come through with flying colors. But in this case Seeing is believing. I need to see it first.

Whoever we draft next year, I want it to be the players that make this Broncos team the best possible team it can be, both then, and into the short-term and very long-term future.


GO BRONCOS!!!!

Yeah, I think our system is changing, so we don't necessarily HAVE to have a mobile QB anymore. I think what is more important is to have one with very good ACCURACY!!

BTW, SoCal, SOB was a SCRUB!!

Id take SOB every day of the week over Leinhart and 8 times on Sundays. SOB is one of the top 10 QBs in this league, Leinart is a system QB who has been propped up by his star teammates all the way back to HS.

Atleast Leinart can throw the ball more than 10 yards down the field.


You know the real reason Greise hated the SHOTGUN?

Because he knew he couldn't throw the ball past the Line of schrimage from it!! rofl
