Mocking the Draft

[Arkie]

31. Ryan Shazier, OLB, Ohio State
Both Paris Lenon and Wesley Woodyard are free agents for the Broncos, and Shazier is a clear upgrade. Shazier is capable of playing outside or inside linebacker in the NFL. He's more physical than his measurables indicate and gets to the ball as fast as any linebacker in the draft this year.

63. Pierre Desir, CB, Lindenwood
For teams looking to add bigger cornerbacks this offseason, Desir will be a hot commodity. He can get physical with opposing receivers, and help fill one of Denver's biggest needs.

95. Tre Mason, RB, Auburn
Knowshon Moreno is a free agent, and some consider Mason among the best running backs in the draft.

To me, Shazier is a WLB in the NFL. We have enough WLB's and SLB's
I want Mosley or Smallwood at MLB.

Meltdown draft.

Meltdown draft.

Yes please! The meltdown, not the draft.

Ryan Shazier as a MLB? Dafuq?

[BMORE]

I like Shazier.

Apparently the draft is May now? For real? Looks like I might have to go to Glacier in June instead to camp. GAH.

If we draft a MLB I'd hope for Andrew Jackson

We can get him late in the draft. His stock plummeted this year.
Probably a 4th rounder if he has a good combine and pro day, if not then a 5th-7th.
I want us to draft him as well.

Spoke highly of him last year. It depends what we are looking for from the position. He's a two down player. If we lose Woodyard, who is the other subpackage LB? We could certainly look to sign a coverage LB in free agency.

Jackson would be a downhill enforcer, even though he had a down year. I liked him last year and think he has plenty of physical attributes you need from a MLB. But his hips are stiff...

I think we will take a more complete MLB or we will have to have a subpackage LB to play with Trevethan.

Me personally I want 2 MLB's in the draft.
Smallwood in the 1st or 2nd, Jackson in the later rounds.

Some dude got Smallwood for us in the 5th round @ NFLDraftCountdown's forums.

I don't see Smallwood falling lower than the 2nd unless his combine is pure crap.

What benefit would that serve us drafting Smallwood and Jackson. I am all for drafting two LBs, but one has to be a coverage LB!

I just want the position upgraded. A legit 1 and 2 at MLB.
If one falters the other can take his place and have it be a big time competition.
