Broncos Seven Round Mock Draft, Updated 4/22: Does Denver Take Knowshon?

This will be a first for me. I’ve learned how to tie my shoes, I’ve learned how to ride a bike, but never have I done a Denver Broncos seven round mock draft.

Did I dramatize that a bit too much?

Mock drafts now come simple to me. I decided to try one out for Denver.

Round One(12)- Tyson Jackson, Defensive End, LSU

Nothing would change my mind about this pick. Tyson Jackson needs to be the pick at No. 12 for the Broncos.

Tyson is a pass-rushing specialist who can get to the quarterback very quickly. He’s a monster in every sense of the word.

Jackson will fit in great in Denver’s 3-4 system. The Broncos should have a fairly talented defensive line come next year.

Round One (18)- Brian Cushing, Outside Linebacker, USC

For those of you who want Rey Maualuga with this pick. I’m sorry. I have him going to the Chargers two picks prior to this.

Denver needs a great tackling linebacker. They often gave up easy runs up the middle due to the fact that they struggled to wrap up the running back.

Brian Cushing is a great football player. He is very strong and quick for his size.

Round Two (48)- D.J. Moore, Cornerback, Vanderbilt

Right off the bat it sounds that D.J. Moore would be going way too late in the draft. In case you didn’t notice, Moore’s stock is slipping.

Josh McDaniels has done a great job at fixing the secondary, but they still need a young and talented cornerback for the future.

D.J. Moore is only 5″10, but he plays like somebody who is much taller. He is a lot like Dre’ Bly though, which could be a problem.

Round Three (79)- Rashad Johnson, Safety, Alabama

Brian Dawkins will do a terrific job at free safety for the next few years until he retires. With that said, who will take over for him when he’s gone?

Rashad Johnson would be a steal in the mid-third round. He’s a good player, and one of the better safeties in this year’s draft.

Round Three (84)- Rashad Jennings, Running Back, Liberty

Denver has six running backs on the roster. That’s fantastic! Wait… Who is your starter? Lamont Jordan? Correll Buckhalter?

The Broncos need to figure out who will be starting for them next season. I do believe it will be somebody on the roster currently, but Jennings could give that player a run for their money. No pun intended.

Rashad is 6″1, 230 pounds. He’s a very physical running back that Denver needs. The future starter for the Broncos remains to be seen, but Rashad Jennings is a legitimate candidate.

Round Four (114)- Sammie Lee Hill, Defensive Tackle, Stillman

In round four the Broncos could get the potential steal of the draft. Call me a homer for saying it, but it could be true.

Denver desperately needs a dominant defensive tackle. They have Ronny Fields, but he might be for depth purposes only for now.

Sammie Lee Hill is a 6″4, 330 pound run-stuffing monster. The Broncos must draft him if he’s on the board.

Round Five (149)- Mike Reilly, Quarterback, Central Washington

Who will be the starter at quarterback for the Denver Broncos in week 1 of the 2009 season? Nobody knows this right now.

Josh McDaniels will look for a late-round gem at quarterback instead of a first to third round pick.

Mike Reilly will be a solid pick in the fifth round. He will be of good value to the Broncos at some point in his career.

Round Six (185)- Vaughn Martin, Defensive Tackle, Western Ontario

My good friend Sayre Bedinger and I are very fond of Vaughn Martin. He is an incredibly talented lineman.

Vaughn Martin isn’t recognized by many people because he goes to a small school in Ontario, Canada. He would be a first day pick if he went to a school like USC.

Vaughn Martin could inevitably be the future defensive tackle for the Broncos. He’s the prototype for a defensive tackle.

Round Seven (225)- Jarett Dillard, Wide Receiver, Rice

Jarett Dillard has a very confusing draft status. I’ve seen him as high as a third-round-pick and now as low as a seventh-round-pick.

Denver has two talented receivers in Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal, but they could use another weapon on offense.

Round Seven (235)- Brett Helms, Center, LSU

Brett Helms will get the chance to re-unite with his former teammate, Tyson Jackson.

Casey Wiegmann will likely retire from the Broncos in the next couple of years. It is expected that Kory Lichtensteiger is going to be a guard that replaces the aging Ben Hamilton.

2009 NFL Mock Draft Round One WIth Three Days Until Real Deal

There are exactly four days to go until the 2009 NFL Draft.

It doesn’t seem like to long ago when the Dolphins agreed to a contract with offensive tackle Jake Long.

The draft is on April 25 in case you haven’t heard. I’m guessing you have.

Let’s get my second to last mock draft started!

1. Detroit Lions – Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia

If you didn’t see Matthew Stafford on Jimmy Fallon the other night, here’s a link:
http://www.freep.com/article/20090417/SPORTS01/90417055/1059/SPORTS11
To show his accuracy at throwing the ball, Stafford threw footballs at dinner plates as they were flying through the air. He hit 3 out of 4 plates.

Many question Stafford’s decision-making and accuracy. Often times he throws passes in double-coverage and sometimes even triple-coverage. Matthew must work on his accuracy in the NFL.

With that said, Stafford should be the No. 1 overall pick. This class of quarterback’s is the worst we’ve had in quite some time. Detroit can’t wait until next year to get a signal-caller. They need to take a risk on one this year.

2. St. Louis Rams – Jason Smith, OT, Baylor

Jason Smith a few months ago wasn’t one of the more recognized offensive tackle’s in the draft. Jason needs to thank Andre Smith for being one of the biggest bone-heads ever. If Andre had shown up for the combine, he would likely still be the No. 1 offensive tackle in the draft.

Jason Smith had an impressive career at Baylor. He should have a great NFL career if he can stay healthy. He’s a very mature player. If you look at his senior season photo at Baylor, Jason looks to be about 40 years old.

St. Louis’ run game has taken a down-fall over the past few years. They need a dominant tackle like Smith to anchor the line. Also, if the Rams expect Marc Bulger to be injury-free, St. Louis needs to find some protection.

3. Kansas City Chiefs – Aaron Curry, OLB, Wake Forest

Aaron Curry is an extremely talented linebacker. He was a potential No. 1 overall pick before the Lions traded for Julian Peterson from the Seahawks. Nonetheless, Aaron is still a top 5 pick for sure.

Kansas City filled a need at middle linebacker with the signing of Zach Thomas, and the trade for Mike Vrabel from New England. The Chiefs still need a star outside linebacker.

Aaron Curry is a great tackler and a force to be wreckoned with. He is very strong and a quick linebacker. Curry has all the tools to be a great linebacker in the NFL. My early pick for Defensive Rookie of the Year is Aaron Curry.

4. Seattle Seahawks – Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia

Happy belated birthday to Eugene Monroe! The former Virginia Cavalier turned 22 years old on Saturday.

The Seahawks were reported saying that their first round priority is on an offensive tackle. Usually when something like that is said, it happens. It also makes a lot of sense. Seattle’s offensive line is pretty pathetic.

Eugene Monroe is a monster, and a tremendous blocker. He would fit right in Seattle from the very start. He would likely start from day one. Monroe is that good of a player. The Seahawks just need to utilize his abilities in the right way.

5. Cleveland Browns – Brian Orakpo, DE/OLB, Texas

Brian Orakpo is an absolute beast. I remember watching in several games this year. He is a tough and a team-first kind of player. I would be scared to go against him.

Cleveland has more defensive problems than they do offensive problems. That’s why I don’t think Michael Crabtree will be the Browns first round selection. If they trade Braylon Edwards, I will likely change my mind. Where we stand, Edwards is still on Cleveland’s roster.

Brian Orakpo is a tremendous hybrid player. He would likely be more suited as an outside linebacker rather than a defensive end. Orakpo is very similar to New York Jets 2008 first round pick, Vernon Gholston.

6. Cincinnati Bengals – Andre Smith, OT, Alabama

Andre Smith may have character issues, but he is still a top ten pick in my mind. No matter the mistakes he’s made, Andre has the chance to fix all of those. He just needs to make the right choices from here on out.

Cincinnati lost Stacy Andrews to the Philadelphia Eagles. Andrews was the last talented offensive lineman on the Bengals roster. Andre Smith is the safe pick at this point. B.J. Raji is a potential option, but I just don’t see it happening.

Andre Smith is a great blocker because he’s so huge. Whatever you do, don’t look at the picture of him running without his shirt. It’s sure to make you go “Yuuuuck!”

7. Oakland Raiders – Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech

The Raiders have potential starts in Johnny Lee Higgins and Chaz Schilens, but can they be stars for the Raiders in 2009? My gut tells me they won’t be impact players for another couple years or so.

I’ve heard many people say that the Raiders need an offensive tackle in the first round. I disagree with that. I think they can get a solid offensive tackle in round No. 2. Jamon Meredith would be a solid fit.

Michael Crabtree is a freak of an athlete. He has it all, speed, size, and toughness. He is easily the best wide receiver in this year’s draft. Crabtree should have a Randy Moss like impact in his rookie season.

8. New England Patriots from Jacksonville – Aaron Maybin, DE/OLB, Penn State

New England trades their 23rd overall pick and their 47th overall pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for their 8th overall pick

The Patriots could use depth in the front seven. They have a big need at left outside linebacker. Pierre Woods would likely be the starter if the Patriots don’t get somebody better.

Jacksonville has been looking to trade down for quite some time now. New England seems like the likely suitor for that. They have three second-round-picks that they can deal out. I doubt they keep every single of them.

Aaron Maybin is a great athlete. He added weight in case he has to play defensive end for some team. If the Patriots draft him, I doubt he starts at defensive end.

9. Green Bay Packers – B.J. Raji, DT, Boston College

B.J. Raji is a great athlete, but he must stay out of trouble. Green Bay can not afford to have Raji be a bust. Their defense has started to slip talent-wise.

The Packers run defense was awful during the second-half of the season. Opposing running backs ran all over their pathetic defense. Green Bay needs to draft B.J. in order to fix this problem.

Raji is an incredible run-stuffing athlete. He is the best defensive tackle in the draft by miles. He will be exactly what the Packers need. As a Vikings fan, I’m not going to be looking forward to facing him twice a year.

10. San Francisco 49’ers – Mark Sanchez, QB, USC

I have realized that the 49’ers have crappy quarterbacks. Alex Smith has been a colossal failure since being drafted in 2004. Nobody besides him is even worth starting in the NFL.

I don’t care what the fans think about this pick. I honestly don’t. It’s the smartest pick for San Francisco, and the biggest need to fill. They can get an offensive tackle or pass-rushing defensive end later.

Mark Sanchez is a very talented quarterback. In my opinion, Sanchez is very over-rated. When Tebow and McCoy were expected to come out, Sanchez was a second or third round pick. Now he’s a top 10 pick? Tells you how terrible this QB class is.

11. Buffalo Bills – Everette Brown, DE/OLB, Florida State

Aaron Schobel has lost a step in his once good pass-rushing skills. He is getting up there in age and likely won’t be around for too much longer.

Buffalo needs to start looking towards the future. A pass-rusher is what they desperately need. The Bills need to improve on defense if they want to compete in the AFC East.

Everette Brown needs to add a little weight if he wants to play on the defensive line. With that said, Buffalo still needs to draft him. Brown is the best player available at this point.

12. Denver Broncos – Tyson Jackson, DE, LSU

Something the Denver Broncos lacked last season was a strong pass rusher. Now that they have switched to the 3-4, Denver needs a big and strong defensive end.

Josh McDaniels has done an excellent job at fixing up the defense. Just a solid outside linebacker and a pass-rusher are all that is needed.

For those of you who think Denver will trade up to get Mark Sanchez… It’s not going to happen. I’ve said it countless times that it’s not in McDaniels style to draft a quarterback in the early rounds.

Tyson Jackson is a monster and a great run-stuffer and pass-rusher that Denver needs. I’m very fond of him as of late. Jackson is the perfect pick for the Broncos.

13. Washington Redskins – Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss

I really don’t like the idea of this pick. I think it’s way too early for Michael Oher to go off the boards. Washington needs a solid offensive tackle right away.

Washington has a very small chance of winning the NFC East, let alone making the playoffs. They need to draft players that can build for the future.

Michael Oher is a good athlete. I once had him as the No. 1 overall pick for the Detroit Lions. Since then, a lot of things have changed. Oher seems like a “bust” kind of player, though.

14. New Orleans Saints – Malcolm Jenkins, DB, Ohio State

The Saints lost Josh Bullocks to the Chicago Bears. He isn’t a great safety, but he left a big need for New Orleans to fill at safety.

New Orleans brought in former Jaguars defensive coordinator, Gregg Williams to fill the same position on the coaching staff. He has a done a good job thus far at shaping up some of the defense.

Malcolm Jenkins is a great player who has seen his stock plummet after the combine. He ran an average 40 yard dash time. Nonetheless, Jenkins is a top 15 pick.

15. Philadelphia Eagles from Houston – Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri

Philadelphia trades their 21st overall selection and Sheldon Brown to the Houston Texans for their 15th overall pick.

Andy Reid is known for making a lot of trades. It’s likely that the Eagles will try to move up from their pick at No. 21.

Philadelphia could use a deep-threat on offense. DeSean Jackson is a great player, but he’s very small and is suited more for the slot.

Jeremy Maclin is an incredibly talented player. He can provide kick-returning skills as well.

16. San Diego Chargers – Rey Maualuga, MLB, USC, 6″2, 254 lbs, 22 year old Senior

The Chargers defense really struggled without the services of former first-round-pick Shawne Merriman.

San Diego needs to fix their front-seven more than anything. Don’t be surprised if they pass on Maualuga for a pass-rushing defensive end.

Rey Maualuga is without a doubt the best middle linebacker in the draft. He will be a great pro player if he lands with the right team.

17. New York Jets – Chris Wells, Running Back, Ohio State

Percy Harvin is too much of a risk to take on this early in the draft, as well as Kansas State quarterback, Josh Freeman.

Thomas Jones is 31 years old and nearing the end of his career. Typically running backs get more worn down as their career goes on.

The Jets should take Wells and build him up to be the starter for the future. Only god knows if Chris will be any sort of threat in his rookie season.

18. Denver Broncos – Brian Cushing, Outside Linebacker, USC

The focus of the first round is to get as much defensive help as possible. Denver already got their pass-rusher in Tyson Jackson, and now they get their dominant outside linebacker in Brian Cushing.

The Broncos need to address the front-seven. Andra Davis will start at middle linebacker along with D.J. Williams.

Brian Cushing is a strong player. If you’ve seen this guy’s arms, you would gasp. He is a gym-rat.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Michael Johnson, OLB/DE, Georgia Tech

This pick may surprise some people. I had Peria Jerry going at this spot for a few weeks now. I decided that Michael Johnson is the better choice.

The Buccaneers defense has gotten worse compared to last year. They released Cato June and Derrick Brooks, and failed to re-sign Phillip Buchanon.

Michael Johnson is a monster. He will likely play at outside linebacker for the Bucs. He has been compared to Julius Peppers before as well.

20. Detroit Lions from Dallas – Peria Jerry, DT, Ole Miss

The Lions have a terrible defense. They traded Cory Redding to the Seahawks for Julian Peterson.

Detroit needs to find the future run-stuffing defensive tackle for their franchise. They should go for Eben Britton at this pick, but I doubt that they make that move.

21. Houston Texans from Philadelphia – Robert Ayers, DE, Tennessee

The Texans are doing a fantastic job at re-building the defense. They made a great move in signing Cato June at outside linebacker.

Houston doesn’t have many needs to fill, surprisingly. Robert Ayers might not start from day one, but he will be a starter in the future.

Ayers is too good to pass up on. Houston could once again trade down for even more picks or players.

22. Minnesota Vikings – Eben Britton, OT, Arizona

Minnesota’s right tackle situation is one that needs to be fixed. Ryan Cook was a complete failure all year long. Artis Hicks wasn’t the answer either.

The Vikings running game will be even better if they can solidify the offensive line.

Eben Britton is an incredible athlete. He also has a very high I.Q. for the game of football in general.

23. Jacksonville Jaguars from New England – Josh Freeman, QB, Kansas State

David Garrard is getting up their in age and the Jaguars don’t have complete confidence in him to lead the team.

I believe that Jacksonville can get the better of their trade with the Patriots if they draft Josh Freeman, a 6’5″ stud.

24. Atlanta Falcons – Clay Matthews, OLB, USC

The Falcons lost Michael Boley to the Giants during this off-season. Atlanta must find a replacement for him.

Atlanta needs to keep the defense young and talented. They had a great season last year, but it could have been a fluke.

Clay Matthews is a great athlete, and a good tackling linebacker.

25. Miami Dolphins – Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois

Miami lost it’s former starting cornerback Andre’ Goodman to the Denver Broncos. They must find a replacement in the draft.

The Dolphins weakness last year was on defense. They have two good safeties in Yeremiah Bell and Gibril Wilson who will anchor the secondary.

Vontae Davis’ stock has slipped due to the fact he was benched during his senior season as Illinois.

26. Baltimore Ravens – Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland

The Ravens need a young and talented receiver to start right now. Derrick Mason had a good season, but he is near retirement.

Baltimore needs play-makers on offense. The Ravens were one of the worst teams in the league at passing the ball.

Darrius Heyward-Bey is a quick reciever who has drawn comparisons to former first-round-pick Troy Williamson. That is not good, my friends.

27. Indianapolis Colts – Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina

Marvin Harrison is still looking for a job in the NFL. Indianapolis’ receiving core needs to be fixed.

Reggie Wayne is an excellent No. 1, and Anthony Gonzalez is good in the slot, but the Colts need a No. 2 receiver.

Hakeem Nicks has great hands. He makes the difficult catches that most players don’t even attempt to grab.

28. Buffalo Bills from Philadelphia – Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Oklahoma State

The Bills drafted a good pass-rushing defensive end with their first selection. Now Buffalo must focus on finding a good play-making tight end.

Buffalo brought in Terrell Owens to take some of the pressure off of Lee Evans. They also have James Hardy to play in the slot.

Brandon Pettigrew is without a doubt the best tight end in the draft, but will he go in the first round?

29. New York Giants – Sean Smith, DB, Utah

I don’t think the Giants go for a receiver in the first round. They can get good value with their pick that they traded with New Orleans.

New York needs somebody who can play at both safety at cornerback. Sean Smith might not be a starter right away, but in the future he will be a good starter.

30. Tennessee Titans – Darius Butler, CB, Connecticut

Nick Harper’s contract expires after this coming season. If Tennessee doesn’t re-sign him they will need somebody waiting in line.

The Titans defense will take a turn for the worse because of the loss of Albert Hayneswroth. Somehow Tennessee needs to find a way to fix it.

Darius Butler is a good safety who could be over-looked and might slip into the second round.

31. Arizona Cardinals – Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia

Edgerrin James is soon to get his wish granted by being released.

Tim Hightower is not an every-down-back like he would like to be. He dances around far too much. Arizona needs a tough runner.

Knowshon Moreno is a steal this late in the draft. He could go long before this. Denver is targeting him at No. 18.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers – Alex Mack, C, California

The Steelers could go with a cornerback like Alphonso Smith here, but Alex Mack is far too good to pass up on.

Pittsburgh’s offensive line was pathetic last year. Ben Roethlisberger was one of the more sacked quarterbacks in the league.

Alex Mack is without a doubt the best center in the league, and the favorite to be a part of the 2009 super bowl champions.

The Great Debate: Who Wins the AFC West?

There has been a lot of talk on who will be wearing the “AFC West Champions” t-shirts.

I’ve heard that the Chargers have the best chance because they are the deepest.

I’ve heard that the Raiders will win the AFC West because they have a lot of young talent with incredible potential.

I’ve heard the Chiefs will win because they, well, because there are Chiefs homers everywhere.

I’ve heard that the Denver Broncos are going to win because they have a talented offense, as well as a lot of draft picks.

I wish that there was a clear-cut favorite in one of the worst divisions in the NFL.

Unfortunately, there is not.

The San Diego Chargers won the AFC West last year with an 8-8 record, same as the Denver Broncos, who had a three-game lead with only three games to play.

San Diego defeated the Colts in the opening round, and then was crushed by the Steelers in the divisional round.

Since then, a lot has happened.

Jay Cutler was traded to the Chicago Bears for quarterback Kyle Orton and multiple draft picks.

LaDainian Tomlinson was on the brink of being released if he didn’t renegotiate his contract.

The Chiefs acquired Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel from the Patriots for only a second-round pick.

Oakland released Gibril Wilson and virtually signed nobody that will make a major difference on their team.

I’m going to give my top reasons why each team will win, and also why they won’t win.

Kansas City Chiefs

Why They WILL win:

The Kansas City Chiefs will win the AFC West because of their weapons on offense. Matt Cassel has finally become a good quarterback in the NFL. Dwayne Bowe and Tony Gonzalez are great targets for Cassel, as well as Bobby Engram.

Larry Johnson is also still a Kansas City Chief. He could be on his way out if he doesn’t learn how to become a “team first” kind of player.

The Chiefs also improved on defense. They traded for Mike Vrabel, and signed Zach Thomas to play at linebacker.

They also have a very good, young secondary. Brandon Flowers had an impressive rookie campaign. The other Brandon, Brandon Carr, had 73 tackles, along with two interceptions. Bernard Pollard has become one of the best safeties in the entire league.

Why They WON’T Win

The Chiefs offensive line is average at best. They signed Mike Goff to potentially start at guard. Kansas City likely won’t spend a first-round pick on an offensive lineman.

They lack chemistry on the offensive side of the ball. Two of their top players, Tony Gonzalez and Larry Johnson, want to be traded as soon as possible. Matt Cassel might have a tough time in his first season in Kansas City.

Kansas City’s defensive line needs a true pass rusher. Glenn Dorsey and Tamba Hali are good, but the other two positions need serious help.

Predicted 2009 record: 5-11

Oakland Raiders

Why They WILL Win

Oakland’s offense is full of young talent. Jamarcus Russel went 3-3 in his last six games during the 2008 season.

The Raiders running game should also get better with Darren McFadden getting more carries than he did in ’08. Justin Fargas is also a good change-of-pace back.

Oakland has a young secondary with a surprise player named Chris Johnson. I’ve heard from many Raiders fans that they are very intrigued by how well he’s played.

Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard are good linebackers whose best years are ahead of them.

Why They WON’T Win

Jamarcus Russel is a very inconsistent quarterback. They signed Jeff Garcia because they don’t have faith in Russel as a star QB.

Oakland has no real star at wide receiver. Yes, they have potential in Johnnie Lee Higgens and Chaz Schilens, but they can’t be trusted as real threats to a defense.

Their offensive line has needs at both tackle spots. Kwame Harris failed miserably, and he was cut due to his crappy-blocking ability.

The Raiders front office is also a cause for concern. Tom Cable hasn’t proven whether he is a good coach or not. Also, the walking dead-man, Al Davis, makes all the wrong draft decisions. Don’t be surprised if Oakland messes up and drafts a linebacker in the first round.

Predicted 2009 record: 6-10

San Diego Chargers

Why They WILL Win

The Chargers have one of the better quarterbacks in the league, his name is Philip Rivers. He made the Pro Bowl last season, his first ever.

San Diego has several good targets that Rivers can throw to. Antonio Gates, when healthy, is one of the best tight end’s in the league.

Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson are good targets. Vincent Jackson needs to stay out of legal trouble if he wants to remain on the team, though.

San Diego’s defense is normally good. They suffered last year when Shawne Merriman went out for the season. When he is on the field, the Chargers have a defense to be reckoned with.

Why They WON’T Win

LaDainian Tomlinson is in his 30s now. Most running backs hit their decline at this age. He should still be a force for defenses, though.

San Diego’s offensive line is inconsistent. They often let up easy sacks that most lines wouldn’t give up. Mike Goff is also no longer on the team.

The Chargers secondary is one of the worst in the league. Antonio Cromartie had a very disappointing season compared to 2007. Clinton Hart was also off his game all year long.

Can Norv Turner actually lead this team? He’s been known as a coach that fails when the game is in the clutch. If the Chargers don’t succeed this year, he will be fired.

Predicted 2009 record: 9-7

Denver Broncos

Why They Will Win

Josh McDaniels is a great offensive-minded coach. He obviously has faith in Kyle Orton to start, because he traded Jay Cutler.

The Broncos have six running backs on the roster. None of them have great starting potential, but they have good potential to be superstars in the future.

Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal are one of the best wide receiver duo’s in the entire league. Both receivers had great seasons last year. I expect Royal to be a 100-catch receiver next year.

They have 10 picks in this year’s draft, including two first round picks at No’s. 12 and 18. Denver has the chance to fix the defense with these early picks.

Why They WON’T Win

Kyle Orton and Chris Simms have had limited starting opportunities. Neither one are near as good as former Bronco Jay Cutler.

Who will start at running back? Denver needs to find that one true starter. Will it be Correll Buckhalter? How about second-year player Ryan Torain? Or will it be a rookie like Knowshon Moreno?

Will the defense actually improve? The Broncos signed Andre’ Goodman, Renaldo Hill, and Brian Dawkins for the secondary.

Denver also signed Andra Davis to start at middle linebacker. The Broncos will have mostly new starters on their defense. How will the chemistry be between them all?

Predicted 2009 record: 9-7

I see Denver winning the division, despite tying with the Chargers. They will be a much  improved team compared to last year.

The defense will be able to stop the opposing running backs from running all over them. The secondary is also going to be able to control the passing game. Champ Bailey hardly ever lets up a catch to the receiver he is covering.

Do you agree or disagree? Feel free to let me know! Thanks!

Seven Round 2009 NFL Mock Draft: Who Will Your Team Take?

I can’t even believe it. The 2009 NFL draft is in less than two weeks.

April is here now, and it’s time for my seven round mock draft.

Please enjoy the picks!

Round One:

1. Detroit Lions- Matthew Stafford, Quarterback, Georgia
After several workouts with the Lions, it seems as though this pick is set-in-stone. Detroit should go the route of drafting a quarterback first and a solid offensive tackle second. Matt Stafford could help the Lions win a few games next year.

2. St. Louis Rams- Jason Smith, Offensive Tackle, Baylor
The Rams released future hall-of-fame offensive tackle, Orlando Pace. Their offensive line is a complete mess. Alex Barron is far too inconsistent to start. Jason Smith is the best offensive tackle in the draft by miles.

3. Kansas City Chiefs- Aaron Curry, Outside Linebacker, Wake Forest
Aaron Curry is one of the best linebacker’s to come out for a long time. Kansas City needs a dominant linebacker next to Mike Vrabel. Curry is my early pick for defensive rookie of the year.

4. Seattle Seahawks- Eugene Monroe, Offensive Tackle, Virginia
The Seahawks got their number one target, T.J. Houshmandzadeh. They still need help on the offensive line. Seattle is intent on straightening up on offense. Eugene Monroe should be a solid fit for the Hawks.

5. Cleveland Browns- Brian Orakpo, Outside Linebacker/Defensive End, Texas
I doubt many Cleveland fans would be disappointed with this pick. The Browns desperately need help in the front seven. Willie McGinest is likely done after this year. Brian Orakpo will be an impact player from the start.

6. Cincinnati Bengals- Andre Smith, Offensive Tackle, Alabama
The Bengals offensive line is amongst the worst in the league. They lost Stacy Andrews to the Eagles. Andre Smith has major character issues that he needs to deal with, but he is still a very good blocker.

7. Oakland Raiders- Michael Crabtree, Wide Receiver, Texas Tech
A month or two ago, I would have said that this would never happen. After the Seahawks and Chiefs filled their needs somewhat for receivers, Crabtree’s stock fell out of the top 5. Oakland will have a play-maker for JaMarcus… Finally!

8. Jacksonville Jaguars- Malcolm Jenkins, Cornerback/Safety, Ohio State
Perhaps not the biggest need for the Jaguars, but Malcolm Jenkins would be a huge addition to their defense. He could play time at both cornerback and safety if they need him to do so.

9. Green Bay Packers- B.J. Raji, Defensive Tackle, Boston College
Towards the end of the season, Green Bay’s run defense was absolutely horrific. Opposing running backs were able to run all over them. B.J. is too good to pass up on even if he did test positive for marijuana.

10. San Francisco 49’ers- Everette Brown, Defensive End, Florida State
I contemplated with going with Mark Sanchez here. He is a real possibility, but the 49’ers may try to get a quarterback later in the draft. Everette Brown is a physical and athletic defensive end.

11. Buffalo Bills- Brandon Pettigrew, Tight End, Oklahoma State
The Bills starting tight end last year was Robert Royal. He is no longer on the team. The Bills could use a tight end that can both block and catch the ball. Pettigrew would fit that need.

12. Denver Broncos- Tyson Jackson, Defensive End, LSU
Josh McDaniels has done a fantastic job at fixing the defense for the Broncos. The one thing that’s missing is a run-stuffing defensive end. Tyson Jackson is near 290 pounds of pure muscle and power.

13. Washington Redskins- Mark Sanchez, Quarterback, USC
The Redskins seem focused on trading away quarterback, Jason Campbell. They were looking to make a deal with the Broncos for Jay Cutler. Mark Sanchez will be able to lead the team from day one.

14. New Orleans Saints- Chris Wells, Running Back, Ohio State
I had a crazy idea that Reggie Bush should convert to wide receiver. Okay, so maybe it’s not all that crazy. Chris Wells would be the big and physical running back that the Saints could use on offense.

15. Houston Texans- Jeremy Maclin, Wide Receiver, Missouri
Andre Johnson is perhaps in the top 3 for receivers in the league. Can you name the Texans other starting receiver? It’s Kevin Walter. Houston needs a dominant No. 2 receiver behind Andre Johnson.

16. San Diego Chargers- Rey Maualuga, Middle Linebacker, USC
With the loss of Shawne Merriman, it was clear that the Chargers defense was only average. They need help at linebacker. Rey Maualuga would be the perfect fit for their scheme.

17. New York Jets- Josh Freeman, Quarterback, Kansas State
I have never thought of Josh Freeman as being a legitimate first-round pick. I have changed my mind though after looking at a few highlight reels of his college career at Kansas State. The Jets need a franchise quarterback right now.

18. Denver Broncos from Chicago- Brian Cushing, Outside Linebacker, USC
The Broncos traded for this pick in a block-buster deal with the Bears. Denver needs a studly outside linebacker across from former pro-bowler, D.J. Williams. Denver has the possibility to have one of the better defenses in the league.

19. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Peria Jerry, Defensive Tackle, Ole Miss
I have had Peria Jerry going to the Bucs for a long time now. My mind has not changed the slightest bit. Tampa Bay needs a defensive tackle that can stuff the run. Anthony McFarland was the closest thing they had to success at this position.

20. Detroit Lions from Dallas Cowboys- Michael Oher, Offensive Tackle, Ole Miss
I, honestly, don’t think the Lions could have plotted out their picks any better than this. Michael Oher seems like a steal this late in the draft. Gosder Cherilus and Michael Oher should make for a good combination.

21. Philadelphia Eagles- Robert Ayers, Defensive End, Tennessee
Head coach, Andy Reid, has selected a defensive end in the first round for four of the last five years. Although their defense is good, they have the potential to make it great if they can get a force on the defensive line.

22. Minnesota Vikings- Hakeem Nicks, Wide Receiver, North Carolina
Bernard Berrian is a decent No. 1 receiver, but Sidney Rice at the second spot is absolutely ridiculous. Hakeem Nicks is a big and physical receiver with terrific hands. He has been compared to Anquan Boldin several times.

23. New England Patriots- Clay Matthews, Outside Linebacker, USC
The Patriots still need to get younger on defense. Clay Matthews is vastly under-rated. He fits the kind of player that Bill Belichick loves to have on his defense. He will make a good tandem with Jerod Mayo.

24. Atlanta Falcons- Evander Hood, Defensive Tackle, Missouri
Is this too early for Evander “Ziggy” Hood? Maybe so. The Falcons don’t have that many needs to fill on offense, therefore they should look for defensive help. Evander might not make a difference right away, but in time he will make an impact.

25. Miami Dolphins- Vontae Davis, Cornerback, Illinois
Miami lost Andre Goodman to the Denver Broncos this off-season. They need to draft a cornerback that can play along with Will Poole. Vontae Davis is a steal this late. He should be a great cornerback for years to come.

26. Baltimore Ravens- Percy Harvin, Wide Receiver, Florida
Derrick Mason at best has only 2-3 years left in the tank. He was the Ravens number one receiver last year. Clearly, Mark Clayton is not prepared to be the star of the offense. Percy Harvin would be a great pick.

27. Indianapolis Colts- Darrius Heyward-Bey, Wide Receiver, Maryland
Marvin Harrison is no longer on the team after his contract expired this season. The Colts need another explosive offensive weapon so that Anthony Gonzalez can remain in the slot.

28. Philadelphia Eagles from Carolina- Knowshon Moreno, Running Back, Georgia
The Eagles need somebody that can take away carries from Brian Westbrook. He has taken a lot of damage to his body. Knowshon Moreno is a quick and tough runner that Philadelphia would covet.

29. New York Giants- Sean Smith, Cornerback/Safety, Utah
As always, the Giants have very few needs to fill. I doubt they draft a receiver in the first round simply because they have invested in Steve Smith and Sinorice Moss. Sean Smith can play at safety or cornerback if need be.

30. Tennessee Titans- Michael Johnson, Outside Linebacker, Georgia Tech
The Titans need help at linebacker. Keith Bulluck is 32 years old, and he can’t carry the defense on his own. Michael Johnson is a 6’7″ specimen that has been compared to Julius Peppers.

31. Arizona Cardinals- Donald Brown, Running Back, Connecticut
Tim Hightower has proven that he can’t be an every-down running back. The Cardinals need a tough runner that can take the majority of the carries. Donald Brown is the perfect fit for Arizona.

32. Pittsburgh Steelers- Alex Mack, Center, California
The Steelers need help on the offensive line. Ben Roethlisberger was on his back on every-other pass play last season. Alex Mack is without a doubt the best center to come out in this year’s draft.

Round Two:

33. Detroit Lions- Connor Barwin, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Cincinnati
The Lions addressed their offensive needs in the first round. Now they must get defensive help. Connor Barwin is a good 4-3 defensive end.

34. New England Patriots from Kansas City- Eben Britton, Offensive Tackle, Arizona
I think going for an offensive tackle here would be a stretch, but the Patriots could use depth on the offensive line. Eben Britton is a steal in the second round.

35. St. Louis Rams- James Laurinaitis, Middle Linebacker, Ohio State
Will Witherspoon will be moving to weakside linebacker this coming season, which leaves the middle linebacker spot, vacant. Laurinaitis can fit the bill.

36. Cleveland Browns- LeSean McCoy, Running Back, Pittsburgh
Jamal Lewis might be the slowest running back in the league right now. Cleveland must start looking towards the future at running back.

37. Seattle Seahawks- William Moore, Safety, Missouri
Brian Russell can’t keep starting at strong safety for much longer. He is a bad starter, plain and simple. William Moore will start right away.

38. Cincinnati Bengals- Paul Kruger, Defensive End, Utah
The Bengals lack a strong pass rush. Paul Kruger is a specialist at rushing for the quarterback. Solid pick here for Cincinnati.

39. Jacksonville Jaguars- Kenny Britt, Wide Receiver, Rutgers
The Jaguars have pathetic receivers. Reggie Williams is the best receiver on the roster. Can you count how many times he’s been arrested? It’ll take two hands.

40. Oakland Raiders- William Beatty, Offensive Tackle, Connecticut
The right tackle spot is something that could use an upgrade. William Beatty might not make it out of the first round, which makes him a steal.

41. Green Bay Packers- Louis Delmas, Safety, Western Michigan
There is no telling what the Packers secondary will like in 2 years. I promise you this… It will be nothing like it looks today.

42. Buffalo Bills- Larry English, Defensive End/Outside Linebacker, Northern Illinois
Aaron Schobel has lost a step in his game. He isn’t able to use the speed he once possessed. Larry English will be a solid replacement for the future.

43. San Francisco 49’ers- Jamon Meredith, Offensive Tackle, South Carolina
Although the 49’ers signed Marvel Smith, they still need a young offensive tackle for the future. Jamon Meredith has climbed up the charts as of late.

44. Miami Dolphins from Redskins- Clint Sintim, Defensive End/Linebacker, Virginia
Joey Porter isn’t exactly a young guy. He only had one sack in his last four games. The Dolphins need another pass rusher besides him.

45. New York Giants- Brian Robiskie, Wide Receiver, Ohio State
The Giants need to draft a receiver that can replace Plaxico Burress. It won’t be an easy job by any means. Brian Robiskie could be the stud of the second round.

46. Houston Texans- Alphonso Smith, Cornerback, Wake Forest
Many of you will see this pick and thing it’s preposterous. Somebody is bound to comment me saying that Alphonso will not go that late. With that said, Houston still needs a No. 2 cornerback.

47. New England Patriots from San Diego- Jarron Gilbert, Defensive End, San Jose State
Richard Seymour’s contract expires after the 2009 season. If the Patriots were to draft Gilbert, they won’t necessarily NEED to resign Seymour.

48. Denver Broncos- Coye Francies, Cornerback, San Jose State
The Broncos secondary will improve by a large margin, but depth is still an issue. Coye Francies will solve that issue.

49. Chicago Bears- Ramses Barden, Wide Receiver, Cal Poly
Does a 6’6″, 230 pound receiver intrigue you, Bears fans? It would if I liked your team in the slighest bit.

50. Cleveland Browns from Tampa Bay- Patrick Chung, Safety, Oregon
Sean Jones left for the Eagles, which left a big need at safety. Patrick Chung should be a solid fill-in for him.

51. Dallas Cowboys- Pat White, Wide Receiver/Quarterback, West Virginia
Jerry Jones is interested in running the “Wildcat” offense in 2009. Pat White is the perfect player for that type of formation.

52. Philadelphia Eagles- Duke Robinson, Offensive Tackle/Guard, Oklahoma
The Eagles need a right guard if Stacy Andrews is going to be moving to left tackle as expected.

53. New York Jets- Juaquin Iglesias, Wide Receiver, Oklahoma
The Jets need a receiver that can replace Laveranues Coles. Juaquin Iglesias should be able to do a fine job of that.

54. Minnesota Vikings- D.J. Moore, Cornerback, Vanderbilt
As a Vikings fan, I would be very excited with this pick. D.J. Moore was a great college player who will hopefully become a great role player on the defense.

55. Atlanta Falcons- Jared Cook, Tight End, South Carolina
The Falcons could use a dynamic play-making tight end. Matt Ryan needs another weapon on offense.

56. Miami Dolphins- Louis Murphy, Wide Receiver, Florida
Miami’s No. 2 receiver is Greg Camarillo who is slightly above average. The Dolphins need a target for Chad Pennington.

57. Baltimore Ravens- Fili Moala, Defensive Tackle/Defensive End, USC
This is just for depth purposes. Baltimore needs back-ups and potential starters for the future.

58. New England Patriots- Ron Brace, Defensive Tackle, Boston College
Even more depth for a defensive line that could really use it. Ron Brace is a very talented player that will play a big role in the Pats defense.

59. Carolina Panthers- Jairus Byrd, Cornerback, Oregon
Ken Lucas was recently cut which leaves a big need at cornerback. Richard Marshall also isn’t playing up to potential.

60. New York Giants- Rashad Jennings, Running Back, Liberty
The Giants need a big running back that will be able to replace Derrick Ward who went to the Buccaneers.

61. Indianapolis Colts- Marcus Freeman, Outside Linebacker, Ohio State
Indianapolis has fairly weak linebackers. They could use some serious depth in the front seven.

62. Tennessee Titans- Lawrence Sidbury, Defensive End, Richmond
Jevon Kearse won’t be around for that much longer. The Titans need to look for some young defensive help.

63. Arizona Cardinals- Eric Wood, Center, Louisville
The interior blocking for the Cardinals is pretty pathetic. They need to get some solid blocking for Donald Brown.

64. Pittsburgh Steelers- Phil Loadholt, Offensive Tackle. Oklahoma
The Steelers need to spend two picks in-a-row on offensive lineman. Believe it or not, Pittsburgh’s offensive line sucks.

65. Detroit Lions- Chris Baker, Defensive Tackle, Hampton
