This is the draft that I want to happen for Denver this year.
Round 1
12. Tyson Jackson DE LSU
I think this is the beast we’re looking for in Denver. He would be a perfect 3-4 defensive end and is a good value here.
18. Rey Maualuga ILB USC
Ray Lewis, Junior Seau. Incredible comparisons. I love Polynesian football players! They are warriors! Mario Fatafehi, Ma’a Tanuvasa were some of my favorites. Troy Palamalu is another. I like this guy and I think he would bring fire to a fizzling Bronco defense.
Round 2
48. Jarron Gilbert DT/DE San Jose State
This pick would be great for our 3-4 defense. At 6-foot-5 285, he still has room to grow. Long wing span, which will make him a good end force.
Round 3
79. Jasper Brinkley ILB South Carolina
Freaky run stuffer. Jasper is by far the coolest name for a defensive player.
84. Terrance Taylor DT Michigan
Can hold his ground and stuff the gaps. Will work well as a defensive end in the second rotation with Marcus Thomas.
Round 4
114. Sammy Lee Hill DT Stillman
Big nose tackle prospect. I think he would be great value at this pick.
Round 5
149. Ramses Barden WR Cal Poly
Freaky size. He would be a big red-zone option.
Round 6
185. Hunter Cantwell QB Louisville
Good project player for Mcdoughnut.
Round 7
225. Arian Foster RB Tennessee
Once was a top draft prospect, now he may have something to prove. Good blocker and receiver.
235. Pierre Walters LB Eastern Illinois
Lance Briggs esque size. Could be a freak. Could be a bust.
