So as I previously mentioned, the guys over at Weller and Bryan’s Sports Blog invited me to represent the Denver Broncos in a mock draft. Basically each team had a representative to choose the draft choice. The Mock Draft is still going on, it actually was going to be the first 3 rounds but they extended it to the entire 7 rounds including compensatory picks. Unfortunately due to some personal obligations I cannot go further than the 3rd round but I have to say a big thank you to those guys for including me, I enjoyed it!
Anyhoo, today’s blog is just talking about the first round in terms of who I chose for Denver. I will list the rest of the choices by other teams so you can see who was available at the time of my pick. Tomorrow and the next day I will post rounds 2 and 3.
BJ Raji – DT- Boston College
Eugene Monroe – OT – Virginia
Aaron Curry – LB – Wake Forest
Michael Crabtree – WR- Texas Tech
James Laurinitis – LB – Ohio St.
Jason Smith – OT- Baylor
Jeremy Maclin – WR – Missouri
Malcolm Jenkins – CB – Ohio St.
Aaron Maybin – LB/DE – Penn St.
Everette Brown – DE – Florida St.
Jared Cook – TE – South Carolina
Rey Maualuga – LB – Southern California – Shifting to the 3-4 this year, the Broncos were eying B.J. Raji first. With him going early, the next choice had to be this exciting and talented kid out of USC. The new look defense will need a strong line backing corps and Maualuga more than fits the bill with speed and toughness. An immediate impact player, Denver is thrilled with the opportunity to take him.
Brian Orakpo – DE – Texas
Vontae Davis – CB – Illinois
Clay Matthews – OLB – Southern California
Peria Jerry – DT – Ole Miss
Matt Stafford – QB – Georgia
Brian Cushing – OLB – USC
Hakeem Nicks – WR – North Carolina
Mark Sanchez – QB – Southern California
Michael Oher, OT, Ole Mis
Brandon Pettigrew – TE – Oklahoma St.
Larry English – LB – Northern Illinois
Andre Smith – OT – Alabama
D.J. Moore – CB – Vanderbilt
Darrius Heyward-Bey – WR – Maryland
Knowshon Moreno – RB – Georgia
Chris “Beanie” Wells – RB – Ohio St
Fili Moala – DT – Southern California
Max Unger – C – Oregon
LeSean McCoy – RB – Pittsburgh
Eben Britton – OT – Arizona
