April Mock Plan

Good ideas on the trades. First two picks are OK, but not spectacular. Definitely don't think that Bartch will last to the 5th round. Great picks late in Wallace and Hamilton. Definitely don't need two TE's on this draft. Solid overall mock.

Two rookie WRs starting?

Good mock. I'd be pretty happy if things played out that way. Although, I did think edge depth should be more of a priority than interior defensive line.

Don't underestimate the impact Ruggs and Johnson will have on our team. They need to account for Samuel, Ruggs, and Kittle, which further opens the ground game. Johnson is an upgrade to Moseley and Witherspoon, and has the potential to be a top 15 CB in the NFL.

Spot on with Bartch - may be unrealistic to see him last to the 5th, but small school prospects tend to drop. The lack of pro days and face to face meetings with scouts may further push him down teams draft boards.

In the late rounds, it's always a flyer on the selections. We've carried 4 TEs before, and I wouldn't be surprised if Hurd starts on PUP, and we keep both rookie TEs on the active roster. We lost Toilolo and K. Smith, and we didn't really sign anyone for that position group in free agency. I like Dwelley, but he needs competition to justify he's a TE #2. Sullivan is an athletic TE while Woerner is a blocking TE.

I do select Hamilton as the EDGE guy on Day 3. Chances are we also re-sign D. Moore after the draft. We already have Bosa, Armstead, Ford, and Blair at DE. And we got Hyder, Hamilton, potentially D. Moore, and Kongbo - an interesting prospect from the CFL.

One of the concerns I have with the departure of Buckner is our run defense. Thomas, Street, and Taylor are unproven, and Jones is only one piece of the puzzle. I would rate IDL as a higher priority vs. EDGE for that reason.

I don't disagree, but even with Buck, the run D was/has been mediocre.

Broncos don't need a RT - they signed Ja'Wuan James to a 4 year $51 million deal last season. The teams that need a tackle are the Bucs and Dolphins.

If Ruggs is our guy we take him at 13 and don't trade down with a team wanting a WR. I dig Johnson and Hamilton. Bartch won't be there in the 5th. He's gone late day 2 in my opinion.
