With the 181st (6.2) pick in the LAOJoe & RTTRUTH's 11th Annual Collaborative Mock Draft The Denver Broncos select Benito Jones, DL, Ole Miss
There were some tense moments for Cleveland in the early part of this draft. Safety was a must for me. AxeMurderer threw a wrench in my plan when he snagged Kyle Dugger. I strongly considered him at 2.9, but thought maybe I could get him in the 3rd, and I just couldn't deny my man-crush on Malik Harrison. I believe he's one of the most under-rated players in this draft, and there aren't any other prospects like him..... Anyway, after picking Malik, I just figured I'll be happy with Dugger, Chinn, Winfield or Ashtyn Davis on my next pick at 3.10.. Damn if it didn't get REAL scary. One after another they just kept getting picked. I was sweating it out. lol! Luckily I had picked up 7.1 from Cincy in a move down one spot, and I was able to use that to move from 3.10 to 3.5 and secure Ashtyn Davis, who I really like at FS...Fun times. I almost lost out on all of them.
Good thing for you that at the end of the 2nd we autoed Tim a different safety because his list on the site had him higher.
If you had, I did have my back-up plan, and I would have taken Kenny Robinson Jr. in rd 3 to Cleveland...Arguably, I should have anyway. Time will tell.
The thing about Kenny Robinson is that he wasn't at the combine or any of the college all star games, so he was left off many lists...I think he will go on day 2 for sure, but figured in the mock world he'll be there later. Good for the Bears, and who better to learn from than Eddie Jackson?
I think I gave him to the Bills in the 4th round of the GMO. Highly underrated IMO. The knock on him is he's a bit slow and not as explosive as you'd wish but there are many LBs in the league that fit that bill that do well. There's different types.
On my phone here and no list at hand. It looks like he’s available but I don’t know at this point. Charlie Heck OL North Carolina.
We almost autoed him to the 49ers. IMO last OT prospect, maybe OL, that may not be a complete project.
Sorry TD but I didn't want to be greedy. If Kareem wasn't there at my last pick then there was a good chance I took Michael Ojemudia there. EDIT: I misread that as move up.
