Trade down to #12 in first round

Round 1- Vita Vea, DT, Washington
Round 1- Leighton Vander Esch, ILB, Boise State
Round 2- Frank Ragnow, C/OG, Arkansas

Ragnow appears to be the fastest riser in the draft right now. Many speculate he will end up to the Bengals at #21.. Just how how has he risen?

I'm still not a fan of moving down. At number 5, our odds of getting a special player is much higher, IMO.

I would be ok with it. Not my favorite mock draft but one I would feel like we got possibly 3 starters.

This would be a draft that everyone comes out of there not thrilled but not mad either. Not flashy but potentially solid starters that make your team better for years to come.

Vander Esch scares me. Didn't like, 10 teams completely take him off their boards due to a medical condition?

And what else are we getting in that trade down? I know what the charts say, but I think this is a different situation where we could fleece someone since they would be moving up for a QB that they consider a franchise guy and should be willing to overpay. 12, 22, 53 or 55, and a 1st next year would be nice.

I aint making these based on who I like or want. I am giving scenarios to see how you would act.

We all know you will be pissed no matter who we take. ;)

I missed this, but now that I see it - This is how I would go. - Via and Vander Esch would allow the Broncos to show some QB pressures from the middle - missing since Malik Jaskson left. Via is just a monster - a tireless monster. I think a C/G is needed, but don't know much about Ragnow.

Apparently Vander Esch has been rejected by some teams due to a neck concern.

He is still projected round 1. He was cleared at the combine and all other doctors.

No, but I adored and adore Kuechly.

I do like Vander Esch though. Kuechly is just in another world, IMO.

4 first round picks in total between 2009 and 2010 and Denver was still drafting top 5 in 2011. DT only player of impact.

Take the impact player don't trade back

Most drafts I would agree. The depth of this draft though makes me ok with trading back.
