Denver Broncos FINAL 7-Round Mock Draft:

April 26, 2012 in Mock Drafts by Steve Shoup

DENVER BRONCOS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT: 

 

1st Round:

25. Denver Broncos- DT Dontari Poe, Memphis:

The Broncos still need help along both of their lines, with defensive tackle being a more primary need. The Broncos tackles played solid this year, but they could use that singular dominant presence in the middle. That is where Poe comes in. He flashes the potential to be an absolute force in the middle, and if he puts it all together figures to be both a top level pass rusher and run stopper.

2nd Round:

57. Denver Broncos-G Kevin Zeitler, Wisconsin

3rd Round:

87. Denver Broncos- RB LaMichael James, Oregon

4th Round:

108. Denver Broncos (via Jets)- CB Omar Bolden, Arizona State

120. Denver Broncos- FS Trenton Robinson, Michigan State

5th Round:

137. Denver Broncos (via St. Louis)- OT Andrew Datko, FSU

160. Denver Broncos- WR Rishard Mathews, Nevada

6th Round:

188. Denver Broncos (via Jets)- DE/DT Brett Roy, Nevada

San Diego Chargers FINAL 7-Round Mock Draft:

April 26, 2012 in Mock Drafts by Steve Shoup

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:

 

1st Round:

18. San Diego Chargers- DT Fletcher Cox, Mississippi State:

The Chargers could go offensive line or corner back here, but they could use some help along their defensive line as well. Cox could be an interesting pass rusher going forward, and would be a nice boost to their defense.

2nd Round:

49. San Diego Chargers- OLB Shea McClellin, Boise State

3rd Round:

78. San Diego Chargers- G Brandon Washington, Miami

4th Round:

110. San Diego Chargers- RB Chris Rainey, Florida

5th Round:

149. San Diego Chargers- DE Derek Wolfe, Cincinnati

6th Round:

183. San Diego Chargers- FB Evan Rodriguez, Temple

Kansas City Chiefs FINAL 7-Round Mock Draft

April 26, 2012 in Mock Drafts by Steve Shoup

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:

1st Round:

11.  Kansas City Chiefs: ILB Luke Kuechly, Boston College:

The Chiefs are probably going to look defense here (though RT is an option), and if so I think going with Kuechly is a smart play. Teaming him with Derrick Johnson makes that defense pretty potent. Trading back could be an option, but it is going to be tough to pass up a talent like Kuechly.

2nd Round:

44. Kansas City Chiefs- NT Alameda Ta’amu, Washington

3rd Round:

74. Kansas City Chiefs- QB Kirk Cousins, Michigan State

4th Round:

107. Kansas City Chiefs- G/T Tony Bergstrom, Utah

5th Round:

146. Kansas City Chiefs- FS Aaron Henry, Wisconsin

6th Round:

182. Kansas City Chiefs- G Joe Looney, Wake Forrest

7th Round:

218. Kansas City Chiefs – CB Mike Harris, FSU

238. Kansas City Chiefs (via New England Patriots) – WR Jordan White, Ohio

Houston Texans FINAL 7-Round NFL Mock Draft:

April 25, 2012 in Mock Drafts by Steve Shoup

HOUSTON TEXANS FINAL 7-ROUND MOCK DRAFT:

 

1st Round:

26. Houston Texans- WR Rueben Randle, LSU:

The Texans should look to give Matt Schaub a welcome back gift with this draft pick. Randle would be a nice complement to Andre Johnson, and would move Kevin Walter to the slot (where he is a better fit). A Randle-Johnson combo could be extremely dangerous, and could be the final cog to their offense. Don’t be surprised if a move up for a tackle after the release of Eric Winston.

2nd Round:

58. Houston Texans-OLB Vinny Curry, Marshall

3rd Round:

76. Texans (via Philly)- G/T Jeff Allen, Illinois

4th Round:

99. Texans (via Philly)- OT Matt McCants, UAB

121. Houston Texans-WR A.J. Jenkins, Illinois

5th Round:

161. Houston Texans- ILB Emmanuel Acho, Texas

6th Round:

195. Houston Texans- T/G Donald Stephenson, Oklahoma

7th Round:

233. Houston Texans – T/G John Cullen, Utah
