Today... I am attempting to put together my first, and likely only full 32 position mock draft... and while I feel as I can make coherent arguments for my first 11 selections... everything falls apart when I get to Denver at #12.
Here is a team with a massive hole at QB, but which is in complete rebuild mode AND lacks a 2nd round selection with which to credibly move up in the draft.
So... I think that #12 is the inflection point in this year's draft. Unless Denver is really willing to take Penix, or more likely Nix in this spot (which I think is unlikely)... this is the spot that should be available.
This is the spot that determines which position where we are most apt to see a run. Verse, Latu, Arnold, Murphy, Latham... I've got all of them on the board at this point... and I believe that the player that falls here is the player who destroys 99% of our mock drafts.
