With The 3rd Pick In The NFL Draft The Buffalo Bills Select

Macel Dareus DT Alabama

Did you watch him on sports science? He threw a man 12 feet in the air. It was amazing. This kid is a big guy up the middle and will help the non existent Buffalo Bills pass rush for years. He's not your average fat DT he can get after QB's great pick.

With The 2nd Pick In the 2011 NFL Draft the Denver Broncos Select.....

DP's Pick:
Nick Fairley DT Auburn

They need to fix their D Line and commit to a defensive scheme and Nick Fairley is the guy who can do this. Many people believe he could have gone 1, so the Broncos will be really happy to get him at 2. He is a guy who can help this year without much seasoning. He weighs 300 pounds and can be a penetrating force on the defensive line. I really like this pick for the Broncos.

BMack's Pick:
Marcell Dareus, DT, Alabama

It's no secret that the Broncos biggest concern is their defensive line. They couldn't stop any running attack, and although I think Fairley has better upside this guy is bigger, and can be the anchor in the middle of their defense. He might not be as good at rushing the QB then Fairley, but from what I am reading his a guy who gives more effort on every play. Fox is going to be changing a lot of things on this team, and I think we have seen time and time again that if you have a great big man in the middle the pass rush can open up for LBs. This is the more safe pick then DP's, but I think it's the right choice.

With The 1st Pick In the 2011 NFL Draft the Carolina Panthers Select.....

DP's Pick:

MARCELL DAREUS DT Alabama

This might be a bit of a homer pick because I love the Tide, but I recently have fallen in love with this kid. He's a big mama jama at 319 and has been really successful in a 3-4 and 4-3 schemes at DT. With his quickness he could also be shifted to DE with a 3-4 scheme. The new trend is the Panthers taking Blaine Gabbert here and I just think that would be dumb because they have to give Jimmy Clausen at least another year (even though I'm not a fan). If worse comes to worse he'll tank it and they pick up Andrew Luck or Matt Barkley.


BMack's Pick:

Blaine Gabbert, QB, Missouri

Let me start by saying that I hate this pick. I agree with DP that Clausen should at least get another year before they just give up on him (and I also agree that I am no longer a believer). Yet, with a new coach the Panthers are going to look for a new "face of the franchise". Sure, this guy isn't a big name, but he will be by the time the draft comes around. ESPN always hypes all these guys, so by then he'll be the "next big thing".

Gabbert has the build of an NFL QB at 6'4" 234 lbs. He is a very accurate QB, although some of his stats don't show it. Scouts point out he didn't have a lot to work with at Missouri. He's got a great arm, and can move around the packet enough to avoid sacks. I'll say I don't like this pick, and if we were just making a list of the best guys in the draft I would probably have him at 5 or 6, but like I said before the Panthers are looking to completely rebuild and a new coach with want "his guy" under center, and that guy will be Blaine Gabbert.
