With The 6th Pick In the 2011 NFL Draft the Cleveland Browns Select.....

DP's Pick:
Da'Quan Bowers DE Clemson

This is a steal at 6. Many projected him to be the 1st overall pick and now that they are going to a 4-3 scheme. Bowers is a great fit for that, he has power and quickness and be a perfect slot in there. The Browns have a lot of needs but they need to get that D Line fixed. If I were the Browns it would be very hard not to select Patrick Peterson.

BMack's Pick:
Nick Fairley, DT, Auburn

There was a time when most people thought Fairley would go #1, but there have been so many questions about his motor that he is starting to fall in mock drafts. He will only fall so far, and he shouldn't go past this pick. Bowers would also be a good pick, but I think Fairley has more upside. I have said it before and I'll say it again, if you want to fix a defense it starts with the big guy in the middle, and when Fairley is going 100% there isn't anyone better in the draft. Fairley can stop the run, rush the QB, and teams will have to commit to double teaming him throughout the game. That can open up some pass rushing lanes for DEs and LBs.

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.
