Pancake Blocks Mock Draft: Pick No. 18
Steve C. tries to endear himself to Broncos fans more than new GM Brian Xanders
Everyone knows the Broncos were awful on defense last year: 30th in point allowed, 29th in total yards, 26th in sacks, and forced a league low 13 turnovers. Now that Mark Sanchez has been drafted by Michael R. with the first of two Broncos 1st round picks, it's time to begin rebuilding Denver's front seven.
Coach Josh McDaniels and GM Brian Xanders have done little to add to the front seven during free agency and would be disappointed that T. Jackson and R. Maualuga were taken in 2 of the last 3 picks. Brian Cushing seems to fit the mold of a linebacker that Coach McD had in New England. He's smart and can play the Mike Vrabel role, manning both the inside and outside linebacker role while pressuring the opposing quarterback.
So with the 18th pick, the Denver Broncos select Brian Cushing, linebacker from USC.
