It is a bold move! I'd like to ask a few questions. What is the status and probability of productive return next season by Nalen and Hamilton? What is your general outlook on moves to be made, or efforts to draft for defense, considering Bate's system, and the fit or production/potential of current personel?

Otherwise , the recent fee agent or trade seemed to have poorly succeed as a whole ( exept Champ ) and i think it's the main reason of our struggles this year , it outweigh the draft choices .

There is no doubt he's a good kid, but easily, VERY EASILY, swayed down the wrong path. The one thing he didn't do was take responsibility, partly because he grew up a football god in Youngstown where any sprinkle of sunshine is grasped and held onto. Everything was always taken care of for M.C., so any time there was some kind of trouble he avoided punishment becuse he was a great football player. To be completely honest, when the pick was made I was excited. The thought of Maurice running the ball for the Orange and Blue excited me, and I really believed if any team was equipped to help him it was the Broncos and their history of running back success. The one thing M.C. didn;t have, and there is no real guage or test for it, is heart. Looking forward to the next entry and the continuing education we are all receiving! -TSG http://www.milehighreport.com milehighreport@gmail.com Solid explanation on Clarett, though my being in Ohio probably leaves me a little close to the situation.

He took a redshirt in 2002 because of a hamstring injury, but I still don't see how that shows he wasn't worth the risk? Denver has taken a myriad of players who have been injured and have a long line of issues. I don't see how that exception can be made at that pick, but not for picks for players with injuries who were drafted even higher. Interesting nonetheless. Thanks.

He came to camp too small for the position and was traded straight up for the New Orleans Saints bust, Shawn Knight. Neither made it. Collier was fired for failing to check out the draft recommendation. The travesty was that Dan Reeves passed on Thurman Thomas because of "character" issues and he went to Buffalo in the second round. Ever wonder what Mr. Elway could have done with this Hall of Fame back from the fall of 1988 til whenever? Staggering to think.

After hearing the Kyle Johnson was brought back for a week I remembered that Chad Mustard was signed and released and signed multiple times. How does that work with the NFL? Is there a any type of limits on signing and releases? When you have a year with so many injuries does that change the number? I have a quick question.
