Wait til this coming year. B. Marsh is on all the radar screens now. He can run routes, get YAC, and even run a good deep route. He has the potential to Hall o’ Fame material. But if we don’t get someone on the other side he is going to be doubled every down because we have zilch opposite of him. A bunch of average cannon fodder. The slot machine is a great 3 reciever, but we have to get the safeties to fall back on the #2 or B. Marsh and Stokely will be smothered and won’t get that steller YAC yardage they got this year.

blah, i think we should still draft a defensive tackle in the top two rounds, maybe even trade down in the first with dallas if mcfadden is still ava. but he wont be. maybe if he is though jerry would give up his first rounders for our 12th…jus a thought. but we still need help at DT and WR. if everybody on the oline comes back healthy were set there we only allowed like twenty somethin sacks and still had almost 1800 yards rushin, so im not too worried there.. laterz

Why would you pay big bucks to a kid who only weighs 160something and is short. We dont need any wideouts right now. Your saying Martinez is a bumb but you could have said the same about domonique hixon he got cut signed with the giants and was a great returner. We can set up the lanes for good returners. Like i heard someone say we could have devin hester back there but if we cant block we might as well have Sam Adams returning the ball. I think we go after the left tackle from vanderbuilt smart and athletic fits the denver mold of small tackle and draft a dt late. Brandon Marshall was a forth round pick and he turned out to be our franchise WR so we can adress the WR position in later rounds. RB we should draft Deshard Choice he is a smart shify guy who could fit our scheme well and he shouldnt be gone untill the forth or fith round. If need speed you can get that in later rounds. Chad Johnson was a 2nd round pick and so was tory holt we dont need to draft high for a Wr. Glenn martinez by the way is an excellent route runner and has pretty good hands.

The Post is reporting the Broncs have signed Marquand McDaniel. I personally would have preferred McCree, but I’m all for giving him a chance.

This is a league where anyone can be anyone. A Wes Welker can be cut in San Diego to make room for a QB or Derek Anderson can watch himself get cut by the Ravens. Martinez is a good example and Shepherd could be someone else to add his name to that list.

WAbronc,
I agree with you about special teams. When are those boneheads going to run their lanes and learn to block and tackle? The Broncos lost a promising returner/wide receiver (Hixon) because ST made him look bad.

Thorpebroncofan, I totally agree with you on needing a true FB. If we can get the word out to Shannahan I think it is an excellent idea. We need a great run blocker. Maybe someone in the likes of Owen Schmitt? If he is there for us to pick up we better nab him. We could have a very strong running game with this guy like we did in the past when we had a true FB.

Gotta get Owen Schmitt…..

Doom– Maybe it is because I am up in WA that I hopd certain opinions about Alexander. 1) He is on the dowside of his career. 2) He has a habit of lying about the severity of injuries to get back on the field early, which only worsens them. 3) Although he has one of the sickest cuts in football, he goes down on first contact. Every time. That is why they stopped using him on 3rd and short. 4) He is a horrible role model on the field. From what his fellow players have said his practice habits are deplorable, and he has a holyer than thou complex. In fact after he won his award it was not unheard of for him to show up to a full pads practice, more than an hour late, in shorts.

It is also believed that (as said by some former players) that he was a huge point of contention between Holmgren and management. Coach wanted to keep Hutchinson. But “management” could not justify paying a LT (the top LT in the league in fact) when they had a bright shiny runningback.
