		<description>i didnt hear anything about Buckhalter or Arrington but if so thats good were deeper at that postion..

Brian Dawkins = A+.. not only his playing ability, but i think whats really going to be great about him is his vocal leadership.. we needed a big rah rah guy

Renaldo Hill = B+.. dont quote me on this but wasnt he drafted as a CB then moved, he&#039;ll be a good roamer and make plays on the ball

Jabar Gaffney = B+.. #4 reciever but his returning ability is an instant upgrade combining with Royal

after seeing haynesworths contract and knowing peppers is going to want something close to that i am happy we didnt get albert and hope we dont try pick up peppers.. i love what we&#039;ve done so far in F.A. keep it up</description>

		<description>Well no suprise but Haynesworth is now a Redskin, and Fred taylor is now a Patriot. and The Broncos Haven&#039;t made a move yet. Skin&#039;s just released Springs. I could&#039;nt sleep last night, I just need to see some change.

TIME OF POSSESSION ! ! !

GO BRONCOS ! ! !</description>

		<description>I thought that Hainseworth (sp) should be the one free agent that the Broncos must sign. But, he&#039;s played all 16 games only once since 2003. He is the most dominant DT in all of pro football, but, if he&#039;s there only part time, it&#039;s a major waste of money. We need someone who can be counted on ever play every game. It will be interesting.</description>

		<description>Here is what i think we need to address.

Needs:
DL- Bigger Right End and a Great Tackle
     - We need to move Dumervil to the Left side of the defense to go against the smaller less athletic RT). Against larger LT he seems to disappear.
2 ILB-  Let Woodyard and Moss battle it out. He is athletic enough and has adequate size.
FS/SS- This is by far one of our biggest weakness that everyone has forgotten about.
RB- We need a well rounded/ speed running back
      I think that Hillis is a great power back to wear a Defense down and then we play the speed back
      Another Positive about Hillis are his hands and the flexibility he can provide the offense by lining up wide.
K- I like Prater for the distance he has but unless he develops great mid-range accuracy he wont cut it in the NFL.
Return Specialist other than Eddie Royal( hes to valuable to the offense when everyone is doubling B. Marshall)

Positive:
-I dont think we need any help on the Offense other than the RB and maybe look to become younger at Center
-CB because I think Josh Bell is developing into a solid no 2 and Jack Williams as the nickle. (this might be a need next year, but now we have more immanent issues)

FA:
1. Pick up a good/temporary DT (unless we can get a Great DT at a decent price but i dont see one in the FA)- I don&#039;t think Haynseworth will be suitable (hes too expensive and would cost too much for a team that is rebuilding)

2. Pick up a return specialist

Draft Scenario:

Scenario 1:
One thing about the draft. if a quality starting LB/DE aren&#039;t available. We should trade out of the #12 pick for may be a latter rd 1 and a 2 this year, or a 1 next year and a 2 this year. I don&#039;t think the Malauga/Raji/ or Curry will be available.  I really think Cushing or Laurinaitis (who are both projected as a later rd 1- I like Cushing more- seems to be more hard working and has flown under the radar) will be a great pickup in the mid to late rd 1. Also this year&#039;s LB class is extremely deep.

Scenario 2: Trade out of the 1st round and try to get an early 2nd rd and accumulate draft pick for this year and next. This is because I don&#039;t see anyone who is will fill a great need other than the 2 mentioned above (Cushing or Laurinaitis), and maybe try to pick up LBs in the early 2nd. We have to see how the LBs rank close to the draft.

Scenario 3:
Trade up for Raji! Let not forget that the 3-4 hinges on a stellar nose tackle. I don&#039;t see an other superior nose tackle in the draft. We would probably lose our 2nd round and 3rd round this year. This is why i don&#039;t think this is a good idea.

Let me know what you think?

Thanks,

		<description>broncos14441 i dont like half of the players on the broncos list.
the only two i like is mcfadden and clayton is a maybe.
i want eddie royal to start at the opposite side of marshall, plus clayton&#039;s stats dont impress me.
mcfadden in the other could be a good pick up because he is still young and i bet if he starts every game he could have like up 65 tackles and maybe 4 ints.
im not so sure about buchanon. hes an ok player but without kiffin im not sure how he&#039;ll do plus
i would&#039;nt want mcdaniels to sign maurice morris i dont know y.
i dont know why go after clark haggans when there are two better DE(Canty, Olshansky)</description>
