The 2010 Broncos season is just one draft, three shockingly random trades, and five months away. The once proud residents of Broncoland, who have spent most of this offseason trying to avoid the new ‘all news is bad news’ flavor of the organization, are desperate to know how Denver stacks up against its 2010 competition.
All things being equal, it is difficult to decipher the tendencies of McDaniels and Xanders after their free-wheeling, pick-trading 2009 Draft odyssey. If the stars aligned perfectly, the Broncos could spend the first two picks setting the middle of their defense & offense with Rolando McClain & Maurkice Pouncey respectively.
Rumors have been circulating that the Oakland Raiders have emerged as a front-runner in the suddenly public race for Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. They say they are nowhere close to getting the deal done, and I’m not convinced it will happen, but if it does, it makes for a major shakeup in the AFC West.
The Denver Broncos & Kansas City Chiefs have gone out and gotten solid role players at key positions of weakness. Meanwhile, the San Diego Chargers have hemorrhaged Free Agents at an alarming pace & the Oakland Raiders have ranged from passive to confused.
The Broncos already signed their apparent starting NT in University of Colorado Alum Justin Bannan, formerly of the Ravens & Bills. But that doesn’t mean that Williams would be out of place in Denver.
