Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

from PFT: The Packers are showing interest in free agent LBs Boss Bailey and Brandon Chillar.
On a side note, what do we do at DT now that there is no talent left in the free agency/trade pool and with a very weak draft (the top two DT's wont fall to us either)
He can either go to the Packers, a team that will fall apart when Favre retires or gets injured...
Or, he can go to the Broncos, who are rebuilding and on the uprise hopefully (Shanahan is an idiot for not getting a DT in FA or through trade). Plus he gets to play with his brother if he signs with Denver.
I think if Denver wants to sign Boss Bailey then we will get him. He could not find his way out of his brother's shadow in Detroit so he might as well play on the same team as him and learn from him (even though they play different positions).
As for DT there is always Trevor Laws in the second.

We get by with lesser players, trade for a cheap vet like we did last year for Kennedy, or we offer Foxworth and our #1 to NE for the #7 pick and take Ellis or Dorsey if they fall. I don't see that happening though so probably one of the first 2. It would be nice if Marcus Thomas is telling the truth too.
Or we can draft a talented rookie that isn't a big name (the top 2) and let him develop, take a crap DT middle (due to it being so young) and just get by as best we can with everyone else.
Fan's need to learn that you don't need to always fill a BIG need with a BIG NAME player such as-Rodgers or Ellis, Dorsey or C.Williams...

Sign Rod Coleman... Draft a DT Day One AND then draft another in th 5th.
Coleman is a possibility...right now I am sure Shanahan is kicking himself for listening to Bates and trading Warren to Oakland, he was not great but he could have started while we groomed someone for the position. In the same breath Denver is supposedly big on McKinley, Thomas and Harris. Right now I think it is very likely that we will draft two defensive tackles, both more traditional nose tackles.
What we do in the first right now is up in the air, if we stay I think we take a playmaker, if we trade down...which is a possibility we probably will try and get someone who is a solid starter, or more capable to be.
It's hard to imagine a rookie DT coming and being a differnece maker, even Dorsey or Ellis. I think a rookie will struggle if that's our plan.
that is generally what happen. Rookie dts rarely make a huge impact as they suddenly have to learn technique stuff they didn't need to in college.. especially high draft picks who are talented because usually in college they merely were more athletic than the people they played.
FO had a study on it in the ESPN Draft mag last year... but I dunno where I put mine... sorry

He has not agreed on a visit yet...He wants to come here FIRST...Before and If he decides to agree on a visit...Hopefully he and the broncs already have their minds made up
Why wouldn't you wanna play w/your BROTHER???I no I would....That doesn't happen every day in the NFL...with a guy named CHAMP and BOSS....look out...those could be the greatest names ever on a d fence
The word on Coleman is that he is deep in contract negotiations with Tampa. The opinion is that he is using other teams for leverage, but he really wants to play in Tampa. i don't see it working. Robertson's trade fell through, but that was because he refuses to take less money. Both of those scenarios seem unlikely for us.
If we build a stout LB core, we can probably get by with the DTs we have plus one rookie of Laws or even Okam ilk. We could also add a guy like Tripplett, but I don't know if he is any better than the guys we have.
