I think with Jim Mora Jr taking his name out of the defensive coordinator, that leaves Mike Trgovac as the leading candidate for the Denver job. Trgovac's defenses have been top 10 on average. He has spent the last two years learning the ins and outs of the 3-4 defense under Dom Capers, and has been instrumental in the development of BJ Raji.
With the uncertainty of the CBA, don't expect an active free agency. I think we will go for a few under the radar free agents, Most notable; DE Cullen Jenkins, Jenkins is a terrific pass rusher at the 5 technique position and follows Trgovac to Denver. The Packers have a good rotation and may be willing to let Jenkins walk. Next on the list is CB Champ Bailey, Bailey is a Tebow believer and buys in to John Fox's system. The last high profile signing will be TE Jeff King, King is a good blocker who can help Tebow grow as a passer.

OL Daryn Colledge
FB Korey Hall
In the draft I think Fairley will go number 1 overall, this leaves us with Patrick Peterson, AJ Green, and DaQuan Bowers. I think by this time in the year a CBA will be done with a rookie wage scale in place making it significantly easier to trade up and down.
#2 overall pick to to Tennessee for #7 overall pick, 2nd round pick, and a 2012 second.
2012 second (from Tennessee) and 2012 fourth round pick for a 2011 second round pick.
1st round: DE Marcell Dareus, Bama
Dareus is a blue chip, hardworking defensive end who has experience in the 3-4 system under Nick Saban's teaching. Dareus has shown the ability of dominating the point of attack and is a great run stuffer. Dareus had a down year in 2010, but alot of talent around him left for the draft last year.
2nd round A: RB Mikel LeShoure, Illini
LeShoure is big back who can compliment Knowshon is the running game. John Fox's offenses have often feature two capable runningbacks, and LeShoure fits the Jonathon Stewert/Stephen Davis mold and is a good powerback.
2nd round B: SS Kenny Tate, Maryland
Tate is a play maker plain and simple. He reminds me alot of Arizona Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson. He will be a key player on special teams until he cracks the starting lineup.
2nd round C: CB Davon House, New Mexico State
House is one of the most talented corners in the draft, but plays for a small school. Their are questions of how he can play against bigger receivers, but he is a very polished player who was rarely tested this year.
2nd round D: NT Jerrell Powe, Ole Miss
Powe is project for Trgovac to model into the next BJ Raji or Vince Wilfork.
3rd round A: ILB Kelvin Sheppard, LSU
Sheppard is currently the third or fourth best inside backer in the draft. He is an emotional leader and will take DJ's spot down the line.
3rd round B: OLB Jabaal Sheard, Pittsburg
Sheard was overshadowed by Greg Romeus before this season, but really stepped up big after Romeus's injury. Sheard excels as a pass rusher and will spell Robert Ayers on passing downs.
6th Round: TE Andre Smith, Virginia Tech
Smith is not a house hold name. In fact, I'm sure most don't know who Smith is. Smith has a large frame at 6'5 272, and is a mobile blocker. He may not have Schuyler Oordt's athleticism, but is a good threat in the red zone and had 5 touchdowns this season in VT's run first offense.
7th round: OL Kevin Kowalski, Toledo
Kowalski is an experienced lineman and has played guard and center. He has some athleticism and can be a solid backup in our transition back to zone blocking.

TE Jeff King, Richard Quinn, Andre Smith
LT Ryan Clady
LG Zane Beadles, Kevin Kowalski
C JD Walton, Eric Olsen
RG Chris Kuper, Daryn Colledge
RT Jermon Bushrod, Zane Beadles
On offense, we have Tebow being protected by Jermon Bushrod who may be let loose if the saints resign Carl Nicks. Knowshon Moreno and Mikel LeShoure will benefit from a solid zone blocking line, and Ryan Clady will return to elite form. Jeff King should be a good check down option.

WRB Elvis Dumervil, Wayne Daniels
LCB Champ Bailey, Davon House
RCB Perrish Cox, SydQuan Thompson
NB SydQuan Thompson
FS Darcell McBath, Reynaldo Hill, SydQuan Thompson
SS Kenny Tate, David Bruton
The defense will be better with depth, and Doom back. This will be a team focused on creating pressure from the defensive line and linebackers. The secondary will take advantage, and Darcell McGlass will get start if healthy. Don't expect big things from Powe this year, but Powe will be a solid nose tackle if given time to develop. The depth chart may be misleading, but their will be a heavy rotation on the defensive line and linebackers. Marcell Dareus will play about 60% of the snaps subbing in on either side.
K Matt Prater
P Britton Colquitt
KR Cassius Vaughn, Eddie Royal
PR Eddie Royal
With a more traditional offense Eddie will be a full time return man and will split reps with Cassius Vaughn on kick offs. Prater and Colquitt will be a solid combo.
