We upgraded at QB, both 1st and 2nd string, hell even 3rd.
At RB:
Added 2 impressive Rooks in Freeman and Lindsay.
FB:
Jano is solid and a ST's contributor
OL:
Improved with Bolles, Leary, Paradis, McGovern, Veldheer. They were great in run game and Veldheer takes much improved angles against speed rushers.
TE:
Upgraded with addition of Butt.
WR:
4 Deep, 5 when Sunshine comes off PUP. DT, Sanders (who Elway stole away while he was still at your place! EPIC), Sutton, Hamilton, Patrick looked good too in PS but he is holding a place for Taylor.
D:
OLB:
4 deep, you guys might have 1 if Houston is better than last year. Chubb has a safety already and a half sack with Von.
DE:
Above Average Wolfe, Gotsis, Walker, they are all going to get sacks.
DT:
Peko and Harris were good last year.
ILB:
Love the drafting of Jewell, have a lot of guys focused on tackling for ST's. Marshall is a top ILB, you guys would love to have him.
CB:
Harris - top 5 CB every year
Roby - getting his earned shot to start outside rather than at Nickle.
PacMan - Not a fan of him off the field but good pick up as he filled 2 needs. CB and PR.
Yiadom is young but talented. Good pick.
Improved depth on the back end sure Talib will be missed but no more than you guys will miss Peters.
The guys who PMINT got his FG win with aren't on the team anymore or back to PS.
Safety:
Simmons is playing well as is Stewart
Parks and Craven's will contribute.
Coaching:
Improved the ST's and OL coaches. Both units are so much better than last year. I like Billy at OC, I hope he stays with the run game like they did in the PS. He and VJ said they wanted to run last year but never got an identity on O that will change this year.
Not excited about VJ and Woods but VJ has shown that he is improving in some areas.
Only places I am concerned is if Keenum comes out and struggles to be accurate early and VJ and Woods coaching decisions at big spots in games.
Keenum played well and placed the ball well last year taking his team to the NFC Championship game. If we get that Keenum then we will challenge the Chuggers for the division. If not then we slug it out with you and the Fade for the bottom of the AFC West.
We will know what kind of teams we both have by week 6. Right now I am optimistic about getting back to the playoffs and making some noise.

They don't arrest guys for "flashing" down there? LOL
If you have to count on a rook ILB over a guy you traded for you will be in trouble.
This on a D that lost talent after giving up an 18 point lead into the 3rd quarter in the playoffs. A D that collapsed under the weight of Chase Daniels and his 2nd team O.
What did Chase put up on your 1's? 21 points?
If you only get 10 points out of your O by the half in the RS it is going to be a long year for you guys. Lots of games trying to come back down 17 or 21 late.
