Denver will be a much better team next year, especially on offense. I have no idea how Denver was able to win as many games as they did with Ryan Harris at LT and Michael Schofield at RT. Russell Okung and Donald Stephenson will be massive upgrades. Getting Michael Schofield off the field alone is worth two extra wins... He's that bad.
Malik and Danny were our 5th and 9th best players on defense last year. Simmons will be a huge get for us because we didn't have a true FS last year, Stewart, Ward, and Bruton were all strong safeties. Nelson most likely won't be the guy replacing Danny, Todd Davis will. We actually have three really good options to fill in for Danny with Todd Davis, Corey Nelson, and Zaire Anderson. [Reply]

Next year will be the year to get our QB. I just hope there's a good class.
Not true.
If he were on the board when we were on the clock, we would've passed and traded he Cowboys for a 3rd. [Reply]
Congratulations on getting a Brokedick LT that got Russell Wilson killed and upgrading over Michael Schofield by bringing in our Michael Schofield :-)
The Chiefs play Denver later in the season, so Houston will have been back and been through some extensive game action to get back in the groove.
The Chiefs murdered Denver's OL last year and forced them to use 7 blockers. Add Chris Jones to that and it's going to get even worse for you Knowmo. [Reply]

You should be. The only question is have the Chargers passed you as well??? It's KC and the Faid for the West. [Reply]

Something isn't adding up here.
His agent was the one spreading that BS....it's what they do. If he can coax some sucker to move up due to fabricated interest...he makes more cash. He almost got Jones to bite...but found that sucker in Elway. Dorsey is smart enough to read the tea leaves... and knew Denver wanted Lynch. Nothing like costing your rival a pick in a deep class....nice work.
Lynch was a late 2nd/early 3rd project QB in a sane world...KC drafts smart QBs... Murray & Hogan. The only reason Bray in on the team is KC picked him up for free. Dumb QB's wont work in Reid's system...Kubiak's maybe. [Reply]

Again, totally different eras.
Lynch has never even played under center in a pro style offense. His learning process is much larger than McNabb, Marino, or any of those other guys coming out of college. That Auburn defense is the closest thing he's ever seen to an NFL defense and he struggled throwing the ball in smaller windows.
Also, what QB's has Gary Kubiak developed? He's not Andy Reid in that department. That's for sure. [Reply]

Justin Simmons was a guy I really liked as well as Booker, so they got better there.
Their OL is still garbage that's going to get raped by the Chiefs and Raiders, maybe even the Chargers now that they have Bosa.
Their defense will take a step back IMO. Malik Jackson was an elite interior pass rusher with good run stuffing ability, which ironically who I compared Chris Jones to.
Corey Nelson is not Danny Trevathan, their best pass defending ILB last year. Ware is just as much of a question mark as Tamba. He's 34 and has had injury problems in Denver causing him to miss time in 2/3 years. So Ray and Barrett need to take over, and Barrett did nothing against us.
I honestly think that if you double Von, their pass rush rush drops a lot.
Denver is an 8-8 team to me.
Interesting. What do you predict the Chief's record will be? [Reply]
