Donkeys gonna' need some of that Alex Smith stabilization for the QB position in 2018. We tend to do well in the 2nd round, so your horsemaster can pony up a couple of 2nd round picks, and we'll send Alex and his crew of moron fans right on over to ya'! [Reply]

The way I remember it the only way kc was going to get it in against the stand the D made on that drive was a trick play. Everything else that was conventional was stuffed.
So who is going to run that play this year? Your star QB is gone. [Reply]

You do realize that would make up for the 2 2nd round picks San Fran fleeced you guys for?
No one is going give kc 2 2nd round picks for a guy with the cap hit he will have next year.
Dorsey is either going to have to rework his deal if Mahommes doesn't pan out by then or cut him, I don't see anyone trading for a dink and dunker who's high water mark in the last 5 years is one WC win. [Reply]

Enjoy winning your SB though.
I thought Broncos fans knew about depth? :-) [Reply]

You must be thinking of a different game, maybe a Browns game or something. The Chiefs won this game 33-10 and were just having fun in the fourth quarter. [Reply]
The Broncos needed to address their offensive line. They used their first-round pick on tackle Garrett Bolles. They picked up guard Ronald Leary from the Cowboys and tackle Menelik Watson from the Raiders. They also brought in Jeff Davidson from the Chargers to coach the unit. Will it be enough?
"I just have a feeling [Leary] is going to be totally exposed in Denver," an evaluator said. "In the unit with Dallas, you got probably the best center and the best tackle in the league, and that covers him up. You are not going to get that in Denver. Leary also has some knee issues that teams were nervous about."
“I think you are going to get what you pay for: B-level players, and hope your staff can scheme around them.” - An NFL evaluator
The general feeling among insiders was that Denver would remain good enough on defense to compete, but that the offensive line and quarterback situations remained questionable. GM John Elway seems almost as willing to acquire and cut coaches as he's willing to acquire and cut players. He is betting that the Broncos will get more from their existing personnel after their latest coaching shakeup.
"They made interior defensive line moves," an evaluator said. "They are all budget-type moves, not overspending. But I think you are going to get what you pay for: B-level players, and hope your staff can scheme around them."
Bill Kollar's history coaching defensive linemen -- think Malik Jackson, who was a fifth-round pick -- suggests the Broncos have a chance to make that happen.
