So with our new coach chances are good we could be fielding an entirely new team in some respects next year. I posted earlier on who we shoudl keep and let go that being said I will try and write the same pieces i did last year at this time on each position. Our biggest problem since about 1999 is finding solid players be it starters or depth guys we havent been able to field a solid team. To Prime every one here for the draft pieces I am doing I am going to give my reasons for keeping certain players. If you want my reasons why I dont have someone on there then ask away but that is too much to make into one post.

Jay Cutler, QB - Jay is entering his fourth year in the league with probably the chance to emerge as the top quarterback this year. Sure Peyton and Tom will be top guys and you have the otehrs who show up here and there but Jay has the chance to top them all with a Coach who knows that Jay is the man in denver much like Elway was in the past.  Firstfan tried to start some discussion by suggesting we trade Jay. After browsing around many otehr denver sites I have seen others say it and MEAN it! Jay isnt going anywhere thats that!

Denver Running Backs - 5,280 and counting! I would say we had a slight RB injury issue last year. That being said I think we keep only three guys here. Peyton Hillis, Ryan Torain and Andrew Pinnock.Why those three? Pinnock is a Heath Evans type FB who is short yardage and blocking, therefore I believe he stays. Some may argue that Hillis and Torain are the same type of back. I disagree Hillis will bowl them over if he has to and Torain showed me he coudl read the hole but not break the tackle as often as Hillis. As for the rest of this crew, bye-bye! We will probably pick up two more RB's in the draft. Look for a change of pace guy to be one of those picks. I will say this Sproles will not be in Denver next season. I just don't see SD letting him come here!

WR Brandon, Brandon and Eddie? - I dont see a big need other than depth here so we may retain Jackson but I doubt it we will hit young guys for depth.

TE with no Mustard - Scheffler and Graham are pretty much locked up here. I could see us targeting one or two guys here for young depth. Someone has to replace Graham here in a bit as a Blocking beast.

Offensive Line did not offend - Here we are looking for two things depth and replacements! Who replaces Benny Boy? is Ten Tigers the real deal? The Secret Service did Outstanding this year but where is the depth? Are we retaining Erik Pears?

Linebackers - Here it gets scary. I think after all is said and done Larsen, DJ and WW are the only ones left. I think we also add Moss to this list from the DE list and possibly crowder though I see him more as a 3-4 DE truth be told. Doom Coudl end up here as well. Our blitz packages coudl be cool but that many guys flying around I think DJ moves back inside and sits next to WW. this could be our biggest target in the draft!

Defensive Line was OFFENSIVE! - If I had no Cap issues whatsoever Thomas woudl be the only one left besides crowder. I think Crowder and Thomas on the ends could be good now we just need a real NT and some depth!

DB? We had one? WOW - I swear sometimes I couldnt tell if denver had a defensive backfield! Champ Jack and the two Josh's are the only two I would keep. Thats it dump the rest.

This is just me spouting off the handle but hey let me know what you think. Now you know who I want to keep and then what type of players I will be looking for in the position packs!
