Does Klis know much....

Sometimes, I love his stuff, but if this is our hit list of FA’s I hope we dont get many of them. SUrely we are targeting better players than third tier has beens.
This is a horrid list of players and I hope Klis is totally wrong.

Those that cant coach, compete!
Failing to plan is planning to fail.

What I took away from Klis's article

is that the Broncos are looking for bargains while the agents are looking to cash in. That tells me the Broncos are probably only looking for stop-gap players while they develop draft picks. Probably no big name, game changing players this year. We’ll see after Thursday.

I heard Maualuga injured his hamstring...

…early on in the combine. Does any one know if this is true and how serious it might be? How will that affect his position in the draft?

If this be Hell, let us make the most of it!

It sounds like a standard pull

and it shoudln’t hurt his draft stock. he will probably be 100% for his USC proday. If it lingers it could be a sign of an as yet unseen tendency in Maualuga to be a slow healer or soemthing, but likely this will all be old news by the time the draft rolls around. He will still be in demand and a high pick.

Concision in style, precision in thought, decision in life.
