First off, just got a mhr account. Allows followed you guys but finally decided to post here lol. Usually do alot of posting at scout.coms boards. But you guys here are one of the better sites ive seen. So i want to thank you guys for that.

Now on to the broncos, it has been a crazy and long offseason. And now in the midst of mid july, i cant wait for the season to begin.

Now about McDaniels, at first i wasnt fond of his hiring. Wanted a more defensive minded coach, but McDaniels grew on me. Really liked how free agency was going. Brian Dawkins, Andra Davis, Corell Buckhalter, Jabarr Gaffney, Ronnie Fields, Darell Reid, Andre Goodman, Renaldo hiil, ect all filled holes that we needed. One observation i made of this is that McDaniels was doing things the patriot way. Getting older vets who can fill in for a few years and provide leadership, and get young talent to fill in for a few years Then after everything was looking good, the cutler fiasco came. Thought both were to blame for the situation, but really liked the package we got back for him. Orton at first i really didnt know much about him and wasnt to excited about him. But after ive read and seen stuff about him i am exicted about what he can bring to our team.

Now the draft. Alot of people have criticized the broncos about there draft. But i for one, loved it. Moreno was a pick up that we needed. Hes a 3 down back who can do a little bit of everything, and who would take pressure off orton. Ayers is the pass rush guy we needed. I expect him to do well off the edge in pass rush and coverage. The trade for Phonso didnt really bother me at much. we needed another corner to groom and eventually replace Bailey or goodman. Liked the McBath pick up, finally addressing the saftey position. An area were we ignored alot the last few years and paid for it. The TE pick was a bit confusing i thought, but after thinking about it, hes a great blocker, and paired with Graham, they both can really help the run. Which means we might see alot of 3 TE sets where we run the ball or do PA cuz all 3 TE's are capable of catching the ball. The rest of the picks were all needs, and provided depth at positions of need.

Onto the team this year. I think we have a good starting core, if everyone picks up on what there supposed to do. I see the starters playing out like this.
