outsider look on some potential Denver FA targets
Hey im coming to you as a jags fan and bills fan with Denver being my third favorite Team in the league so im by no means a die hard denver fan. But that is not to say i do not wish the best for yal and root for denver as long as you arent playing jacksonville or buffalo.i am curious to see how denvers season shapes up next year and that starts with free agency. I was wondering how things were shaping up as far as free agency?
These are some names for free agency i looked at and thought could be good fits for denver and i was wondering what some hardcore denver fans thought of this? feed back is always welcomed and sorry if these names have already been floated around and am just stating the obvious
Jason Jones-DT Tennessee
Bio-6'5 276 age 25
Last year stats-34 pressures from DT position, best in the league
Breakdown-had a bad year this year playing DE and doesnt look like hes going to resign with tennessee(thank god) considering he is better suited at DT. He is one of the Best pass rushing DT in the league leading the league in pressures for DT in 2010 with 34. From first hand experience watching two games a year of this guy, he is a beast and can really change the game and he isnt a huge liability in the run game. With Bunkley on the other side stuffing the run i think the combo of Jones, Miller, and Dumervil would be unblockable for many teams on passing downs. He IMO would sure up the DT position for the broncos at least for next year and he wont be a huge cost.
Ben Grubbs-OG Baltimore
Bio-6'3 310 age 27
This year stats-4 sacks and 6 pressures allowed in 10 games
Breakdown-probably most everybody on this site knows atleast a little about Ben Grubbs so i wont spend a lot of time talking about him. Denvers interior line play could use some upgrading after last season and Grubbs could be a reasonably priced guy(in comparison to Carl Nicks) that could do that. He is a solid pass blocker and a road grading run blocker with a wide body and some good power. He would fit right in with Denvers run game. Hes also coming off of turf toe which is worth noting. There are reports the ravens aren't optimistic that he will be resigned, so he could be a good player to watch if the Broncos are looking to address interior line this offseason.
Martellus Bennett-TE Dallas
Bio-6'6 272 age 24
This year stats-nothing special
Breakdown-this is the guy I'm the most iffy on out of this list. He isn't hugely productive but he has every physical attribute you look for in a TE. He is big great blocker and a good receiver. The reason i put him on this list is due to the fact he has been behind Witten his entire career and that might have been impeding his development. He should be alot better than he is and in the right system he could explode into a very productive young tight end. COULD is the key word there though. He would come extremely cheap and i have a gut feeling he could be a good outlet for tebow but he is like i said, he has the most bust potential out of this list. Even though he'll sign for about tree fitty.

Jones would be a nice addition. Fox likes veteran DTs, so it would make sense.

depends on how many cheeseburgers they can pack away
afterall, he got rid of a DT who went to SL to start. Dude could only put away about 3 cheeseburgers vs Fox’s DT’s who usually put away 7-8.

To replace whom? Draft a g/c player
Kreese and Lawrence will decide if Tim Tebow can develop into our future.

To replace Zane Beadles
And kick him to our 6th OLineman
This signature was sacked by Von Miller.

I liked Jones a lot but I've heard that Tennessee is really trying to re-sign him and I imagine they will.
He’s lighter than I want in a DT but I’d love to have him.
I don’t really like Bennett that much but I am intrigued by his size. The Cowboys had really high expectations for him coming out of college and for whatever reason he didn’t live up to them. I think he could still develop into a nice TE. I’d love to drop Rosario and have Fells and Bennett start while Green and Thomas continue to develop.
I think Grubbs would be a great fit but don’t see us targeting him. I think the FO likes our young O-line and unless they think Beadles isn’t a good option then I think we only draft depth later on.
Tim Tebow wears 3WM and drinks Tuscan whole milk.
I agree with BroncoMath101.
Again.

if tennessee resigns him its a shame
hes not suited to be a DE and would fetch a good price as a pass rushing DT i think him in that front 7 would make that defense harder to gameplan on

Jason Jones is John Fox’s kind of DT and he will come cheaper because of his unproductive 2011 season as a DE but converted back to DT he will cause RB to falter
Ben Grubbs is a top 5 guard in the nfl and will be expensive. John Fox is not known to spend lots of money in Free Agency but he should make an exception here because zane beadles is struggeling and Orlando Franklin and Ryan Clady might be switching sides of the line to give Tim Tebow more protection.
So with that said, I agree with you on two out of three of your picks. At TE I would rather see Joel Dreeson even though he is 30 years old.
Jason Jones need to have a Bronco Jersey on!
We need pass rush up the middle on 3rd downs! We need to develop a D-line like the Giants!

NO way does Ryan and Orlando switch. Period.
Kreese and Lawrence will decide if Tim Tebow can develop into our future.

I just wonder if Jones would be an upgrade over Ayers? Oh, wait a minute...You said pressures, ah.

thanks for all the feedback guys
i wish you all well in the offseason and hope you pickup some players in free agency(maybe some listed above) to bolster your roster, IMO you are only a couple players away from being annual playoff contenders. thanks and good luck!

oh and good luck with JDR
not the best head coach, lazy and bipolar, but could be a very solid D coordinator
