Broncos are on the clock

The Denver Broncos are up and lord knows they need some help. After going 7-9 the Broncos needed defense and thats where they should start. Coach Shannahan will be looking for a pass rusher or coner in the draft. Made some decent moves in free agency. Will be looking hard at Jay Cutler and how he matures. The AFC west is not a easy division with the Chargers holding on tight and will need some help trying to contain L.Tomlinson and Company. The Raiders are trying to get better :)! and the Chiefs…..well…..the Raiders are trying to get better. 2008 season will be a interesting one for Coach Shannahan and Cutler.

the Broncos select: DE Phillip Merling, Clemson at 6′5, 272lbs this man beast will definately help the Broncos D-Line. He is explosive off the ball and is balanced at pass rushing and stopping the run. He will fit the Broncos system.

key free agents:

John Engelberger (DE) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (two-year contract).
Nate Jackson (TE) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (two-year contract).
John Lynch (S) re-signed (one-year contract).

Keary Colbert (WR) signed/unrestricted free agent.

Ebenezer Ekuban (DE) re-signed/unrestricted free agent.
Niko Koutouvides (LB) signed/unrestricted free agent (three-year contract).

Boss Bailey (LB) signed/unrestricted free agent (five-year contract).
Edell Shepherd (WR) signed/unrestricted free agent.

Marquand Manuel (S) signed/unrestricted free agent (three-year contract).
Marlon McCree (S) signed/unrestricted free agent.

Casey Wiegmann (C) signed/unrestricted free agent (two-year contract).
Cecil Sapp (RB) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract).

Cullen Finnerty (QB) signed/unrestricted free agent.

as you can see Defense is the focus of the Broncos. I don’t expect that to change unless someone comes with a super deal.
