As the Broncos finalize their 53-man roster tomorrow afternoon, they will be culling the waiver wires in hopes of upgrading their tight end position.

Other teams, meanwhile, are hoping the Broncos will have to cut away from some of their incredible depth at receiver and defensive back.

Tight end, particularly one with receiving skills, has surfaced as a recent priority in part because Marquez Branson, who at 6-foot-3, 247 pounds is small by the standards of his position, has developed serious durability issues.

Branson suffered a significant knee injury during the Broncos’ final preseason game Thursday night at Minnesota.

With starting tight-end Daniel Graham missing the past three preseason games with bruised ribs and second-year reserve Richard Quinn limping in and out of practice the past three weeks, the Broncos need tight end reinforcement.

Other teams, meanwhile, are looking in at the Broncos’ defensive backs where as many as 11 could be picked for the final roster _ starters Champ Bailey, Andre’ Goodman, Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill; nickelback Nate Jones; second-year players Darcel McBath, David Bruton and Alphonso Smith; and rookies Perrish Cox, Syd’Quan Thompson and the undrafted Cassius Vaughn.

The Broncos are also so deep at receiver, it appears the best hope for popular veteran Brandon Stokley is coach Josh McDaniels decides to keep seven. The first six _ Jabar Gaffney, Brandon Lloyd, Eddie Royal, Matt Willis, Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas _ are set.

Ravage!!!

We should bring back Chad Mustard. Too bad he's one of Shanny's guys.

Yeah, because Scheffler was the gold standard as far as staying healthy goes...
