The Broncos were AFC West division winners, and won a playoff game at home this season. However, they are not at the level to compete for a Super Bowl just yet. While some foolishly think a QB is their biggest need, I believe their main focus needs to be constructing a Super Bowl caliber defense. Some pieces are in place, some pieces must be kept in free agency, and some pieces are just flat out missing. In order for the Broncos to build a defense like the Giants here’s a list of what I think they must do at each position.
Defensive End:
The Broncos have two Unrestricted Free Agents at this position, Jason Hunter and Derrick Harvey. I like Hunter’s game, versatility, and his high motor. The Broncos should be able to keep him around for a good price in 2012. Harvey was a low risk/high reward move the Broncos made in 2011 but it didn’t pay off. Time to move on and look elsewhere.
Through the draft: Give me guys like Quinton Coples (North Carolina) in the first- or Trevor Guyton (California) in the third-round.
Through Free Agency: Matt Roth (Jacksonville) makes a lot of sense because of his relationship with new Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio. The biggest name on the market is Mario Williams (Houston), but that seems a little out of reach for the Broncos.
