    That aside the most important thing to me is that both of these guys are in the fold and that they develop into cornerstones that make Denver contender and hopefully a winner for years to come.
    Um, no.

    Even if they "fail," the maneuvering would still be brilliant, and nothing will take away from that fact alone. It's one thing to maneuver around the board, get who you want, and essentially end up with more than you originally had.

    The players you pick are based on your player/scouting evaluations and grading. Your ability to get them - is something else.

    It's one thing to spot great players - and it's another thing to maneuver around to get them.

    ME I would have taken them without all the maneuvering to get them in the RIGHT spot.

    What is the difference their contract money?

    Seems not so bright IF you think they are the players you want WHY risk lodging them to another team?

    If they turn out to be studs then you are hero IF they do not you are going to be crushed by the mead for taking the risk and moving around like bumper cars.

Why is he deemed worthy enough to be one of the highest paid Broncos reporters in my city? How can he make these judgements?


    I was thinking along the same lines while reading this. How is Klis going to answer with what is supposed to be his opinions if he hasn't watched any film on the guys in the questions.
    Thanks Shake!

    Exactl, the reality is people remember it as terrific maneuvering if they succeed. If they don't there wont to many people saying the was a fine bit maneuvering even though those guys are a bust.

    My hope is that these guys have long and distinguished careers.
