I think the highest priority is finding the heir apparent to manning? Osweiler? Dysert? Somebody else?

I agree about the Decker part. Would like to see them all here until Manning retires. We have the leagues best WR group. So many blast Decker for game 1 but he led the team game 2, game 3 and has chemistry in this offense. His route running is very good but him and DT could work on those hands a little bit. He would be a #1 on many teams.

That's not how I remember it, not that it really matters. You hated McD so much that the DT draft pick was just collateral damage at that time.

I assume you're saying this because Clady is injured?

RB

Everyone knows I have no problem with Moreno, but Denver simply needs more at running back. And that's the only position on the field where going into next year I think Denver could potentially have a problem. Part of that is because I believe Moreno's contract is up, and if he has a decent year, Denver won't be able to afford to keep him, because they have to keep so many other guys.

BTW, I think keeping DRC is a pipe dream. So I guess corner is probably a spot that will need to be addressed, depending on if Bailey can ever bounce back from this injury.

I fully expect the Broncos to cut Bailey and give that $$ to DRC if he is able to play at this level all year. Too difficult to find a tall/fast DB who can cover on an island.

I hated/hate Mcd, but I wasnt so blinded in hate to not have a reason. WR's with broken feet, hands, legs etc should be in the later rounds IMO.

definitely. I think if a team is this close, they need to do all they can to succeed and I don't think Manning is going to get enough protection from who they have at LT.

I agree that they need a better running game.

Except McD was completely right about DT. If a guy can play, so what if he's hurt? Broken bones heal. I wouldn't trade DT for Dez in a million years.

I thought I would be saying Center but after watching Manny (isoing him on a rewatch of the Giants game and Raiders game) he has been much improved and has serious potential as a starting Center in this league.

An actual Pass rushing threat at DE is a definite need. Maybe the guy we drafted who is hurt, can't remember his name, can be that guy. I actually like Ayers more than most but he is what he is and that is a run stuffer not a consistent pass rusher.

OL depth is always a need for everyone.

RDE, O-Line Depth, CB, RB

Resign Woodyard, Decker, DRC and Harris Jr are most important offseason needs, if you don't sign those players you're going backwards.

Free agency would start and end with Everson Griffin or Michael Johnson.

Draft needs would still include DE, along with LG and depth at C, RB and WR.

Team needs = Nothing
