How about we don't gaf until we see wins.

Honestly, I'm a little embarrassed by this. I'd prefer a more moneyball approach to dominance. In a vacuum, and I realize NFL is capped so my moneyball idea isn't so valid, spending a bunch of money and parading that fact comes across as gauche.

I'm a bit late to this party, and I agree and disagree with your take. As much as I hate to admit it, I side with James Merilatt here:

At first glance, the Broncos big spending in free agency makes perfect sense. Because of the trades for Russell Wilson and Sean Payton, Denver only has five draft picks in April, with none in the first two rounds. So if they’re going to patch holes on the roster, writing checks in March is their only viable route.

And the players they’ve signed seem to suggest that’s exactly what they’re doing. Nearly every weak spot has been addressed.

Right tackle? The Broncos signed Mike McGlinchey.

Left guard. Ben Powers is the answer.

Defensive line? Zach Allen will replace Dre’Mont Jones.

Running back? Samaje Perine is a perfect bridge until Javonte Williams returns.

The list goes on and on. Check. Check. Check.
