<![CDATA[Enough drama let's go shopping.]]>To be at least competitive you need to work on one side of the ball. It gains identity. I say bolster a defense you got $$$ yo.

Now a lot of your top tier free agents get the franchise tag so be realistic.

Here's my choices

JPP. Giants. DE. He can still play at a high level.

Malik Jackson DT Denver. Would fit perfect.

Bruce Irvin Seattle. Great player.

I don't know. The running game and OL were pretty bad.

No...

I have low expectations regarding free agency. I think we'll take a shot at a few "mid grade" people...

Mid-grade FA's ought to be right in analytics' wheelhouse.

I think we'll take a shot at a few "mid grade" people, but we're not going to go all out for any of the big tag names. Not our style, and probably not very smart. The names the poster suggested are pretty interesting, and worth considering. Pass rushers are always at a premium, and if we can get one for a decent price, it'd be huge.

I've seen drafts picks where Bosa is the number 2 pick overall and Elliot is the number 15 overall. So I guess what I'm saying is picking Elliot is not very likely.

Why is nothing ever interpreted middling? Everything is not one extreme of the other...

"Not opening up the checkbook" in FA and "building thru the draft" do not mean "no FA's".

They mean FA signings will be strategic... and with DePodesta on-board we may well do a lot of FA bargain hunting.

However, splash signings like JPP or Irvin will be rare to non-existent... at least initially. Someday we will hopefully need a final piece, but that's a ways off... even if all goes well.

Excellent point my dear Watson.

Interested? Sure...but I don't think there's any way he leaves Denver. He's been sitting behind Manning for like 3 years and he's played well enough in his starts this year for them to keep him around knowing Manning is over done at this point.

Yep, I've posted that elsewhere. But it will be hard to get him away from Elway/Kubiak.

You bring in FA's when you're trying to fill in a few pieces. We bring in a high priced FA right now what's he gonna do except languish? we might only win one game next year, and that's ssaying something seeing as our schedule looks soft.
