DC NFL Preview: Denver Broncos


2007 Record: 7-9

Key Additions:
Keary Colbert (WR) - FA - Panthers
Boss Bailey (LB) - FA - Lions
Darrell Jackson (WR) - FA - 49ers
Dewayne Robertson (DT) - Trade - Jets
Ryan Clady (T) - Draft - Boise State
Eddie Royal (WR) - Draft - V-Tech

Key Losses:
Javon Walker (WR)- FA - Raiders
Nick Ferguson (CB) - FA - Texans
Jason Elam (K) - FA - Falcons
Travis Henry (RB) - FA - Not Signed
John Lynch (SS) - FA - Not Signed

Offense:
I love Jay Cutler and really think he is something special. They figured out why he was getting worn out (diabetic), so with that under control I expect this to be a breakout year for him. The problem is that he will be without Brandon Marshall for the first three game due to suspension, and lost Travis Henry, because he is nuts. Still, I think they have enough talent at the WR position to get through the first three games. The Broncos always seem to be able to find some kind of running back, so expect Selvin Young or Andre Hall to have a solid year. Ex-Patriot Daniel Graham has found his way on this team, and he is a very good blocker with decent (at best) hands.

Defense:
This defense was horrible last year letting up 336 yards a game (19th in the NFL). The biggest problem is that they couldn't stop the run. This is where the trade for Dewayne Robertson was so very important. He will help stop the run,and if they can control the run, their defensive backfield should have a field day with Champ Bailey and Dre' Bly.

Overall:
I think this is the year the Broncos finally put the pieces together for the first time since the Elway era. Cutler has a cannon for an arm, and this should be his breakout year, and the defense looks like it could be a lot better with the signing of Robertson. I know it is only one players, but with the CBs that they have on their roster, that may be all they need.

Predicted Record: 10-6

Next up will be the Kansas City Chiefs
