Denver Broncos Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor: Nick Korte, mvn.com/nfl-broncos

Team Needs: DT, OT, S, K, P

Key additions: LB Boss Bailey, LB Niko Koutouvides, WR Keary Colbert, S Marlon McCree, S Marquand Manuel

Key Losses: K Jason Elam, WR Javon Walker, LB Ian Gold, OG/OC Chris Myers, S Nick Ferguson

Key Free Agents Retained: FB Cecil Sapp, DE Ebenezer Ekuban

Free Agency Notes: After making big splashes in free agency in 2007 with the likes of Daniel Graham and Travis Henry, the Broncos have tightened the purse strings in 2008 and pursued players that they hope can have as much of an impact with greater relief on the budget. This is especially true at linebacker, where the signings of Koutouvides and the younger brother of Champ Bailey will be a frugal attempt to return the middle of the defense near to standards set by names such as Wilson, Mobley, or Romanowski. Colbert should be a good compliment to Brandon Stokley as a secondary receiver to Brandon Marshall's hopeful ascent to elite status, while the safety position was stopgapped for one more year with the arrivals of McCree and Manuel.

Grade: B+

Review of Grade: Given the new spending habits of the Broncos, they have made good strides in what resources they have limited themselves to using. They have also positioned themselves for proper usage of draft picks--tackles on the first day, both offensive and defensive; and a mission to greatly improve special teams, highlighted by the loss of the great Jason Elam.

Post your Broncos draft conjecture here:

Newest rumor has the Broncos using the No. 12 pick on Vanderbilt offensive tackle Chris Williams. He would be the Broncos’ second choice behind Boise State tackle Ryan Clady, who will instead go to Kansas City at No. 5. Just rumor, of course. One of thousands. But for purposes of bragging rights, make your draft-day predictions [...]

The next Terrell Davis/Mike Anderson/Olandis Gary/Selvin Young etc etc

The Broncos, as we well know, have a history of successfully unearthing quality running backs in the late rounds of the draft. Terrell Davis was drafted in the sixth round (196th overall). Mike Anderson also went in the sixth round (189th). Olandis Gary was a fourth-rounder (120th). And Selvin Young never was picked in the draft. [...]

Woody on Wilson: Why not AL as backup LB?

One of the first sets of business the Broncos took on this offseason was filling linebacker spots. But it seemed like they looked everywhere for LBs except toward Al Wilson. Wouldn’t he be a fine backup at LB? Woody Paige addresses this question directly in his mailbag today.
