What shall we do there? Safety and D-Liner can and probably will be addressed in the 4th as thereīs still some decent players around, but what shall we do at RB? Could any of the players still on the board like Bell, Riggs or Washington take over there or do we trust Dayne and Bell?
McAllister is coming off an ACL, but the Saints do have a lot of money tied up at that position now. Braylon Edwards, last yearīs #3, got a 5 year contract worth 40m with an 18.5m $ Signing Bonus .... McAllister got an 8 year deal worth 50m $ with 12.5m guaranteed a year ago. Is this a route worth exploring?
Maybe the Titans will get rid of Travis Henry ...

As we stand with Tatum Bell and Ron Dayne, I like what we have. I'm not thrilled by any means, but the WR corps now has some beef and talent in Walker and the new TE (who sounds like a really nice prospect). I think that the offense has been expanded and Bell could be ripe for a break out season at tailback.

Shanny is very high on Sapp from one of the stories posted. If that is true he may be comfortable with these three going into 2006.

And Cedric Cobbs ... Iīm just a bit unsure as none of them has ever successfully been a starter at this level for a full season. Bell ainīt the answer IMO as a lot of his yardage comes from the 20+ runs he occassionally breaks, but I did like what I saw from Dayne last season.

I expect a little round running back - Bell or Rigg in the 5th.

Talk to Mock, he tells us he super rich so, he'll have no problem putting you on the payroll.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cobbs makes a push for some PT.
Positives: Has excellent overall muscle development

If Scheffer is a starting TE and we get production from our WR our running game will continue unabated. When our passing game is a threat our running game will get a much needed boost. I think we can go to market with Bell, Dayne and Cobb.
My concern is defense. Broncos need to pick best available defensive guys.
The Broncos have 3 picks in the 4th. I don't care what they pick as long it's not stupid reaches or efforts to hire the handicapped mental or otherwise.
Don't forget the after free agents and UDFA after the draft. There should be a pile of solid talent there as well. Apparently nobody made an offer for Lelie or else he would be gone.

You never know. Walker is no sure thing to start the season or learn the playbook entirely. If nothing else this is going to be a very very interesting camp.

RB is the least of my concerns, we need a pass rush specialist and a safety like nobodies business!!

I'm not thrilled with the Broncos RB situation, but I'm very much interested in seeing how Dayne can do, given a ligit chance to start.

I would take a gamble on either Leon Washington or Wali Lundy.

I don't want a RB that's had a knee injury...keep what we've got and draft a couple...hey, we're pretty good at drafting rb's in late rounds...
Besides that...Dayne will be our star this year ;D
Besides...we already picked up a WR with one :(
Not that I don't like Walker...just that I didn't want an injured Walker.

I think so too. I really liked what he did last year when he was in lets hope he can do it fulltime now.
