I'd go with Lacy with Starks in his traditional support role.

Definitely speed. A lot of the picks I've seen this year are earned from biting routes.

At that, it's a beatable team. We just need to keep the foot on the gas because of you let Peyton Manning hang around, he'll get you.

Their Broncos team is #1 in least passing yards given up per game (which is normally reserved for bad teams that get run on a lot), #1 in least about of passing TDs, 4th in INTs, #2 in number of given up passing first downs, 5th in number of 20+ yards given up, and only given up a single 40+ yarder all season (tied with Rams for #1), #1 in sacks, and #3 in QB rating given up (Panthers #1).

Broncos are #3 in yards per run average giving up only 3.6 yards per run and #4 in rushing yardages per game.

Broncos defense as a while are #2 in least given up 3rd down conversions (Seahawks #3),

So a tough defense all the way around... but their strength does seem to be speed, but they're not easy to go power against either.

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Went to a Titans board. One comment there. Not very long. I quote: "LOL" They don't sound overly upset about our aquisition.
