The Broncos interests

[Beemnseven]

Well, after a quick check of the stats at NFL.com, the Broncos were #7 in the AFC, and #14 in the NFL against the run.

Unless they feel they need an upgrade at D-line, I would think they consider themselves OK at that position.

Maybe it's a desperate attempt for Calvin Johnson?

#14 in the NFL against the run is pretty much middle of the road. Mediocre really. The Broncos have to play against LT and Larry Johnson four times a season. Those guys are the two best backs in the league. Gotta be better than average against the run to succeed in the AFC West. Obviously they aren't trying for Petersen. I could gain 1000 yds in their system. I think they're looking for a DL or maybe a guy like LaRon Landry (who definitely won't be there at #21) since John Lynch is just about done. I have a feeling they covet one of the big 3 D-lineman-Branch, Anderson, Adams

Plus with Jay Cutler running the offense, they may need to hang their hat on defense more so than before.

Good point. I forgot about LT and LJ.
