Shaq and Shane's offseason injuries caused Denver to essentially waste DeMarcus Walker's rookie year. Denver's getting a lot of guys back this year that they didn't have last season.

KC is getting back a 2016 first team All-Pro safety, their leading rusher in 2016 (1368 total yards) and a guy who had 10 sacks in 2016.

Now who is Denver getting back? Ray and his 8 sacks, who else? Butt? Henderson? Kelly?

You're right. Getting those guys back plus Keesum is probably good for a couple of wins. Maybe they will win 7 or 8 games this season.

Broncos will be playoff caliber. Will finish 9-7 after losing last game of season to Chiefs in Denver. Will miss playoffs. We've seen that movie before

Technically, they can't get Jake Butt or Kelly "back"... they were never really "there" to begin with... technically.

I'll take that after a 5 win season... baby steps back to double digit wins on a consistent basis.

I don't think very highly of Dee Ford. You can talk about the 10 sacks all you want but I don't see him ever being a consistent double digit sack guy.

Hunt kind of makes Ware redundant. I guess Ware is better in pass protection, but other than that, Hunt does everything else better, IMO.

Berry is Berry. At least, you hope Berry is still Berry.

Denver hasn't seen what Walker, Henderson, and Butt can do yet. It's like they're getting three extra top 100 picks this year.

The Broncos were expecting a huge season from Ray before he got hurt.

Broncos better draft Minkah Fitzpatrick or Denzel Ward. The division winner showed you what they are going to do next year.

Chiefs gonna be doing a lot of 4-5 wide in this “Air Reid” offense next year. With Talib gone and Watkins on the Chiefs, better get more good corners or we’ll burn your 3rd, 4th and 5th DB’s.

Sit in zone. Force Mahomes to dink and dunk. Wait for him to throw you the ball. Repeat.

Kelce would absolutely demolish you if you sit in zone with you're LBs.

I'm more than happy to watch them take Fitz at 5 or move back and take either of these guys.

Kelce and any other badass TE has shown a history for carving up Denver, even at their best a few years ago. I've seen several top TEs have fun vs the Broncos' defense, so yeah... adding Fitz or Ward would be nice.

Same with Kareem. Go ahead and sit in zone. We’ll dump it to Kareem and take 5-7 yard gains every time.

It’s not wise to give a QB with our weapons all day to find someone. Someone will be open.

Chiefs will be a problem to stop... not impossible, but a serious problem no doubt.

Hey, did you guys know that Mahomes is mistake prone? I know this because talking heads compared him to Favre and Cutler.

Losing Talib is huge
