The first player I will name is one everybody has heard of before (mostly because of his off the field issues), and that player is none other than Adam Pacman Jones. As Pacman has aged he has seemed to calm down with the off the field stuff, and even seemed as though to be a leader in the Bengals locker room last year. He brings the ability to return punts, and either cover the slot receiver, or play on the outside. Denver tried to fix the punt return issue last year with drafting Isaiah Mackenzie. Sadly things didn't come together for him, and while he will have another chance this offseason, signing Pacman Jones gives us a solid insurance policy. Jones is at the end of his career, and I think he would just like to find a team that is competitive, and gives him a chance to finish out his career at a high level.
The second free agent I think Denver should look at is wide receiver Brandon Coleman from the New Orleans Saints. The consensus around Denver is DT is starting to show signs of aging, and Denver needs another big body WR that creates match up problems. Brandon Coleman is 25 years old, and 6'6 and 220lbs. He has the athletic ability to get open, and the size that he can do something with the ball after he catches it. Coleman is an exciting player who at 25 can be a player for the Broncos for years to come. Denver still will need a "slot receiver" who can get open in the middle of the field on a regular basis, but to have Emmanuel Sanders in the slot with Brandon Coleman and Demaryius Thomas playing on the outside sounds like a pretty solid plan to me. Coleman is bigger than DT, and if you add him in with Jake Butt it gives Denver a lot of real options in the red zone. It would be difficult for a team to cover Jake Butt at tight end with Brandon Coleman and DT on the outside.
The third player I would like Denver to target is tight end Marcedes Lewis. He is getting a little up there in years, but at 6'6 and still playing between 260lbs and 275lbs with the ability to block, and catch the ball makes him a player worth looking into. He would give Keenum a very large target in the middle of the field, and be able to help out one of our tackles if they end up struggling against a Khalil Mack, or Justin Houston.
Just food for thought, but all of these guys would be solid contributors to the team the first day they got here.
Pacman could definitely finish his career pretty high up here.
ReplyDeleteGotta grab de Chubb at five. Rivers, Carr and that kid in KC command as much pressure possible. It would be cool if they trade back into the latter part of round one and snatch up a monster lineman
I would agree on Chubb. I also would REALLY like it if Buffalo decided to trade us their two 1st rounders and maybe a 2nd or 3rd as well. If we stay at 5 Chubb or Nelson have to be the pick. With the 5th pick we have to get a generational player. We can't gamble on taking the right QB. Especially if 4 QBs are taken and we literally have the choice for any player we want at 5.
