Bouncing back in the manner in which they did from a couple of losses early in the year showed the league that the season was going to be unique.  <\/p>\n<p><b>Team Needs:  <\/b><\/p>\n<p>1) Defensive Tackle \u2013 Gabe Watson is rumored to be favored by the Broncos to help Gerard Warren emerge as the probowl caliber player they believe he can be.<\/p>\n<p>2) Quarterback \u2013 With the possibility to throwing their two first round picks into a package deal for Vince and Matt looking slim, you may see Denver wait until the middle of the day to snatch up Brodie Croyle.<\/p>\n<p>3) Wide Receiver \u2013 The lack of depth behind the current crop of starters is a bit alarming for this ball club. The draft possibilities to sure up the ranks could include Santonio Holmes or Chad Jackson in the first round. <\/p>\n<p>4) Safety \u2013 In the second round of the draft Daniel Bullocks and Darnell Bing would compliment the stable of CB\u2019s Denver brought onboard last off-season.<\/p>\n<p>5) Defensive End \u2013 The Broncos may decide to add some youth to their veteran line even after acquiring another former Brown, Kenard Lang.<\/p>\n<p><b>2006 draft picks:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1 \u2013 15th (from Atlanta)<br \/>\n1 \u2013 22nd (from Washington)<br \/>\n2 \u2013 61st<br \/>\n3 \u2013 93rd<br \/>\n4 \u2013 119th (from Washington)<br \/>\n4 \u2013 126th<br \/>\n4 \u2013 130th (Compensatory Selection)<br \/>\n5 \u2013 161st<br \/>\n6 \u2013 198th<\/p>\n<p><b>Free Agency Status:  <\/b><\/p>\n<p>UFA \u2013 Burns, Keith (resigned); Chukwurah, Patrick; Coleman, Marco; Dayne, Ron (re-signed); Leach, Mike (re-signed); Pope, Monsanto; Warren, Gerard (re-signed)<\/p>\n<p>Edit: This blog was archived in May of 2016 from our original articles database.It was originally posted by Christopher Allen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Up next in the team needs features for the draft section are the Denver Broncos.
