The Denver Broncos added high-priced and marquee names in the offseason with the signings of Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware, T.J. Ward and Emmanuel Sanders. What everybody fails to mention are the losses of top players such as Knowshon Moreno, Zane Beadles, Eric Decker, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Wesley Woodyard and Shaun Phillips. Would you make that trade if you were John Elway? No chance. Now factor in that Ware is coming off a season in which he had six sacks in 13 games, his first campaign as a 4-3 defensive end. Dont ignore that Talib has not played more than 13 games in a season since 2009. Also, remember it is almost impossible for Peyton Manning, despite his greatness, to have a repeat or better year than his 2013 showing. The arrow is pointing down in Denver. Kansas City lost some pieces, but mostly spare parts. Outside of Geoff Schwartz, everybody had solid depth behind them or was likely upgraded in the draft (DeAnthony Thomas) or in free agency (Vance Walker). Take it from someone who pours over game film daily, Walker is going to make a massive difference.
