yea they are loading up!!!
If Stokley can be healthy maybe he can have a season like he did 2 seasons ago.
Dre Bly is a shutdown corner no NFL team is going to want throw against the Broncos
And Travis Henry is going to return to his running days back in Buffalo. Denver is known for producing good backs! Denver is going to make a strong push in the Playoffs!!!

This post above me is stupid---Lynch is getting old but he is still a defensive playmaker and hasn't said anything about retirement and Bailey RESTRUCTERED his contract so that the Broncos could bring in Bly (doesn't sound like someone who wants more money to me)
To answer your question, yes the Broncos are loading up and in more ways than are making headlines. It started with the coaching staff and they made much needed improvements by signing to Defensive Pass rush specialists. This team could not get pressure on the quarterback under Coyer's bend but don't break system. Now that they will be able to rush the quarterback and collapse the pocket with the addition of huge DT Dan Wilkinson (this is a very underated acquisition as he may be old but his size can still stuff the run) and Dre Bly shutting down the number two receiver opposite Champ expect this team to get alot more batted balls and sacks next year. Also Sam Brandon will be healthy next year along with Nick Ferguson, Brandon was being utilized as a big-nickel type back before he got hurt and his transition from safety was reaping benefits against teams that like to go three wide (he can cover the slot and tight-ends that go wide and also stop the run) They will still address DE needs in the draft and I expect them to take Jarvis Moss of Flor but they may trade with Redskins to get the 6th overall pick and draft Gaines Adams of Clemson. On offense the addition of a proven back in Henry will be HUGE and Mike Bell will still be there to take the pressure off and also he made great strides last year in goal line situations. Stokley will give the Broncos a nice threat that they haven't had in the slot in years. Graham will be a nice blocking TE that could be a down the middle stretch the fiels type threat along with second year man Scheffler who will come into his own. My only concern with this team is at RT with the loss of George Foster and I think they should address that in the second or third rounds
Outlook: Although the Chargers are probably still the team to beat in the AFC WEST the Broncos are right on their heels and SD needs to look out with a completely NEW coaching staff from defensive and offensive coordinators and their head coach. I feel that Den will make serious noise and be back in the Super Bowl if they can address their other two needs in the draft

Broncos are loading up to not only compete against the Chargers but also to go back to the AFC championship game. Stokely will be used as a third down WR which means more weapons for Cutler to use. The Broncos are no longer going to be a one dimesion team. Watch-out for the pass against the Broncos AFC West.

I'm a chargers fan, and I'm worrying big time about the broncos, they are smart in grabbing some big names in the market, unfortunately aj smith (charger's gm) treats free agency like the Plague.

yeah pretty much........ Their defense is superb as usual, the offense is not doing that bad since they signed Stockly but I will always support him as a former member of the Colts, they have a very young and talented quarterback Jay Cutler......
However they need to prepare for
John Lynch's retirement (He's getting old)
Champ Bailey asking for huge money
Developing Jay Cutler (He has the talent to be the next Drew Brees) so the Broncos get a definate offensive playmaker
The kicker position.....

Stokley tore his achilles last season. I seriously doubt he will be the receiver he used to be. You cant possibly keep your speed after such an injury, can you?
He is no better than a # 4 receiver.
