Broncos expect more up and down moments in rebuild stage

GM Chris Collett was hired to bring home championships, and the Broncos were far from it when he took over at the end of last season.  It appears his bold offseason strategy is starting to show promise. He came in after negotiations failed with Denver's young stud QB drew lock, and as a result he chose to tag him. This allowed Chris to le the draft come to him. The dynamic QB Russ Lovell fell to him, and he didn't hesitate regardless of the franchise tag he just dolled out on Lock. Then, with the season looming, he traded away Lock. This was a brutal hit against Denver's cap; however, it was a message to the mile high city: "We've got a plan." 

After the loss to the mighty bears the plan seems to be unfolding. There wasn't a magic bullet to get Denver into the highest echelon of teams, but the rebuild shows the promise of going you and developing guys that can be real difference makers. There are some ups and downs. Some great plays and a real bone-headed, game-ending pick-6..... but everything is moving forward. 

Denver will be a sold team, a real contender.... in 2-3 seasons. The O-line is still a mess of older free agents, they need a difference maker in the secondary, and one more offensive weapon that can challenge the middle of the field (either a power back or TE). All in all, things are moving in the right direction.
