It’s been awhile since we opened up the polls to something beside BT Profile Approval ratings, so with the first set of OTA’s behind us, let’s talk the Denver Broncos offseason.
I recently appeared as a guest on All Purpose Roto‘s podcast to talk Broncos, and took inventory of Denver’s offseason to prepare for the chat (that interview will air during their live show Monday; we’ll drop a link on Twitter and the subsequent Daily Links). Anyway, jotting down the results of the Broncos offseason got me wondering: we all know everyone’s favorite offseason move the Broncos made this offseason was signing Peyton Freaking Manning… what was your second favorite move?
Let’s break down the choices and dish it out in the poll and comments.

Broncos expect Ronnie Hillman to make an immediate contribution
According to the Denver Post, the Denver Broncos are very impressed with Ronnie Hillman early in OTAs. They made him their #2 running back even before OTAs and he has impressed throughout, especially as a pass catcher. They used a 3rd round pick him and now they expect him to make an immediate contribution. His role should start out as a change of pace back behind Willis McGahee...

Knowshon Moreno Odd Man Out in Broncos Backfield?
The Denver Broncos are undoubtedly going to throw the ball far more often – and with much greater success – in 2012 with Peyton Manning at quarterback than they did with Tim Tebow in 2011. That much is certain.
But while that may sound like good news strictly for players such as Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker, it is also music to the ears of the running backs, who now do not...
Thomas, Decker building rapport with Manning
Peyton Manning's two biggest targets are a pair of promising young receivers who have already made their mark in the NFL despite spending lots of time on the sideline.
Neither Demaryius Thomas nor Eric Decker has put together a complete season in the NFL - or, for that matter, a full offseason. Both missed much of the lead-up to their rookie year in 2010 with foot injuries....
Dumervil, Miller watch weight to better chase QBs
(Eds: Adds details, quotes. With AP Photos.) By PAT GRAHAM AP Sports Writer Pass rushers Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller are carefully counting calories in their hunger to chase down quarterbacks.

In contrast, his sack partner for the Denver Broncos...

On Friday, Lindsey Jones of the Denver Post made an appearance on ESPN’s NFL32 and indicated that Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno is ”fighting for a roster spot” this offseason, per Rotoworld.com.

Dispelling Silly Notions Regarding the 2012 Indianapolis Colts
At this point, it is no secret to anyone that the 2011 season sparked the catalyst for a total team overhaul in Indianapolis. One of the most consistent franchises over the period of a decade lost major names on the field, on the sidelines, and in the front office.
