Despite bringing in a 36-year-old Peyton Manning to take
over at quarterback, the Broncos' focus in this draft will predominantly be
about getting younger. Age is a particular worry in the middle of the
defensive line, where two prominent members of the rotation (Ty Warren,...more Justin
Bannan) are on the down side of their careers and Warren has missed the last
two seasons due to injuries, so most insiders expect Denver to use its No. 25
overall pick on the best interior tackle that's still standing. Leading rusher
Willis McGahee enjoyed a career renaissance for the reigning AFC West champs
last year, but the 30-year-old has considerable tread on his tires and 2009
first-rounder Knowshon Moreno seems to have fallen out of favor with the
current coaching staff, which makes a running back with fresh legs a potential
priority for the new Manning-led offense. The Broncos, who picked up a second
fourth-round choice in the trade of popular quarterback Tim Tebow to the Jets,

Rex Ryan has held off on the Super Bowl talk this
offseason, maybe because the Jets' bombastic head coach is well aware that his
team requires some fine-tuning in several areas in order to return to top-
shelf status in the AFC. New York intends on reprising the "ground and...more pound"
offensive philosophy that was so successful in Ryan's first two seasons at the
helm, but an upgrade over returning right tackle Wayne Hunter and a big-play
threat to mix in with grinder Shonn Greene at running back are necessary to
make than plan work smoothly. Ryan will also be on the lookout for an every-
down outside linebacker than can pressure the quarterback, with situational
rusher Aaron Maybin the only defender from last year's group with more than
five sacks and veterans Calvin Pace and Bryan Thomas getting a bit long in the
tooth. The back end of the defense is still an issue as well even after the
offseason pickup of strong safety LaRon Landry, as the ex-Redskin has been
injury-prone t
