What is the Broncos focus at QB? Are they getting Kirk Cousins?
It is obvious that the Broncos are going to make a run at Kirk Cousins. He is their #1 choice for their next QB. The problem is that Denver probably won't be able to give him the money that teams like the Jets, Browns, or even the Vikings can give him. So, Cousins has to decide about taking more money from two perennial losing franchises (Browns and Jets), taking less to go to a better organization, tradition of winning, and a team that is a QB away from getting back into the playoff mix (Denver), or taking a little less to take a very good team over the top (Vikings). I think Denver has about as good as a shot as any of those teams to get Cousins, and many people think they are the favorites, but I have a feeling they will fall short and have to settle for Plan B at QB.
So what the hell is Plan B if we don't get Cousins?
I can see a scenario where Cousins goes to Minnesota, and the Broncos settle for Case Keenum and they select a QB with the #5 pick overall. I could also see Tyrod Taylor coming to Denver and they also select a QB with the #5 pick.
What is the fate of Emmanuel Sanders, Aqib Talib, and C.J. Anderson?
I think all three are on the trading block, but I think I could see Sanders returning-especially if they land Cousins. I think Talib could be a restructure situation, but I have a feeling he is going to get traded or released. I think there is no doubt that Anderson will be let go, and the Broncos will look into free agency or the draft for another RB.

Who should get extended before free agency gets going?
The number one move I would make is to lock up Shaq Barrett to an extension and keep him her for a long time. I know he is a restricted free agent, but I wouldn't take the chance. I would get Barrett locked up as soon as they can.

Do you think the Broncos will make a move and trade up in the draft before free agency?
It is too early to tell. You have to wait to the combine to see what will happen, but if the Broncos get a sense that they can't get Cousins and they need to go get either Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, or Baker Mayfield, they might try to see if the Giants or Colts would trade down to #5 and see if they can get into the top 3.
Lastly, how accurate were your 2017 NFL predictions?
Back in August, I made my predictions for the season. I had Denver going 7-9 and they ended up worse at 5-11. In the AFC, I correctly predicted New England, Pittsburgh, and Tennessee to make the playoffs. I had Baltimore, Cincy, and Oakland as the other three teams, and I would have had Baltimore had they not blown that game at home to Cincy in Week 17. In the NFC, I correctly predicted Philly, Carolina, and Minnesota. I missed on Green Bay (Aaron Rodgers breaking his collarbone didn't help), Tampa Bay (Severely underachieved), and Seattle (No one saw that coming). In total, I had 6 out of the 12 teams in the playoffs with my predictions. I did have Minnesota in the NFC Championship Game, and I did pick New England to make the Super Bowl and lose, but that really isn't going out on a limb.
