One of the notable bombshells from the NFL Combine was that while John Elway would pick up Todd Davis’ option, the plan is to upgrade the linebacker corps.
For many in Broncos’ Country this was a relief. Davis has been oft criticized for his slow feet and blamed for any and all issues the defense has had with tight ends over the last three seasons. While I do not believe this to be true, his athletic limitations do force some scheme adjustments that Fangio probably would like to solve in the near future.
