Broncos-Lions Swap Will Change Draft Boards

Foster did start in Denver for several years. He's not elite but he is better than serviceable. Why would they take him in the trade if they weren't going to play him? It'd be wasted value. I mean look at it this way.

If they don't think enough of Foster to start him and they already have a decent RB in Jones then they traded a top 10 CB for two role players and a late first rounder. To me they have to think Foster starts for them to make that deal.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Don Banks twice in one day.

I guess Tatum Bell & Kevin Jones make a decent backfield. I just figured with their poor WR draft history and the emergence of Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson wouldn't be their first choice, and Adrian Peterson looks like the next biggest impact player to me.
