The Broncos had a gaping hole at RT after moving Orlando Franklin to guard. Manning is not a moving target so it was killing the Broncos for a few games. If they draft a RT early, that would be smart but isn't their glaringest need.

Help at LB is needed most. When Travathan and Marshall were injured, their backups were awful. I don't think they will draft ILB high however.

The problem is Kubiak only answers who the HC/OC is going to be. Losing Fox and Del Rio means the defense could be in for a major re-org. And if Manning retires, the QB situation becomes the #1 priority. I don't have much hope in Osweiler, the untested backup.

If Manning goes, that actually helps Kubiak because he'll have the built-in excuse he needs for a regression season while he tries to rebuild. If he's the HC and Manning hangs on for one more year, it better be Manning's offense, not Kubiak's because Manning won't survive in a Kubiak offense.
