Be glad the Broncos are not a British team…

B/R’s Matt Miller has Denver’s Ryan Clady and Orlando Franklin ranked in the Top Five at their respective positions.

Earlier this week, quarterback Peyton Manning sent Dwight Freeney a text telling him to come play in Denver.  The text was probably just support from a former teammate; Freeney probably won’t land in Denver.

Pro Bowl guard Zane Beadles is Denver’s only starting offensive lineman on schedule for full participation in the team’s offseason program, which means the Broncos will give a lot of attention to linemen at the Combine this weekend.

For updates on who Denver has talked to at the combine, check out Andrew Mason’s @MaseDenver Twitter feed.  Kudos is in order for Mason, who is back with the team’s official site as a contributor.

Denver’s John Elway says he is looking forward to talking to linebacker Manti Te’o and that the Notre Dame prospect will have a successful NFL career.

Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno has had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee since the end of the season.

Elway also says that if quarterback Brock Osweiler was in this year’s draft, he’d be one of the top quarterback prospects and a first round prospect.

Coach John Fox says Manning “will be even better health-wise” in 2013.
