To me, Denver should have paid Talib and DRC and then drafted like 3 OLBs in the late rounds, to me. Edge rushers are all about explosion, something that Ware, who is older than me and coming off an injury, likely won't have. TJ Ward is the only signing I really like. They got him for the right price and he is really the Best player available at at a position in need of an instant guaranteed starter.
I know I'm selling Ware short by calling him an edge rusher, he's a complete player... but he is coming off his worst production and and injury and is old... so it seems like a lot to pay for that. Shaun Phillips fits that role opposite of von miller well enough IMO, and would be cheaper...
