Hour one Pritchard & Cecil talk about the release of running back C.J. Anderson today by the Broncos. Does this mean Saquon Barkley is the Broncos number one target at number five overall? The guys talk about the first round of the draft and what this move might mean for the teams first round plans. What does this mean for the teams offense and leadership void? The guys also look at leaders in the locker room and most certainly the leaders on offense right now that still remain.
Also, Pritch does not think the Broncos are telling us anything by cutting C.J. Mike Pritchard explains why this is just strictly a business move. Does he have a point, or is there more to this? Cecil Lammey & Mike Pritchard debate that. Plus, the Broncos have a lot of holes to fill this off-season. Is running back the number one spot to fill now? The guys talk about that and much more!

Hour three Pritchard & Cecil talk about if the Broncos tipped their hand at all regarding their first round pick because of the release of C.J. Anderson. Cecil Lammey believes that the Broncos may have tipped their hand by releasing Anderson and basically have told the league that Saquon Barkley could be a real option for the Broncos at number five overall.
