It's pickup and drop time here for week seven. The pickups are a little late to help most of you with your waiver claims, but it should still help you navigate free agency throughout the week. Not all of these moves need to be made, and you should always consider your team before doing anything, but here is a short list of guys for you to be picking up or dropping this week...

Free Agency Starts At Home: The Denver Broncos Five Biggest Player Decisions
Assuming they get a new collective bargaining agreement done, NFL Free Agency is scheduled to begin on March 3, 2011. I'm going to go through every team between now and then and identify their top five free agents and try to determine what should be done with each player, be it resign them or let them walk. I'm going team by team in draft order and the Denver Broncos are the second team on my list.
The Broncos nearly had a lost season this year. The team went 8-8 in 2009 and people expected them to be able to compete in the weak AFC West this year, but the Broncos managed just a 4-12 record. They had the worst defense in the league in both yards and points allowed. Head Coach Josh McDaniels didn't even make it to the end of the season.
Fortunately, their season wasn't a complete loss because of Tim Tebow. Tebow was made starting quarterback at the end of the year and showed that he could succeed in the NFL like he did in college, despite not being a great traditional quarterback. With the quarterback of the future in place, new Head Coach John Fox has to decide what players he needs to keep to help Tebow and the Broncos win.

Ranking The New Head Coaches.
(Wrote this for as an application for bleacher report. They required an article in one of a few formats that they use a lot and one was slideshow. I'm not going to take the time to find pictures but I'm not gonna let 700 words go to waste.)
7. Whomever Al Davis picks - Raiders - The problem with this coaching change is it was the one that had no reason to happen. A smart owner would not fire a head coach after he went 6-0 in the division. There was a lot to build on for the Raiders with Tom Cable there, but who knows if the next guy (rumored to be current offensive coordinator Hue Jackson) will be able to get the players to play hard in Raiderville the same way Cable did.

Daily Links for Thursday 1/13/11
This is a pretty long standing blog tradion... Gonna just post some links up here of good/interesting/important stuff to read/watch I came across today.
John Fox is a Tim Tebow Fan
If you missed the news today, John Fox was hired o be the new Head Coach out in Denver. I love John Fox as a coach. He did a great job when he was with the Giants as D-Coordinator and then did a great job in Carolina as the Head Coach getting a lot out of a team that didn't have much talent. The important part of this is what i linked above. Fox likes Tebow. This is big. Some coaches were down on the guy coming out of Florida but if you've seen him play I don't know how you could be. He will always have his well documented limitation but he always gives 110%. Winning in the NFL is very dependent on your Coach/QB Combo. With Fox to help the defense and Tebow moving that offense I expect this tea to be be better next year and to be a legit AFC contender in 2012.
Packers vs Eagles with Clay Matthews miked up.
NFL Films can make anything look awesome and this game is no exception. Plus a chance to hear Clay Matthews miked up is always fun. Saints-Seahawks game is also out there but the link wasn't working when I went to post this.
Yankees Sign Rafael Soriano
This move just happened. It seems like an overreaction with the Yanks giving up multiple picks for a set up man just because Wood is gone. Would rather see the money go elsewhere.
Bill Simmons On Melo to Jersey
Bills Simmons breaks down why it's an absolutely horrible move for Carmelo to go to Jersey. He should hold up any trade to not go there. That team is not gonna break the Knicks hold on NY and he would be second fiddle to Amar'e. He should wait and take less money and go to NY as a free agent. He can get a 3 year deal and then renegotiate for more money after that. Bill mentions the Clippers but I don't see why the Clips would do that. That team gets better every game and should be in the playoffs next year.
Late Breaking Edit - Cam Newton Declares For Draft
I would have stayed if I was him. He's not Luck. Too many question marks for me.
