other than the signing of FAs, the obvious priority is OL.

Well, what has been proven beyond the shadow of doubt is defenses clearly win championships. Not really able to dispute that anymore. The tale of two teams. 2013 Broncos and 2015 Broncos. There it is. Nothing else needs to be said.

Now they just need to lock down Von Miller. He cannot go anywhere. Those thinking they need to prioritize Osweiler.....well not really true. Would the Giants have prioritized Jeff Hostetler over LT? Not saying Von is LT but he is not far from it at this point.

Ok, having said all of that, if this team upgrades this OL (Clady coming back does that automatically ) and they are able to run that offense that is dynamic with the rush and balance......the sky is the limit. Especially if they are able to stabilize the defense.

We had two guys on IR this season. I know FO needs to rework Cladys deal but, I'm not 100% sure we will vastly over haul the OL like most fans think we'll see.

The LT/Hostetler comp isn't quite apples to apples. No one is questioning that we keep Von. The question for most fans is whether you sign Osweiler (for let's say $8-9MM) or Malik (for probably $11-12MM).

Personally I think that decision is already made. And Oz will be starting for us next year. JMO

I don't expect Malik or Danny T to be Broncos next year.

I think we keep BMarsh, Oz, and obviously Von. Malik is the question mark.

I'm not overly concerned with the oline; Ty and Clady coming back at worst gets rid of Schofield at RT, and we still have other options via FA.

I do expect Clady and Ware to rework their deals.

Yup OL isn't as dire as many have made it out to be. With Clady being willing to rework his deal that changes things. He becomes much less of a risk to give another season and with Sambrailo coming back from injury that should help. When you throw in that Garcia and Paradis will have a full seasons worth of games played in to grow from and heck even Schofield having a bunch of starts to move into that back up role the OL isn't looking quite as scary for next season. My guess is we sign one mid-level FA and then use a draft pick at some point in the 1st 4 rounds (maybe one of our Comp picks) to get a guy with a high ceiling but raw talent. Willie Beavers is one of my favorite mid-round guys.
