Broncos general manager Brian Xanders was Josh McDaniels' right-hand man, but the former coach made all the final personnel decisions. Xanders stayed on when McDaniels was fired earlier this month and hopes to remain Denver's general manager. "The dynamics were he had final say on player personnel issues," Xanders said of McDaniels. "I was respectful of that, and I was going to work under those parameters. We did our best to build our draft board and free-agency ranking lists and match the player personnel fits with scheme requirements we have."
