Let’s make a deal! Swap D.T. for a DB?

Behind door No. 88? Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has too many drops. Denver should follow the Patriots’ Way and trade him for a high draft pick. Keep Courtland Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders for the future. Peter, San Diego

Kiz: The Broncos have too many receivers and not enough defensive backs. Are you old enough to remember the late, great Monty Hall? John Elway is. Let’s make a deal. One problem: Which NFL team would trade for a receiver who carries a $12 million salary cap hit but drops the football?

Blame the coach. What’s the biggest difference between the Case Keenum we see this year in Denver and the Keenum we saw last year in Minnesota? Coaching! Put the blame where it belongs. Mark, coaching ’em up

Kiz: When in doubt, blame Vance Joseph. That’s what we do around here, right? Here’s an alternative view: What if Keenum is an adequate NFL quarterback who enjoyed a career year for Minnesota in 2017? Maybe what we’re seeing is what the statistical nerds at Kickin’ It Headquarters like to call regression to the mean.

Make every day Ag Day. Sometimes, I think the CSU Rams should change to alfalfa and pumpkin as their primary uniform colors. Kyle, CSU alum

Kiz: Colorado loves a football team in an orange uniform. CSU should wear its Aggie heritage proudly. Every game. Now, a farming question: Mares eat oats and does eat oats. Do little Rams eat alfalfa?

Monday night fumble? ESPN has made “Monday Night Football” irrelevant with bad management, greed and forgettable announcing teams. It’s too bad all that great “MNF” history is now just that. History. Kevin, North Vancouver, B.C.

Kiz: There’s a great appetite for the NFL, but not enough juicy matchups for all the primetime games. Thursday? Sunday? Monday? The NFL is on more often than reruns of “Friends.” The Monday night game now is what it is: The last refuge for desperate gamblers and fantasy football players.

Wash the Gray out. Jon Gray shouldn’t be a Rockies pitcher. He’s proved time and again he’s consistently inconsistent. J.V., calling the bullpen

Kiz: Maybe it’s time for the Rockies to admit Colorado’s thin air has messed with Gray’s head. A change of scenery might be good for everybody.

Down on “Nado.” If Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado wants to play for a winner, he should play like a winner. Bill, loyal but cynical fan

Kiz: Arenado is a winner. With only one more season remaining on his contract, he will soon become a living, breathing trade rumor. Unless they sign Arenado to an extension, the Rockies will have to consider dealing him. Think Colorado has trouble scoring runs now? I shudder to think about the lack of pop in the batting order without him.

Too much Elway love. And today’s parting shot is a doubledog dare to tackle Elway.

You wrote a pretty straight to the point column on Arenado’s slump. I long for the day when you grow the courage to write a negative column about Elway. After the Broncos miss the playoffs for a third straight season, you will still look at John’s autographed photo on your desk and sing his praises. Matt, blitzing the old QB
