The Facts: With Javon Walker still somewhat limited and Ashley Lelie a now show, Rod Smith and Watts were the first pairing during Thursday's first practices, followed by David Terrell and Charlie Adams, then and Walker and David Kircus.

Diehards Line:Although Terrell was said to be making a strong push during off-season workout sessions, Mike Shanahan was more effusive in his praise of Watts after the completion of Denver's last mini-camp. Walker will be the starter opposite Smith if healthy, while Watts, Terrell, Adams, Kircus and rookie Brandon Marshall will compete snaps behind them.
