The fourth round pick of the Detroit Lions has been a part of the Denver Broncos since 2011. Up until this past season he spent his time as a guard, but last offseason he got his shot at center. He didn’t disappoint, with the help of some injuries to the centers ahead of him on the depth chart and solid showings in the preseason and practices, he got the starting gig. As the season went on Ramirez showed he is a capable starter, despite a bad snap at probably the worst time.

Ramirez has competition trying to take his spot as a starter, but with his solid season odds are against him being uprooted. He not only makes the roster, but does so as the starting center.[/mockdraft}
