The Denver Broncos addressed the offensive line in the second round and drafted a player close to home. Ty Sambrailo will compete for time on the offensive line. He is very familiar with the zone blocking scheme and can bounce on either side of the center on guard and tackle.
I could see him fitting well in the left guard position, as he could be a great replacement for Orlando Franklin.
Like I did with Shane Ray, I decided to go onto Twitter and see how fans and analysis reacted to the Broncos drafting Ty Sambrailo. Let’s see what everyone thinks.
OT Ty Sambrailo, our 2nd rd pick from CSU, really fits our system. We expect him to come in and compete for a starting job at right tackle.

Ty Sambrailo will likely get look at guard and then possibly tackle.. "I have a pretty open mind. It's an easy transition to go (guard)"

One of John Elway’s most important drafts yet is off to the start of: Shane Ray & Ty Sambrailo

Favorite things about Sambrailo are his toughness and quick feet.

Ty Sambrailo will do wonders for the Broncos ski team. Very athletic player. Ideal for zone blocking scheme.

And the pick is CSU OL Ty Sambrailo ... athletic, strong, worked at LT for most of his college career but could be a RT first.

Every time I see a picture of Ty Sambrailo, I think he's Zane Beadles.
