Another former pro bowler on the downside of his career, whether Winston would be an upgrade is much less certain. He has been benched for 1st round pick Cedric Ogbuehi, so he may simply be relegated as part of a changing of the guard.

Based on what we have seen out of Ty Sambrailo, I would feel comfortable saying Winston would be an upgrade on him. Whether he is better than Donald Stephenson is anybody’s guess. If Winston is anything like his old self, the Broncos would get pro bowl production out of both tackles, and then we’d be singing a very different tune about this offense.
