Let me preface this selection by saying that I think the Broncos are likely to  go after some help for the offensive line with some of their premiere free agency assets this upcoming Spring. They will have a decent amount of cap space, and I think this will be a great opportunity for them to make some wholesale changes up front that are overdue.

One position on the line that needs upgrading is offensive guard, which currently is occupied by former fourth round pick Max Garcia and former third round pick Michael Schofield.

Feeney is one of the most productive offensive linemen in the country as a redshirt senior, and will come into the NFL having played and started nearly 50 collegiate games.

Plus, with a nickname like ‘Mr. Feeney’, how can you pass this guy up?

The Broncos clearly have a need at either guard position, and Feeney has primarily played right guard in college. I think the 2015 All-American would be a big-time pickup for an offense that is desperately seeking upgrades on the line.
