Offensive Line

Broncos Matt Paradis

Outside of Matt Paradis, this is a group that could end up seeing a lot of change. Russell Okung and Donald Stephenson look like free agent busts, while Max Garcia and Michael Schofield looked overwhelmed at times. Ty Sambrailo looked like he regressed from his promising start last season. The problem is, there isn’t going to be a quick fix.

  • Even if the Broncos signed two new guards and two new tackles, it’s going to take time to gel. Two of the best lines in football, Dallas and Oakland, weren’t built overnight.

    Free agency could be tough. When teams develop a quality lineman, they don’t tend to let them walk. Baltimore looks as though it will let Ricky Wagner test the waters, and with a grade of 84.5 from Pro Football Focus, is one of the best lineman that could be available. If he’s allowed to test the market, expect Elway to give him a call.

    Overall, I expect a large chunk of the draft and free agency to focus on both the offensive and defensive lines for obvious reasons.

    Let me know what you think! Are there any free agents you want Denver to go after on offense? Any players coming into the draft you think the Broncos need? Give me your opinion in the comments!
