The Denver Broncos must upgrade the offensive line. There’s no two ways about it. The right tackle position has been an abomination for most of the past two seasons, manned this past year by the combination of Donald Stephenson and Ty Sambrailo.

With Sambrailo looking more and more like a second round bust and Stephenson looking like a miss in free agency, it’s back to the drawing board for John Elway and company at right tackle. Wagner seemed like an even better fit when Gary Kubiak was still around given their connection in Baltimore, but this is still a marriage that makes sense. The Broncos need help at right tackle, so go out and get the best one on the market.

Wagner is only 27, and would be an immediate upgrade for the Broncos, who are looking to protect their first round investment of Paxton Lynch, the future of the franchise.
