3. Kevin Zeitler, OG, Bengals

To complete the overhaul of the right side of the offensive line, the Broncos add another former Wisconsin Badger in Kevin Zeitler.

Just 26 years old, Zeitler could command a pretty decent contract this offseason, and may well opt for even greener pastures than the Broncos can provide. That said, the fit is perfect for both parties. Zeitler gets his starting gig on another AFC contender, and the Broncos get someone that Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander called the ‘hardest working guy’ he’s ever coached.

That’s high praise for the former first round pick, who would leave a gaping hole on the Bengals’ offensive line but would be a most welcomed addition in Denver. If Zeitler gets to the open market, John Elway and the Broncos need to pounce on the opportunity to solidify the right guard spot for the foreseeable future.
