Though questions abound for the Denver Broncos’ offensive line as a whole, the team employs two of the best interior linemen in the entire league.

Those two players are, of course, center Matt Paradis and guard Ron Leary.

Leary was a big money free agent pickup by the Broncos in the 2017 offseason, and he proved to be worth the money when he was healthy enough to be on the field last season.

Paradis has become a stellar NFL center after a great college career at Boise State resulted in his being selected in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft.

What is the current state of the Broncos’ interior offensive line aside from those two players?

The team needs a permanent fix at right guard, and they think they have at least a player, maybe two, who can be part of the solution.

Let’s take a look at the interior line positions for the Broncos and what each player brings to the table.
