Second round: Yodny Cajuste, OT, West Virginia

If the Broncos take a player like Murray in round one, they need to work to solidify the offensive line. They could very well do this in free agency as well, but this year’s offensive tackle class has some really good players who can help right away.

One such player is West Virginia’s Yodny Cajuste, a player who was invited to the Senior Bowl in 2019 after his stellar career with the Mountaineers.

Cajuste would have to transition from the left side over to the right side with the Broncos, but he’s capable of doing that and that may be a good fit for him moving forward anyway.

A second-team All-American selection in 2019, Cajuste would help give the Broncos a pair of bookends for the foreseeable future at the tackle positions to develop under new offensive line coach Mike Munchak.
