5. Improve the OL

This would be a boring move, but the Broncos just hired Mike Munchak to coach their offensive line and they might throw him a bone in round one of the 2019 NFL Draft.

There are some really good players available on the offensive line in this year’s class, headlined by Alabama left tackle Jonah Williams.

Williams is considered by scouts to be an elite prospect at tackle or guard, where the Broncos have needs on the right side of the offensive line.

Behind Williams, Florida’s Jawaan Taylor is gaining steam as a possible top 10 selection in this year’s draft. Taylor played right tackle at Florida and he could slide in perfectly for the Broncos there if he were the team’s top pick.

Next. The Joe Flacco trade aftermath and fallout. dark

The Broncos could also move down and pick Dalton Risner, a right tackle from Kansas State who grew up a Broncos fan and has already declared he would love to play for the team.

This would be an unspectacular option, but is obviously an area the Broncos have to address.
