Offensive Line – 9 (29/53)

LT: Garett Bolles
LG: Ron Leary; Sam Jones
C: Connor McGovern; Nico Falah
RG: Dalton Risner (R); Elijah Wilkinson
RT: Ja’Wuan James; Jake Rodgers

Beyond the projected starting five, the offensive line is actually really hard to project right now.

The Broncos have 2018 sixth-round pick Sam Jones who is expected to make the roster and potentially develop into a starter as soon as this season or next at left guard/center.

They also have Elijah Wilkinson, a starter last year at right guard and possible swing tackle option.

Nico Falah was inexplicably given a roster spot all year but didn’t play despite the rush of injuries up front for Denver. What does this guy do well that the team kept him on for as long as they did?

I think Jake Rodgers has an edge as a backup tackle because of his history with Mike Munchak, but the spots beyond Jones/Wilkinson are definitely up for grabs. We’ll see what this offensive staff prioritizes, but usually they keep 10 offensive linemen between the active roster/practice squad.
