The Denver Broncos have a new look interior offensive line for the 2019 season. How will the loss of Matt Paradis shuffle things around?

For the first time since the 2014 regular season, the Denver Broncos will go into a season without Matt Paradis expected to be the team’s starting center.

Paradis, an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career, signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason and left the Broncos with more questions on the interior offensive line.

What if Ron Leary can’t stay healthy? Is Connor McGovern a better center than guard? Who’s playing the other guard spot?

Paradis was unquestionably the Broncos’ best offensive lineman over the last four years, and while we’ll always have Super Bowl 50, we all have to move on.

The Broncos hired Mike Munchak, a Hall of Fame guard as a player, to come in and coach their offensive line. Despite the loss of Paradis, the hiring of Munchak has reignited confidence in the offensive line, and for good reason.

We took a look at Munchak’s units with Pittsburgh and just how good they have truly been.

Now with Munchak developing and teaching the players, can this line take a step forward in 2019? The tackle position is not overly deep, but the Broncos have perhaps even more question marks at the interior line positions.

Let’s take a look at these guys, their contract situations, and how they can make an impact in 2019.
