Although McGovern has struggled a bit with consistency in terms of his snap placement, he’s been a good center for the Broncos this season and proved he could also start at the right guard position.

McGovern was taken in the fifth round of the same draft class Justin Simmons came out of, and has seen his stock rise the past two seasons as he’s become a full-time starter for the team.

The Broncos obviously don’t want to go into the 2020 NFL Draft process with a ton of needs on the offensive line, and they could already be shopping for a new right guard and a new left tackle depending on how things go the rest of this year with Ron Leary and Garett Bolles, respectively.

McGovern has played well enough to warrant a spot on the team moving forward, and it would be nice for the Broncos to have some stability there again after four years of excellent play by Matt Paradis, who is now with the Carolina Panthers.
