One of the strongest offensive linemen in the country, Netani Muti has come back from a 2018 Achilles injury to play some of the best ball we’ve seen from him.

Right now Reid has him ranked in the 100s on his big board, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he declares for the 2020 NFL Draft if he’s a much higher draft pick before all is said and done.

Not only does Muti play the left guard position with sound technique, he’s got big-time strength and plays with a mean streak.

The Broncos have to be looking at their current offensive line alignment and hope they have some type of in-house solution to start at right guard next year, whether it’s Ron Leary coming back or Elijah Wilkinson moving from swing tackle to full-time starting right guard.

Depending on what we hear in that regard and depending on what happens with Connor McGovern, another free agent, we could see the Broncos be active both in free agency and the NFL Draft on the offensive line.

Muti would be a stellar pickup and a player who could match Dalton Risner’s intensity at the right guard spot.
