Three New Offensive Linemen

So, perhaps there are five positions that need to be checked off before the Denver Broncos can return to the promise land. But I thought I’d give the offensive line its own part in my wish list. More specifically, there are three positions on the offensive line that I would like to see fixed.

Left tackle, right guard, and right tackle. I believe it is time to put an end to the Garett Bolles experiment. Perhaps have him as a backup in case things go bad, but the draft should be where the Broncos look for his replacement.

Ron Leary has been hurt a lot the last couple seasons. If he cannot stay healthy, I do not see the Broncos bringing him back.

As for right tackle, Ju’Wuan James was supposed to fix that part, but he has not even made it through an entire game and has spent all season on the inactive list due to injury. I hope he can come back stronger, but hopefully the team can find a backup for him in case.
