Three straight offensive line picks?

Three straight offensive line picks.

I think we’ll see the Broncos take three offensive linemen in this draft, so why not make them premium selections? The Broncos don’t necessarily need a top 50 pick at the tackle position unless the value presents itself, but they should be more than open to taking advantage of the depth in this tackle class with a guy like Peart, another Senior Bowl standout who has outstanding length.

Peart is kind of a lone bright spot for UConn football at this particular point in time, and his ability to hold defenders at bay with such a massive frame could be valuable to the Broncos at either left or right tackle.

What this pick would do is solidify depth at the tackle position and give Denver a player who could truly push for a starting job by year two. They need someone capable of stepping in year one if need be, and Peart has the experience to be able to do that as well.
