Conclusion

I am not going to sugarcoat this. Mike Munchak has a lot of work to do with this unit. At least two spots on the offensive line need to be fixed. The only position that I consider safe is left guard. I might throw center in there if the team decides to bring back McGovern.

But the other three spots need a minor to major makeover. There are some solid prospects in the draft. Tristan Wirfs is a name that has been thrown around in Broncos Country in the first round who could be the Robin to Dalton Risner’s Batman.

Joe Thuney, a name that I have talked about, could be available in free agency. He would be a major upgrade if Denver is willing to spend a little bit.

Next. Top Broncos acquisitions of the decade. dark

But there has to be some changes made. Especially if Drew Lock is going to be successful in this league. Offensive line is a major need for the 2020 offseason. I sure hope the Broncos figure it out.
