Offensive line

Left tackle, Ryan Clady: Clady is an easy choice here. The former first-round pick is arguably the best offensive lineman the Broncos have ever had not named Gary Zimmerman. He went to four Pro Bowls and was named to the First-Team All-Pro Team twice.

Right tackle, Orlando Franklin: Right tackle has been a rough spot for the Broncos and it got really bad over the last several years. That’s when fans had to deal with the likes of Donald Stephenson, Ty Sambrailo and Menelik Watson.

Franklin played right tackle for the team for three seasons and while he wasn’t great, he was a more consistent option than anyone else over the last 10 seasons.

Center, Matt Paradis: Another easy choice. Paradis went from a sixth-round pick hopeful to find a place in the league to one of the more consistent centers the Broncos have ever had. Paradis spent five years with the team before leaving last offseason. The Broncos have struggled to find a great replacement for him.

Guard, Zane Beadles: Guard is another spot where a slam-dunk option for this team doesn’t exist. Beadles played for the Broncos for four seasons and never missed a game. He was also chosen to play in the Pro Bowl in 2012.

Guard, Chris Kuper: Kuper doesn’t get the credit he deserves for being as good as he was. He played in 90 career games for the team, making 79 starts. But his career was also slowed badly by injuries.

When he was out there, he was solid and now, he works on the team’s coaching staff and that can only be viewed as a good thing.
