Offensive Linemen

Garett Bolles, Dalton Risner, Lloyd Cushenberry, Graham Glasgow, Ja’Wuan James, Elijah Wilkinson, Netane Muti, Jake Rodgers (8)

Something that some people refuse to acknowledge is that Garett Bolles showed vast improvement as the 2019 season went on. The Broncos have yet to pick up his fifth-year option, but entering just his second season with Mike Munchak, there’s still room to grow. The Broncos should keep this thing going.

Dalton Risner was a beast for the Broncos offensive line at left guard. He made an immediate impact and continues to grow into a solid starter.

Now, with the center position, the Broncos were fortunate enough to be able to draft LSU’s Lloyd Cushenberry. He is expected to be their starting center, pushing pre-draft starter Patrick Morris to the side. Lloyd was a captain at LSU and could be in that same role in Denver at some point.

Graham Glasgow came to the Denver Broncos in free agency after the team declined Ronald Leary’s option.

Ja’Wuan James missed the majority of the 2019 season due to injury but the hope is that he will be able to make a strong impact for the team in 2020 at the right tackle position.

Elijah Wilkinson, Netane Muti, and Jake Rodgers are the reserve offensive linemen I chose to make the team. Wilkinson adds value due to his ability to play multiple positions.

Muti would have been drafted higher if it weren’t for an injury. He is a strong freak, putting up 44 (forty-four!!!) reps on the bench press.

Jake Rodgers will be entering his third season with Mike Munchak, who coached him while both were with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Broncos want versatile offensive linemen and that’s what they have in some of these guys.
