3. Trade for Pittsburgh Steelers OT Chukwuma Okorafor

I mentioned this possibility for the Denver Broncos after the team learned that Ja’Wuan James was opting out of the 2020 season.

Even with the acquisition of free agent tackle Demar Dotson, I would still not hate seeing the Broncos make this kind of trade.

Chukwuma Okorafor was a third-round pick by the Steelers in 2018, the final year Mike Munchak was offensive line coach with the team.

Not that Okorafor was Munchak’s most prized developmental prospect or anything, but certainly he had input in the selection when it was made and with two years remaining on his rookie deal, there would be plenty of merit to the idea of getting Okorafor into the Broncos’ program and letting Elijah Wilkinson still be the primary backup at either tackle or guard spot.

Trading for Okorafor would give the Broncos an option beyond the 2020 season potentially even at left tackle if Garett Bolles is let go.
