Ty Sambrailo, Tennessee Titans

Now let’s be honest, when Ty Sambrailo was in Denver, he was particularly bad.

The Broncos chose him in the second round of the 2015 draft and he played for the team for two seasons, looking lost almost every time he was on the field. The Broncos then traded him to the Atlanta Falcons following the 2016 season.

Since leaving Denver, Sambrailo has played better for the Falcons and his current team, the Tennessee Titans. Sambrailo actually took over as the Titans’ starting left tackle last season when Taylor Lewan went down with injury.

But the Titans have Lewan and they also just used a second-round pick on Dillon Radunz, who shows a lot of promise.

Sambrailo has the ability to be a decent swing tackle off the bench at this point and with the experience he has gained elsewhere combined with the fact that he could come back to Denver and learn from Mike Munchak makes him an intriguing option for the Broncos.

Sambrailo is a name you would initially scoff at in relation to a trade to the Broncos but when you think about it, there are much worse ideas out there.
