Quinn Meinerz, C

I may be in the minority here, but I love Quinn Meinerz and truly believe he will be a long-term starter for the team.  He already had very desirable traits for an interior offensive lineman, and he’s coming into a very nice situation in Denver.

While incumbent Lloyd Cushenberry may take a big enough leap to win the job, I expect Meinerz, whether it’s Week 1 or during the season, to take over the starting job.

Meinerz and Cushenberry have very different playing styles, and I think Meinerz exudes more of what it takes to be an efficient center.

Plus, his belly is already known league-wide, so that has to work in his favor, right?
