Offensive line (9): Garett Bolles, Dalton Risner, Lloyd Cushenberry, Graham Glasgow, Bobby Massie, Calvin Anderson, Quinn Meinerz, Netane Muti, Cam Fleming

Will the Broncos keep eight offensive linemen or nine? That is a tough question and one this team will be faced with because the first eight names above are going to make the squad.

Lloyd Cushenberry has been excellent this summer and seems to have put to bed any idea that rookie Quinn Meinerz would take his job as the starting center. However, Meinerz is a great prospect who is guaranteed to make this team.

The same goes for Netane Muti, who is getting harder and harder to leave on the bench and soon, the team won’t be able to.

Bobby Massie and Calvin Anderson are still battling for the starting right tackle spot in one of the best competitions in camp but both will make the team. The last spot comes down to whether or not the team keeps Cam Fleming.

I will say yes because having experienced tackles on the roster who can come in due to an in-game injury or make spot starts as the season progresses is a valuable thing. In making up this 53-man roster, Fleming got the last spot.
