5. Tyrell Crosby, OT (Lions)

The Denver Broncos settled their right tackle position after the Ja’Wuan James injury with a competition between Bobby Massie and Calvin Anderson.

Massie ended up beating young Anderson in the battle, but the Broncos kept both guys.

Obviously, beyond the 2021 season, the right tackle position remains unsettled and the Broncos should be looking into opportunities to potentially upgrade there or find some long-term options.

Tyrell Crosby has got to be a consideration.

Even though he was waived/injured from the Lions, his release from the team was a pretty substantial surprise.

He’s been dealing with a hamstring injury, but even with that under consideration, the addition of Penei Sewell to take his job obviously didn’t sit well and there have been rumors for a while that Crosby could be traded.

He’s now available for nothing in return, so the Denver Broncos should be all over this.

The former Oregon Ducks player was a favorite of many in Denver Broncos Country during the pre-draft process back in 2018. He could come into Denver, learn under Mike Munchak, and give the Broncos an option for 2021 and beyond.

He would be an upgrade over Cam Fleming (who was cut and is expected back) as well.
