Offensive line (17)

The Broncos have a slew of offensive linemen on this roster with perhaps just one of the spots settled at starter, with Garett Bolles as the starting left tackle.

There should be competition everywhere else although the team only drafted one offensive lineman, selecting Luke Wattenberg in the fifth round. Wattenberg should compete with Lloyd Cushenberry and Quinn Meinerz at center.

Billy Turner, Calvin Anderson and Tom Compton should be the potential options at right tackle, a position the team notably skipped on in the draft.

Graham Glasgow and Dalton Risner may be penciled in as starters but both players will have to solidify that over the summer.

Netane Muti and Ben Braden will be players to keep an eye on as well.

It’s not the strongest offensive line in the league and it would have been nice for the team to get someone like Abraham Lucas in the draft. But Paton did bring in a good number of players to create some competition and give coach Nathaniel Hackett and his staff plenty of options to form the best possible group when the season opens.

Grade: B-
