Where does Denver Broncos offensive line rank in AFC West?

3. Denver Broncos

Even though the Denver Broncos offensive line ranks third in the AFC West, it’ll still be the best unit that Russell Wilson has played behind in his career.

I am personally projecting that, from left to right, the Denver Broncos will start Garett Bolles, Billy Turner, Graham Glasgow, Quinn Meinerz, and Calvin Anderson to begin 2022.

However, they have excellent depth at this position, including players not mentioned like Dalton Risner, Lloyd Cushenberry, Netane Muti, Tom Compton, and recent draft pick Luke Wattenberg.

Denver’s unit may top out as a league-average one, but their depth allows them to keep a very, very high floor with Russell Wilson under center.

I could see a scenario where General Manager George Paton ends up trading away a player or two to acquire some 2023 draft capital since Denver does not have a ton of picks next year.

They made a lot of low-cost and efficient moves along their offensive line for 2022.

I think they could have opened their books up a bit to sign a higher-end interior player like James Daniels or even Brandon Scherff, but the unit they have now is very solid and will make Russell Wilson’s life a lot easier.
