Denver Broncos storylines during the rest of the 2022 offseason

2. Clarity along the offensive line

The offensive line has been talked about so much already, but I think this is currently the single most uncertain part of the Denver Broncos so far.

Who in the heck is going to crack the starting five besides Garett Bolles?

In all seriousness, I think we could see a trade or two to unclog the logjam that the interior has.

There are endless combinations that the team could make along the interior.

Some players that I think have a virtually 0% chance of getting traded along the interior, or players who could play inside, include Quinn Meinerz, Tom Compton, Billy Turner, and Luke Wattenberg.  Any trade involving a Broncos’ offensive linemen would almost certainly include Dalton Risner, Graham Glasgow, and/or Lloyd Cushenberry.

The thing is, though is that those three have been starters for a longer period of time for the Broncos than the formerly mentioned players.

This is why I think this is a huge storyline to follow.  It becomes even more evident once you realize that the Broncos have a handful of draft picks in 2023, so George Paton may see a way to acquire more draft picks in 2023 by trading an interior player.
