The Broncos will select at least three offensive linemen
John Elway has devoted most of his free agency towards shoring up the Denver Broncos offensive line, but there’s still a ways to go, especially in the middle.
Both Evan Mathis and Louis Vasquez, the Broncos’ two starting guards from the Super Bowl, are now gone, and they haven’t exactly been replaced. Sure, Max Garcia will likely step in at one of the guard spots, and he did a solid job in a limited role last season, but there’s no guaranteeing that he’s ready to take on a full-time role. Likewise, Ty Sambrailo has been rumored to be making a move inside, but the Broncos know even less about him.
And even if they both end up starting and playing well, the Broncos need depth, as evidenced last year. The last thing anybody wants is Michael Schofield playing major snaps down the stretch.
No matter who’s at quarterback, Denver needs to do a significantly better job protecting their passer, and the draft is the best place to start.
