The offensive line for the Denver Broncos was a mess in 2016. There’s really no way around it.
After signing Russell Okung to a ‘prove it’ contract (that actually backfired on the Broncos in the compensatory draft pick process) and Donald Stephenson to a modest deal, Denver’s line seemed to be taking some kind of shape.
Entering the offseason program, it looked like the Broncos’ starting group would be Okung at left tackle, Max Garcia at left guard, Matt Paradis at center, Ty Sambrailo at right guard, and Stephenson at the right tackle spot.
Denver didn’t make a move on a lineman until the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, taking Missouri’s Connor McGovern.
