ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' makeover in the offensive line was always going to test their ability to keep all of their former draft picks.
And Friday, one of those former picks -- Ty Sambrailo -- was traded to the Atlanta Falcons for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 draft. The Broncos have made the rounds and fielded calls in recent days about their crowded depth chart on the offensive line, and Sambrailo could be the first of multiple moves if they find some additional trade partners.
Michael Schofield, a third-round pick by the Broncos in 2014, is another player some personnel executives in the league have their eyes on as the Broncos approach Saturday’s league-mandated deadline to cut rosters to 53 players.
