Dalton Risner picked for all-rookie team by NFL.com

The Denver Broncos know they have a gem in second-round pick Dalton Risner, an offensive lineman out of Kansas State.

The three-time captain for the Wildcats came into the NFL with a ton of experience under his belt, and more than most offensive line prospects coming out of college, NFL-readiness and a balanced all-around game.

I’d be willing to say no offensive lineman in this year’s class — at least at the tackle position — had as good of an all-around game as Risner, or at least, no one was substantially better.

Risner is stepping into an incredible situation with the Broncos where he will be able to play right guard to start his career next to Ja’Wuan James, filling a gaping hole for the Broncos up front.
