The Denver Broncos left the 2021 NFL Draft without any offensive tackle prospects among their 10 draft picks. Considering the depth of the offensive line in this class, that did come as at least somewhat of a surprise with the status of veteran Ja’Wuan James clearly in a state of limbo.
General manager George Paton has stated this offseason that his expectation for James this season was to be the starter at right tackle and play well. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen as James suffered an Achilles injury and is likely to miss all or most of the 2021 season after opting out of the 2020 season and missing most of the 2019 season.
