The Denver Broncos’ offensive line depth chart looks a lot better after the team added guard Ben Powers and tackle Ben McGlinchey in free agency, but the team could still use an upgrade at center.
Right now, Lloyd Cushenberry is penciled in on the depth chart as the team’s starting center, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Broncos bring in more competition this weekend.
Denver has five picks to use in the draft this year, including a pair of picks (Nos. 67 and 68 overall) in the third round. Two weeks ago, we had the Broncos use pick No. 67 to select Wisconsin center Joe Tippmann in our mock draft.
Tippmann might not end up falling to the third round, but there will be plenty of other prospects to monitor even if Tippman doesn’t fall to Denver. Here’s a quick list of 10 names to watch for during the draft from Thursday to Saturday.
1
John Michael Schmitz, Minnesota
2
Steve Avila, TCU
3
Joe Tippmann, Wisconsin
4
Luke Wypler, Ohio State
5

6
