AFC West offensive line rankings: Chiefs, Raiders compete for top spot
By Grant Tuttle
4. The Denver Broncos
Projected starters: Garett Bolles, Dalton Risner, Connor McGovern, Ronald Leary, Ja’Waun James
The Broncos are certainly not in the top tier of offensive lines. In fact, I would argue that they may be among the worst. There is already so much uncertainty and lack of security on the offense already without adding in a poor offensive line. The Broncos may have a tough time on offense this season.
Bolles was a first round pick who hasn’t held up well against the AFC West’s pass rushers. Ronald Leary was a decent addition, but the Broncos need performers with a higher-ceiling. That’s also the case at center and right tackle.
The best player on this offensive line may be the newcomer from Kansas State, Dalton Risner. As a versatile player, Risner is an excellent pass blocker and holds up well against speedy defenders. Other than that bit of optimism, there is not much to be excited for in Denver. This is not a good offensive line unit.
