How do you guys feel about the Offensive Line

[broncos SB2010]

Bradbury will most certainly be gone. I think the Vikings are a lock to take him in the 1st. Risner might not make it to day 2 either, so I'm hoping for Erik McCoy, who is also an excellent Center. Elgton Jenkins also should be an option on day 2.

Why would the Vikings take him at 18? They have Elflein at OC. They might move one to OG but I think a better option for them would be an OT like Taylor or Dillard. they could then get an OG like Lindstrom, Risner, or McGary later. I think the Chiefs at 29 or Rams at 31 are good bets.

The OL is not very good, it must rank as a bottom 5 unit. The only 3 guaranteed starters are Bolles, James, and probably Leary if he is fit. Bolles is a questionable LT at best, James is a decent RT, and Leary is either injured or under-performing.

The draft looks deep for the OL and having Munchak on board was a great signing. I think it would be a lost opportunity and pretty poor if 2 of our first 4 picks were not on the OL.

probably because Elflein graded out as one of the worst starting Centers in the league, and enters his contract year next season? Those are strong reasons. Their entire O-line could use an upgrade, but the C position is arguably their worst options. Their OT's aren't very bad. Riley Reiff graded out highly and Brian O'Neill is only 23 on a cheap contract. Next draft they'll have to consider replacing Reiff but I think he has one more good year left.

I still fume over picking Bolles over Ramczyk. Yes, I know they play different sides but I don't get the impression Ramczyk would have had this rocky of a road Bolles has had.

Still shakin my head over that one.

Im still wondering what Elway was thinking!
He just wasn’t doing his homework and it’s coming back to bite him.

Not saying Bolles is dumb but to be an NFL O-linemen, one has have a great memory and be pretty dam sharp!

If Peyton Manning was to say “55s the mike, HURRY HURRY OMAHA HUT HUT” his O-line doesn’t moves. why?

Because nothing is official until they hear a certain coded message disguised by usually one word. That word be as simple as saying “yellow”!

It’s sounds pretty silly but that is how most NFL offenses operate. You do not move until you hear that one word which makes it official. Bolles just doesn’t get this!

Manning absolutely would not have this guy on his offense. There are no plays in the playbook for 2nd & 20 and most defenses know this.

Bolles is just not right for this team IMO but hopefully Munchak can do something with him and I’m wrong but at this point I doubt it!

It was probably the injury Ramczyk had that turned us away from him.

I didn't like either of them TBH.

In fairness to Bolles, if he was in NO's with Bree's at QB he is probably looking pretty good right now, whereas Ramczyk protecting TS, Lynch, and CK would not help him look good.

What on earth are you talking about here? Bolles issue is not snap counts and false starts. His main issue is bad footwork and therefore holding once he gets beat.

None of that has anything to do with knowing which word triggers the snap count.

Are you Garrett Bolles using an alias? Why would it seem as if your offended by my comments?

I understand Garrett draws penalties for holding but he’s also guilty of jumping off sides.

It doesn’t make you a genius or garner you any points to attempt to bite someone’s head off.

I wasn’t doing any of that. Don’t be so sensitive. I literally had no idea where you were going with all that and adding snap cadence to your post.

Garrett Bolles was called for 3 false starts in 2018 and 0 offsides.

But 7 holds.

That’s not that bad on understanding snaps counts for an entire 16 game season. And unlike holds false starts can’t be declined so he didn’t have any that he got away with.

http://www.nflpenalties.com/player/g-bolles-denver-broncos?year=2018

In 2017 he had 4 false starts assessed

http://www.nflpenalties.com/player/g-bolles-denver-broncos?year=2017

So 7 in two seasons. But 14 holds. And holds can be declined if he allowed a sack on the play.

I don’t think Bolles issue is understanding snap count. It’s footwork mechanics.

I would not be upset if Denver selected OL in the first three rounds.

Whoever Dever decides to field at QB; he's going to need an OL.

R1 (trade #10 to early 20's): LT Andre Dillard, Washington State
Allows Bolles to be moved elsewhere potentially.

R1 (trade use #10's cache + R3 pick): C Garrett Bradbury, N.C. State
Bradbury's selection gives Denver options with McGovern at C/G.

R2: C/G Erik McCoy, Texas A&M
McCoy played well against D. Lawrence and Q. Williams and would offer C/G depth.

Leary will most likely be released in 2020 with over 8M saved, only 875K dead.

Fast Forward one year 2020 OL as of now
LT Dillard
LG Bolles / (2020 draft pick)
OC Bradbury / Falah / Jones
RG McCoy / (re-sign McGovern?)
RT James / Knappe

Denver waived Andreas Knappe yesterday. So, there are nine O-Linemen on the roster about a week before the Draft. They will need at least fifteen for TC.

They’ll likely draft 1 or 2. Then I would think they would fill the remaining needed for camp with undrafted free agents.

Is it completely out of the question to think they could trade back while aiming for Garret Bradbury? That’s what I’d like to see.

Forget Devin White or Devon Bush and trade back, draft Bradbury while picking up another second and aim for a DE/ DT in the second and maybe fill a void with Darron Lee.
