The Denver Broncos obviously need to get Russell Wilson, their new $235 million quarterback, some protection. He has help, when we talk about weapons and such, he has that. But, there is only so much he can do with a bad offensive line.
With that being said, there needs to be moves made this offseason, and the summer is the perfect time to do so. They can either go get some guys in free agency, or they could do it in the draft.
They have the 29th pick they got from the San Francisco 49ers, but, they could not have that one either depending on if they get Sean Payton or not. But for now, let's assume they will keep the pick.
With their 29th pick in the draft, they could get one of the more consistent and experienced guys for their offensive line, that is if he falls to them.
Anton Harrison, the tackle from Oklahoma, is the 21st-ranked prospect in the draft and the third-ranked offensive tackle in the draft according to Pro Football Focus.
Harrison started as the left tackle every single year since he was a true freshman, and accumulated over 1,800 offensive snaps, and allowed just four sacks in three seasons. The guy can block and he does it consistently well. He also played over 50 snaps at right tackle this season, so he is a bit versatile if the Broncos would want to move him to that side.
2022 was his best season, as he allowed only nine pressures on 447 pass-blocking snaps, which is elite at the position. He's 6'5" and 315 pounds, so the size isn't an issue either, especially not to play on the outside.
Harrison would be a pretty great fit for the Broncos. He would bring youth, but experience and consistency, to the offensive line that needs a little bit of everything.
