The Denver Broncos have a huge problem with their roster that seems to keep getting overlooked. If you watched this team, you know exactly what the issue is, and, here is the best part – they can fix it this offseason.
Even without a first or second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Broncos can still help fix one of their biggest issues. The biggest issue that is being overlooked, is definitely the fact that Russell Wilson was getting killed last year.
He got sacked more than any other quarterback in the league, at 55 times. The offensive line never gave Wilson a shot. They never gave him any time in the pocket.
If they can fix that this offseason, I think that solves most of their offensive problems. Not all of them but most of them.
There is one guy they could go after in the draft with their first pick, which just so happens to come in at pick 67, in the third round.
Tennessee offensive lineman Darnell Wright could be an absolute steal if he is available when the Broncos are on the board.
The 6'6" offensive lineman wins on solely power. He is strong, and maybe one of the stronger guys in his position. Whoever was lined up across from him, most likely lost on the point of attack because of Wright's power.
He is primarily a right tackle but is versatile. I wouldn't be surprised if Wright ended up getting moved inside at guard or even to the left side at times. He can play every position other than center but is best at right tackle.
He can though, get better with his balance. Often times when he gets put on the heels on his feet, his balance gets knocked off, and that's when he loses reps.
Wright has a ton of experience where as a lot of tackles in the draft don't. According to Pro Football Focus, he is projected to be a third-round pick, as he is the 71st-ranked prospect on their draft big board.
Oh, and he already looks good in orange, why not add some blue to that?
