When Boise State's Ryan Clady fell to the Broncos with the 12th pick of the draft, Denver's offensive line took a turn for the better.
The Broncos had usually picked linemen with late picks, with the exception of 2003 first-rounder George Foster, who didn't pan out. Denver hit on plenty of those late picks at a time when not many teams were using the zone-blocking scheme.
The Broncos had to invest to get a top left tackle, and that's what they project Clady to become. Clady wasn't drafted with the 12th overall pick to sit on the bench.
"He'll start at left offensive tackle the day he comes in," Shanahan said.
That means a shuffle for the rest of the line, which suddenly is deeper than it has been in a few years, even with the retirement of Matt Lepsis.  Be first to comment this article |  Add as favourites (0) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 0
