The Denver Broncos are now operating without a first- and third-round pick due to the Jaylen Waddle trade, but they always have options to get more picks, so as we continue breaking down one prospect per round at each position, we will be comprehensive.

Historically, when looking for offensive tackles, the earlier you get one, the better, with NFL hit rates plummeting after the first two rounds. 

You know that developmental mid/late round tackle you hear about? That has less than a 5% chance of working out.

However, that doesn’t mean you don’t take that shot, especially for the Broncos, where their run game coordinator, Zach Strief, turned out to be a great tackle as a former seventh-round pick. 

As always, these projections use the NFL Consensus Big Board. So, with that said, let’s get into the offensive tackle options.
