The Broncos’ offensive line depth will be a key focus as they look to replace a departing starter and solidify their front five.Denver Today
The Denver Broncos are facing a crossroads on their offensive line, with left guard Ben Powers entering a contract year and right tackle Mike McGlinchey’s future uncertain. The team will likely look to the 2026 NFL Draft to find a potential replacement for Powers, and there are several interior offensive line prospects who could fit their scheme.
Why it matters

Each player has their own strengths and weaknesses, and the team will need to evaluate which one best fits their zone-blocking scheme and can potentially step in as a starter in 2027.
