Broncos to go OL in first round? NFL draft expert Mike Mayock weighs in](http://www.denverpost.com/2017/02/27/broncos-nfl-draft-mike-mayock/) (Nicki Jhabvala, Denver Post)*
In a draft class that is weak at offensive tackle, NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock believes the Broncos' opportunities to upgrade might be better served outside the front five with their first pick. *

Last year the Broncos had nine draft picks, but didn't have much cap space with Miller's blockbuster deal on the horizon.

Broncos’ options at offensive guard remain enticing (Troy Renck, KMGH)*
General manager John Elway said he will attempt to fix the offensive line. The issue is through what avenue or avenues? Guard provides plenty of enticing free agent options, in contrast to the week tackle class. The Broncos will pursue linemen in free agency, but if they can't get a top tackle like Cincinnati's Andrew Whitworh will they shift focus to guard? *
