Mock Draft Roundup, 3.0

OT Garett Bolles, Utah"The young quarterbacks have gotten a lot of blame, but the quarterback play in Denver in 2016 wasn't any worse than the team got in 2015, when the Broncos won a Super Bowl. The big difference was how bad the offensive line was. Denver couldn't run the ball or protect consistently, and thus we could see an offseason makeover. Bolles might not be a plug-and-play at tackle, but Denver needs talent, and new offensive coordinator Mike McCoy can figure it out from there." [Feb. 15]

OT Garett Bolles, Utah "Bolles has just one year of major college experience, but he's the most athletic left tackle prospect in this class and he plays with an edge. He has a lot of tools to develop, and after signing G Ronald Leary and OT Menelik Watson in free agency, Denver might have the time to bring him along properly." [March 15]

RB Christian McCaffrey, Stanford "The Broncos averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last season and Elway made adding reinforcements along the offensive line the top priority in free agency. McCaffrey is perfectly suited to today's wide-open NFL, offering the speed and shiftiness to make defenders miss as a runner, receiver and returner." [March 13]

TE David Njoku, Miami (Fla.) "The Broncos have plenty of names on the tight end depth chart, but no difference-makers. Njoku is only 20-years old and still raw in areas, but his potential is off the charts." [March 13]

OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin "They let Russell Okung leave, and they had issues at both tackles last season anyway. This kid could also help inside at guard if needed." [March 7]

RB Christian McCaffrey, Stanford "John Elway goes rogue and stuns everyone by getting the versatile weapon from his alma mater. McCaffrey was wildly productive in college and immediately would impact multiple facets on offense and special teams." [March 7]

OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin "Russell Okung has already been let go. The Broncos need a replacement. Ramczyk makes perfect sense here." [March 7]

OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin "The Broncos' offensive line ranked 24th in pass protection and Ramczyk will change that. The task becomes even more important as the Broncos continue their youth movement at quarterback." [March 8]

      TE O.J. Howard, Alabama"The Broncos fill their offensive line needs in free agency, and add a receiving weapon here." [March 7]

OT Cam Robinson, Alabama "Robinson has some flaws on tape but he has excellent size, length and power." [March 13]

OT Garett Bolles, Utah "Contrary to popular opinion, it was the Broncos' offensive line struggles that prevented them from making another run at the title, not other factors." [March 1]

OT Cam Robinson, Alabama "If Robinson is available here, he could be the choice as Denver looks to transition away from a zone-based running game to one featuring more power." [Feb. 22]

OT Garett Bolles, Utah "John Elway needs a reliable pass protector to keep Paxton Lynch upright." [March 15]

TE David Njoku, Miami (Fla.) "The Broncos currently have four TEs on their active roster, not one of whom worries defenses all that much. Njoku could be a huge difference-maker." [March 15]

OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin "Denver has a lot of work to do up front, and Ramczyk can step right in at left tackle to offer strong pass protection after he gave up 12 QB pressures last season in his first year of FBS action. He can make every block in the run game, and that fits well with a Denver offense that is looking to add more man concepts to last year's zone-heavy scheme. Ramczyk's 85.0 overall grade ranked fourth in the FBS last season." [March 15]

OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin "The Broncos wisely signed offensive linemen Ron Leary and Menelik Watson in the first week of free agency, and they can finish off their offensive line with Ramczyk, the draft's best left tackle." [March 14]

OT Ryan Ramczyk, Wisconsin "The Broncos upgraded the guard spot by signing Ronald Leary and addressed their need at right tackle by adding Menelik Watson, but there's still a huge hole on the blindside after the departure of Russell Okung. That need sends the first offensive lineman off the board — four were gone by this point last year — and Ramczyk is easily the most game-ready in a weak tackle class. The Wisconsin product is a technically proficient pass protector who plays with smooth athleticism in the run game and gives Denver the chance to jump-start its offense in 2017." [March 14]
