The Denver Broncos have faced offensive tackle challenges for nearly a decade, but recent seasons have seen improvements. Garett Bolles has elevated his play, Mike McGlinchey is showing year-over-year progress, and Alex Palczewski has emerged as a reliable swing tackle. Despite this positive trajectory, the Broncos may still seek a veteran tackle to bolster their depth chart. With Matt Peart set to become a free agent and Frank Crum requiring further development, the franchise is not in dire need of a starter, but wants competition for younger talent.

The upcoming free-agent class for offensive tackles looks promising, featuring names like Ronnie Stanley, Cam Robinson, and Mekhi Becton. However, it’s unlikely the Broncos will pursue these big names. Instead, they should focus on obtaining a seasoned player who can challenge the current roster. The healthy free-agent market may allow for favorable deals at other positions, such as running back or wide receiver, benefiting the Broncos in further strengthening their lineup.
