20. Denver Broncos

OT. Wisconsin. Ryan Ramczyk . 20. player. 45. The Denver Broncos will continue to talk about who should be their quarterback in 2017 but the reality is it won’t matter until they get things straightened out on their offensive line. What was once a cornerstone strength for so many years has fallen into disrepair, even during their Super Bowl run in 2015. It’s a big reason why they failed to make the playoffs. Better protection and power in the ground attack is what they need. <p>Ryan Ramczyk is emerging as the best tackle prospect in the class. Big and strong per required, he stands out the most for his athleticism and ability to mirror pass rushers. He does have some lingering health concerns that bear monitoring. However, if he checks out then he has all the trappings of a future franchise left tackle. If Paxton Lynch ends up being the guy, then Ramczyk could be the one guarding his blind side.</p>
