AFC West

player. 124. This would be such an Andy Reid move. He has a history of taking offensive linemen who were overly good on one team and turning them into productive starters. His Kansas City Chiefs are always looking for more help in that area. Luke Joeckel was such a promising addition for the Jacksonville Jaguars but due to injuries and inconsistency he just never reached his potential. Given him a few months under Reid’s direction? He may yet reach that elusive potential.. OG. Jacksonville. Luke Joeckel . 29

Sylvester Williams . 30. player. 28. Sylvester Williams really began to regress for the Denver Broncos once Wade Phillips took over as defensive coordinator. Not a surprise since he was drafted to play in a different system. One that Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio had installed before he left Denver. A reunion between the two would make all the sense in the world. The Raiders need help at defensive tackle and Williams needs to get back in a scheme that fits his talents.. DT. Denver

Detroit. Riley Reiff . 31. player. 45. Protection was a considerable issue for the Denver Broncos in 2017, not to mention their run blocking too. It ended up costing them in a number of tight games. Ones where the offense couldn’t put drives together when it mattered. Offensive tackle was a real sore spot. Riley Reiff may not be a star, but the Lions veteran has at least been steady over the years, doing his part to keep his quarterback comfortable. Putting him at right tackle across from Russell Okung is a step in the right direction.. OT

32. player. 13. The failure of the Los Angeles Chargers to properly keep their quarterback behind a reasonable offensive line is one of the big reasons they can’t win games consistently. It’s high time they did something about it. Andrew Norwell was a pleasant surprise for the Carolina Panthers in 2016. He’s a young guard who peaked at the right time and should get a good pay day out of it. He’d make a solid upgrade to the Chargers’ interior blocking, both for Rivers and running back Melvin Gordon.. OG. Carolina. Andrew Norwell
