Tommy Kraemer 2020 NFL Draft

The Broncos’ needs along the offensive line don’t stop with just one player. Unless they fortify substantially in free agency, I think they’ll need to select a couple of guys for offensive line coach Mike Munchak to mold.

One intriguing talent is former five-star prospect Tommy Kraemer, who has played both tackle and guard for the Fighting Irish.

Although he certainly hasn’t lived up to the billing of an elite prospect nationally, Kraemer has settled in nicely at the guard position and earned 2nd-team AP All-American love this season.

Built with excellent size, Kraemer has solid movement skills and obviously as a former five-star prospect, he’s always had a high ceiling and excellent natural abilities.

Even if the Broncos were to slot him as a guard, I think he profiles well to the next level as a possible starter with the right coaching and development.
