Many fans thought that the Denver Broncos would be big players in the free agent market to upgrade the center position. However, the team didn’t spend on any of the top-tier players available and only brought in Kyle Fuller as a depth option.
Former third-round selection Lloyd Cushenberry is entering the final season of his rookie deal and Luke Wattenberg, a fifth-round selection in last year’s draft, didn’t look good at all in the limited reps he played as a rookie.
Perhaps the Broncos are more comfortable with Cushenberry than fans would like to believe—or maybe, just maybe—George Paton and Sean Payton are crossing their fingers hoping one of the best center prospects in this year’s draft fall to them when they are slated to be on the clock.
