The Broncos believe they’ve finally found the help they’ve sorely needed on the offensive line.
The team on Friday acquired veteran tackle Jared Veldheer from Arizona in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick (No. 182). Although Veldheer’s natural position is at left tackle, the plan is to have him start at right tackle, leave Garett Bolles on the left side, and shift Ron Leary to left guard, where he is most comfortable.
A shuffle on the line was considered at the start of the offseason, as the Broncos sought ways to improve not only the protection of their quarterback, but to also aid the run game.
