Broncos roster review: Offensive tackle Tom Compton

While Russell Wilson has finally dismantled the dreaded quarterback carousel graphic Denver Broncos fans have grown to know and hate, an equally depressing lineage of inefficiency has plagued Denver’s offense since 2013 at one of their tackle spots. I’m speaking, of course, about right tackle.

2022 will see Denver roll out a 9th different starter since the departure of Orlando Franklin many years ago. While they didn’t invest in a more long-term solution (whether it be through draft or a trade for former Cowboys’ OT La’el Collins) much to the disappointment of many, they did invest more capital in the position than seen since the year Ja’Wuan James was handed his contract, signing three average tackles to compete for the starting job and provide depth in the case of injury.
