INDIANAPOLIS — A year ago, the Broncos used a second-round draft pick on Dalton Risner, a 50-game college starter who was second-team All-America as a senior and thrived in the NFL following a position switch.
Shane Lemieux could be an ideal follow-up selection. The 6-foot-4, 316-pound Lemieux started all 52 games of his Oregon career at left guard and was named second-team All-American this past fall.
Led by offensive line coach Mike Munchak, Risner made the move from right tackle at Kansas State to Broncos left guard look seamless. Lemieux could take over right guard, which is open after oft-injured veteran Ron Leary’s contract option was declined.
