2017 NFL Mock Draft: Saints find Drew Brees replacement

Roderick Johnson . 21. player. 45. <p>They may  be the defending champions but the Denver Broncos are far from a perfect team. Their offense was a sideshow in the big game, failing to even put up over 200 total yards. A big reason why is their offensive line. By and large it was an underwhelming group and doesn’t appear to have improved much over the past few months.</p> <p>Former second-round pick Ty Sambrailo continues to underachieve, leaving Donald Stephenson to start over him. Russell Okung should settle the left side, but he also has an injury history worth monitoring.</p> <p>With a first round pick quarterback set to take over in the near future, pass protection is becoming a top priority. As if it wasn’t already. Roderick Johnson is establishing himself among the best tackles in the country. He was a key blocker in the run game for Dalvin Cook, boasting size and power to open lanes.</p> <p>However, that masks how nimble he is in pass protection with good feet and long arms. Johnson has experience playing left tackle but it wouldn’t be much of a stretch for him to flip over to the right side.</p>. OT. Florida State
