1. Matt Paradis, C

Bringing Paradis back into the fold is imperative for Denver in their hopes of solidifying the offensive line. The four-year starter has proven to be one of the best centers in the entire league.

Since becoming the starting center for the Broncos, Paradis has only surrendered six sacks on a total of 2,526 pass-blocking snaps since 2015. Another quality of the former sixth-round pick’s game — lack of penalties. Paradis has only been penalized eight times in his career (including postseason).

Another quality of the former sixth-round pick’s game — lack of penalties. Paradis has only been penalized eight times in his career (including postseason).

Denver has struggled to find any type of stability along their offensive line for the past couple of seasons now and letting Paradis walk away in free agency just continues the streak. The 29-year-old center deserves to be the team’s top priority this offseason.

Paradis is an elite caliber center and will be a help to Flacco and his lack of mobility. Denver may also draft a quarterback  in the first-round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and the star center would provide security for a young signal caller.
