2. RG/C Graham Glasgow

Ryan O’Halloran of the Denver Post has the specifics. In four seasons with the Detroit Lions, Graham Glasgow started three different positions – the majority at center (26) and the other 32 nearly split in half at left guard (18) and right guards (14). So does the 27-year-old pro have any preferences?

“I’m open to playing wherever,” said the versatile performer to Aric DiLilla of DenverBroncos.com. “I’ve played all positions in the past except for tackle. If they wanted me to play tackle, I’d give it a go – but hopefully not. I kind of imagine guard, but center’s cool too…

“When you’re at guard, there’s a lot less help,” added Glasgow. “You’re not really getting helped as much. When you’re a center, you’re mainly just giving help. In the pass game, I would say it’s definitely more challenging to play guard.”

Regardless of where he lines up, the 6’6”, 310-pound blocker should help make the Denver running game a lot more formidable. The club ranked 20th in the league this past season in rushing yards per game (103.9). But the addition of Graham as well as former Chargers’ running back Melvin Gordon – the latter teaming with Phillip Lindsay – should change that in a big way.
