This year's starting O-Line doesn't appear to stack up against last year's so far but I think we have as much depth for a Bronco O-Line as I can remember over many, many years. Tons of O-linemen played last night. I think we even got into the 3rd unit. Nice area to have some depth in. We must have a solid dozen guys that can contribute. Some nice youth in that area as well.

Now if Okorafor can quit getting called for off sides penalties.

For his own sake he has to clean that up. He's under the NFL scouts microscope, and they don't miss habitual mistakes. His size and length make him a prized target, but there's a big drop off in pay from the 1st to the 2nd round, and these penalties could take his value down.

In his defense... I think he's playing injured and its making it difficult on him. Likely trying to get the best jump possible to off-set his obvious lack of 100% effectiveness.

Agreed, sat behind the WMU bench last night. We have B10 size at that position and looks like they all can play.

keep in mind that Okorafor turned 20 in August. When he is drafted, he will be 20 years old. He will be finished with his first rookie contract at the age a lot of guys enter the league.
