Florida State. Cameron Erving. 28. player. 45. If there is one eternal truth in the NFL these days it is you can’t have enough good offensive linemen. The Denver Broncos seem to be in need of a few more, as they not only have probably needed an upgrade at center and right tackle for awhile, but have recently lost guard Orlando Franklin to the San Diego Chargers. Arguably more than any team in the NFL, the Broncos can’t afford to have a substandard line in 2015. Quarterback Peyton Manning’s health, and the team’s chances at a Super Bowl berth, depend on it. They need a can’t miss offensive lineman pick in the draft, and they would have it with Cameron Erving. <p> </p> <p>Erving possesses rare athleticism as a offensive lineman. For starters, he didn’t even play the position in college when he first came to Florida state. He made the move to left tackle from the defensive end position, and eventually became the team’s center. He excelled in just about every spot they put him in, and his ability to play multiple positions on the line could be a huge selling point for Denver. Most importantly, he can dominate in the run game as a pulling center, or in the passing game as a tackle or guard. The Broncos can’t let the talent Erving possesses escape from their hands when their pick comes up.</p>. Center
