G, T.J. Lang, Eastern Michigan

Pros:  Good height with thick and strong upper and lower bodies. Absolute mauler who works hard on - and through - every play.

Cons:  Must learn to play inside in the NFL because he lacks the athleticism, arm length and hand size to be more than a short-term solution outside.

Styg's Broncos Fit:  A work in progress, Lang is a tough-minded, physical player who never lets up and who shows flashes of the kind of awareness you like to see in C depth.  He is athletic enough to pull and trap effectively, has good balance and is smart enough to learn the line calls.  A self-starter who responds well to coaching and could play a relief role at any spot on the line, he could be a good value for Denver in their search for interior depth, but may not have the upside to project to a long-term answer at C.
