Max Garcia to Denver Broncos: Full Draft-Pick Breakdown

For any Denver Broncos fans who were worried the team wouldn't properly address the offensive line in the 2015 NFL draft, it has put those concerns to rest by selecting two offensive linemen with its first four picks.

Max Garcia, a player who can line up and be effective either at center or guard, is the team's fourth-round selection.

Playing most recently at Florida, Garcia transferred from Maryland and was as athletic as any lineman the Gators had. His quick feet and ability to reach the second level will translate well to Denver's zone-blocking scheme.

He started 12 games at left tackle for Maryland in 2010, but he requested a transfer following the 2011 season. After sitting out all of 2012 due to transfer rules, he started 12 games for the Gators in 2013. Seven of those starts came at left tackle.

Florida chose to move Garcia to center in 2014, where he played very well. Still, his experience at the position is limited. He did commit some errant snaps.

Gino Gradkowski is not a long-term answer at the center position. In fact, he shouldn't be an option at all. In 2013, Gradkowski ranked as the worst center in the league, according to Pro Football Focus.

In recent years, the Broncos have tried Will Montgomery, Manny Ramirez and Dan Koppen at center. Not one of them is currently with the team.

Garcia has strong hands and never stops moving his feet. He also had a solid showing at the Senior Bowl, which clearly elevated his stock.

The best part about this pick is Garcia's versatility, and that is why John Elway chose him. Players who can line up at multiple positions is something Elway covets, and Garcia can be just as effective at the guard spot.

Denver's offensive line coach Clancy Barone will be tasked with teaching Garcia consistency. He needs to be more consistent in his knee bend and his awareness. Protecting Peyton Manning has been integral to the team's success, and Garcia will have to be able to recognize extra pressure and blitzing defenders.

Here is Matt Miller's analysis on the pick. He seems to feel it's a solid choice for Denver, but he brings up a good point that Kansas State's B.J. Finney was still available.

The fourth round seemed a little early to choose Garcia, and an argument can be made that he would have still been available when the Broncos chose in the fifth round and perhaps even the sixth round. To this point in the draft, the Broncos have yet to select a free safety, and Cody Prewitt, a player who would be a perfect fit, was still on the board.

The selection of Garcia just goes to show how serious Denver is about revamping the offensive line. With the addition of Ty Sambrailo in the second round, the Broncos now have a total of 13 offensive linemen on the roster. More will likely be added as undrafted free agents.

There will be some fierce competition in training camp this year.
