The Denver Broncos selected Kansas State offensive lineman Dalton Risner with the 41st overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Risner, who stands at six-foot-five and weighs 312 pounds, plays with a physical and nasty edge. He is a technically sound blocker who plays with good hand placement and a powerful punch upon contact. He has great anchor strength in his frame and plays with his weight underneath him regularly.
His skill set makes him a fit at right tackle, center, or either guard spot. While not a fantastic athlete, he has the technique and strength of a long-term starter at four of the five offensive line positions.
The Broncos have 2017 first-round pick and recent free agent signing Garett Bolles and Ja’Wuan James at their offensive tackle spots, so they likely see Risner as a guard. He has the ability to step in right away and make an impact up front.
