7. Graham Glasgow, Denver Broncos
Whether it’s trading secondary standouts Quandre Diggs and Darius Slay, or allowing Graham Glasgow to enter free agency, the Lions seem to be determined to rid the organization of all its best players. The Broncos signed the Michigan alum to a four-year, $44 million contract in March, which is still a relative bargain for the guard position. Glasgow may play center in Denver, though he would prefer to play guard, and he was very good at the latter position in 2019, allowing no sacks, five quarterback hits, and 20 quarterback hurries in an offense that was severely restricted by Matthew Stafford’s back injury.
At 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, Glasgow has enough power to be a factor in the run game, but it’s his flexibility and technical consistency that sets him apart, no matter which position he plays.
