Orlando Franklin : Guard/Tackle – Denver Broncos
Now lined up as their left guard, Franklin was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2011 draft to be the Broncos right tackle. Roster moves and team needs led to a position switch in 2014. He is well rounded and can play both left and right side. He has had an outstanding season in regards to protecting Peyton Manning. He has allowed just 1 sack all season. The downside is that his tenacity has resulted in 20 penalties over the past two seasons, including 10 holding calls. For the right price he could be a very intriguing intra-division signing.
