Certainly would fill a need/add depth, and reunite Garcia with Sean Kugler, who was the Broncos offensive line coach last season

Does anyone know what Garcia offers?

Could be another sign Shipleys days are numbered.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Who knows. Mike Clay had an updated availability list on Twitter and he wasn't even in the top 10 to 15 Centers/Guards available. FWIW.... Iupati was ranked 4th best still available.

 

[AZCrazy]

Gotta be reputation only at this point for Iupati. Good man and player, but just hasn't survived a season in recent memory.

Like Sweezy, I like this Garcia's durability.

Also, Garcia is a former Florida Gator as are D.J. Humphries and Marcus Gilbert; wonder what those three will be taking about in the offensive linemen meeting room

surprised Iupati is ranked so high! Mike Clay is about as analytical as they come. Maybe just says more about the rest of the list behind him

 

[Krangodnzr]

Sounds like a Kugler signing.

If we trade back, RT Jawan Taylor could be in the mix too! Kind of makes me sick being a Hurricanes fan though!!

What I can say about Max Garcia, is I liked him out of college. Nasty demeanor and can play guard and center. So, I am happy with the signing. 5th year in the league, so we have have the optimistic view that he has "learned" the NFL game and reap the benefits of him learning his trade with another team, and him being a more polished product. He 27 years old, so he is in his prime, yet he is coming off an ACL injury, so he is going to be a PUP guy until, at least 6 games into the season, one would think.

He is going to challenge Shipley, Sweezy and Colby Gossett for a roster spot, or even a starting spot, IMHO. So, not a "splash" guy, but may be a solid contributor

On paper the OL is looking like, at least so far:

LT: Humphries
LG: Pugh
OC: Cole
RG: Sweezy
RT: Gilbert

OT: Cunningham
OG: Garcia
OC: Shipley

Not sure how much of an improvement we are looking at but this what is, it is shaping up to be.

Torn ACL in November. Played every snap in 2016 and 2017. Allowed 6 sacks in those 2 years and called for holding only 3 times.

I think they are keeping Pugh at RG... reports say Sweezy was much better on the left side.

The depth is looking better at least.

Looks like a marked improvement to me over street FAs

When healthy he will be a good backup, if and when there is an injury on the interior. We usually start the season with complete unknowns as depth

That tells me the ranking list means nothing.

 

[slanidrac16]

As a bit of optimism remember this staff is hand picking players that fit our new system.

 

[Dr. Jones]

9 months after ACL surgery could be fine for a Guard.

Wonder if this will push Pugh a bit. I think Sweezy is locked in @ the LG spot.

 

[PJ1]

Low level depth signing that will end up having to play more than we want.

compared to us picking guys off the street to play late in the season, I'll take it.

 

[BW52]

Pro-football reference has him as playing both guard positions yet they list him as a Center?

Well you have a point there.
