In the 30 days leading up to the start of Denver Broncos Training Camp 2016, we’re examining 30 big questions for the season. We’ll make a case for each answer; you’ll vote and tell Broncos Country what’s going to happen this year.

If there was one unit on the Denver Broncos that desperately needed fixing in 2015 it was the offensive line.

The Broncos entered the season without their starting left tackle after four-time Pro Bowler Ryan Clady suffered a torn ACL in May 2015 that ended his season before it began. Rookie Ty Sambrailo assumed the starting role for three games before he went down with a torn labrum and bone spur in his shoulder, ultimately ending his season.

The Broncos offensive line had been shuffled around and stuck together with bubblegum and duct tape before the season was a quarter of the way through. Nagging injuries to veterans Evan Mathis and Louis Vasquez diminished their snaps as the season wore on. The inexperience of Michael Schofield was apparent on an almost weekly basis.

Yet, when push came to shove, the offensive line proved that is was good enough to get the job done. While they weren’t the best in the NFL, they were still a valuable part of the Broncos latest championship.

Still, John Elway made it his first priority in free agency to overhaul the unit that was clearly the weak link in 2015, trading Clady and adding new tackles Russell Okung and Donald Stephenson while letting Mathis and Vasquez pursue other opportunities. He moved Sambrailo to guard, promoted Max Garcia to full-time starter and added guard Connor McGovern in the fifth round of the draft.

Will this revamped line be any better? There are a scenarios that could play out.

Scenario 1: Newly acquired tackles Okung and Stephenson will be a shell of their former selves. The inexperience on the interior line will prove to be too much and whoever is lining up at quarterback will be running for his life. The lack of continuity from season to season results in the Broncos giving up more sacks than they did the previous year (40 or more).

Scenario 2: Trading Clady away and releasing Vasquez proves to be the correct decision for the Broncos, although the line still takes some time to gel. Sambrailo remains healthy, Okung and Stephenson hold their own and they manage to improve on last year (less than 39) but don’t emerge as an elite unit.

Scenario 3: Bringing in Okung and Stephenson pays immediate dividends. The entire offensive line manages to stay healthy and they learn to work together as a unit. Gary Kubiak’s offense produces one of the top offensive lines in the NFL and they end up allowing less sacks than they did in 2013 (20 or less).

Scenario 4: The offensive line completely turns around. Okung and Stephenson prove to be the missing pieces to Kubiak’s offense and the line manages to say completely healthy. With no setbacks whatsoever, allows less sacks than they did in 2014 (17 or less), becoming the elite unit in the league.

What do you think? How many sacks will the offensive line allow in 2016?
