02Scheme fit
Ideal system
The Broncos' zone-heavy run scheme with a focus on quick passes necessitates offensive linemen capable of executing a variety of blocks and moving well in space.
Left guardCenterSwing guard/center
Best role
Year 1 interior backup with versatility to play guard or center, projecting as a potential starting guard down the line.
Wrong fit
A power-gap scheme that emphasizes pure strength and limited movement for interior linemen.
Wattenberg's athleticism and experience in a pro-style system make him a good fit for a zone-blocking scheme, despite his less-than-ideal size.
