Analyzing the scheme used by Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave & what players from the 2018 draft are the best fit in the new offense.

To analyze Musgrave’s offense, look back to what the Oakland Raiders offense looked like in 2016. Musgrave was the offensive coordinator in Oakland during the 2016 season and will bring a similar scheme to Denver this season.

Musgrave’s system in 2016 creatively used modern spread offensive formations. By using creative formations, Musgrave allowed Derek Carr to make easy reads in the passing game. Musgrave also used run-pass options (RPOs), one quarterback in the draft class was extremely successful with RPOs in college but we will get to that later.

Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper were the lead receivers for that season. In the backfield, Latavius Murray was the lead running back on the 6th best rushing offense in 2016. Oakland’s offensive line was the strength of the team during Musgrave’s tenure and they often used a sixth lineman, lined up as a tight end, in short yardage situations.

Which prospects could fit Bill Musgrave’s scheme in Denver? Let’s take a look.
