The Denver Broncos were able to address their horrid offensive line in the draft by selecting Garett Bolles, an offensive lineman from Utah. The 6-foot-5 and 297 pound tackle helps fill a serious void in the Broncos offensive line. In a division with the likes of Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa, the Broncos need all the help they can get upfront.

The Broncos surrendered 40 sacks and 49 tackles for a loss in 2016. Bolles will hopefully provide additional time in the pocket for whichever young quarterback lines up behind center in 2017.

Bolles had a very rough childhood. He has said that he was lost as a kid and dealt with drugs and even some jail time as a child. Boiles was open with teams about his childhood when he met with them.

Boiles played for Snow College before transferring to Utah to finish out his college career. He was voted to the All-Pac team as a junior in 2016. Growing up in Utah, Boiles will be right at home playing for the Broncos. After struggling for much of his childhood, it is great to see Bolles overcome his struggles and be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Silverman’s pick grade: B
