Key NFL Draft Additions: OT Garett Bolles, DE DeMarcus Walker, TE Jake Butt

The Denver Broncos needed to find a solid offensive tackle to replace the ineffective Russell Okung, and they couldn’t have done much better than landing Utah’s Garett Bolles.

Bolles should be a plug-and-play starter, so that should help solidify Denver’s investment in quarterback Paxton Lynch, who might wind up starting at some point this season.

Adding defensive end DeMarcus Walker should also help an already solid defense as well.

Denver is taking a risk on former Michigan tight end Jake Butt, as he recovers from a collegiate ACL injury. But if he returns to full form, he could replace the production at the position not had since the days of Julius Thomas.
