Denver Broncos

Perfect draft pair: Utah OT Garett Bolles (Round 1, pick 20); Youngstown State DE Derek Rivers (Round 2, pick 51)

Jeremiah on Bolles: Denver has to continue to address its need on the offensive line. Bolles is athletic and has a nasty, physical demeanor. They want to run the football in Denver, and Bolles can help the Broncos get it done.

Brooks on Rivers: The Broncos are looking to replace DeMarcus Ware, and Rivers can help in that effort. I'm impressed with his first-step quickness, motor and burst. He can be a terrific player off the edge.
