Taken by the San Francisco 49ers with the 202nd overall pick, Pita Taumoepenu was the sixth and final Utah Ute selected in the 2017 NFL Draft.
If that sounds a little familiar, it’s because Denver took the guy at the other end of that list with the 20th overall pick: left tackle Garett Bolles. Unfortunately for Taumoepenu, the gap in their draft slots is matched by the gap in their NFL exposure. Four years in, he’s played in only seven NFL games, with no starts, compared to Bolles’ 65 starts.
