John Elway, Vance Joseph expect Garett Bolles to solve Broncos' left tackle issue 'for a long time'

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Garett Bolles was the Broncos' man all along.

"When we look at his ability and we look at our need, it was a good fit," Executive Vice President of Football Operations/General Manager John Elway said after the first round concluded Thursday. "We still believe that he was the best guy on the board and the best guy for us."

Most importantly, Bolles could be the answer to one of the biggest roster questions that loomed when the week began.

Based on what they had on the roster before Thursday, the Broncos' stated plan was to have a competition to decide the Broncos' starting left tackle.
