The bill came due for taking home the Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl 50, and Broncos general manager John Elway paid it in this NFL draft. Nobody in Broncos Country likes to talk about rebuilding. But there’s a whole lot of hammering and sawing going on at Dove Valley headquarters. After missing the playoffs last season, Elway invested heavily in infrastructure before he took flash with the team’s eight picks in the draft. While the buzz will be about the speed of Louisiana Tech receiver Carlos Henderson or the potential of injured Michigan tight end Jake Butt, what Elway did in the first two rounds spoke volumes about the foundational weakness that needed immediate attention before the franchise fell into greater disrepair. Based on need, Elway picked 297-pound left tackle Garrett Boles of Utah at No.
