The Broncos went back to Tempe.
A day after Denver drafted Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler, the front office plucked another player from the Arizona State campus in defensive back Omar Bolden.
A four-year starter, the 5-foot-10, 202-pound Bolden missed all of last season after tearing his ACL in a spring practice. But he said he is healthy and ready to go.
“Oh yeah, I’ve got (my speed) back,” Bolden said in a conference call. “I’m ready to play, ready to compete.”
Despite his injury, Bolden was still named a team captain his last year and earned Hard Hat player recognition for his work in the Arizona State weight room.
His main position was cornerback in college, but the Broncos could also use him as a punt returner.
“I love returning the ball,” Bolden said. “I played running back in high school so anytime I can get my hands on the ball, I enjoy it. I take pride in doing it.”

Do you guys think that Bolden or Osweiler will be campaigning for Burfict… they both played with him already?
Man the fact he was elected team captain despite being out for the season speaks loudly about his Character.
Sounds like a good guy to have picked. I love a CB who wants his hands on the ball haha
BT, im not sure they have much to say on the subject. Unless they are asked.
Cincy and Philly have had AMAZING drafts so far….
I wonder if Jake gave his pops a report on ASU players??
I believe our next picks will be LB and WR
I would love to get Winn
That’s what I meant LVD… do you think they would be For or Against him coming… Ossy ought to have good insight on his true personality…
It depends on how Burfict was liked in the locker room Turtle. I get the feeling that he was well-liked by his teammates for his intensity so it wouldn’t surprise me if they are.
Philly IMO has had the best draft!
Jack AB, Jack Elway haha. But I think we went down there a saw quite a few guys we liked, maybe because Jack had an inside look
AB… tought to argue with you… NE had the best first round, but Philly has made four picks that are stellar… Cox and Kendricks have to get your fans excited…
Yea sorry Jack lol. Wasnt paying much attention lol
lotta teams have had steller drafts ours is so so
What up SW… I am now really rooting for Burfict to come here!!! Time we got a little Romanowski attitude back with our D….
Why were there so many boos for the eagles? haha
Not only Cox and Kendricks but get Curry where they did? Thats such a huge value for him! Such a great pass rusher to have fallen that far.
Now they add Boykin! Man Philly is turning in an amazing draft
Not much Turtle, been studying over the past week or so. But I got everything taken care of so I could watch the draft haha. I kinda am too, but I really hope it’d pan out with him like I see it happening.
Bills have had a pretty great draft too! Very under the radar. They took another one of my CBs he was my #4 for today. Ron Brooks has less than stellar stats but is good. He will be able to handle Gronk or Hernandez
and now Boykin for Eagles. Great draft for Eagles for sure.
We need a Romanowski type attitude in our LB corp. Burfit can be that attitude.
Eagles Bills Chiefs Bucs Chargers Jets Rams all have had a steller draft i really love the rams draft man o man gotta be some thrilled fans in st lou
Let’s just avoid the orbital bone shattering huh? haha
the texans just know defense man
There goes Crick to the Texans. I am not surprised they took him this late.
Can I say this without starting a fire on here…
Elway says no one was worth our pick 25 or 31, and then we pull Wolfe in the 2nd… Belicheat actually traded up two times, the second for Hightower, who some claim is best suited for a 3-4 (exactly the same report was made about Miller last year but we took him anyway)…
Who do you have more faith in evaluating talent at this point? I feel like we are kind of like a JV version of what a Championship team should be… fair assessment?
there went Royalts guy to the Lions. Then Millertimes guy to the Texans
i agree philly n buffalo have good drafts but st louis has had just as good if not a better draft. cincy not doin too bad either. we”ve done well, i think a b- is our grade. hard to get an a+. and hard to tell for a few years overall anyway.
Agreed Skillz… St. Louis did EXCELLENT…
AB, did STL get Dallas’ first rounder next year in exchange for the #6 this year? I haven’t found the details of that trade?
crap. texans got crick. i liked him especially in the 5th. shoulda known tho. and ronnell lewis is a good one too. i just hope our draft turns out well, i cant seem to get overly excited about it.
Bills Rams and Philly are the closest to an A+ IMO. All three have a solid A so far.
there was def people worth taking at the 25 spot for our team turtle i agree
BT No I dont think so. I believe it was just 1st and 2nd this year.
Raiders might take Burfict or Derek Carrier, raiders love the attitude
I told ya’ll They would pick Blake from Baylor last night. Word was that Bolden was off the board cause of the ACL injury. Guess Brock put a good word in for him.
With our last two picks im really hoping at least one of them is Danny Coale.
i would like terrel manning any1 else?
ya i thought dallas gave up a 1st next yr along with this years second and 1st but they didnt. i had said initially they gave up too much until i realized the only thing they lost was their 2nd this yr. claiborne def worth that. st. louis shoulda asked for one more pick, like a 5th or something.
BT- Belichick really hasn’t had all that great success in the draft.. Look it up if you don’t believe me. We’ll see how it turns out in due time, pretty soon to cast judgement IMO
*when you consider all the picks the Pats have had
Skillz I really dont know anything about him.
He’s an all world coach, who could probably win with the Dolphins squad
he will be very a very solid addition ab
there goes my dyslexia
OT… true, but how many times has BB moved up? not many, his thing had been volume to get quality… He knows talent, and I am curious what he saw in those to players CJ (AB’s guy) and DH (My guy)…?
yah i was always tell my friend if Belicheat new how to draft that team would always win championships. they always seem to have like 10 picks each draft. 2 1st and 2nds most of the time it seems and they dont hit much. this year they traded up, unusual of them. we will have to see, but most their drafts not super great.
ab coale ok but manning could be easily a bust. athletic but not football instincts really. maybe a special teamer tho
I may just have to look him up Skillz. A LB I like is Danny Trevathan
