Jude Bowry: Broncos' 4th Round Steal?

0:00On April 1st, the Denver Broncos haven't drafted and built up an offensive tackle since picking Gerrit Bullis back in the first round of the 20. 17 NFL Draft Now as Bullis and Mike McGlinchee holding down the starting spots, it's smart to eye replacements for the future, especially in the 20. 26 Draft Class One name Broncos fans should know is, Jude Bowrie, the 6-foot-5, 3014-pound left tackle from Boston College. At 22 years old, he's got solid measurables like a 5.0840-yard dash, a 1.7510-yard split, and a 34-and-a-half-inch vertical jump. Bowrie's got just 23 starts under his belt, mostly at left tackle, and he shines in past protection with only three sacks given up in. College His team's run game popped off behind him, averaging over five yards per carry, and he's got quick feet that let him reach the second level. Head upside caught the Broncos eye. They brought him in for a pre-draft 30 visit to check him out of close.

1:02Scouts love his athleticism and physical tools, even if he's raw with some technique glitches and limited snaps. If Bowrie lasted the fourth round, late day two or early day three, he'd be a steal for Denver to develop into a long-term starter, keeping that line. Strong for years to come.
