But, that wouldn't solve the big problem on the line, RT (or LT if they move Bolles over to RT as some people suggest he needs to do). He might turn out to be a better RT than LT. After his first season he was not great. Ramcyzk was better for his team, but at RT.
Remember that neither of those guys was considered an elite LT prospect, which is why both were available in the draft in the 20's for the Broncos to draft in the first place. Most teams looked at these guys and said "Meh."
And after his first season you'd have to say "Meh" about Bolles. He wasn't terrible, considering he was a rookie, but if you remember the almost immediate development of Ryan Clady back in the day it was totally different.
Back then it was in his first training camp that Shanahan stated publicly that Clady was doing great and easily exceeding expectations. And he quickly became a pro-bowl player who in the first two years of his career had some critics saying he was almost if not quite as good as Joe Thomas. They were on a comparable upward track early in their career, although Clady got hurt and ended his career while Thomas just kept on rolling towards the Hall of Fame.
Bolles is just nothing remotely like that and it doesn't appear he's about to suddenly become a Pro-Bowl LT in his second year. Possibly, but nothing so far indicates that.
