3. Elijah Wilkinson beats Garett Bolles for LT
The third prediction is that Elijah Wilkinson will win the left tackle job in camp…and hold it all season.
Elijah seems to be a Munchak favorite and has been told he will compete for the left tackle job with incumbent starter Garett Bolles when camp opens.
The Broncos believe in Wilkinson enough that the team did not draft a tackle with any of their 10 picks. Wilkinson is not the athlete Bolles is, but he’s steadier and offers much more consistent technique. The predictability Wilkinson offers will earn him the job throughout the season.
The Broncos may bring in a veteran tackle to compete with Wilkinson which may make this production a bit dicier…but nonetheless true. Until that addition is made if at all, look for Wilkinson to take control of the job.
