The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Harvey: B-.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: DJ Harvey, the No. 223 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 7 slot like a gift left on the doorstep. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
The board fumbled Caleb Banks all the way to pick 62, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They let Eli Stowers come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They did well to land Darrell Jackson Jr. in the 94th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaishawn Barham. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Logan Jones
No drama and no debate, Logan Jones went about where he belonged in the 130th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
They read the board right and Chase Roberts was the payoff at slot 168. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 DJ Harvey
DJ Harvey at pick No. 246 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick251 Rnd7 Alan Herron
Alan Herron in Round 7, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas at pick 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
