The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Michael Penix Jr., the No. 9 name on the board, sitting there at the 43rd overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Arnold Ebiketie pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

They left with quarterback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
