Larceny in slot 195 lands the Broncos a B, Moore and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Rod Moore at pick 195 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

If Nash pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Fannin Jr. in slot 51. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier running back value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at Round 4, Pick 19 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nick Nash
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Nash in the 189th pick, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Rod Moore
A safety of that caliber at pick 195 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick204 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A reach on Tonka Hemingway in No. 204; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
