Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Broncos were there to profit. Sebastian Castro, the No. 89 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 121. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The cost of the Carroll reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
