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

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Tahj Brooks, the No. 116 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 196.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the Hemingway reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in No. 51 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A slide stopped in the 85th pick, with Gunnar Helm worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
They barely believed it either: Nicholas Singleton still on the board at the 121st overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick187 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick196 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in pick 196 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They liked Tonka Hemingway enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 203. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
