Larceny in the 210th pick lands the Broncos a B-, Rourke and all.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Kurtis Rourke tumbling to the Broncos in pick No. 210 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

They are betting Skattebo proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In slot 20 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cam Skattebo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Skattebo well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than pick 85, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Smael Mondon Jr. at pick No. 121. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They reached a country mile for Trey Zuhn III at Round 6, Pick 15, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in the 199th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Steal is underselling it; Kurtis Rourke at the 210th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
